History
Early life
The real Cleopatra
In ancient times, when the Romans invaded, she tried to escape and hid in the Sphinx which protected her and her treasure.
Scooby-Doo! in Where's My Mummy?
Hundreds of years later, Velma accompanied a restoration project that was working on the Sphinx. After accidently opening the caverns beneath it, she concocted a plan to protect the legendary treasure from Amelia von Butch and her fellow theives. Things were complicated, however, when the rest of Mystery Inc. arrived. After making it seem that she had turned to stone, Velma disguised herself as the ghost of Cleopatra, and the workers as her army of the undead. Mystery Inc. set out to catch her, but this only gave Amelia von Butch time to find the treasure and steal the crown. A trap was sprung and the Sphinx was flooded. Amelia and Cleopatra were both unmasked and the gang realized their "enemy" had been Velma all along. They didn't seem to mind however, for they had been able to catch the real villain, Amelia von Butch.
Appearances
Notes/trivia
- Cleopatra appeared in four different forms: The real Cleopatra in the flashback; her mummified remains; Velma's disguise; Daphne's disguise.
- The legends says she died when one of the royal cobras bit her.
- The opening voice-over has the original Cleopatra say, "In the year 41 BCE,...." which is wildly anachronistic.
- it mentions nothing about her love for julius ceaser and mark antony
- 2000 years hasnt done anything good to her complexion in velmas disguse according to Daphne
