I think later works could get sub-bulleted/mentioned if they add/change/"evolve" something about the character.

I'm not familiar with Sheena but I think Tarzan would count. Talking with animals, NotQuiteFlight by jungle [[VineSwing vines]]. Quote from wikipedia: "His strength, speed, stamina, agility, reflexes, senses, flexibility, durability, endurance, and swimming are extraordinary in comparison to normal men."

He also seem to have a superhuman ability to learn new languages: "He learns a new language in days, ultimately speaking many languages, including that of the great apes, French, English, Dutch, German, Swahili, many Bantu dialects, Arabic, ancient Greek, ancient Latin, Mayan, the languages of the Ant Men and of Pellucidar."

"In Tarzan's Quest (1935), he was one of the recipients of an immortality drug at the end of the book that functionally made him immortal."

To tie back to the first part, Tarzan becoming immortal would obviously be a reason to mention this later work. Due to the strong connection between comic books and superheroes it might also be worth to mention that Tarzan was first adopted to comicbook in 1929.
