Isis (DC Comics)

Within the character's original appearance in The Secrets of Isis starring Joanna Cameron, her alter ego is Andrea Thomas, a science teacher who gains powers linked to the aforementioned ancient Egyptian goddess through a magical amulet during a archaeological dig and becomes a superhero. Much later, the character was re-invented as Adrianna Tomaz, a Egyptian refugee forced into slavery by Intergang but freed from captivity by Black Adam. Impressed with her diplomatic philosophy and outspoken nature, he gives her a magical amulet also once empowered by the Wizard Shazam, transforming her into "Isis", a demigoddess-like being with powers akin to her namesake. She marries Black Adam and alongside her brother, Amon Tomaz (aka Osiris), she is a member of the Black Marvel Family and Queen of Kahndaq. The character is later killed off by enemies with ties to Apokolips and various revisions had since resurrected the character. In current continuity, Isis remains dead. The television series Smallville depicts Isis as a supervillain form taken on by Lois Lane (portrayed by Erica Durance) when possessed by the Amulet of Isis. Adrianna Tomaz appears later in the episode, portrayed by Erica Cerra.
