Shanna O'Hara (Earth-9997)

The early life and history of Shanna O'Hara mirrored that of her Earth-616 counterpart.

Shanna O'Hara was drawn to the Savage Land, a living jungle located in Antarctica. She was drawn here as the perfect mate for its protector Ka-Zar.^[1] One day, Ka-Zar and Shanna came upon something they believed to be an Atlantean theme park. This was in fact part of a trap set by Mephisto. Many years in the future, Mephisto had warped the mind of X-Man Nightcrawler, making him believe he was the demon Belasco. He engineered events so that "Belasco" would be sent back into the past, where he encountered Shanna, mistaking her for Beatrice from the writings of Dante.^[2] Belasco was eventually defeated by the X-Men.

Following the mutation of humanity, Shanna mutated into a humanoid with leopard characteristics. She and Ka-Zar continued to act as protectors of the Savage Land.

When Captain America and Mar-Vell came to the Savage Land to seek a passage to Limbo to collect Anti-Metal, the two heroes sought out Ka-Zar and Shanna. They brought them to Sentinel City where they appealed to Toad (who now ruled this land) to allow them access to the portal to Limbo. Shanna stayed behind while the others traveled on, due to her fear of confronting Belasco again.^[3]

Shanna and Ka-Zar later welcomed the Wakandans to their land who came to rebuild their nation and escape from the Wendigo which were stalking them.^[4]

The full of extend of Shanna's powers following her mutation are unknown.
