Honestly, ..even I have to banish myself to the pointy-headed fan hell, for not recognizing her and giving due credit to her creator, for his genius. For being one of Those Who Know Not Great Wonder-villains, When We're Sitting On Them, even though I wrote an opinion about her, too often, I completely forget that she exists and is the hands-down greatest Wonder-villain, since the Baroness. For ambition alone, enough that she actually took dictation, from Darkseid, once or twice, to realize her black, misandrist ambitions of subjugating the world to Amazon rule, at her hand, ..of course.
It's her mission, beginning life, as an Amazon assassin, ..and she's got a LAIR. Only cool villains, like Lex Luthor and Doctor Doom, get lairs.
Myrina Black, hot and fresh-outta-the-box, turn-key ready, with no further need of development, is, quite possibly, the hands-down greatest WW super-villain of all time. So radically Amazonian, in her ambitions - for Amazons, pursuit of freedom is a religion - that she would do it, with Darkseid, and risk dooming our world to bring forth his child, ..and all to stop his Anti-life Equation, a cosmic lobotomy, which spells the end of free will, throughout the known universe. Furthermore, it's plain that Darkseid's existence is an untenable sacrilege to any freedom-loving Amazon, and Myrina meets that, with ambitions, which are not merely global, ..but, cosmic! Her blind, boundless, fearless ambition and audacity (nerve) is such that nothing, not even the challenges of time and space, will stop her. This woman is the ultimate Amazon and, ironically, ..the ultimate, natural nemesis, for Wonder Woman!
Look at what she is willing to do to get the job done - ye gods! It's apocalyptic.
Her creator, Geoff Johns, responsible for revitalizing the Flash and Green Lantern, and building mytho-verses around them, which made them some of the most commercially successful superhero comics, in modern comics, has a nigh unmatched understanding of what makes a classic supervillain - namely, natural villainy - which makes him, a sort of industry genius. All of that went into the crafting of Myrina Black, a megalomaniac to outclass Cheetah, Doctor Cyber, Super Woman, Grail, Queen Clea and the rest...
Beside whom, even the best of them, they look hopelessly clownish.
In the old days, a great editor would retcon her into everything, as Johns comes close to doing. He would reveal her, as Jessica Walter's Gloria Marquez ..and even Ahnjayla...maybe, the first Cheetah. What's genius about Johns's writing Myrina is that, she has been there, badass LAIR and all, while writers have wasted our time, with Cheetahs and Circes and Boo B'Ares! In the old days of superhero comic editing, Myrina Black wouldn't have been wasted - we'd have stories...
And she would be on a lunchbox. Read why, here: https://wondabunga.blogspot.com/2021...st-wonder.html
