Kadesha Banu

History

This ancient woman refers to herself as the high priestess, master methodologist and supreme alchemist of the Bana’s. She is also chief torturer and the Banas’ resident mad scientist. Unlike the queen of the Bana, Kadesha is so familiar with the outside world that she speaks a little English.

As she prepares to vivisection of Wonder Woman, she admits that she invented the “Kiss of the Cobra,” a poison the queen likes to spit on people. Kadesha goes against the queen’s wishes and keeps Diana alive for a while to study her.

She dies when she is accidentally killed by Diana, who was under the influence of the Cobra’s Kiss and could not control her strength.
