Biography[]
Background[]
Before assuming the title of War Woman II, Connie was the romantic partner of the original War Woman, a founding member of the Guardians of the Globe. After Omni-Man murdered the original team, Connie was devastated by her partner's death.
Transformation into War Woman II[]
Grieving and enraged, Connie adopted the War Woman identity and began her own crusade. However, rather than following her partner’s heroic path, she turned toward vengeance. Connie conquered Amazonia and declared herself its ruler, vowing to punish the "world of men" whom she blamed for the loss of her lover.
She joined the supervillain group known as The Order and took part in several violent operations, including an attack that resulted in the destruction of Paris. During this time, she also killed a member of the Guardians of the Globe named Cast Iron.
