History: (JLA #66, 67, 70, 72, 74, 75) - <1004 BC> Rama Khan saw a prophecy of a “seven-headed hydra” that would bring about destruction. He found Gamemnae, and proposed to form a league of heroes from around the world to combat the threat, not realizing it was she who sent him the prophecy. She knew the JLA would arrive in their era and try to stop her schemes of conquering Atlantis, and wanted them dead. With the additions of Manitou Raven, Tezumak, Sela, Whaler and the Anointed One the Ancients were formed and went on to become the greatest hero team of their era. They ruled Atlantis after Gamemnae had raised it from the sea. The Ancients sent Tezumak and Manitou Raven thousands of years into the future to kill the JLA because the Ancients believed the heroes to be destroyers. Tezumak lured the JLA into a fight when he kidnapped children to act as sacrifices to power his armor. He held his own against the JLA until Raven joined him, and they temprarily took the heroes out of commission. Green Lantern freed his teammates as Manitou prepared to sacrifice Wonder Woman. With the tide turning against them Manitou and Tezumak returned to Atlantis in the past after Manitou siphoned the magic in the Atlantic Trench where Atlantis once stood to complete the spell. The JLA followed them into the past, and the Ancients confronted them and slew them. Manitou Raven had realized that Gamemnae was evil, not the JLA, and cast a spell to preserve them. Gamemnae confronted him, revealing that she was going to kill the Ancients so they couldn’t oppose her bid for Atlantis to conquer the world. She’d absorbed Rama Khan into her body and was about to do the same to Manitou when he fled, so she turned her attention to her other teammates. She killed Tezumak and the Anointed One, and absorbed the rest into her body. Manitou cast a containment spell that sealed off Atlantis from the rest of the world, so that Gamemnae could not conquer it. Another JLA traveled to the past where they freed Aquaman, who merged with the ocean, and sank Gamemnae’s Atlantis, and the JLA defeated Gamemnae.
