Orana: the forgotten Wonder Woman
Orana
A red-haired Amazon who challenged Princess Diana for the title of Wonder Woman. She succeeded but was killed in her first mission, battling a terrorist called Warhead, after which Diana avenged her death.
I liked her, but I guess DC didn't know what to do with Orana...oh, they did about 20 years later. She became Artemis!

- Wonder Man
- I'm very laid back and easy going. I like to meet people, read, talk about politics, culture and life. I am a huge comic book fan (X-Men family and Wonder Woman) I also want to say that I am a proud black gay man...no 'down low' drama here

The Orana storyline was one of the first in my run of WW comics...so I remember her fondly.
I think they retold the story a little better with Artemis, having by then set up the whole (unfortunately named) Bana Mighdal Amazons.
I liked the way that Artemis was growing as a character (after returning from the dead) and so I was disappointed when all the Amazons went away during the OMAC crisis...
I hope she'll be back, strong as ever, when the Paradise Island "gals" finally reappear this year...and Phillipus, too, who's always been one of my favorite supporting cast members.
