Queen Clea (Earth-Two)

As Queen of a crumbling, submerged, Atlantean outpost named Venturia, Queen Clea enslaved the men of her realm and amused herself by putting many to death in gladiatorial combat. Desiring extended rule, Clea repeatedly and unsuccessfully attacked Venturia's flourishing sister city of Aurania. Despite these failures, she expanded her ambition towards domination over the entire lost continent of Atlantis. In order to do this, Clea stole the fabled Trident of Poseidon to make herself virtually unstoppable.^{[citation needed]}

When Clea took her battle to the surface world she battled against Wonder Woman in the 1940s, and was defeated. Clea then teamed with the original Villainy Inc. in order to overtake Wonder Woman but this did not work out either.
