Backstory: Hailing from the island of Cadmea, Inventa was a brilliant though villainous inventive mind. With a love of designing death traps and a talent for concieving of solutions to any problems which she may stumble upon, it seemed as though little could prove a daunting challenge for her.

However captured by Wonder Woman after a bout of villainy and brought to Reformation Island for rehabilitation, Inventa would escew efforts for her to use her genius mind for good and instead stage a plan for escaping the evil warding effects of the Venus Girdles to stage a prison break.

Using resources she acquired from the Amazons during her escape and leading a group of fellow prisoners who followed her lead, Inventa would swear to discover the secrets of the Amazons in an effort to claim their abilities for herself, convinced it would allow her to conquer the world.

Having turned her home island of Cadmea into a death trap with countless traps, there was little that stood in her way.
