Within a short period of time, twin threats personifying the ultimate representation feminine "perfection" became a sore spot in the side of superheroes on twin worlds. On Earth-One, the "Fiend with Five Faces"nearly conquered that planet before the Justice League turned the tides on the ancient adversaries, as did the Justice Society versus the Four Kings from eons ago. And yet, one among the number of Fiends...Mauri... escaped the League and with her enchanting allure enlisted a private army of minions to attack her superhero adversaries, attempting to eliminate this threat.On Earth-Two, Mauri's cosmic twin Osira similarly awoke from a long slumber and as like that sinister siren Osira used her own allure to enlist armies of males as well. In each case, the Wonder Women ended up battling these lethal ladies and the Amazing Amazons' own teammates now doing their foes' bidding. While the full male compliment of Justice League males were used as Mauri's fighting force, only a handful of the Justice Society males were employed as her minions, with the remaining members imprisoned on the moon. Both women were heartsick to lose the ones they most held dear, for Mauri this was her fellow four kings and for Osira it was her mate from centuries past, Hefnakhti.
Hefnakhti‘s Earth-One counterpart was another ancient adversary of humanity named Thaumar Dhai. He was brought forward in time from his native era by seven sinister supervillains from around the world, who sought Dhai as their leader. These evil enemies of the Global Guardians include Ashtoreth and Moloch of Israel, Dubh Magus of Ireland, Yuki Onna of Japan, Echidne of Greece, El Dorado, Søtrold of the Atlantic Ocean (a seventh pawn before these other six was the Conqueror, whom the Global Guardians previously faced). These individuals were themselves doppelgängers of the Seven of Earth-Two, who mentored Doctor Richard Occult. Like Thaumar Dhai, Hefnakhti had vast powers but was just as dispatched by their powerful heroic teams who opposed them.
Shortly after Mauri and Osira reappeared among humanity after thousands of years of sleep, these femme fatales had ensnared the Greatest Heroes of their new worlds and sent them out to attack the Wonder Women. On Earth-One, Princess Diana had the aid of her allies Black Canary and Supergirl, though neither existed as yet on Earth-Two to aid their Diana. Nevertheless, both Maidens of Might dealt with the terrible triads of Batman, Elongated Man and Aquaman as well as Mister Terrific, the Atom and Starman. As for Mauri, after she was defeated she was imprisoned alongside the other four fiends from of old, while Osira left her new world behind realizing without the now deceased she could no longer find peace as a ruler.
