[edit] Fictional character biography
Artemis journeyed to Earth with Hermes and Dionysus to capture the Avengers, whom Zeus blamed for injuries that Hercules had suffered at the hands of the Masters of Evil. The three gods fought the Avengers, and Artemis shot Captain Marvel with an arrow that passed through her intangible state, and shocked her back into human form.[1] She also captured the Wasp and presented her to Zeus. She remained loyal to Zeus when a number of other gods rebelled against him to support the Avengers.[2] She fought Captain Marvel again, but this time the human defeated her.[3]
