7) HIPPOLYTA
Also appearing in ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ is Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, whose portion of the play involves an engagement to the hero, Theseus. In the Marvel Universe, where the Olympian gawds are explicitly real, Hippolyta was killed in battle, sent to the afterlife, then chosen by Hela of the Norse Gods to serve as her Warrior Woman as part of Valkyrie’s Fearless Defenders team. The cancellation of that book left her in limbo, which is pretty much the same as a dream, where her Shakespearian counterpart’s play ended.
OR WAS IT???
