Hera

Few figures carry the weight of myth into the DC Universe quite like Hera, the queen of the Olympian gods who made her comics debut in a 1976 Bronze Age Book and Record Set — a wonderfully distinctive entry point into the four-color world. Over nearly five decades, she has graced the pages of Wonder Woman, Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe, and The New Teen Titans, keeping legendary company with Wonder Woman herself, Zeus, Artemis, and Hermes. With a key issue among her appearances and a presence stretching from 1976 all the way to 2023, Hera is a figure of genuine mythological gravitas in the DC cosmos — a goddess whose comics legacy is as enduring as the stories that inspired her.
