Biography
Pre-Crisis
Clea was a female member of the Atlantean people from the nation of Venturia. It along with its neighbour of Aurania were descended from the ancient landmass of Atlantis. At some point, she came to rise to the position of Queen of her nation of Venturia. (Wonder Woman v1 #8)
She then launched an attack on Aurania whilst they were unprepared where they fought fiercely but the defenders were captured with Clea's forces looking to claim its neighbours golds and slaves. Aurania's Queen Eeras managed to escape her prison and fled in order to seek out aid from people on the surface in order to free her people. (Wonder Woman v1 #8)
After freeing herself, Eviless managed to capture the guards and released the other captives on Transformation Island allowing them to take over the prison. Queen Clea of sunken Atlantis was among those that rallied under her where they came to form a group called Villainy Inc. that sought revenge against Wonder Woman. (Wonder Woman v1 #28)
Post-Crisis
Following the Crisis on Infinite Earths, a new version of reality was created with a different history of events.
During World War II, Clea continued her attempts at conquering Aurania and intending to lay claim to Atlantis as well. She decided to trade weaponry with the Nazi's where she alongside her daughter Ptras travelled to a meeting spot with General Zahl. Clea offered a mystical horn tied to the sea god whose music could decipher any language allowing Nazi Germany to decode any message from their enemies. In exchange, the Nazi's offered Clea a u-boat which she intended to use to conquer Aurania but the meeting was interrupted by the arrival of Wonder Woman Hippolyta. Clea managed to get the drop on the hero but was stopped from killing her foe due to the seeming intervention of Miss America. Zahl departed the scene and Clea was betrayed by her own daughter Ptras who knocked her out thus thwarting her mother's plans. (Wonder Woman v2 #184)
