History: Princess Pantha was an animal trainer and circus performer for the Gates Circus. She often times found adventure in jungle-type settings. Dale Hunter, an author, was her boyfriend and accompanied Pantha on her exploits. It is not known if Pantha married Dale during or after WWII. Pantha never joined S.M.A.S.H., but was affiliated with them and had been known to team up with Doc [Tom] Strange.

In 1969 an alien menace invaded Earth. Attempting to stop the alien, some of the Earth’s science heroes were killed while others imprisoned in suspended animation. Princess Pantha was one of those imprisoned. She was freed thirty years later by Tom Strange and his counterpart, Tom Strong. Together with the other freed science heroes, Princess Pantha helped stop the alien threat. Pantha, like many other science heroes, found it difficult to adjust in the new time period. She spent time making peace with her husband’s death.


Pantha started dating Tom Strange a few years after the end of the alien threat. She continues her affiliation with S.M.A.S.H., recently helping Tom Strange end another Earth crisis when an unconscious Captain Future caused a widespread time anomaly.

Powers: Pantha has no super-human powers, but is highly athletic. She is skilled in hand-to-hand combat and has mastery of jiu-jitsu.
