Antiope was a brave leader among the Amazons of Themyscira.

History
When the techno-organic viral version of the Anti-Life Equation spread around the world, the island of Themyscira became one of the last few refuges for the survivors until a horde of infected Atlanteans led by Aquaman riding a Kraken put an end to the island and the Amazons.
Antiope had fought bravely alongside her Amazon sisters so that the surviving humans could take off on the ark prepared to leave the Earth, but she was bitten by an Atlantean and infected with the virus.[1]

- Self-Sustenance: So long as the Amazons stay on Themyscira, she does not require food, water or any other form of nourishment to maintain her health and vitality.[3] Although they are not susceptible to the throes of hunger, this does not mean that Amazons don't consume food for enjoyment. The Amazons frequently hold great festivals wherupon food is served.
