Winged Victory One of the most controversial heroes of Astro City, Winged Victory is also one of its most powerful and well known superhero citizens. She is dedicated to championing women's rights, and prioritizes her missions to helping women first. She sponsors several shelters and schools dedicated to helping women abused or in need of special help. Although she declined invitations in the past so she could concentrate on her own achievements and goals, Winged Victory now is a member of Honor Guard. History Mr. Smartie Notes: Here's a nice outline of WV's battles. Be nice to broaden the scope of this material in a manner similar to Astra Furst or Samaritan. Self-described as weak in her past, Winged Victory was transformed into a powerful champion of women's rights. 1995 October/November: With Samaritan fought the Iron Horde and possibly Jack-in-the-Box as well. It's probable other heroes were there as well. Early/Mid November: Broke up an armored carjacking involving the Byoosik's Bumblers 1996 September: Alongside other heroes helped defend Astro City against Thunderhead. 1997 Late July: Stops a bombing attempt at Gaia Women's Clinic. August 4: Helps repel the Enelsian Invasion and defends Astro City 1998 November: Fought with Strangematter over the Outcault Bridge and later helped bring in the Conquistador. Powers Capable of flight, super-strength Equipment A special amulet allows her to change from her private identity to Winged Victory. Observations Self-described as weak in her past, Winged Victory was transformed into a powerful champion of women's rights. She has dated Samaritan, and there are more than just gossipy rumors of a serious romantic relationship. Winged Victory is modeled after the Greek goddess Nike and the famous Hellenistic sculpture the Winged Victory of Samothrace.
