She first appeared not in the comics but on ''[[The Secrets of Isis]]'', a ~~1976~~1975-77 live-action American television show by [[Filmation]] that served as the second half of ''[[Captain Marvel\|The Shazam!]]/Isis Hour''.

After that, Isis didn't reappear until the 2006 miniseries ''[[52]]'', where she was [[Retcon\|reinvented]] as a slave whom [[Black Adam]] rescues, falls in love with, and then receives similar powers to his from an amulet that he obtained. This version of the character has [[Darker and Edgier\|little in common with the original]]; though she starts idealistic, she is soon killed by Adam's enemies as a way to return him to his status as a DC super villain; since then she has been revived, turned into a menace herself, then killed and raised again.▼ [[Adaptation Decay\|As was typical of superhero shows in the 70s, the special effects weren't too impressive]] and there were no supervillains and little violence. The show had a lot in common with [[Wonder Woman]], which was also a TV hit at the time. Isis also [[Crossover\|appeared as a guest star]] in the Shazam! show. ~~She also had her own comic book series that lasted until 1979.~~ ~~Isis also appeared in animated form on Filmation's ''Tarzan and the Super 7'' show in 1980, as part of a segment called ''The Freedom Force''.~~ ▲After that, Isis didn't reappear until the 2006 miniseries [[52]], where she was [[Retcon\|reinvented]] as a slave whom [[Black Adam]] rescues, falls in love with, and then receives similar powers to his from an amulet that he obtained.
