Gloriana Demeter (Extreme)

History

Glory was the result of an alliance between Lady Demeter of the Amazonians and the demon Lord Silverfall of the Underworld against the human world. Raised in her mother's world, the Isle of Paradise, and trained by the Amazonians, she emerged as their finest warrior. However, she also struggled to control the savagery which was her paternal gift/curse. Not at home in either Amazonia or the Underworld, Glorianna went to the world of man.

During World War II, Glorianna fought for the Allied forces against the Nazis alongside many heroes. On a mission, she teamed up with Roman and SuperPatriot to take down a death camp. When they arrived, Glory was horrified and she understood for the first time what inhumanity was. A man there, Gunnar Weber, was a scientist who was being threatened into helping "Nazi Frankenstein" Franz Bauer's experiments for the life of Weber's child. Even after freeing the camp, Bauer's usefulness spared him from being brought to trial.[1] Glory eventually joined Diehard and SuperPatriot's team, the Allies. Glory had a slight crush on Superpatriot.[2] In 1943, the top brass asked the Allies to recruit Supreme's help in liberating the town of L'Fontaine, France. Supreme responded by destroying a Nazi plane and dropping its bombs on the town, killing hundreds of innocent men, women and children. When Glory became outraged at this, Supreme kissed her to make her shut up and flew away.[3]

Despite this traumatic first meeting, Glory and Supreme eventually started dating. In 1945, Glory was present when Supreme announced to the President that he would be leaving Earth, supposedly wanting to find a higher calling for himself other than stopping human crime. Glory was outraged, and refused to go with him.[4]

In 1993, Glorianna went to The Pentagon to ask that era's superhero team, Youngblood, to rescue Superpatriot, who had been kidnapped by the evil corporation Cyberdata.[2] Diehard took care of the mission[5] and delivered Superpatriot to The Pentagon. Afterwards, he and Glory comforted each other, as the sight of Superpatriot's body, warped into becoming a cyborg, was painful for the two of them.[6]

Later events[]

Glory was part of the second and third incarnations of the superhero team Brigade. Later, Glory encountered the powerful angelic warrior Angela, and the two engaged in a brief physical confrontation because of the actions of the rogue angel Celestine. They met again when Glory was summoned by Lady Demeter to return to the Isle of Paradise, where she teamed up with Angela to take down Celestine. Glory used her birthright of Atmokinesis to free the minds of her sisters, but Celestine escaped in the commotion.[7]

When they found Celestine had fled to the Middle East, Angela and Glory headed there to cut her off.[8][9] In the Middle East, Glory and Angela battled Celestine and her allies Astra and Crystal. They were soon outnumbered as Celestine used a tool called the Elemental Fire to raise the dead to fight for her. As the dead were slowly beaten back by Angela and Glory, Celestine threw a fit, and Glory noticed these actions were unbecoming for an angel, which caused the Maximage to cut off the Elemental Fire power source to Celestine.[10] Regardless, Celestine knocked out Angela and cornered Glory. Maximage, struck Celestine with all her might and revealed that Celestine was being controlled by Malebolgia. Malebolgia returned to hell with Celestine's soul.[11]

Angela and Glory agreed to travel to Hell to retrieve Celestine's soul from Malebolgia. They were initially toyed with, as Malebolgia was all powerful and would soon overthrow his boss. However, Lucifer vanquished him as punishment for his attempt. Lucifer then offered Celestine's soul in exchange for Glory's. While Glory hesitated, Lucifer revealed he didn't actually need her. Having freed Celestine, Glory returned to Washington, D.C.[12]
