Creation Moon girl was published by Max Gaines , who had been the first publisher of Wonder Woman . By 1947, apparently regretting that he had let the amazing amazon go to National Comics , he felt the need to once more produce a myth-inspired superheroine. Major Story Arcs It's a magic moonstone, worn on a choker, that gives Moon Girl "the strength of ten ordinary men and guards her against all harm." Even without her moonstone, she was a superior creature. According to her very romantic origin story, the princess lived in what appeared to be a matriarchy; no men were evident. Her romantic interest was Prince Mengu . The prince thinks, "What a woman! I came a thousand miles to find her, and she shall be my wife!" It was never specified, but the prince was probably Greek. Later in the story, he tells Moon Girl, "I am of the blood of Hercules ." Moon Girl was not as eager for marriage as the prince.
