Background:

Artemis/Requiem: Part of a tribe of Amazons that descended from Diana's Aunt, Antiope, Artemis grew up not knowing the joys of living in paradise. Taught the ways of a warrior since youth, Artemis is perhaps the best the Amazons have to offer on the fields of war.

Artemis, along with her tribe of Amazons, were able to regain their place on Paradise Island due to the help of the witch Circe (see Circe). Shortly thereafter, she participated in a second contest to choose the Ambassador to Man's World, "Wonder Woman". Able to win the contest due to a spell that (unknowingly) gave her half of Diana's gods given powers, Artemis traveled to Man's World to begin her brief reign as the Amazon Champion. A harsher, more violent Wonder Woman, Artemis was often in trouble for her short temper, and under media scrutiny for her violent means of fighting crime.

Artemis was killed in Diana's stead by The White Magician. Sent to Hades, she quickly rose in rank, and became the wife/concubine of one of the Thirteen Princes of Hades. Believing her to be in great pain, Diana entered the realm of the dead and attempted to rescue Artemis. Together, they fled Hades (not by Artemis' choice), and Artemis has since joined a group known as the Hellenders, whose sole purpose is to rid the world of demon's.

More recently, Artemis has re-entered Diana's life, and is helping out with the new Wonder Girl's (see Cassandra Sandsmark/Wonder Girl) training.

Notes:

  • During her brief role as Wonder Woman, her strength was increased ten-fold by wearing the Gauntlet of Atlas, and was able to fly with the use of Hermes' winged sandals.

  • Artemis was rejected during the current JLA's first recruitment drive, although she may be called upon if her expertise is needed
