The only daughter of a wealthy diamond miner, Shanna grew up in the Zaire jungles. At age six, Shanna witnessed her father’s accidental fatal shooting of her mother, starting a lifelong loathing of firearms. Traumatized, she moved to America to live with relatives, studying to become a veterinarian; after graduation she worked for the New York Central Park Zoo. The death of a leopard she had raised led Shanna to quit, taking its cubs, Ina and Biri, to raise them in the African Dahomey Reserve, which she protected from poachers and others as “Shanna the She-Devil”. When her father was kidnapped by the Mandrill, Shanna searched for him, but was kidnapped by the wizard Malgato and taken to the Savage Land. She was assisted against Malgato by Ka-Zar, enabling her to resume her search. In Africa Shanna learned that the Mandrill had killed her father; she journeyed to America, aiding Daredevil and the Black Widow in thwarting the Mandrill’s attempted U.S. takeover. After returning to Africa, her panthers were slain by the Cult of Kali priest Raga-Shah; she tracked and eventually fed Raga-Shah to her python Ananta. - marvel.com
