Wonder Woman 164
Synopsis:
Synopsis for ”Wonder Woman -- Traitor!”
Shortly after Wonder Woman finds out that Gen. Darnell is secretly in love with her, she learns that Steve Trevor has, in Darnell’s words, ”recklessly went out to test a new super rocket plane which killed a test pilot who took his place while he was recovering!” Steve also fails to return, and Wonder Woman’s searching can reveal no trace of either him or his plane. Wonder Woman grieves, but Darnell consoles her, and she finally accepts a proposal of marriage from the general. However, she is unable to say the words ”I do” at the ceremony, still thinking of Steve, and Darnell releases her from her engagement. The Amazon princess rescues another pilot testing the rocket plane, and takes his place, finding the craft captured by rays fired from a submarine. She battles frogmen from the sub, but finally is overcome, and finds herself encircled by her own Magic Lasso, held by her enemy, Angle Man. The villain forces her to retrieve the weapons that the U.S. uses against him, for resale to criminals. Steve Trevor, a prisoner of Angle Man, misunderstands the lasso’s power over her and calls Wonder Woman a traitor. Finally, Trevor is so angered that he knocks down Angle Man, causing the villain to lose his grip on the lasso. Angle Man jettisons Wonder Woman and Trevor from the ship and sends a torpedo at them, but Wonder Woman deflects it back into the sub, sinking it. Wonder Woman gets herself and Steve to the surface, explains that the Magic Lasso compelled her to obey Angle Man, and kisses him.

Notes
The series of ”Golden Age Wonder Woman” stories that ran from Wonder Woman #159 through issue 165 (with a final story in issue 168) are hard to place in continuity. While done in a style consistent with Earth-Two, they don’t fit into Earth-Two continuity well. Crisis on Infinite Earths: The Compendium (2005) places these stories on Earth-Forty (with the Earth-Two Wonder Woman having similar adventures), whilst Essential Wonder Woman Encyclopedia (2010) places them on Earth-One. This means that these stories with slight variations occurred on all three Earths.

(January, 1942)
What’s an angel? I think I’d rather be a woman.
— Wonder Woman src
Diana, Princess of the Amazons was born on the mystical Paradise Island several hundred years before she became known to the outside as Wonder Woman.
History
Origin
Isolated from the cruelty and corruption of men and their ways, the Amazons lived in peace and advancement openly working with and obeying the will of the Olympian god Aphrodite. Longing for a child of her own, Hippolyta the Queen of the Amazons, begged for the gods to grant her request and turn her perfect clay statue into a real girl. Sympathetic to Hippolyta’s request, Aphrodite animated the statue with true life and the girl immediately leaped off the pedestal and into her mother’s arms.
Pleased with the child, Hippolyta began to raise ”her” daughter as an Amazon with all the station and privilege of her mother’s royalty. As a child she was incredibly competitive and quickly outstripped her age-mates in tests of speed and strength. Diana aged slowly and stopped aging altogether upon reaching her adulthood as with all of the Amazons. Diana excelled, surpassing most of her Amazon sisters in her skills and intelligence.
Diana continued to perform as a contented Amazon until the fated day when Captain Steve Trevor crash landed on Paradise Island. Never having seen a true man before Diana was immediately attracted to the handsome man despite his extensive injuries. Violating the Island rules about taking in outsiders, Diana took the unconscious Trevor back to the Amazons in an attempt to save his life.[3] Pleading with her mother to save the man, Hippolyta relented and used the life healing Purple Ray on Trevor saving his life.[4]
Wonder Woman in her original costume
Learning that the outside world was engaged in full world wide war, Diana wanted to participate and help stop the Second World War, but her ulterior motive was to leave Paradise Island with Steve Trevor. Hippolyta refused stating that she and the others should not get involved in the ways of the outsiders. But when the goddess Aphrodite declared that it was time for an Amazon to travel to ”Man’s World” and fight the evil of the Nazis, a tournament was held to determine who would be the Amazon champion. Although forbidden by Hippolyta to participate in the tournament, Princess Diana did so nevertheless, concealing her identity with a mask. Upon winning Diana revealed her identity to her heartbroken mother who feared that she would never see her daughter again. After winning the tournament and revealing her true identity, Queen Hippolyta relented and allowed her daughter to wear the costume of Wonder Woman and travel to the outside world.[3] Diana returned Steve Trevor to the United States and adopted the identity of an Army nurse named Diana Prince so she could be close to Trevor as he recovered from his injuries.[5] Now known as glasses wearing Diana Prince, Princess Diana began to operate as Wonder Woman publicly and forged papers that allowed her to become the recently promoted Major Trevor’s and Col. Phillip Darnell’s confidential assistant.[6]
World War II
Di stayed in this position fighting Axis agents both as Wonder Woman and Diana Prince, though tried to keep her fighting as Diana limited to paperwork and spycraft. She worked in both guises alongside Steve Trevor and the newly formed Holliday Girls, a pseudo sorority that did espionage for military intelligence and went on other adventures.
During the war she joined the Justice Society of America (on Earth-Two) as their first female member though she was usually relegated to secretarial duties for the Justice Society despite her beyond superhuman strength and abilities. Diana rejoined the team when it reformed as the All Star Squadron and expanded. In June, 1942, she briefly fought with Superman when she discovered that the United States was planning to create the atomic bomb and attempted to eliminate all nuclear weapons.[7]
Diana continued to perform as an open crime fighter after World War Two and resisted being recalled home to Paradise Island after the war,[8] preferring to give up her immortality than leave her life of independence and personal identity.
Post-War
Wonder Woman in her protective suit.
As the war drew to a close Diana became aware of an extraterrestrial threat, the Saturnians were abducting and enslaving humans in preparation for a large scale invasion. She fought agents of the Saturnian Emperor on many occasions, even making her way into space to combat them. She eventually forced him to sign a treaty with the United States that brought a close to the enslavement of humans by the Empire, and a return of those humans who had been abducted to Saturn’s moons. Even after his defeat he kept sending Eviless against the Amazon, with her posing as a rogue agent while the Emperor tried to get earth based forces to break their treaty and give him an excuse to invade. The Saturnian Ambassador to the U.S., Count Dendum, did not approve of his Emperor’s tactics and swore to Wonder Woman that he would aid her even at the expense of his position.[9][10][11][12]
Her final major confrontation with the Empire’s forces came when Eviless begged for mercy upon defeat, claiming to want a chance to reform and to avoid enslavement as punishment for herself and the women under her command as would occur if returned to her Emperor in defeat. Wonder Woman agreed to imprison the Saturnian women in Reformation Island, but this was a ruse. Eviless and her ladies started a prison revolt and she was able to recruit seven like-minded villains to form Villainy, Inc., including her former ally Hypnota. The new alliance was able to capture the Queen and take over Paradise Island, but their victory was short lived and they were defeated by Wonder Woman.[13]
In 1947 Diana fought the scientist queen Atomia, who sought to steal and use all the uranium on earth. The strange queen ended up locked into a mind controlling Venus Girdle by Aphrotdite herself, as she was deemed nonredeemable for her cruel experiments in turning humans into her cybernetic mind controlled slaves.[14]
1950s
Diana Prince, Private Detective.
In 1950 Diana opened up a Private Detective office as part of a government sting operation. Once the criminals her apparent resignation from military intelligence were meant to trap were caught she kept the office and continued doing PI work when she had the time in her busy schedule, helping find missing persons and pets.[2]
Through the 1950s, Diana was able to continue operating as a super-powered crime fighter as she had admitted to having no secret identity and stated herself to be a legendary Amazon, unlike many of the other masked heroes who were forced to either reveal their secret private identity or stop operating by the Federal government’s Committee on Un-American Activities. This of course was not truly accurate on Diana’s part as she continued to use her alias of Diana Prince.
It was during those years that Diana began to explore fully her romantic interests in her long-time crime fighting partner, Col. Steve Trevor. After a period of courtship, Diana revealed her alias of Diana Prince to Trevor. Initially taken back by the revelation, Trevor and Diana married. Diana later retired from active duty of the US Navy and decide to become a housewife where she raised their daughter, Hippolyta ”Lyta” Trevor named after Diana’s mother.[15]
Later Life
Diana rejoined the reformed Justice Society of America in the 1960s, though she mostly preferred to spend her time raising her daughter as a stay at home mother. During this time, Diana met her younger Earth-One counterpart. The two became good friends, occasionally inviting the younger Amazon to Earth-Two to enjoy a home cooked meal prepared by retired General Trevor.
Crisis on Infinite Earths
Diana was an elder stateswoman among the superhero community until the ”Crisis on Infinite Earths” came to Earth-Two and erased all of its existence from reality. Diana fought well and was protected from erasure at the end of the Crisis by ascending to Mount Olympus along with her husband as both were erased and forgotten by the history of a new Primary Earth other than by their daughter who was reformatted into the new universe to be the daughter of Helena Kosmatos (Fury).
Infinite Crisis
Helping the latest Wonder Woman regain herself as a true successor to the title, Princess Diana Trevor and her husband supposedly left the current reality for all time. Whether this happens to be truth or not remains to be seen as she has appeared on several occasions, mostly as an apparition.[16]

* The series of ”Golden Age Wonder Woman” stories that ran from Wonder Woman #159 through issue 165 (with a final story in issue 168) are hard to place in continuity. While done in a style consistent with Earth-Two, they don’t fit into Earth-Two continuity well. Crisis on Infinite Earths: The Compendium (2005) places these stories on Earth-Forty (with the Earth-Two Wonder Woman having similar adventures), whilst Essential Wonder Woman Encyclopedia (2010) places them on Earth-One (early in the Earth-One Wonder Woman’s career). This means that these stories with slight variations occurred on all three Earths.
Trivia
* Marston created Wonder woman after his wife told him to create a strong female character, as heroes like Batman and Superman were already really popular.
* Like most superheroes at her time, Wonder Woman was made to increase American morale during World War 2, initially fighting axis powers
* Wonder Woman’s original Golden Age look was modeled after the pin-up girls on WW2 propaganda pictures at the time, but was modified in more later appearances to look like Lynda Carter, who played her in a TV show. More recent renditions depict her as more Mediterranean/Greek looking.

History
Origin
Diana was born and raised as an Amazon on the hidden world of Paradise Island. When the Amazons were required by the Goddess Athena to send one warrior to the Man’s World, Queen Hippolyta arranged a series of challenges for all Amazons to overcome. Diana was among them and she managed to succeed in every challenge. She was called Wonder Woman by her Amazon sisters and she became their warrior to leave Paradise Island and stay at the Man’s World. However, she was forced to flee Paradise Island sooner than expected because Air Force Colonel, Steve Trevor’s plane failed in mid-air and he would’ve fallen on Paradise Island, rendering the Amazons powerless. Diana glided using air currents and took Trevor to the mainland, where she started her career as Wonder Woman.[2]
Soon after coming to the Man’s World, Wonder Woman saved the infant Donna Troy from a burning house fire. Donna would be raised on Paradise Island as the adopted daughter of Queen Hippolyta, and thus Diana’s adoptive sister. Donna returned to the Man’s World as the teenaged Wonder Girl of the Teen Titans. Meanwhile, Diana had become a founding member of the Justice League of America.
Depowered but never Powerless
Wonder Woman then surrendered her powers to remain in ”Man’s World” (partly to assist Steve Trevor, who was facing criminal charges) rather than accompany her fellow Amazons into another dimension so they could ”restore their magick.”
Now a mod boutique owner,[3] the powerless Diana Prince soon came under the wing of a Chinese mentor known as I-Ching. Under I-Ching’s guidance, Diana was trained to use her body as a weapon, learning martial arts and weapons skills, and proceeded to undertake secret agent-style adventures.[4]
During one of these exploits, Diana came in conflict with the evil Doctor Cyber and after a few encounters, their quarrel ended with Cyber’s apparent demise after she tried to steal Diana’s body for herself.[5]
With her identity as Diana Prince, she also helped Batman capture the criminal called Willi van Dort, saving the Dark Knight from a likely death[6] and then she helped him capture an international criminal in Gotham City.[7]
Comeback
After two years of being powerless, Wonder Woman’s powers were finally restored and she started using her battle suit again.[8]
Following the return of the ”original” Wonder Woman, a major adventure consisted of the heroine’s attempt to be readmitted to the Justice League of America, the organization she quit after giving up her powers. To prove her worthiness to rejoin the JLA, Wonder Woman voluntarily underwent 12 ”trials” (analogous to the 12 labors of Hercules), each of which was monitored in secret by a different member of the JLA.[9][10][11]
Eventually, Wonder Woman started working at the United Nations in her secret identity as Diana Prince.[citation needed] In this new position, she was aware of many critical situations that required immediate attention of Wonder Woman.
When Diana was informed about an international criminal called Dimitrios, she went out looking for the criminal as Wonder Woman and with the unsuspected assistance from Batman, they captured the crook along with other criminals, taking them to justice.[12] She then worked with Batman to stop a French criminal called Flashback from disrupting important business between France and America.[13]
Judgment in Infinity
Main article: Wonder Woman: Judgment in Infinity
Upon running into the Adjudicator, who planned to test several alternate Earths and destroying them if he deemed them wanting, Wonder Woman summoned the Justice League and the Justice Society to warn them about his threat.[14]
Wonder Woman fought the Adjudicator’s four servants, aided by several fellow heroines: Supergirl, Zatanna, Madame Xanadu, Raven, Starfire and Wonder Girl of Earth-One; Black Canary, Huntress and Power Girl of Earth-Two; and Phantom Lady of Earth-X.[15]
At the end, though, their combined power wasn’t enough to take the Adjudicator down, but Wonder Woman managed to save all worlds when she ensnared him in his Lasso and demanded to know who set him up as judge, jury and executor, which alerted his overseers his lunatic ward had overstepped his boundaries and took him away.[16]
The End and a New Beginning
Wonder Woman fought a series of epic battles through the years, until she was thought to have been slain during the Crisis on Infinite Earths. But in reality, she was thrown backwards through time, devolving back into the clay from which she had been formed. Thus setting the stage for her eventual re-birth as a new being.
Convergence
Convergence
This section of the history takes place during Convergence, a massive crossover event revisiting characters from past eras and realities. The villains Brainiac and Telos plucked them from their own timeline and stored them together, causing them to cross over into each others’ reality. Its precise chronological placement and canonicity may be unclear.
Incomplete
There’s something missing here. This section of the article is incomplete, and contains information, but requires more before it can be considered complete. You can help DC Database by editing this page, providing additional information to bring this article to a higher standard of quality.
Before the events of Crisis on Infinite Earths occurred, Diana was in Gotham City when it was abducted by Brainiac and Telos and is stripped of her powers when the dome went up and was forced to live as a normal human for a year. During this time, she developed a relationship with Steve Trevor.
On the day the dome went down, her friend Etta Candy convinces her to help an old lady go to a cult meeting. When the dome starts to go down, she states angels aren’t real and the cultists knock her out and tie her up in the basement. When she awakens, she realizes that she has regained her powers and is an Amazon again.[17] She breaks free of her binds, only to discover the cultists had been murdered by the Joker from Earth-43. She manages to defeat the Catwoman and Poison Ivy from the same Earth and the vampirized cultists, only to find Steve and Etta had been vampirized by the Joker. Steve’s love for her makes him defy the Joker and sends himself and Etta falling into a ravine. She manages to kill Joker by impaling him with a wooden pole and escapes the collapsing church.[18]

Notes
* Wonder Woman first appeared in Earth-Two continuity in All-Star Comics #8 by William Moulton Marston and Harry G. Peter. Her first Earth-One appearance was Wonder Woman #98 by Robert Kanigher and Ross Andru.
* This version of Wonder Woman, including all history and corresponding appearances, was erased from existence following the collapse of the original Multiverse in the 1985–86 Crisis on Infinite Earths event and later restored following the rebirth of the infinite Multiverse during the Dark Crisis of 2022-2023. Even though other versions of the character may have appeared, this information does not apply to those versions.
* The series of ”Golden Age Wonder Woman” stories that ran from Wonder Woman #159 through issue 165 (with a final story in issue 168) are hard to place in continuity. While done in a style consistent with Earth-Two, they don’t fit into Earth-Two continuity well. Crisis on Infinite Earths: The Compendium (2005) places these stories on Earth-Forty (with the Earth-Two Wonder Woman having similar adventures), whilst Essential Wonder Woman Encyclopedia (2010) places them on Earth-One (and involving the Earth-One Wonder Woman). This means that these stories with slight variations occurred on all three Earths...and involved all three Wonder Women.

What’s an angel? I think I’d rather be a woman.
— Wonder Woman src
Diana, Princess of the Amazons was born on the mystical Paradise Island several hundred years before she became known to the outside as Wonder Woman.
History
Origin
Isolated from the cruelty and corruption of men and their ways, the Amazons lived in peace and advancement openly working with and obeying the will of the Olympian god Aphrodite. Longing for a child of her own, Hippolyta the Queen of the Amazons, begged for the gods to grant her request and turn her perfect clay statue into a real girl. Sympathetic to Hippolyta’s request, Aphrodite animated the statue with true life and the girl immediately leaped off the pedestal and into her mother’s arms.
Pleased with the child, Hippolyta began to raise ”her” daughter as an Amazon with all the station and privilege of her mother’s royalty. As a child she was incredibly competitive and quickly outstripped her age-mates in tests of speed and strength. Diana aged slowly and stopped aging altogether upon reaching her adulthood as with all of the Amazons. Diana excelled, surpassing most of her Amazon sisters in her skills and intelligence.
Diana continued to perform as a contented Amazon until the fated day when Captain Steve Trevor crash landed on Paradise Island. Never having seen a true man before Diana was immediately attracted to the handsome man despite his extensive injuries. Violating the Island rules about taking in outsiders, Diana took the unconscious Trevor back to the Amazons in an attempt to save his life.[3] Pleading with her mother to save the man, Hippolyta relented and used the life healing Purple Ray on Trevor saving his life.[4]
Wonder Woman in her original costume
Learning that the outside world was engaged in full world wide war, Diana wanted to participate and help stop the Second World War, but her ulterior motive was to leave Paradise Island with Steve Trevor. Hippolyta refused stating that she and the others should not get involved in the ways of the outsiders. But when the goddess Aphrodite declared that it was time for an Amazon to travel to ”Man’s World” and fight the evil of the Nazis, a tournament was held to determine who would be the Amazon champion. Although forbidden by Hippolyta to participate in the tournament, Princess Diana did so nevertheless, concealing her identity with a mask. Upon winning Diana revealed her identity to her heartbroken mother who feared that she would never see her daughter again. After winning the tournament and revealing her true identity, Queen Hippolyta relented and allowed her daughter to wear the costume of Wonder Woman and travel to the outside world.[3] Diana returned Steve Trevor to the United States and adopted the identity of an Army nurse named Diana Prince so she could be close to Trevor as he recovered from his injuries.[5] Now known as glasses wearing Diana Prince, Princess Diana began to operate as Wonder Woman publicly and forged papers that allowed her to become the recently promoted Major Trevor’s and Col. Phillip Darnell’s confidential assistant.[6]
World War II
Di stayed in this position fighting Axis agents both as Wonder Woman and Diana Prince, though tried to keep her fighting as Diana limited to paperwork and spycraft. She worked in both guises alongside Steve Trevor and the newly formed Holliday Girls, a pseudo sorority that did espionage for military intelligence and went on other adventures.
During the war she joined the Justice Society of America (on Earth-Two) as their first female member though she was usually relegated to secretarial duties for the Justice Society despite her beyond superhuman strength and abilities. Diana rejoined the team when it reformed as the All Star Squadron and expanded. In June, 1942, she briefly fought with Superman when she discovered that the United States was planning to create the atomic bomb and attempted to eliminate all nuclear weapons.[7]
Diana continued to perform as an open crime fighter after World War Two and resisted being recalled home to Paradise Island after the war,[8] preferring to give up her immortality than leave her life of independence and personal identity.
Post-War
Wonder Woman in her protective suit.
As the war drew to a close Diana became aware of an extraterrestrial threat, the Saturnians were abducting and enslaving humans in preparation for a large scale invasion. She fought agents of the Saturnian Emperor on many occasions, even making her way into space to combat them. She eventually forced him to sign a treaty with the United States that brought a close to the enslavement of humans by the Empire, and a return of those humans who had been abducted to Saturn’s moons. Even after his defeat he kept sending Eviless against the Amazon, with her posing as a rogue agent while the Emperor tried to get earth based forces to break their treaty and give him an excuse to invade. The Saturnian Ambassador to the U.S., Count Dendum, did not approve of his Emperor’s tactics and swore to Wonder Woman that he would aid her even at the expense of his position.[9][10][11][12]
Her final major confrontation with the Empire’s forces came when Eviless begged for mercy upon defeat, claiming to want a chance to reform and to avoid enslavement as punishment for herself and the women under her command as would occur if returned to her Emperor in defeat. Wonder Woman agreed to imprison the Saturnian women in Reformation Island, but this was a ruse. Eviless and her ladies started a prison revolt and she was able to recruit seven like-minded villains to form Villainy, Inc., including her former ally Hypnota. The new alliance was able to capture the Queen and take over Paradise Island, but their victory was short lived and they were defeated by Wonder Woman.[13]
In 1947 Diana fought the scientist queen Atomia, who sought to steal and use all the uranium on earth. The strange queen ended up locked into a mind controlling Venus Girdle by Aphrotdite herself, as she was deemed nonredeemable for her cruel experiments in turning humans into her cybernetic mind controlled slaves.[14]
1950s
Diana Prince, Private Detective.
In 1950 Diana opened up a Private Detective office as part of a government sting operation. Once the criminals her apparent resignation from military intelligence were meant to trap were caught she kept the office and continued doing PI work when she had the time in her busy schedule, helping find missing persons and pets.[2]
Through the 1950s, Diana was able to continue operating as a super-powered crime fighter as she had admitted to having no secret identity and stated herself to be a legendary Amazon, unlike many of the other masked heroes who were forced to either reveal their secret private identity or stop operating by the Federal government’s Committee on Un-American Activities. This of course was not truly accurate on Diana’s part as she continued to use her alias of Diana Prince.
It was during those years that Diana began to explore fully her romantic interests in her long-time crime fighting partner, Col. Steve Trevor. After a period of courtship, Diana revealed her alias of Diana Prince to Trevor. Initially taken back by the revelation, Trevor and Diana married. Diana later retired from active duty of the US Navy and decide to become a housewife where she raised their daughter, Hippolyta ”Lyta” Trevor named after Diana’s mother.[15]
Later Life
Diana rejoined the reformed Justice Society of America in the 1960s, though she mostly preferred to spend her time raising her daughter as a stay at home mother. During this time, Diana met her younger Earth-One counterpart. The two became good friends, occasionally inviting the younger Amazon to Earth-Two to enjoy a home cooked meal prepared by retired General Trevor.
Crisis on Infinite Earths
Diana was an elder stateswoman among the superhero community until the ”Crisis on Infinite Earths” came to Earth-Two and erased all of its existence from reality. Diana fought well and was protected from erasure at the end of the Crisis by ascending to Mount Olympus along with her husband as both were erased and forgotten by the history of a new Primary Earth other than by their daughter who was reformatted into the new universe to be the daughter of Helena Kosmatos (Fury).
Infinite Crisis
Helping the latest Wonder Woman regain herself as a true successor to the title, Princess Diana Trevor and her husband supposedly left the current reality for all time. Whether this happens to be truth or not remains to be seen as she has appeared on several occasions, mostly as an apparition.[16]

* In the Pre-Crisis continuity, Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor gave birth to a daughter named Hippolyta Trevor, and raised her with both humans, Amazons. Hippolyta (Lyta for short) became a member of the Earth-Two super-hero team, Infinity, Inc. In the Post-Crisis continuity, the war-time Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor were rendered apocryphal and Lyta’s parentage was retconned to include Helena Kosmatos, the Golden Age Fury as her biological mother and Joan Dale, the superheroine known as Miss America, as her foster mother.
* The series of ”Golden Age Wonder Woman” stories that ran from Wonder Woman #159 through issue 165 (with a final story in issue 168) are hard to place in continuity. While done in a style consistent with Earth-Two, they don’t fit into Earth-Two continuity well. Crisis on Infinite Earths: The Compendium (2005) places these stories on Earth-Forty (with the Earth-Two Wonder Woman having similar adventures), whilst Essential Wonder Woman Encyclopedia (2010) places them on Earth-One (early in the Earth-One Wonder Woman’s career). This means that these stories with slight variations occurred on all three Earths.
Trivia
* Marston created Wonder woman after his wife told him to create a strong female character, as heroes like Batman and Superman were already really popular.
* Like most superheroes at her time, Wonder Woman was made to increase American morale during World War 2, initially fighting axis powers
* Wonder Woman’s original Golden Age look was modeled after the pin-up girls on WW2 propaganda pictures at the time, but was modified in more later appearances to look like Lynda Carter, who played her in a TV show. More recent renditions depict her as more Mediterranean/Greek looking.

History
Origin
Diana was born and raised as an Amazon on the hidden world of Paradise Island. When the Amazons were required by the Goddess Athena to send one warrior to the Man’s World, Queen Hippolyta arranged a series of challenges for all Amazons to overcome. Diana was among them and she managed to succeed in every challenge. She was called Wonder Woman by her Amazon sisters and she became their warrior to leave Paradise Island and stay at the Man’s World. However, she was forced to flee Paradise Island sooner than expected because Air Force Colonel, Steve Trevor’s plane failed in mid-air and he would’ve fallen on Paradise Island, rendering the Amazons powerless. Diana glided using air currents and took Trevor to the mainland, where she started her career as Wonder Woman.[2]
Soon after coming to the Man’s World, Wonder Woman saved the infant Donna Troy from a burning house fire. Donna would be raised on Paradise Island as the adopted daughter of Queen Hippolyta, and thus Diana’s adoptive sister. Donna returned to the Man’s World as the teenaged Wonder Girl of the Teen Titans. Meanwhile, Diana had become a founding member of the Justice League of America.
Depowered but never Powerless
Wonder Woman then surrendered her powers to remain in ”Man’s World” (partly to assist Steve Trevor, who was facing criminal charges) rather than accompany her fellow Amazons into another dimension so they could ”restore their magick.”
Now a mod boutique owner,[3] the powerless Diana Prince soon came under the wing of a Chinese mentor known as I-Ching. Under I-Ching’s guidance, Diana was trained to use her body as a weapon, learning martial arts and weapons skills, and proceeded to undertake secret agent-style adventures.[4]
During one of these exploits, Diana came in conflict with the evil Doctor Cyber and after a few encounters, their quarrel ended with Cyber’s apparent demise after she tried to steal Diana’s body for herself.[5]
With her identity as Diana Prince, she also helped Batman capture the criminal called Willi van Dort, saving the Dark Knight from a likely death[6] and then she helped him capture an international criminal in Gotham City.[7]
Comeback
After two years of being powerless, Wonder Woman’s powers were finally restored and she started using her battle suit again.[8]
Following the return of the ”original” Wonder Woman, a major adventure consisted of the heroine’s attempt to be readmitted to the Justice League of America, the organization she quit after giving up her powers. To prove her worthiness to rejoin the JLA, Wonder Woman voluntarily underwent 12 ”trials” (analogous to the 12 labors of Hercules), each of which was monitored in secret by a different member of the JLA.[9][10][11]
Eventually, Wonder Woman started working at the United Nations in her secret identity as Diana Prince.[citation needed] In this new position, she was aware of many critical situations that required immediate attention of Wonder Woman.
When Diana was informed about an international criminal called Dimitrios, she went out looking for the criminal as Wonder Woman and with the unsuspected assistance from Batman, they captured the crook along with other criminals, taking them to justice.[12] She then worked with Batman to stop a French criminal called Flashback from disrupting important business between France and America.[13]
Judgment in Infinity
Main article: Wonder Woman: Judgment in Infinity
Upon running into the Adjudicator, who planned to test several alternate Earths and destroying them if he deemed them wanting, Wonder Woman summoned the Justice League and the Justice Society to warn them about his threat.[14]
Wonder Woman fought the Adjudicator’s four servants, aided by several fellow heroines: Supergirl, Zatanna, Madame Xanadu, Raven, Starfire and Wonder Girl of Earth-One; Black Canary, Huntress and Power Girl of Earth-Two; and Phantom Lady of Earth-X.[15]
At the end, though, their combined power wasn’t enough to take the Adjudicator down, but Wonder Woman managed to save all worlds when she ensnared him in his Lasso and demanded to know who set him up as judge, jury and executor, which alerted his overseers his lunatic ward had overstepped his boundaries and took him away.[16]
The End and a New Beginning
Wonder Woman fought a series of epic battles through the years, until she was thought to have been slain during the Crisis on Infinite Earths. But in reality, she was thrown backwards through time, devolving back into the clay from which she had been formed. Thus setting the stage for her eventual re-birth as a new being.
Convergence
Convergence
This section of the history takes place during Convergence, a massive crossover event revisiting characters from past eras and realities. The villains Brainiac and Telos plucked them from their own timeline and stored them together, causing them to cross over into each others’ reality. Its precise chronological placement and canonicity may be unclear.
Incomplete
There’s something missing here. This section of the article is incomplete, and contains information, but requires more before it can be considered complete. You can help DC Database by editing this page, providing additional information to bring this article to a higher standard of quality.
Before the events of Crisis on Infinite Earths occurred, Diana was in Gotham City when it was abducted by Brainiac and Telos and is stripped of her powers when the dome went up and was forced to live as a normal human for a year. During this time, she developed a relationship with Steve Trevor.
On the day the dome went down, her friend Etta Candy convinces her to help an old lady go to a cult meeting. When the dome starts to go down, she states angels aren’t real and the cultists knock her out and tie her up in the basement. When she awakens, she realizes that she has regained her powers and is an Amazon again.[17] She breaks free of her binds, only to discover the cultists had been murdered by the Joker from Earth-43. She manages to defeat the Catwoman and Poison Ivy from the same Earth and the vampirized cultists, only to find Steve and Etta had been vampirized by the Joker. Steve’s love for her makes him defy the Joker and sends himself and Etta falling into a ravine. She manages to kill Joker by impaling him with a wooden pole and escapes the collapsing church.[18]

Even though other versions of the character may have appeared, this information does not apply to those versions.
* The series of ”Golden Age Wonder Woman” stories that ran from Wonder Woman #159 through issue 165 (with a final story in issue 168) are hard to place in continuity. While done in a style consistent with Earth-Two, they don’t fit into Earth-Two continuity well. Crisis on Infinite Earths: The Compendium (2005) places these stories on Earth-Forty (with the Earth-Two Wonder Woman having similar adventures), whilst Essential Wonder Woman Encyclopedia (2010) places them on Earth-One (and involving the Earth-One Wonder Woman). This means that these stories with slight variations occurred on all three Earths...and involved all three Wonder Women.
