Over three thousand years old, Philippus is the Amazonian personal protector of Queen Hippolyta and the mentor of Princess Diana on the island of Themyscria, or Paradise Island. After Hippolyta's death, Philippus became chancellor of Themyscira, leading the Amazons in Diana's absence but now she continues to serve as Diana's personal bodyguard and ally. Recently, and probably against Human Resources guidelines, Hippolyta and Philippus have been portrayed as in a romantic relationship, with both regarding Diana as their daughter, and they were married during Gail Simone's run on the title.

But then of course, it all went away. There have been deaths, destruction and much deliberation, but Lazarus Planet has taken away powers, granted powers and revived all manner of folk. And now, with the return of Hippolyta, it is time for a very important reunion with Philippus that many have been waiting for. Lazarus Planet: Revenge Of The Gods #2 is out from DC Comics tomorrow…
