Eviless (also called Saturna) is a fictional character appearing in DC Comics publications and related media, commonly as a recurring adversary of the superhero Wonder Woman.[1] A slave driver from the planet Saturn, she had several Golden Age clashes with Wonder Woman before founding the first incarnation of Villainy Inc. alongside the Cheetah, Doctor Poison, Giganta, and Queen Clea.
Fictional character biography
Eviless is originally depicted as a slave driver from a subatomic world on Saturn.[2][3][4] Following the DC Rebirth relaunch, Eviless is renamed Saturna and is the leader of the Crimson Men cult. She possesses necromantic abilities, such as forming black wings and controlling the dead.[5]
Powers and abilities
Eviless does not have any superpowers, but skillfully uses a whip to control her subjects. At times, she has appeared to put herself into a deathlike trance at will by stopping her heart.
Post-Rebirth, Saturna has an array of magical necrotic abilities.
