Medusa, for some reason called Medousa in this storyline, was the chief of the Gorgons and the actual Medusa from the Perseus myth. She was resurrected in the DC universe by her two sisters Euryale and Stheno, who were prisoners on Themyscira. Alive once more, Medusa wastes very little time in attacking the White House (bold) and going after Wonder Woman, turning one of her friends, 8 year-old Martin Garibaldi, to stone. Medousa then challenges Wonder Woman in a duel to the death which takes place in Yankee Stadium for reasons, and broadcast live all over the world, again for reasons. In a true display of badassery, Wonder Woman not only fights most of the duel blindfolded to avoid Medousa's gaze, but, when her blindfold is ripped off, she blinds herself with snake venom, before decapitating the gorgon with a golden axe. Fierce.
