History

Isis is the daughter of Geb and Nut, two members of an extra-dimensional race known as the Ennead, who were worshipped as gods by the Ancient Egyptians. When her brother Osiris replaced his father as Pharaoh of Egypt, he took her to be his queen without any objection from their parents. As Osiris spread the accomplishments of Egypt across the world, Isis also proved herself as a wise and just ruler in his absence. In ancient times, she was credited by helping to civilize the ancient Egyptians by showing them how to grind corn and how to spin and weave cloth. She also taught medicine and instituted the first rites of marriage. Isis was so loved by the Egyptians that they counted her as superior to all other goddesses such as Inanna to the Sumerians.

Isis and Osiris, meanwhile, had a brother named Seth, the god of misfortune, who hated Osiris. Seth had Osiris imprisoned within a sarcophagus and tossed it into the Nile where it was lost in its turbulent waters. Out of remorse Isis cut off all her hair and fled to Chemmis where she was protected by her half-brother, Khnemu, the god of the Nile. During her stay, she gave birth to Horus, the youngest son of Osiris, and Khnemu helped her to conceal Horus from Seth. Wearing clothes of mourning, Isis departed Khnemu to search the banks of the Nile for her husband’s body. She eventually heard a rumor from children about a sarcophagus that had been washed up from the Nile and caught in the branches of a tree, from where was taken by the King of Byblos. Isis managed to endear herself to his servants to gain entrance to his court where the sarcophagus was displayed. To earn the right to claim it, she promised to make the Royal heir an immortal, but the Queen screamed as Isis attempted to burn off the child’s mortality. Frightened by the distraction, Isis revealed her godhood and demanded the return of her husband.

Isis concealed the sarcophagus in a swamp, but upon learning that his brother had been found, Seth appeared as Isis opened the tomb and cut Osiris up into several pieces then became scattered to the winds. Isis called upon the gods to collect the pieces and restore them as Anubis, her stepson, mummified them as a whole figure. With the aid of Anubis and several other gods, they were able to restore Osiris to life, but by now, he had seen enough of the afterlife that he decided to return to rule it. By now, Horus had grown fully into adulthood and deposed Seth as Ruler of Egypt.

During this time, Osiris and Isis were elevated to the position of gods. Isis and Osiris also reportedly appeared in a vision to the youth En Sabah Nur, a slave of later Pharaoh Rama-Tut. Osiris warned the boy not to become drawn to the Princess Nephri as he could never have her, but Nur did not fully understand the warning and did not heed it. As a result, Nur set into motion a string of events that would transform him into the mutant terrorist known as Apocalypse, a prophecy Osiris had hoped to prevent from occurring.

At some time in the past, Isis appeared to the Egyptian wizard Shazam imprisoned by an evil magician named Serpenotep. She helped to free him by donating part of her life energies into an amulet. Shazam placed the amulet into a tiara and gave it to a young woman of noble heart who became Isis’s defender on earth and defeated Serpenotep, ousting him from rule and freeing Shazam. The tiara that held the amulet was passed down through the years through the young girl’s descendants, including Queen Hatshephut in the 15th Century BC, one of Egypt’s few female pharaohs. Shazam later created a similar spell for a male champion based on the power of the gods of Greece. In the Twentieth Century, one of Queen Hatshephut’s descendants, an archaeologist named Dr. Andrea Thomas, rediscovered the tiara in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings and used it to become the heroine known as Isis.


The Amulet

Over three-thousand years ago, an Egyptian sorcerer crafted a mystical amulet and gave it to his queen, Hatshepsut, declaring that it contained the power of the goddess Isis herself. The wearer of such an item could command the power of the animals and of the elements. "You will soar as the falcon soars..." he told the queen. "...run with the speed of gazelles, and command the elements of sky and Earth". Three millennia later, a California science teacher named Andrea Thomas went on an archaeological dig in Egypt and uncovered the amulet. She instinctively learned about the relic's history and power and used it to transform herself into a champion for good. Calling herself Isis, after the amulet’s namesake, Andrea Thomas used her elemental powers to right wrongs and protect her friends. Others have used it since Andrea in the 1970s, such as Adrianna Tomaz and the current bearer Karan Creed.

The truth behind the amulet is that Isis voluntarily bound herself to the artifact as penance for an unrevealed wrongdoing. Although the sorcerer had the skill to create such a thing, he did not have the power to command gods. So Isis bound herself. She joins personalities with the bearers of the amulet and helps them to better themselves and the world.


Windrider

When Deadpool randomly delivered a bag full of stolen weapons and magical gear, Karan jumped at the chance to try the items out. She settled on a beautiful Egyptian amulet. When she put it on, she was overcome with the urge to cry "Oh Mighty Isis!" and was transformed into the ancient goddess Isis. Karan now stays in Isis form most of the time.

As Isis, she was transformed by two spells, the first by Mad Katz rendered Karan's form into that of a child. The second was a Bizarro Ray unleashed in Gotham City that turned her into a heartless monster. When Professor Xavier (effected by the same ray) telekinetically booted her across the state to Opal City she received some brain damage. Isis was met by The Shade, Stargirl, and Sister Grimm who were almost immediately attacked by Cassandra Nova. When Cassandra attacked Isis's mind she recovered her senses.

Isis and Karan realized that their spirits were tied together when Celeste placed their minds in Charles Xavier's mind to help him recover his memories; the two were literally shackled together on a psychic level. Karan then decided that she needed a personality change; instead of taking a psychotic medication, Isis suggested she meld their personalities a bit. Since then, Karan has become calmer and kinder.


Valentine's harassment
The X-mansion was invaded by a group of hate mongers. During the confusion, a young girl named Valentine stole some things from the X-men and escaped to Gotham City without notice. Isis did notice her, however, and left the mansion to follow the girl and teach her a lesson. Isis literally wanted to teach her the error of her ways but the girl had no such compunctions. In fact, Poison Ivy intervened and knocked out an unsuspecting Isis. While she was unconscious, Valentine drew obscenities and a mustache on her, stripped Isis, and threw her in a dumpster. Isis didn't know that the girl left the amulet behind along with her clothes; she assumed Valentine stole it since she had asked Ivy if it was ok if she took it.

Isis was saved by The Riddler, who took her to his home to recover. He also offered to help Isis recover her amulet in exchange for friendship. Isis agreed. Edward had overheard Ivy talking about invading the Wayne Manor, so the two immediately headed there to confront the person Isis calls "Invisigirl".

Powers

Isis possesses the conventional physical attributes of the Egyptian gods. Like all of the Ennead, she is extremely long-lived, but she is not immortal like the Olympian gods. She has not aged nor started showing the outward sings of aging since reaching adulthood and cannot die by any conventional means. Se is immune to all Earthly diseases and is resistant to conventional injury. If she were somehow wounded, her godly life force would enable her to recover with superhuman speed. It would take an injury of such magnitude that it dispersed a major portion of her bodily molecules to cause her a physical death. Even then, it might be possible for a god of significant power, such as Ammon-Ra, Osiris or for a number of Egyptian gods of equal power working together to revive her. Isis also possesses superhuman strength and her Ennead metabolism provides her with far greater than human endurance in all physical activities. (The flesh and bone of the Egyptian gods is about three times as dense as similar human tissue, contributing to Ennead superhuman strength and weight.)

Isis also has extra-ordinary powers above the majority of the Egyptian Gods to tap into and manipulate mystical energy with the obvious exception of such gods as Ammon-Ra, Osiris and Seth. Elemental in nature, she can control and influence the weather to create storms and control the wind. She can travel dimensionally, such as from Earth to Celestial Heliopolis and back again, send her voice and image across space and manipulate energy, such as she when she donated some of her godly attributes into the mortal heroine named Isis. She can also change her form at will and can appear in gigantic stature or an immaterial form seemingly created from astral matter to appear before mortals. She has also exhibited the power to raise and protect the spirits of the dead, but to fully raise one back to a full semblance of life, she has to rely on the added life energies of other gods, such as Anubis and Amaunet.

Amulet of Isis
Powers of the Amulet of Hathshepsut/Isis: The powers of the amulet vary slightly by user based on their goals, strengths, and skills. However, the basic powers seem to be among the following:
  • Superhuman Strength: Isis has superhuman strength drawn from the Egyptian Gods, and can lift in access, 100 tons. She is one of the strongest women on Earth, and nearly on the same level as Wonder Woman.
  • Superhuman Durability:Isis possesses a high degree of invulnerablity to monst conventional weapons and magical harm.
  • Superhuman Speed: ability to sharpen her awareness and increase her temporal flow, appearing to move faster than humanly possible. She can move at incredible speeds, possibly equal to Wonder Woman, but maybe approaching that of Jesse Quick who can attain speeds up to the half of the speed of light. She can move fast enough to not register in the normal peripheral range of humans and seemingly vanish and disappear at will. At this speed, her mind processes information at least on a subliminal level that she is aware of her surroundings.
  • Superhuman Stamina: Her godly metabolism provides her with far greater than human endurance in all physical activities.
  • Superhuman Wisdom: Isis has exceptional photographic recall and mental acuity allowing him to read and decipher hieroglyphics, recall everything she has ever learned, solve long mathematical equations instantaneously and make intuitive guesses based on limited data to the point her guesses are almost always correct.
  • Flight: Isis can also mystically fly through the atmosphere through sure act of will, enabling her to soar through the atmosphere at sub-orbital levels and travel across the planet. She is immune from the effects of extreme height, such as dizziness and lightheadedness. With effort, she can travel from the earth to the moon, but she requires extra-precautionary paraphernalia for interstellar travel.
  • Psychokinesis: By using a second amulet affixed to her brow, Isis can perceive objects from a remote distance. She can only use this ability to see things taking place in the present. It does not grant her the power of precognition or postcognition. The exact range of this ability is unknown.
  • Telekinesis: ability to move objects with the power of the mind.
  • Healing: ability to heal minor and fatal wounds.
  • Elemental Control: Isis has the ability to control various aspects of nature. As Isis, Adrianna has control over all of the elements. For example, she can summon a mighty wind to sweep across the land, increase or decrease the force of gravity, control the weather, create vegetation or cause geysers of molten lava to spontaneously rise from the ground. Her ability to control nature was attuned to her emotions as well.
  • Chlorokinesis: One of the many applications of Isis' command over the elements is the ability to manipulate and control plant life.
