  • Giganta was originally a young woman who stole the medicine pouch Apache Chief had used to give himself the power to increase his physical size and gained powers identical to his. She became a member of the Legion of Doom and usually pitted herself against Apache Chief.
  • After Aphrodite removed her blessing from Themyscira, Princess Diana and her guards were sent to an unnamed American city for safety. Many of the Amazons gave their lives to protect Diana. One of the Morrigan, Bellona, bathed three female bodies in the waters of the Akheron ("pain"), Kokytos ("lamentation"), and Phlegethon ("fire") rivers to purge their previous lives, then in the waters of the other two rivers of Hades, Lethe ("forgetfulness") and Styx ("hate") to refill them. She called forth her reborn Hysmina: Tisiphone ("vengeance"), Magera ("jealousy"), and Alecto ("the implacable"). Alongside new versions of Cheetah and Artemis (both of whom were also created from dead Amazons), the new Giganta was tasked with hunting down and killing Wonder Woman.
  • Giganta is an elephant who makes his first and only appearance in The Ghost Elephant.
  • Giganta is a size-shifting supervillain from DC comics who is a frequent enemy of Wonder Woman as well as the Justice League - originally little more than an ape she was artificially evolved by Gorilla Grodd into a human female (both in appearance and mannerism): she in turn became very devoted to him and also gained the ability to grow to gigantic heights at will.
  • Giganta was introduced as a foe of the Golden Age Wonder Woman, first appearing in Wonder Woman #9 (volume 1). In the story, a villainous scientist named Professor Zool artificially evolves an ape named Giganta into a malicious red-haired strongwoman. Giganta is ultimately subdued and captured by Wonder Woman and taken to Transformation Island for rehabilitation. In issue #28, she joins a rebellion of prisoners held on the island, thereby becoming a member of the criminal team Villainy Inc.
