Isis is the name of several female characters appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The name is asssociated with the DC Universe's iteration of the ancient Egyptian goddess of the same name and others whom have adopted the name.
The earlier rendition of the character, Andrea Thomas, portrays her as a high school teacher who possesses powers linked to ancient Egyptian mythology. In this iteration, she shares a connection with Captain Marvel/Shazam as both characters draw their powers from divine sources. Andrea's abilities are specifically tied to the Egyptian goddess Isis, who grants her the ability to assume the role of a superhero using her name. In addition to starring as the main character in The Secrets of Isis, a live-action television program starring Joanna Cameron that served as the second half of The Shazam!/Isis Hour, the character also appeared in several late 1970s DC Comics publications.
In more recent DC Comic book publications, the name primarily refers to Adrianna Tomaz (Arabic:أدريانا توماز), a character first introduced in 52 #16 (July 2006). Adrianna, a superhero of Egyptian and Kahndaqi heritage, holds a prominent role as Black Adam's love interest. She is also the older sister of Amon Tomaz, who becomes the protege Osiris under Black Adam's guidance. Initially enslaved by the criminal organization Intergang, Adrianna is offered to Black Adam in an attempt to secure an alliance. However, he frees her and she proves herself as both a capable advisor and earns his affection.
