VILLAINS! Your Thoughts On: QUEEN CLEA!

[Nyssane]

Queen Clea is one of the few enemies of Wonder Woman that can actually hold her own physically. There's also word of her reappearing in the upcoming Seven Kings storyline, which would make sense as she was Queen of the Atleantean city Venturia. What does everyone think of this aquatic heavy-hitter?



I'm personally a huge fan of Queen Clea. I think there's a lot of potential to be had with a villain who is Diana's physical rival, as well as a royal title for the Atlanteans. I've been craving a Wonder Woman/Aquaman team-up against Queen Clea for quite some time. I also think she's a better fit for leader of Villainy Inc. over Eviless. So, yeah... in my opinion, she has all the traits of a great female supervillain. I just wish she'd be used to her potential.



I really applaud Phil Jimenez for dusting off characters like Clea, Angle Man, Giganta, Dr. Poison, etc. It's something not very many Wonder Woman writers have done unfortunately.

I've loved Queen Clea since JLA #135. I was thrilled when Phil brought her back during his run on Wonder Woman. I wonder if there's any chance she'll appear in the upcoming Aquaman Annual that also features Wonder Woman?

Awesome villain. A total badass. I very much want to see more of her.

What powers should she have with the trident?

What powers should she have with the trident?

I think it should have a variety of magical abilities like:
-energy projection/shields
-provide enhanced strength, speed, durability, etc. for user
-provide flight & levitation of objects/self
-be virtually unbreakble w/ capability to pierce most objects
-provide extreme water-bending and manipulation of water as liquid, ice, mist/gas, and even some bloodbending
-allow for control of marine life of both animals and plant-life

This combined with Clea already being the Queen of her own nation should make her a formidable foe for not only Wonder Woman, but other heroes like Aquaman and even the entire Justice League. It should also place her among the elite of DC villainy.

Hey should she keep these powers when not with the trident?
