Thousands of years ago, Egyptian Queen Hatchupset was given an amulet by her Royal Wizard. This amulet empowered the queen with the powers of the goddess Isis; to command the elements of sky and earth. Flash forward to present time (1970's that is) young science teacher Andrea Thomas found this lost amulet while on an archaeological dig. She found she was heir to the "Secrets of Isis." By bearing the necklace that had the amulet, and calling out the phrase "OH MIGHTY ISIS," Andrea was transformed into Isis. As Isis, she could "soar as the falcon soars, run with the speed of gazelles, and command all the elements of sky and earth." In order to invoke her powers, she had to recite incantations. Her most famous incantation - "Oh zephyr winds which blow on high, lift me now so I can fly" - assisted her in taking flight. She also had control of animals, fire, water, etc. Her powers were usually used to help teach young people she came in contact with, a moral lesson. Her associates, Rick Mason, Cindy Lee, Dr. Barnes, and later, Rennie Carroll, were oblivious to her dual identity. Isis was seen as the female counterpart to Shazam (Captain Marvel). They had a few crossover episodes to each other's shows.

3. Hehehe, I haven't thought about these shows in years.

SHAZAM!

I used to have a Captain Marvel T-Shirt with the yellow lightning bolt on the red shirt . . .

I was like 5 or 6 years old running around in the back yard with long underwear on, that t-shirt and a towel tied around my neck for a cape :P

4. Oddly enough, I remember Isis pretty well...

...but I can't remember a thing about Shazam.



I wonder why? :evilgrin:

6. She was fierce.

I pretended to be her when no one was looking... when someone was looking... umm... I was Isis' brother, obviously. *giggles*

I loved her get-ready-to-fly pose... back arched, arms straight and pointing behind her, eyes toward the sky.

I also loved how Jamie Sommers (the Bionic Woman) would jump and land on one foot.

7. What about Electra Woman and Dyna Girl?

Not as cool, but...

8. I'm the opposite

I can't see a Winnebago without thinking there's a superhero inside...:rofl:
