Artemis of Bana-Mighdall is a fictional Amazon superheroine, a comic
book character published by DC Comics.Artemis of Bana-Mighdall debuted
in Wonder Woman (vol. 2) #90 (September 1994) and was created by
writer William Messner-Loebs and artist Mike Deodato.As described in
her comic book appearances, Artemis was born an Amazon as a member of
the Egyptian tribe of Bana-Mighdall, who migrated from Greece to
various European and Middle Eastern countries before finally settling
in Egypt. Three thousand years ago, the two Amazon Queens (Hippolyta
and Antiope) split the Amazon nation in two. Hippolyta's tribe
traveled to the isolated island of Themyscira (otherwise known as
Paradise Island) to live immortal lives in order to protect the
doorway to the Underworld called Doom's Doorway. Antiope's tribe was
never given immortality and were forced to mate with common men in
order to guarantee their tribe's survival over the centuries. As they
had renounced their Olympian gods once the two Queens parted ways,
they eventually began to assimilate various religions and goddesses
from the many lands they traveled to. Some of those included the
goddesses Isis, Mammitu, Bast, and Neith. It was in Egypt that they
finally built the city of Bana-Mighdall, which in their language
translates to "The Temple of Women". Thanking the Amazons for their
worship, one of their new goddesses created a powerfully consistent
sandstorm to surround and protect their city from any outsiders who
could not be trusted, or "ariadnas". The Bana-Mighdallian Amazons
eventually began an uneasy trade with outside cities in order to
create commerce. They would exchange custom-made weapons and their
warrior skills for goods and slaves for breeding.Over the centuries
the Bana-Mighdallian weapons and services became above par and were in
much demand. This way of living continued until the late 20th century.
It was into this period that Artemis was born. As a child, Artemis was
raised in poverty among her tribe, running naked through barren hills
and often hungry. By the time she was 10 years old she was trained to
carry 50 lbs. packs silently across night battlefields. At one point
in her teens she briefly left her people to find a new life in Man's
World, allying with Ra's al Ghul as he launched a plan to decimate the
world with stolen nuclear missiles acquired with the aid of a salvaged
Bizarro, claiming to be eighteen rather than fourteen and proving
herself as a trained warrior by defeating several of Ra's forces.
After being defeated by Batman-although her ability to hold her own
against him when she was only fourteen was still impressive-Artemis
eventually turned against Ra's after leading him to Themyscira with
the intention of allowing him to use it as a base, realising during
the attack that she could not cause the deaths of her own people. She
returned home after being inspired by a brief meeting with Superman,
opting to return to a life of relative tranquility. Artemis of Bana-Mighdall Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
