Power Princess - Definition and Overview

Princess Zarda (aka Power Princess), based on Wonder Woman

Squadron Supreme

• Power Princess lived on Utopia Isle, a small island in the southern sea, untouch by civilzation. The Utopians believe themselves to be the result of genetic experimentation conducted upon Homo sapiens. While the rest of Homo sapiens was making flint spearheads, the Utopians developed a culture based on peace, fellowship and experience or learning. On their little island community people knew no poverty, injustice, war, crime, or sexual discrimination. After the outside world made the first atom bomb, the Utopians believed way of life was in jeopardy. So building a starship, they left the earth to find a new home among the stars. Princess Zarda chose to remain behind as their sole emissary to the earth, a role she had assumed some years earlier.
• Living in Capitol city Magelland with Howard Sheltion who she met 50-60 years ago, the sole survivor of a sinking ship and the first from the outside world she got to know and grew to love.
