Golden Age Origin Edit

In the vast cold reaches of the far north lives Amazona, The Mighty Woman, of surpassing strength and unmatched beauty. She and her people are the last survivors of a super race that perished during the period of the last ice age. When she meets a handsome explorer named Blake Manners who accidentally stumbled upon their citadel after surviving an ill-fated expedition, she becomes infatuated with him and follows him back to America.

In America, Amazona and Blake go to a party, but it is crashed by gangsters. Amazona manages to stop the criminals and avoid being caught up in a fiery explosion.

While she made only one appearance, Blake was supposedly able to investigate a murder case in the next issue with Amazona's help.

Amazona's superpowers include immunity to the effects of cold, super strength, superhuman endurance, and cat-like agility.

Historical Note Edit

While many have assumed that Amazona was inspired by Wonder Woman (first appearance All-Star Comics #8, Jan 1942, therfore hitting the news stand in 1941), Amazona actually debuted over a year earlier.
