Insulet Announces Official Collaboration with Marvel
Dyasonic: Sound of Strength—Marvel & Omnipod Give Diabetes a Super-Hero Moment
What happens when cutting-edge diabetes tech meets the Marvel Universe? You get Dyasonic: Sound of Strength, a brand-new comic created by Marvel in partnership with Insulet, makers of the Omnipod 5 insulin pump. The story introduces Omnya—a science-loving teenager recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes—who battles the sinister villain D’Spayre while learning to manage her condition with an insulin pump.
Representation in pop culture isn’t just a nice-to-have; it shapes how millions of people see themselves. Insulet’s own survey showed that 94 % of people with type 1 diabetes want accurate media portrayals, yet barely half recall seeing any over the past year. By casting Omnya front and center—and letting her diabetes tech fuel her transformation into Dyasonic—the comic chips away at stigma and invites readers to see strength where they might have felt vulnerability.
From Pump to Power
Omnya’s journey echoes a real-world truth: getting glucose levels in range can feel downright heroic. After her endocrinologist prescribes the tubeless Omnipod 5 system, she gains the confidence (and steady blood sugars) to unleash high-frequency sonic gloves of her own design. Her message is clear: with the right tools, you can “take on anything—and anyone.”
A New Kind of Origin Story
Dyasonic’s foe, D’Spayre, feeds on hopelessness—making him the perfect metaphor for the burnout and isolation many with diabetes face. Watching Omnya out-smart (and out-sound-wave) him serves as a rallying cry for readers of any age: diabetes may be part of your story, but it doesn’t get to be the author.
