Medusa is a monster in Greek mythology. She is a Gorgon with hair made of snakes, and a gaze that turns men to stone. This has made her an adversary to Wonder Woman. In the original legend, Medusa is beheaded by Perseus.

There have been several groups and figures inspired by the legend of Medusa. Myrra Rhodes uses the codename Medusa as a member of the Creature Commandos. Batwoman fights an evil organization known as Medusa. Talia al Ghul used Medusa to model aspects of her organization Leviathan.

Medusa was adapted by Kurt Schaffenberger, first appearing in Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane #52 (1964).
