[edit] Golden Age (Earth-2)
Draska Nishki brazenly approached Colonel Darnell at U.S. military intelligence, claiming to have stolen secret plans to America's latest super weapon and offering to return the plans for a million dollars.
Darnell sent Steve Trevor and the Holliday Girls to a costume party to verify Draska's claim and recover the plans. Wonder Woman attended the party surreptitiously by switching costumes with Betty, one of the Holliday Girls.
After Draska escaped with hostages Betty and Steve Trevor, pursued by Wonder Woman, the Holliday Girls, and Darnell. Wonder Woman foiled Draska’s scheme, and Draska was forced to return the stolen plans. Darnell was then promoted to General for his role in Draska's capture. (Sensation Comics #40 (April 1945))
Draska caused more trouble when put on trial. Capturing Wonder Woman in her own magic lasso, Draska forced the Amazon to break her out and take her to Paradise Island. There, she attempted to use Wonder Woman in a plot against Hippolyte and the Amazon nation itself, but Wonder Woman escaped the grip of the magic lasso and Hippolyte herself defeated Draska. (Sensation Comics #42 (June 1945))
[edit] Silver Age (Earth-1)
The Earth-One Draska brazenly introduced herself to U.S. military intelligence as a spy-for-hire. When Diana Prince attempted to throw her out, she used knockout gas from her cigarette and martial arts skill to assert herself and exit on her own terms.
Prince and Steve Trevor investigated a bombing attack on a movie studio which was producing a film about Cleopatra. They learned Draska was behind the plot, hired by a rival movie studio. (Wonder Woman (vol.1) #161)
The Angle Man concocted an elaborate plot to kidnap Steve Trevor and force him to reveal military secrets in order to impress the lovely Draska. (Wonder Woman (vol.1) #161)
