Cylvia Cyber and Mavis were both malevolent maidens, twisted by their desire for power. However, why Cyber as a brilliant scientist exploited her position of authority to enslave others, Mavis as an aspired strategist was molded into the image of her mistress as one of her slaves. Both ended up becoming recurring adversaries of Wonder Women.
On Earth-One, Doctor Cyber's plans continued to be upended by the intervention of Diana Price, in her depowered adventures. This culminated in her becoming disfigured and further demented, seeking beauty from other women she captured. Even this scheme was thwarted by Prince, resulting in Doctor Cyber building a mechanical exo-suit to combat Diana's now-empowered Wonder Woman alter ego.
On Earth-Two, Mavis was a prized if abused lieutenant in her mistress Paula VonGunther's Nazi women organization. When Paula was reunited with her daughter Gerta and reformed, becoming an honorary Amazonian, it was Mavis who took up the reigns of VonGunther. Undoubtedly, her brief brush with VonGunther's former master Adolph Hitler (as seen in the accompanying picture) moved her further towards fanaticism.
However, Mavis lacked Paula’s genius mind and was less of a threat to her world’s Wonder Woman than was Cyber versus the Amazing Amazon. As an interesting side note, VonGunther’s facial features were softened thanks to Amazonian science, as perhaps were her counterpart VonGunta’s. Had Cyber repented of her evil ways, perhaps she would’ve been offered this same procedure by the Amazons.
