Heqt is the Egyptian frog goddess of fertility.
History
Heqt manifested as a giant frog avatar in the center of Fawcett City, tongue-lashing people and raining frogs (the last time she showed up was documented as the Old Testament plague of frogs).
The goddess was enraged at how frogs were treated by humans, their lives wasted by the thousands in scientific experiments without appreciation for their contribution to the cycle of life.
Superman, with the powers of Shazam, traveled to the hidden reality where Heqt was, and after a long conversation and demonstration of empathy, the goddess retreated and stopped the attack on Fawcett City. Diplomacy and reason succeeded where force would have simply failed.[1]
