Justice League – Hippolyta

Bios – Hippolyta

Voiced By: Susan Sullivan
First Appearance: "Secret Origins"
Position: Queen of the Amazons / Themiscrya

Bio: Queen of the Amazons of Themyscira, Hippolyta is also
Diana's mother. Amazons are taught to be unconcerned with man's world, but even the queen is not without compassion. There have been a few times, there have been honored men in her eyes, though far and few in between. Unfortunately, laws hold up, even for her daughter, and
Hippolyta was forced to exhile her daughter to go in exile from
Themyscira for bringing men to the island. But, that's not to say she doesn't see Diana, for she appeared at Superman's funeral, complete in ceremonial garbs.

Hippolyta also had a brief "fling" with the ruler of hell himself,
Hades. It's in this relationship she was tricked into waging war–and for this she paid dearly. The entrance to hell was sealed with a key that was spread out across the Earth. The evil sorcerer Felix Faust ended up forcing Diana into putting this key together, in exchange for freeing her Amazon sisters from their stone prisons. Good prevailed in the end and Hades was sealed away again.
