- And now that you are helpless to disobey me--no power on earth can stop my termite armies from destroying man's world!

Termite Queen was an oddly powered termite that controlled its fellows to cause mass damage until tracked down by Wonder Woman.
History
The queen was able to control termites and make them eat metal and directed them to attack important human structures such as bridges. This targeted destruction, and the fact that termites were now eating metals, indicated that there was some kind of intelligence directing the termites and that there had been a significant change to them so Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor investigated, and found themselves confronted by a vicious human hating queen that could telepathically communicate and control others. When the Queen tried to force them to kill themselves she herself was exposed and was unable to escape when a bird spotted and ate her.

- Genius Level Intellect: The surprising engineering knowledge of the one directing the new "termites" is what led to Wonder Woman investigating, as the termites were targeting structures by consuming load bearing and other vital parts in order to cause failure in the most efficient way possible.
