This article is about Giganta (G1). For the generation two, see Giganta (G2). |
Giganta is a villain in the first generation of the DC Super Hero Girls franchise.
Appearance[]
Giganta is a colossal teenage girl with red hair done up in a ponytail, blue eyes, peach skin and pink blush. She also has a beauty mark by her nose and wears a long sleeved yellow and black jumpsuit with yellow in the middle and black around the sides and big black leather boots, unlike her previous incarnations where she had a more ragged and feral look.
Personality[]
Giganta is short-tempered and gets angry whenever she loses items of her own clothing or when someone points out her anger problem. In either case, it becomes difficult for her to calm down. She literally went berserk just because she lost an earring as revealed in Truth of the Lasso Part 4.
While she is a villain, she seems to show remorse when she's doing community service in the film Hero of the Year, and it's implied she's only destructive because she's insecure, and she will occasionally (albeit reluctantly) help the heroes out.
In It's a Superful Life, she's friendly to Hawkgirl and Cyborg after they give her a giant scarf created by Katana as a winter holiday gift.

Depiction in the web series[]
Season two[]
In New Beginnings, Giganta attempts to rob a bank and engages Wonder Woman when she shows up to stop her. Giganta throws a car at Wonder Woman, but she dodges it and defeats Giganta by tying her up with her Lasso of Truth.[1] In the special Super Hero High, Giganta battles Super Hero High students led by Wonder Woman when she robs a jewelry store. They work together to defeat her by restraining her with Poison Ivy's vines before being arrested by Hawkgirl using "giant novelty handcuffs". In the film Hero of the Year, Giganta appears performing community service when she is interrogated by Wonder Woman and Supergirl on the whereabouts of Dark Opal. She claims ignorance, which is confirmed by Wonder Woman's Lasso of Truth. She then resumes her community service by throwing a car illegally parked in front of a fire hydrant across Metropolis into an impound lot.
Season three[]
In the film Intergalactic Games, Giganta appears on a TV monitor being viewed by Platinum as Lena Luthor orders her to analyze the fighting styles of Super Hero High students. She appears in footage from "New Beginnings", robbing a bank as Wonder Woman saves a man she dropped from falling. In Stealth 101 Part 1, Giganta makes a non-speaking appearance attacking Batgirl and Poison Ivy when they test out stealth gear due to Ivy's poor design choice of a construction worker disguise. In Body Electric, Giganta appears angrily wreaking havoc through Metropolis, believing her sunglasses were stolen. When Cyborg shows her that they were on her head, she gets angry when he tells her she has anger management issues. She then battles Cyborg, Thunder and Lightning and gets defeated when she grabs a power pole and electrocutes herself, causing a blackout in the city. Tied up by Supergirl, she blows a raspberry before being lifted away by a helicopter. In It's a Superful Life, Hawkgirl and Cyborg give her a giant scarf created by Katana as a winter holiday gift.
Season five[]
In Career Day, Wonder Woman suspects Giganta's rampage earlier in the morning as a possible cause of the destroyed Lady Justice statue.
Graphic Novels[]
Finals Crisis[]
In Finals Crisis, Giganta gets spotted by Wonder Woman, Lady Shiva and Hawkgirl while they wait search for a villain to fight for extra credit. After she accidentally takes Lois Lane's beverage order at Capes & Cowls Café, she erupts in anger as it has whipped cream, despite not ordering it. She lifts Steve Trevor in the air when he tells her so and tries to give her the correct one, angry that he told her "she did wrong". The students engage her and save Steve. Though Wonder Woman tells her to calm down, she proclaims that she never surrenders and pulls out a light pole to use as a weapon before retreating to Centennial Park. The students pursue and defeat her before Wonder Woman subdues her with her Lasso of Truth. Commissioner Gordon then takes over the situation. Later, her fall when she was subdued is revealed to have caused a loud noise in Batgirl's underground Batcave, making her move to her Beta Batcave to study for Semester Finals.[2]
Past Times at Super Hero High[]
In Past Times at Super Hero High, Wonder Woman tells Bumblebee in an alternate timeline that in her timeline, she has seen her stand up to Giganta, Solomon Grundy and Killer Croc.
Spaced Out[]
In Spaced Out, Wonder Woman mentions Giganta in frustration after catching Krypto after he runs loose, saying that she can defeat Giganta and stop a bus without brakes but cannot handle her friend's dog.
