In issue #28, she joins a rebellion of prisoners held on the island, thereby becoming a member of the criminal team Villainy Inc.. Giganta is not seen again in the comics until 1966, in Wonder Woman #163 (Volume 1), in which her origin is revamped to include another member of Wonder Woman’s rogues gallery, Doctor Psycho. This appearance also premiered a short-lived update to her look, giving her waist-length blond hair and an even larger physical stature.
