Diva (comics)

Diva (Alessandra Fermi) is a fictional character appearing in the comic books published by Wildstorm. She is a member of StormWatch.

Fictional character biography

Daughter of a famous Italian opera singer, Alessandra was gifted with the same talent as her mother. When she passed her first audition with a great opera tenor, the stress made her power manifest and she broke all the glass in the room, sending window debris at the face of the musician making him blind.

She joined StormWatch as a member of StormWatch One under the field command of Battalion. During her tour of duty, she showed the most dedication to follow UN's directives and procedures. That granted her the position of field commander after Battalion's apparent death (to the displeasure of Cannon). Although she and Cannon were involved in a relationship, he turned his back on her out of jealousy and left the team.

She did her leader's job by the book, but was obviously lacking Battalion's charisma and authority.

She was the first fatality of the Despot crisis following the liberation of the WarGuard after the "WildStorm Rising" episode. However, in the wake of the "Worldstorm" event and continuity changes, she was seen alive as a member of Stormwatch Prime in Stormwatch: Post Human Division #1. Worldstorm #2, however, has revealed that the current Diva is in fact the sister of the original.

History

Beginnings: The Moolah Days

In 1983, the Fabulous Moolah, who was the NWA World Women's Champion and legal owner of the title, joined the WWF and sold them the rights to the title after they disaffiliated from the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) and recognized her as the first WWF Women's Champion. Additionally, the WWF also recognized Moolah as having been champion ever since first winning the title from Judy Grable in 1956 and disregarded other reigns or title losses that occurred during the title's existence in the NWA. Thus, The Fabulous Moolah's reign was considered to have lasted 27 years by the promotion. WWF also introduced the WWF Women's Tag Team Championship with Velvet McIntyre and Princess Victoria recognized as the first champions after also defecting from the NWA.
