===Supreme Power===

This Zarda debuted in ''[[Supreme Power]]'' #2. Apparently a [[Greek goddess]] who slept in a [[mausoleum]] for millennia, at one point she wakes up and finds the injured [[Hyperion (Supreme Power)|Hyperion]], healing him. She alludes to having similar origins to Hyperion (both are aliens) and a mission to colonize and conquer the planet, but she is quite erratic, confusing her memories with [[allegory]].<ref>[[J.

After separating, Zarda goes on a rampage, disregarding human life and private property.<ref>J. Michael Straczynski (w), Gary Frank (p), Jonathan Siba] (i). ''Supreme Power'' #12 Marvel Comics</ref> She attempted to remove [[Doctor Spectrum]]'s power prism but the crystal's intellect contacted her. It informed her that she was "broken" in some way (apparently referring to her seeming insanity) and that it could not fix her despite her request to do so. She then was attacked by [[Amphibian (comics)|Amphibian]] in retaliation for harming Spectrum. Doc Spectrum subsequently has no memory of the exchange, revealing further that his prism has the ability to control him when it wants to.<ref>J.

After that she made herself known to the [[federal government of the United States]], as Claire Debussy (it is implied that Zarda murdered the real Claire Debussy and assumed her identity, as a scorch mark in the shape of a young human female is seen on a wall overlooking a pile of ash in her apartment.) But running her background down is hard. She said that her codename is Zarda, but at her power level the government did not push it. Later a liaison officer asks her to fill in some identification and non-disclosure forms, but Zarda lies to the officer, saying she can not remember details due to an "accident". After General Richard Alexander asks why she calls herself Zarda, thinking it to be an old nickname, he informs her that [[focus groups]] came up with ''Power Princess''. After he asked her what she thought about the name, she said ''Princess of Power'' would be better, but the General said that it was already copyrighted (referring to ''[[She-Ra: Princess of Power]]'', a cartoon related to ''[[He-Man and the Masters of the Universe]]'').{{Volume needed|c=y|date=March 2012}}

An African general named John M'Butu, a fast-rising tribal leader gifted with a powerful psychic suggestion ability and calling himself the Voice, is leading a genocidal campaign in the Salawe region of Uganda. The US government identifies him as a superhuman after he survives an assassination attempt. The team is sent to the region to assassinate him, but early in the fight, Hyperion, Doctor Spectrum and Amphibian are affected by M'Butu's power to control anyone who hears his voice. M'Butu commands the trio to hunt down their comrades. Zarda immediately notices that there is another voice in Hyperion's head and not the One True Voice. Zarda manages to free Doctor Spectrum by calling to the voice within the Power Prism, which takes control of Spectrum, and frees Hyperion.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=March 2012}}

Later the Squadron are then ordered to take down insurgents in Ilam Province in Iran, an operation called "Long Walk". Zarda goes on a killing rampage. After [[Whizzer (comics)|Stanley Stewart]] sees her killing three unarmed soldiers, calling them harmless, Zarda says "Harmless, yes, for that minute. Now they are harmless tomorrow". After seeing [[Inertia (Marvel Comics)|Inertia]] help a little girl find and kill four men of her tribe who stoned her mother and older sisters to death after they were raped by insurgents, Zarda said Inertia is now like her.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=March 2012}}

Hyperion gives a press conference in Los Angeles of the "Long Walk" mission, during which he is confronted by [[Redstone (comics)|Redstone]]. During their fight, Zarda intervenes, beating Redstone badly, but stops short of killing him when Hyperion has her fly Redstone's nuclear warhead into the stratosphere to prevent it from detonating in Los Angeles. She even survives the direct nuclear blast, something Hyperion obviously would not survive so easily.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=March 2012}}

The Squadron Supreme invade the [[Ultimate Marvel|Ultimate Universe]] after their world is devastated by a threat that originated there.<ref>''Ultimate Power'' #2. Marvel Comics</ref> At the resolution of this conflict, Zarda decides to remain in the Ultimate universe to keep an eye on things.<ref>''Ultimate Power'' #9. Marvel Comics</ref>

Later she fights and easily beats the Ultimate Universe's equivalent of the Wrecking Crew as well as the [[Ultimate Hulk|Hulk]]. After the short battle with the Hulk, she and the Hulk have sex. She also contemplates how the local heroes keep her from simply killing those who annoy her. She recalls how she often goes naked in her homeworld, not seeing a need to cover up her own beauty.<ref>[[Jeph Loeb]] (w), [[Marko Djurdjevic]] and [[Ed McGuinness]] (a). ''Ultimate Hulk Annual''. Marvel Comics</ref> Zarda remains with the Ultimates during the ''Ultimatum'' event, assisting Reed Richards with retrieving Nick Fury from her own universe.<ref>''Ultimatum'' #4</ref> When Loki returns to get revenge on the Ultimates, Zarda is hypnotized along with the other female members of the Ultimates into attacking her teammates by Amora the Enchantress.<ref>''New Ultimates'' #2</ref> When Amora is killed, Zarda is freed, and returns to her own universe.<ref>''New Ultimates'' #5</ref>

Zarda, along with the rest of her universe's squadron, is killed by the forces of the Cabal during an Incursion.<ref>''New Avengers'' vol 3 #25</ref>

During the ''[[Secret Wars (2015 comic book)|Secret Wars]]'' storyline, Zarda is shown to live in the Supremia Province in Battleworld. She is later killed during a battle with [[Squadron Sinister]] of Utopolis during an invasion of Supremia.<ref>''Squadron Sinister'' #1</ref>
