#71 - Wonder Woman
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/1/9/1/AAOJ0pAADcgX.png
From one Fury to another.

She is the ambassador to Mans World, an Amazonian Princess, a former goddess. She is the founder of a network of embassies designed to protect the downtrodden and teach women self-sufficiency. She is a founding member of the Justice League, a leader of superheroes, and one of the most influential women in modern history. She is Diana, Wonder Woman. But after her public murder of Maxwell Lord, Diana began the worst week in her life, losing the support of mankind, losing her homeland, and, in the darkest moment of self-doubt, finding herself captured and turned into the most singularly powerful Prime Fury on Earth.

The story of Wonder Woman is quite a Greek tragedy in this campaign, the origin of Darkseid's animosity for the princess stemming from back in the Imperiex War, where Apokolips and Earth united against an enemy that threatened both of their existences. Let me set the stage. The final moments of the war with Imperiex. Her mother dead, her people nearly completely destroyed. His planet, ruins. Thanks to the betrayal of Brainiac and the pure entropic power of Imperiex, it is up to Diana of Themyscira and Darkseid to channel their combined energies - and those of their mostly depleted allies - in an effort to stave off Imperiex. So, with the magic of Tempest, with the alliance at their back of Earths heroes, Diana and Darkseid join life forces for a moment. A single moment that will change the course of their lives forever. The story of Imperiex reaches its conclusion; Earth is saved, as is Apokolips. But Diana does not depart without a warning. During the merger of their life essences, Diana reached out to Raven, the dark sorceress of the Titans, asking for one boon - that a piece of herself would remain inside of Darkseid, so that he may experience compassion, even if it be only a single sliver of it. Diana left Apokolips, telling Darkseid of her actions, letting him know that her mothers death would not see the end of her grand mission - that Mans World would be civilized. And to Diana, that meant Darkseid would know love. Satisfied, she left for Earth, and Apokolips returned to its home sector. Few could have foreseen that this act of generosity would be the one, singular moment in which all future acts would root themselves. Truth, and its consequences, would never be the same.

For you see, Darkseid vowed to make an example of Wonder Woman, for a soul such as hers, a passion for life and an overpowering sense of love for not only her fellow man but for a dream of a companion in her long-lived existence, was like an ichor, poisoning his very blood. And Darkseid vowed vengeance. So when the party finally came across Diana, they met a Prime Fury, a woman who had been carefully brought down by Darkseid, waiting for the moment, the place to find her at her most vulnerable and steal away her defiant will to live and lead, forcing her to submit.

Diana roams the streets of Central City in a quartet of powerful Furies - Catwoman, Giganta and Batwoman. Pray you never cross her path. The Amazon thirsts for prey.

#70 is a Round 10 pick - high relative value for this level a spot!
