Artemis is a fictional character appearing in DC Comics, primarily associated with Wonder Woman. She originates from a separate tribe of Amazons, the Bana-Mighdall, who hail from Egypt rather than Themyscira, Wonder Woman's homeland.

First appearing in 1994, Artemis was created by William Messner-Loebs and Mike Deodato. She is known for her exceptional combat skills and fierce warrior spirit, often portrayed as more aggressive and ruthless than Wonder Woman.

A key storyline involves Artemis temporarily replacing Wonder Woman as the Amazon's champion. This occurred after Artemis won a contest designed by the goddesses, highlighting her strength and determination. However, she eventually returns the mantle to Diana.

Artemis has been a member of various superhero teams, including the Outlaws, showcasing her ability to work alongside others despite her independent nature. She is often depicted wielding powerful weapons and possessing superhuman strength, speed, and agility.
