Ishtar - Young Justice: Outsiders

The daughter of the demi-god Marduk and the sister of Nabu, Ishtar was a hero to the people of Babylonia after she helped fight off an invasion from Starro the Conqueror in 1,800 BCE. 

Overrun by their own troops, who had all been possessed by the cosmic echinoderm, the trio held the city. 

While they were victorious in killing the conqueror and freeing their people, Nabu was slain. 

After Nabu's funeral, Ishtar and Marduk disposed of Starro's remains, dropping them into the Arctic Ocean. 

Like her father, she would be inducted into the Babylonian pantheon and hailed as a deity. Their partnership would be remembered as "The Light" who helped guide her people in their darkest hour. Long after her death, Marduk, now going by the name Vandal Savage would use "The Light" as the name of his criminal syndicate.
