Marvel Comics Presents I#162/3) - Drawn to Salomé's theater-base, Diabolique encountered Salomé and asked to be her apprentice. Intrigued, Salomé asked why she should take her on: If her powers were weak, then she was unworthy; but if they were great (which she worried that they were), she was a potential threat to be destroyed.

    After Diabolique revealed her Playmate, an mass of enslaved/transformed mortals that served as Diabolique's power battery, Salomé enjoyed their agony and considered that Diabolique may be of use if she passed her test.

Marvel Comics Presents I#163/3) - As Vengeance battled the Playmate (unwilling to harm the innocent beings that made it up), Salomé mocked that he had no chance of success. Nonetheless, she was impressed as Diabolique dominated Vengeance, considering that she must keep this powerful girl close, to use as she saw fit or to destroy if she became a threat.

    However, after a fragment of Playmate begged for its suffering to end, Vengeance destroyed Playmate, leaving Diabolique powerless. However, when the childlike Diabolique burst into tears over the loss of her "friend," Vengeance found himself unable to make himself harm her.

    When the weakened Vengeance chose not to challenge Salomé, she teleported him away, noting she was pleased not to have to destroy one who brought about so much pain and suffering for her to feed on.

    Salomé then teleported Diaboloque away, telling her to build a new Playmate power battery, at which point they could reconsider her apprenticeship.

 (Blade: Vampire Hunter I#4) - Using leper's bones and rune stones, Salomé divined the destiny of others whose destinies were intertwined with hers, notably Blade.

(Blade: Vampire Hunter I#5) - As Blade fought off Varnae (who had just possessed the form of Night Terror (Carl Blake), Salomé watched remotely. Noting that while he was unaware of the true nature of Dracula's resurrection, she was pleased nonetheless to be able to feed on suffering, and soon there would be suffering aplenty.

(Doctor Strange: Sorcerer Supreme#71 - BTS) - Within his Forge Canal, the Rive Sequence, one of the aetheric snares Dr. Strange had set for Salomé, went off prematurely and targeted Dr. Strange.

(Doctor Strange: Sorcerer Supreme#71 (fb) - BTS) - The Vishanti did not answer Salomé's repeated calls, and Salomé's bitter self-pity drained all the life from her secluded Nimrud base, and her forsaken armies disbanded.

(Doctor Strange: Sorcerer Supreme#72 - BTS) - The Vishanti's first thought was to destroy Salomé.

(Doctor Strange: Sorcerer Supreme#73) - Sensing movement, she found and donned the Cloak of Levitation, which wrapped around and began to crush her, while teeth and talons extruded from the cloth, tearing into her. Salomé furiously noted Strange could only wound her via deceit, after which a pre-arranged illusion of Dr. Strange mocked her both for falling for his trap and for coveting a levitating cloak when she can fly.

    Breaking free, Salomé searched the sanctum, which lacked clear measure of simple touchstones such as "up" or down, and she worried that Strange was absent; she was unaware that Dr. Strange's prisoner/ward Sister Nil was watching her. As Salomé resolved to destroy his entire base, Nil considered that while she could slay Salomé, Dr. Strange needed her alive to purge himself of her contamination. Nil allowed Salomé to see her, leading Salomé to chase her in hopes of forcing Dr. Strange's location from her, but Nil led Salomé through the Cardinal Sieve, where all measures of dimensionality are compressed by one, and Salomé suffered temporary insanity. Salomé next found herself in Fiumine, a conduit of elemental magick bounded by streams of rushing water; she suspected Nil was hiding in an aged trove of earth magick, but it turned out to be an enigma box, which folded into itself and disappeared, after which a statue of the demon Baphomet appeared and taunted Salomé with riddles.

(Doctor Strange: Sorcerer Supreme#74) - Annoyed with the taunts of "Baphomet," Salomé danced a shattering way of elemental furey (fired a blast) that shattered the animated statue. Nonetheless, she felt a rising dread as Dr. Strange's fortress was so vast and perplexing, she worried she might exhaust the power she had borrowed from the Vishanti before locating her quarry. After another programmed manifestation/image of Dr. Strange mocked her tantrum, the fragments of the Baphomet statue attacked Salomé. As she destroyed the fragments, she exited into another room, dark and slimy, representing his work on "experimental magick defenses of a more organic nature...modeled after the doctor's digestive tract," which moved her along with peristaltic waves. Sister Nil then taunted Salomé, leading her to pursue and reckless crash into on acidic, tendril-covered wall.

    Correctly suspecting the harsh nature of this defense indicated a proximity to his hidden base, Salomé tore through the wall and found herself within Dr. Strange's Forge Canal. She recognized its crystal cathedral as a collector of Earth's geomagickal power, and she considered that she now held her enemy's power source.

(Doctor Strange: Sorcerer Supreme#74 - BTS) - Dr. Strange sensed that Salomé was trapped in his sanctum but also with his power source; he finally destroyed the Vincent Stevens incarnation.

(Doctor Strange: Sorcerer Supreme#75 (fb) - BTS) - Salomé conceived of the bending of the Vishanti's spell, intended to banish Dr. Strange to a side dimension, to create an interdimensional circuit that

SECRET WARS III HAPPENED

(X-Men: Spider-Man#1 (fb) - BTS) - Salomé returned from the Dark Dimension in a diminished state. She felt that a new threat was rising, but couldn't see who it was.

(X-Men: Unforgiven#1 (fb) - BTS) - Salomé became a client of the Curator, who got rid of a few corpses for her. She knew she was being hunted by vampires (the Forgiven) and warned him that the world of the supernatural was about to be shaken up by a new arrival because she saw it in the tattooed flesh of the tortured.

(Spider-Man: Unforgiven#1 (fb) - BTS) - Posing as a human Salomé danced at a strip club to absorb enough energy from the clients to charge up her green flame.

(Spider-Man: Unforgiven#1) - Salomé made her way to Zawadi's home in New York City to take her eyes from her, but while entering the place from the roof she was observed by Spider-Man, who went after her because she looked monstrous and was obviously a threat to whoever lived inside. Salomé attacked Spider-Man with her newly charged flames after he met Zawadi. She took Spider-Man down, but Inka of the Forgiven entered her nostrils as mist to stop her from attacking Spider-Man any further. The Forgiven, who had been after her for some time, were there to protect Salomé's prey and take her down. They pinned Salomé to the ground and Raizo Kodo tried to learn from Salomé why she had returned to Earth, but she wouldn't tell him and knew that he wouldn't use his psychic powers on her. Spider-Man, who had fallen under the influence of Salomé, attacked the Forgiven, but he regained control only to get blasted by another green fire blast from Salomé. Seconds later she was stabbed through the back with a spear with a Nephilim bone tip bathed in Hellfire Helix radiation by the elderly Zawadi. Zawadi dropped to the ground and was burned alive in green fire after Zawadi drew a symbol around her in chalk while Salomé was still writhing in pain.

    "In a time before Atlantis" is somewhat nebulous, but...

• Per the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z#1: Atlantis entry: "Well over 20,000 years ago, as decline set upon the seven great empires forged in the aftermath of humanity’s freedom from the reign of the Serpent-Men, the Harpies, and other demonic Elderspawn races, the island continent of Atlantis was a nation of wilderness in the Atlantic Ocean, not so much ruled as barely tamed by barbarian tribes, their homes built upon the ruins of civilizations unidentified and forgotten. By 19,500 BC, Atlanteans had spread to neighboring continents as mercenary warriors involved in the political and religious feuds of greater powers; as of five centuries later, Atlantis became the seat of a minor empire based on trade and craft, whose fortunes waxed and waned over another few centuries. Circa 18,500 BC, an Atlantis-born barbarian, Kull (aka the Tiger King), earned a sea-spanning reputation as an adventurer and warrior, rising to prominence in the nation of Valusia as one of the era’s greatest kings.
  
  Over the next few centuries, Atlantis, now shared by humans, centaurs, and other beings, achieved a level of technology unequaled by humanity before or since, using regulated magma-pits as a near-infinite energy source. Legend says that Atlantis’ ten provinces were overseen by ten gods, all offspring of the mother-goddess Cleito herself, from the sacred City of the Golden Gate, and that the land prospered from the presence of primeval quasi-deities called autochthons. Indeed, Atlantean sorcery reached the same heights as its sciences, spawning spells, talismans and master magicians unrivaled to this day.
  
• Of course, ancient Atlantis ended with the Great Cataclysm of 18,000 BC.
• The story of C'Thunda would place it back as far as 28, 000 B.C., which is a at least few thousand years before other sources reference it. Perhaps there was a rise and fall of Atlantis, with an earlier society?
      It says the ISLAND of Atlantis, not the KINGDOM of Atlantis. The land mass would've existed long before even the first city called Atlantis and could easily have been inhabited by civilizations long since forgotten, and any civilization that existed on the island called Atlantis might be referred to as "Atlantis" by later generations (much like the American continents are called, well, the American continents in history prior to the development of that name). There have been plenty of human civilizations that lived and died in much shorter timespans than 10,000 years, and for all we know C'Thunda was an Eternal, a Deviant, a Spirit of Vengeance, a Blood, or something else entirely.
  --Ronald Byrd
• At any rate, a time before Atlantis is at least 20,000 BC, if not prior to 28,000 BC.
• The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe entry notes the defeat of Zarathos at the hands of the blood to be 25,000 years ago, which is 23,000 BC.
  
• I'm waiting for Jason Aaron to have his Atlantis 1 million BC stories...or maybe 65 million BC stories. I have consistently really enjoyed Jason Aaron's stories, but he's really been in a strange place with his modern human appearance "humans" from 1 million BC let alone 64 million BC as his stories have stated. Cray-cray.

How old is Salomé?

• We know the Blood opposed Zarathos as far back as "a time before Atlantis" (see above)
  
• We don't know when the Fallen formed (sometime during the succeeding millennia)
  
• We don't know when Salomé became part of the Fallen.
• I had thought that Salomé was pre-Cataclysmic (pre-18,000 BC, and possibly millennia older), but I think I had assumed that because she was one of the Fallen, who had diverged from the Blood, who had opposed Zarathos before the time of Atlantis (see above).
• And based on that assumption, I thought she was likely the ancestor and/or namesake of the Salomé of Khauran of the Hyborian era, as well as her ancestors (and possible descendants).
  
• Nonetheless, while we know she was Sorcerer(ess) Supreme from 1300 to 1100 BC, we don't know that she was born around that time and not long before.
• Reviewing all of this, over and over again, I am inclined to believe Salomé was indeed around and part of the Blood who defeated Zarathos circa 23,000 BC. I think that is implied, just not outright stated.
• I further suspect Salomé may have adopted the identity of Semiramis (either using it as an alias or perhaps murdering and replacing the real Semiramis at some point).
• Per personal communication, Marvel Tarot and Magic Appendix writer David Sexton, who provided the back story on Salomé becoming Sorceress Supreme, supports that Salomé was pre-Cataclysmic and the ancestor of the Hyborian line of sorceresses. He further notes that she assumed the role of Semiramis some time after the rest of the Fallen were banished.
• David Sexton further noted that Salomé may have been stripped of the title of Sorcerer Supreme in 1100 BC for other reasons, but wasn't banished from Earth until around 800 BC, which would fit with her historical role in Assyria.
  

• It is not stated definitively.
• It was after the Blood defeated Zarathos, which was around 23,000 BC.
  
• It could have been pre-Cataclysmic (pre-18,000 BC)
• It could have been around the time of Salomé's banishment at the end of her role as Sorcerer Supreme, circa 1100 BC
• Or, it could have been before or after this latter time...
• Per personal communication, writer David Sexton  notes that Salomé assumed the role of Semiramis some time after the rest of the Fallen were banished.

    In Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme Annual#4, the Shrieking Rain Jihad assaulted the residents of a restaurant in the World Trade Center. This is clearly a topical reference, as only 13-15 years have passed in the Marvel Universe since the Fantastic Four's spaceflight until now, while approximately 50 years have passed in real time. Clearly the destruction of the World Trade Center buildings in 2001 takes place before the start of the modern era of the Marvel Universe.
    In the 25+ years that have passed in the real world since this story, 5-6 years have passed in the Marvel Universe.

    I was going to place Midnight Sons Unlimited#5 after Dr. Strange, Sorcerer Supreme#65 because Salomé created her Skin of Necromancy in #64, which continued directly into #65. However, in some stories, she refers to her SkinS of Necromancy, indicating there are more than one.

    In Marvel Comics Presents I#146/3, Salomé references Phoebetor in association with dreams. Phobetor (without that first “e”) is one of the sons of Somnus (aka Hypnos) who are also known as the Oneiroi (the Dreams), along with Morpheus and Phantasos.

    In Nightstalkers#17, Salomé was described as the first woman "in countless millennia -- perhaps ever -- to hold the vaunted position <of Sorcerer/ess Supreme"
    That was true of what was known at the time, but a few female Sorcerer Supremes have since been revealed, including one active around 40 years ago at the time of the the stories publication; with the sliding time scale, that's more like 60 years, but still not countless millennia; maybe Salomé just didn't know about the others. Regardless, it has since been revealed:

• Shamhat Saraswati was the first thus far identified, although she was of the non-human Bird Men of Akah Ma'at - reported as serving from 15,000 to 10,000 BC.
  
• She was succeeded by Ayesha of Balobedu, the first human Sorcerer Supreme - reported as serving from 10,000 BC to 5,000 BC
• Semiramis/Salomé held the role from 1300 BC to 1100 BC.
  
• Balkis (aka Queen of Sheba), held the role from 800 to 550 BC
• Demon Rider (Kushala) held the role from an unidentified time period during the 17th and/or 18th centuries
  
• Nina the Conjurer, held the role for an undisclosed time around the 1950s
• And probably more will be revealed over time...
  

  Sarpedon...I'm not sure if Salomé's enemy was one of these guys, or someone else

• Sarpedon, a son of Zeus, who fought on the side of Troy in the Trojan War. Although in the Iliad, he was the son of Zeus and Laodamia, the daughter of Bellerophon, in the later standard tradition, he was the son of Zeus and Europa, and the brother of Minos and Rhadamanthus, while in other accounts the Sarpedon who fought at Troy was the grandson of the Sarpedon who was the brother of Minos.
• Sarpedon, a Thracian son of Poseidon, eponym of Cape Sarpedon near the outlet of the River Hebrus, and brother to Poltys, King of Aenus. Unlike the other two Sarpedons, this Thracian Sarpedon was not a hero, but an insolent individual who was shot to death by Heracles as the latter was sailing away from Aenus.
• Sarpedon, son of Zeus and Lardane and brother of Argus.

Patriarchists...I'm not sure who is intended to be the enemy of Salomé

• Patriarchs are, of course, fathers or founders, male leaders of a family or organization
• I'm not sure if Salomé's reference to Patriarchists refers to anything more specific than that, but searches for Patriarchists does come up with reference -- according to Merriam-Webster -- to the Patriarchs who are bishops of the ancient or Eastern Orthodox sees of Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, and Jerusalem or the ancient and western see of Rome with authority over other bishops...

The historical Semiramis

    According to my on-line research (whatever that's worth), multiple sources note that Semiramis (whose real/original/Akkadian/Aramaic name was Shammurammat or Shammu-Rammat) was the wife of Assyrian King Shamshi-Adad V, who ruled from 824-811 BC. When the kind died, his son, Adad-Nirari III, was apparently very young. Some sources note that Semiramis ruled as regent for 5 years before Adad-Nirari was old enough to take over as ruler, while others note that she had considerable influence on her young son/king.

Here's some detailed information on the historical Semiramis, courtesy of the Ancient History Encyclopedia (www.ancient.eu/semiramis/), with minor edits:

Sammu-Ramat, more famously known as Semiramis, was the queen regent of the Assyrian Empire (reigned 811-806 BC) who held the throne for her young son Adad Nirari III until he reached maturity. She is also known as Shammuramat or Sammuramat. She was the wife of Shamshi-Adad V (reigned 823-811 BC) and, when he died, she assumed rule until Adad Nirari III came of age, at which time she passed the throne to him.

According to scholar Gwendolyn Leick, “This woman achieved remarkable fame and power in her lifetime and beyond. According to contemporary records, she had considerable influence at the Assyrian court." This would explain how she was able to maintain the throne after her husband’s death. Women were not admitted to positions of authority in the Assyrian Empire, and to have a woman ruler would have been unthinkable unless that particular woman had enough power to take and hold it.

This, however, is precisely the problem with Sammu-Ramat’s reign: there is very little information about what she did and how she went about doing it and some scholars refer to her simply as “an obscure Assyrian lady of the eighth century B.C. of whom we know nothing for certain except that she is named on an inscription as lady of the palace.” It would seem, however, that she was much more than that and, however little may be left to record her reign, there is enough to suggest that she was the equal of her predecessors and secured the kingdom after the death of her husband.

Semiramis' Ancestry

Shamshi-Adad V was the son of King Shalmaneser III and grandson of Ashurnasirpal II. Their successful reigns and military campaigns would have provided Shamshi-Adad V with the stability and resources to begin his own successful reign had it not been for the rebellion of his older brother. Shalmaneser III’s elder son, Ashur-danin-pal, apparently grew tired of waiting for the throne and launched a revolt against Shalmaneser III in 826 BC. Shamshi-Adad V took his father’s side and crushed the rebellion, but this took him six years to accomplish. By the time Ashur-danin-pal was defeated, much of the resources which Shamshi-Adad V would have had at his disposal were gone, and the Assyrian Empire was weakened and unstable.

Semiramis' Reign

It is at this time that Sammu-Ramat appears in the historical record. It is not known what year she married the king, but when her husband died and she took the throne, she was able to provide the nation with the stability it needed. Historians have speculated that, since the times seemed so uncertain to the people of Assyria, the successful reign of a woman would have engendered a kind of awe greater than that of a king because so unprecedented. She was powerful enough to have her own obelisk inscribed and placed in prominence in the city of Ashur. It read:

Stele of Sammuramat, queen of Shamshi-Adad, King of the Universe, King of Assyria, Mother of Adad Nirari, King of the Universe, King of Assyria, Daughter-in-Law of Shalmaneser, King of the Four Regions of the World.

What exactly Sammu-Ramat did during her reign is unknown, but it seems she initiated a number of building projects and may have personally led military campaigns. According to the historian Stephen Bertman, prior to Shamshi-Adad’s death, Sammu-Ramat “took the extraordinary step of accompanying her husband on at least one military campaign, and she is prominently mentioned in royal inscriptions.” After his death, she seems to have continued to lead such campaigns herself, although this, like much else in her reign, has been questioned. 

Whatever she did, it stabilized the empire after the civil war and provided her son with a sizeable and secure nation when he came to the throne. It is known that she defeated the Medes and annexed their territory, may have conquered the Armenians and, according to Herodotus, may have built the embankments at Babylon on the Euphrates River which were still famous in his time. What else she did, however, merged with myth in the years after her reign. The historian Susan Wise Bauer comments on this, writing:

The Babylonian princess Sammu-Ramat stepped into the place of power. A woman on the Assyrian throne: it had never been done before, and Sammu-Ramat knew it. The stele she built for herself is at some pains to link her to every available Assyrian king. She is called not only queen of Shamshi-Adad and mother of Adad-Nirari, but also “daughter-in-law of Shalmaneser, king of the four regions.” Sammu-Ramat’s hold on power was so striking that it echoed into the distant historical memory of a people just arriving on the scene. The Greeks remembered her, giving her the Greek name Semiramis. The Greek historian Ctesias says that she was the daughter of a fish-goddess, raised by doves, who married the king of Assyria and gave birth to a son called Ninyas. When her husband died, Semiramis treacherously claimed his throne. The ancient story preserves an echo of Adad-Nirari’s name in Ninyas, the son of the legendary queen; and it is not the only story to hint that Sammu-Ramat seized power in a manner not exactly aboveboard. Another Greek historian, Diodorus, tells us Semiramis convinced her husband to give her power just for five days, to see how well she could manage it. When he agreed, she had him executed and seized the crown for good.

These legends concerning Semiramis and her marriage to Ninyas (also known as Ninus) inspired still more tales of the queen's reign. According to the Gesta Treverorum (12th century AD), an account of the Germanic Treveri tribe, Semiramis even exerted influence over ancient Germania. According to the story, Ninyas had a son by an earlier marriage named Trebeta. Semiramis hated her stepson and saw him as a threat. After Ninus' death, she either exiled him or he, fearing for his life, left Assyria with a band of followers and eventually founded the city of Trier, which would become one of the largest cities in the Roman Empire. 

Other ancient accounts, such as those by Diodorus Siculus, also seem to have combined earlier accounts of Sammu-Ramat’s reign with myths and legends relating to the goddess Astarte and Ishtar/Inanna so that, in time, the historical queen became the mythical, semi-divine, Semiramis. This theory is contested, however, and there are those historians who claim Sammu-Ramat had nothing to do with the later figure of Semiramis and even those who claim that Sammu-Ramat never ruled as regent.

The historian Wolfram von Soden, to cite only one example, writes, “That Sammu-Ramat, the Semiramis of Greek literature, was temporarily regent after 810 BC cannot, however, be proven.” Von Soden is not alone in this opinion but other historians, such as Bauer, are just as adamant in their claims that Sammu-Ramat not only reigned over the Assyrian Empire but was the inspiration for the myths and legends surrounding Semiramis.

Semiramis in Literature

She remains, therefore, one of the more controversial figures from ancient history and has become more so since the 19th century AD when the Christian minister Alexander Hislop published his book The Two Babylons (originally in 1853 AD and a more popular edition in 1858 AD), linking Semiramis with the whore of Babylon from the biblical Book of Revelation, Chapter 17. Even though The Two Babylons is clearly anti-Catholic propaganda and has no claim to biblical or historical accuracy, it is still cited by certain protestant Christian works as an authority on the subject, and the book therefore contributes to the controversy surrounding Semiramis.

The book claims, to cite only two examples of biblical inaccuracy, that Semiramis was Nimrod’s wife, whereas Chapter 10 of Genesis says no such thing, and famously insists that Semiramis is the whore of Babylon when her name is nowhere mentioned in the Bible. The historical inaccuracies in the work are too numerous to mention. Even so, the book continues to exert a powerful influence over certain readers and their understanding of ancient history in general and Semiramis specifically.

Whether Sammu-Ramat was the model for Semiramis continues to be argued by modern historians, who often cite the same ancient inscriptions for their conflicting arguments, and it does not seem to be a debate that will be settled anytime soon. Based simply on the evidence of Sammu-Ramat being able to erect her own stele at the prestigious city of Ashur, however, it would appear she was a very impressive and very powerful Assyrian queen who was known to later generations as Semiramis.

skin(s) of necromancy

(Midnight Sons Unlimited#5) - In the rafters of her Broadway theater, as Salomé used her skin of necromancy to seek out Dr. Strange's hidden refuge, she sensed Dr. Strange's associates, Michael Morbius and the Jack Russell werewolf (both of whom were mind-controlled by Modred the Mystic) slaughtering her entranced followers just outside the theater.

(Midnight Sons Unlimited#5 - BTS) - Salomé remotely observed as Modred and Wildpride convinced Morbius and Russell to join them against Salomé.
