In the Superman chronicles, the term "Amazons" is used to designate any one of several all-female societies that the Man of Steel has encountered in the course of his career. These include the legendary Amazons of Paradise Island, home of fellow super-heroes Wonder Woman and Wonder Girl (DCCP No. 32, Apr 1981: "The Super-Prisoners of Love"; and others); the warrior women of Amazonia, in the jungles of South America (S No. 59/1, Jul/Aug 1949: Lois Lane-Queen of the Amazons!"); and the inhabitants of Amazon Island, ruled by Queen Elsha (Act No. 235, Dec 1957: "The Super-Prisoner of Amazon Island"). The term is also used to describe the women of Adoria, a "distant planet" in "another solar system" which Superman visits (Act No. 266, Jul 1960: "The Captive of the Amazons") as well as the female Quazars, also known as "the Amazons of space" (SF No. 179: "I Scared Superman to Death").
