  • The Silver Swan is a fictional character appearing in DC Comics publications and related media, commonly as a recurring adversary of the superhero Wonder Woman. Capable of flight and possessing the superhuman ability to generate a devastating sonic cry, she first appeared in 1982 in Wonder Woman (vol. 1) #288, written by Roy Thomas and illustrated by Gene Colan. Since then, the character has undergone several updates as comic book continuities have evolved and shifted. Indeed, there have been three different Silver Swans since the character's debut, including Helen Alexandros, the original Silver Swan; Valerie Beaudry, the second Silver Swan, debuting in 1988 in Wonder Woman (vol. 2) #15; and Vanessa Kapatelis, the third and current Silver Swan, debuting in 2001 in Wonder Woman (vol. 2) #171. The backstories of all three characters are inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale The Ugly Duckling: Alexandros, Beaudry and Kapetelis all believe in different ways that they are undesirable, unattractive or unwanted, only to find themselves transformed into extraordinarily beautiful (and vengeful) super-powered women.

  • Silver Swan è un personaggio immaginario che compare nei fumetti DC Comics e relativi media. Una grande avversaria di Wonder Woman, Swan possiede l'abilità super umana di poter volare, così come quella di generare un distruttivo urlo sonico. Comparve per la prima volta in Wonder Woman (vol. 2) n. 288 (1982), scritto da Roy Thomas e illustrato da Gene Colan. Da allora, il personaggio fu sottoposto a numerosi aggiornamenti ogni volta che le continuità si evolsero e cambiarono. Infatti, ci sono state tre diverse Silver Swans fin da debutto del personaggio, incluse Helen Alexandros, la Silver Swan originale; Valerie Beaudry, la seconda Silver Swan, che debuttò in Wonder Woman (vol. 2) n. 15 (1988); e Vanessa Kapatelis, la terza Silver Swan, che debuttò in Wonder Woman (vol. 2) n. 171. Le storie delle origini di tutti e tre personaggi furono ispirate dalla fiaba Il brutto anatroccolo, di Hans Christian Andersen; e similarmente al protagonista di questa fiaba, Alexandros, Beaudry e Kapatelis si credono tutte indesiderabili o non volute, per scoprirsi trasformate in straordinarie bellissime done super potenti (e vendicative).
