Doris Zuel is the giantess Giganta, a genius scientist and thief with the ability to increase her size to hundreds of feet in seconds. Her criminal activities have made her a regular foe of Wonder Woman.

Origin

As a child, Doris Zuel was bullied because of a rare blood disease. When she got older, she tried to cure herself with a radical procedure that gave her the power to change her size.[1]

Trinity War

Doris Zuel was among the many supervillains to join the Secret Society. She assisted the Vandal Savage and Signalman into tracking Pandora. When the three villains attacked Pandora, Pandora successfully subdued Giganta. After her first encounter with Pandora, Giganta returned for revenge. While facing Pandora, Pandora looked into Giganta's soul and learned of her past.[1]

Agent of S.H.A.D.E.

Giganta was recruited by agents of S.H.A.D.E. to serve as a supernormal asset, fighting vampires and other monsters. She was tempted by the offer of a pardon for her crimes almost as much for the chance to kill things.[2]

Rebirth

Some years later Giganta returned to her criminal ways and performed a series of museum robberies, stealing New Gods' artefacts for a benefactor unknown to her. She was eventually stopped by Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor and detained by A.R.G.U.S..[3] She would make deals with A.R.G.U.S. where she would lend them her aid in exchange for a reduced prison sentence. On one such occasion she was requested by Wonder Woman to help hunt titans in Colorado. While reluctant to help her former enemy, Giganta teamed up with Wonder Woman and manged to stop the titan attacks when they found out they were the result of an Amazonian sword which was recovered by a mortal bystander.[4]
