Megan Fox wouldn't mind jumping into the superhero pool.

The actress tells me she'd be up for some action-packed crime fighting.

"I don't have one specifically in mind, but there's a comic book called Gen 13 that they need to make into a movie," Fox said, explaining that there are "three female ass-kicking superheroes. That's an opportunity to put three super-hot, awesome badass girls in a movie, and I imagine it would be so lucrative."

The fierce trio includes characters Caitlin Fairchild, Roxanne "Freefall" Spaulding and Sarah Rainmaker.

Fox also suggests Sailor Moon, but warns, "I wouldn't want to be in this, but they're all schoolgirls and superheroes. That's right up a lot of people's alley."

She's already proven her action chops in Transformers and in the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot (in theaters on Aug. 8). "These movies feel like home to me," she said, adding, "It just feels right."

Fox said she's been an longtime fan of TMNT. "My older sister exposed me to this when I was about 5, and I was obsessed with it," Fox said. "It was one of the movies I used to make [husband Brian Austin Green] watch all the time when we would go on dates. We would have movie night at home and watch The Secret of the Ooze because that's the best movie ever."
