Mavis is a fictional character who first appeared in the DC Comics' universe in the Wonder Woman series as a Nazi provocateur.
[edit] Fictional character biography
A slave of Baroness Paula Von Gunther, she seized control of Paula's Nazi spy operation after Von Gunther's reformation. Cunning, deadly, and determined to take revenge on both Paula and Wonder Woman, she stole the invisible plane and used it for aerial sabotage, kidnapped Paula's daughter Gerta, and strapped Wonder Woman to a bomb before she was sent to Reformation Island (Wonder Woman #4).
Discovering a dagger that emits metal-eating acid from its tip, Mavis broke her bonds and escaped Reform Island. Asserting control over Axis spy operations in the U.S., she established a covert headquarters in a Maine logging company. Wonder Woman eventually discovered Mavis, but Mavis turned the tables and trapped Wonder Woman in her own magic lasso. Her control over Wonder Woman was disrupted when she miscalculated and removed Wonder Woman's bracelets, triggering a berserker rage in the Amazon that was ended only when Paula recaptured Wonder Woman with the magic lasso and reforged her bracelets (Sensation #19).
