This lens is a tribute to Isis, the live-action TV superhero from the '70s.
Three reasons to love Isis
She was a great role model for kids.
I remember I was Isis for Halloween when I was like, 6 or something. My mom made my costume, as you couldn't just run to the store and pick up an Isis costume, even then.
She could fricken fly, dude.
No cape required.
She was a hottie.
I was a little GIRL and I knew that!

Isis at a Glance

- Isis TV show summary
- housands of years ago, Egyptian Queen Hatchupset was given an amulet by her Royal Wizard. This amulet empowered the queen with the powers of the goddess Isis; to command the elements of sky and earth. Flash forward to present time (1970's that is) young science teacher Andrea Thomas found this lost amulet while on an archaeological dig. She found she was heir to the "Secrets of Isis."
- Isis TV show
- By bearing the necklace that had the amulet, and calling out the phrase "OH MIGHTY ISIS," Andrea was transformed into Isis. As Isis, she could "soar as the falcon soars, run with the speed of gazelles, and command all the elements of sky and earth." In order to invoke her powers, she had to recite incantations.
- Secrets of Isis
- Her most famous incantation - "Oh zephyr winds which blow on high, lift me now so I can fly" - assisted her in taking flight. She also had control of animals, fire, water, etc. Her powers were usually used to help teach young people she came in contact with, a moral lesson. Her associates, Rick Mason, Cindy Lee, Dr. Barnes, and later, Rennie Carroll, were oblivious to her dual identity. Isis was seen as the female counterpart to Shazam (Captain Marvel). They had a few crossover episodes to each other's shows.

- I thought this was a great show when I was 10. Looking back, it was extra corny, very campy just like the 60's Batman show. Even though it wasn't one of theirs, DC Comics even had an 8 issues series which took it on a different direction from the show, much darker.
I think the show is on DVD.

- I had the Isis doll! Loved that thing. Her boots were a real pain to put back on, though. She was stolen from my locker in the 3rd grade. :(
