wonder woman

Wonder Woman is the secondary antagonist of NetherRealm Studios' Injustice franchise.

She is a Power User and the arch-nemesis of Ares and Cheetah. Diana, Princess of Themyscira, was the result of her mother, Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, having a torrid affair with Zeus, God of Thunder. Fearing the wrath of Zeus’s notoriously Jealous wife, Hera, Goddess of Marriage, Hippolyta disavowed all knowledge of the affair and explained Diana’s birth under the premise that she was merely the result of Hippolyta wanting a child, the desire of which taking on the form of a lump of clay that took on the shape of a female. As Diana grew older, she became increasingly restless, feeling that she had seen all that the idyllic Themyscira had to offer. Frustrated with her lack of purpose, she eventually went to her elders to offer ways of contributing to her people, to which they reveal that Diana’s path had been preordained for her: to learn the art of storytelling from Clio, the Amazonian scribe. Unsatisfied by this revelation, Diana sought Adventure, but discovered no such thing taking place in the Amazon archives. When Diana met with Clio, they discussed her true origins. Intrigued by what she had learned, she sought to learn more about Amazon history from Clio. After learning that Queen Hippolyta ordered that information be hidden to hide her failures, Diana confronted her mother, who revealed the truth. In 1939, during the Chicago World’s Fair, Diana foiled an assassination attempt on President Franklin Deleanore Roosevelt, by a Nazi sleeper agent. After convincing him to let her help, she continued her heroics and was celebrated as the world’s first superhero. She would later go on to found the Justice Society. An exiled sister of Themyscira, Wonder Woman remains in hiding after the fall of the Regime. Still an ardent believer of Superman and his rule, Wonder Woman awaits her opportunity to strike back against Batman and free Superman from his imprisonment. She appears in the flashback scene and is seen at Arkham Asylum when she encounters Bruce. She asks if he’s here to help, only for him to respond that he’s stopping them from making a mistake. She tells him that Joker forced their hands, and they must change with Metropolis. She angrily tells Bruce that she thought he would understand all people before fighting him and being defeated. Bruce uses Diana’s lasso against her and demands to know Superman’s whereabouts. She tells him that he can’t turn his back on Superman and that he needs Bruce.

In present day, she is currently hidden in Kahndaq, along with Black Adam since she's been exiled from Themyscira and disowned by her once-beloved sisters (due to her prime counterpart successfully convincing them to turn away from the corrupting influence of the One Earth Regime).

She is watching the destruction Brainiac is causing and assists Kara and Black Adam to free Superman.

During Brainiac's invasion of Earth, Wonder Woman and Black Adam are informed of the potential destruction of the world, and decide to take the opportunity to free their allies with Kara's help. Despite freeing both Damian and Cyborg, the group is picked off one at a time by Blue Beetle and Firestorm. Though having this initial setback, the group is able to regroup in front of Superman's cell, leading to Firestorm attempting to cause a nuclear explosion to stop them. Before Wonder Woman can stab Firestorm to stop him, Batman knocks her sword away and orders Jason to stand down. To everyone's surprise, Batman then personally releases Clark.

Against her decision, Batman focuses first on regaining control of Brother Eye before coordinating their attack and rescuing civilians. Wonder Woman takes Supergirl with her to fight Brainiac's robots. Once Brother Eye is restored, Wonder Woman and Supergirl are tasked with helping civilians, but Wonder Woman attempts to disobey orders to fight Brainiac directly. Thanks to Kara's persuasion, Wonder Woman relents and attacks a group of Brainiac's robots, but she is knocked away by both Reverse-Flash and Captain Cold.

Diana easily defeats the pair, but Scarecrow uses his fear gas on her, exploiting her fear of becoming a villain and Superman's rejection. Wonder Woman, however, overcomes the fear gas and defeats Scarecrow to rejoin Kara, who was now defeated by Cheetah.

Wonder Woman defeats Cheetah and attempts to kill her but is stopped by Harley Quinn as it disobeys Batman's orders not to kill. In response, Wonder Woman stabs Harley instead and is stopped by Supergirl, who is surprised by Diana's savagery. Diana later reports Supergirl's actions to Superman at the Fortress of Solitude.

Once Brainiac has successfully extracted multiple cities, and Superman is presumably captured by Brainiac, Wonder Woman immediately attempts to blame Batman, but Supergirl shoves her and urges them to focus on rescuing the people collected by Brainiac. She and the other heroes are tasked with fighting Brainiac's betas while Batman and Supergirl infiltrate Brainiac's ship.

When Batman and Superman defy the odds and defeat Brainiac, severing his connection to his shop, Wonder Woman, Black Adam, Aquaman, Green Lantern, and Flash all join together to decide what to do with the invader. Ultimately, both Superman and Batman become conflicted over killing him or not, and Wonder Woman takes Superman's side and fights Flash but loses against the scarlet speedster.

She eventually rejoins Clark in pursuing Kara to the Batcave, where she duels Batman, now using a Kryptonite suit. She is ultimately defeated by Bruce.
