-Warrior Woman is a standard Evil German Dominatrix (a REALLY common trope of the mid-'70s- that's where those Ilsa- She-Wolf of the S.S. Torture-Porn movies came from- I am SO not into the whole thing. Watching one of those, I was like "Aw, YEAH- an Uschi Digard nude scene! And then she vomits blood onto her breasts and I'm like "NNNNNNNNNYYYYYYYYYYOPE!!") using a whip to attack the Golden Age Invaders in their World War II-themed stories. She gained powers similar to Master Man following an explosion, and became the "Wonder Woman" Expy of the evil Super-Axis forces (alongside Baron Blood/Batman, Master Man/Superman, Merrano/Aquaman, etc.). She was put into suspended animation and revived in modern times, but not much ever became of her- she gets trotted out more recently than in the past, owing to her status as a semi-powerful, prominent female villain (the positive kind of Positive Discrimination, I think- call me a feminist, but I think there oughta be way more super-powered broads out there!). Though the one on the recent James Robinson Squadron Supreme series was an Alternate Universe version of Power Princess/Zarda- she was from a world where the Squadron Sinister ruled, and went undercover as a "good guy" Zarda, before being revealed and booted out by the ACTUAL good Zarda.
-She's got a weird case of having the Super-Soldier Serum (kinda- she got doused in the stuff when something exploded), but never bothering to make more of it or allow others to utilize its powers. Not that it matters as much in modern times, as many characters can make things that are far more powerful.
-Warrior Woman's stats are HILARIOUSLY-vague and hard to find online- all I have is that she's supposed to be fairly super-strong and good enough to challenge The Invaders back in the day. She normalized into a much-weaker character later, but then the Official Stats changed. So she's +12/+8 and has Power Attack to cover her bases- good enough. Her nasty whip gives her some range in melee, not to mention she loves to use guns.
