Commander Columbia

Commander Columbia is a popular superhero (or as her creator has called her, an 'American Jupiter') originating from the United Republics. Created by artist and writer Samantha Waver, she first premiered in the eponymous animated film Commander Columbia in 1939, as part of a double-bill with the film Mission To China the same year. The film (and it's numerous sequels) were produced by the animation collective Ruby Orchestra under Waver's direction. The character and her world, named the 'Rubyverse' or 'Waver-verse' by fans, have since spawned numerous pieces of media including comic books, toys, spin-off films and television series, and popular video games.
