A brand-new superhero debuted in her first episode, Secrets of Isis, September 6, 1975. Gorgeous Joanna Cameron appeared as a science teacher (Andrea Thomas), who inherits the power of the Egyptian goddess Isis. She uses those powers to fight evil.
The Lights of Mystery Mountain, the first episode also starring Brian Cutler and Joanna Pang, had Miss Thomas and Isis investigating UFOs in the mountains above Los Angeles.
The Secrets of Isis lasted for just 1 1/2 seasons before being inexplicably cancelled, despite its popularity.
It was the first television series to feature a female superhero as the main character, airing just a few weeks before Wonder Woman starring Lynda Carter in November 1975.
Also, Isis was not a superhero that had appeared in DC Comics, Marvel Comics or any other publication prior to the show.
