History: Amaunet is a member of the Ogdoad, the first generation
of the Egyptian Gods. She was the sister and wife of Ammon-Ra, monarch
of the Egyptian gods, and divine ancestor of the Theban kings of Egypt,
but when the central of their worship on Earth moved from Thebes to
Heliopolis, Ammon-Ra gave up his rule to Osiris,
the god of the dead. Amaunet also took a role as Maat, a judge of the afterlife,
weighing the purity of mortal souls against a feather to determine their
final fates in the underworld. It is possible because of her role in the
underworld that she managed to escape Seth's
takeover of Celestial Heliopolis, although Seth was overthrown in recent
years with the help of the Asgardian
gods. In recent years, Amaunet
encountered Duke, Scarlet, Blowtorch and Gungho of GIJoe after they
slipped through a portal in a buried pyramid into Duat, the Egyptian
afterlife, but allowed them to returned to Earth after confusing their
enemies, COBRA, as a cult devoted to Seth, the snake-god.
