Maxima is a fictional comic book character in DC Comics.
She is known for searching for mates among Earth’s superpowered male population; as a result, Superman becomes her obsession. Morally ambiguous, she occasionally serves both as an adversary for Superman and a superheroine working as a member of the Justice League.
