Joanna Cameron - Isis

70's publicity photo of Joanna Cameron as super-heroine Isis.

 

> 'The superhero character (Isis) is modeled closely after the main character of The Secrets of Isis, a live-action American Saturday morning television program starring Joanna Cameron that served as the second half of The Shazam!/Isis Hour. The television character appeared in several late 1970s DC Comics publications... The Secrets of Isis starred Joanna Cameron as Andrea Thomas, a high school science teacher who gains the ability to call upon the powers of the goddess Isis after finding an Egyptian amulet during an archeological dig in Egypt, as revealed during the show's opening title sequence. Fifteen episodes of The Secrets of Isis were produced for The Shazam! Isis Hour, and the character also appeared in three episodes of the Shazam! portion of the show.

Powers and abilities

Isis demonstrated numerous powers that manifested when the need arose. These included flight, super speed, super strength (to a level comparable to Superman and Wonder Woman), telekinesis (the ability to move and levitate objects), geokinesis (the ability to control elements such as fire, earth, wind, and water), the ability to change the molecules of inanimate objects to allow people to pass through them, the ability to act as a human lightning rod, remote viewing, and (at her power's maximum) the ability to stop and reverse time.' > Isis, DC Comics - wikiwand
