Character:Calm, mature, brave, kind, strong-willed, honest, stubborn, cheerful, peaceful Diana of Themyscira, also known as the superhero Wonder Woman, is a founding member of the Justice League and one of the most respected heroes on Earth. The daughter of Hippolyta, former Queen of the Amazons, Diana volunteered to leave behind her home of Themyscira and champion the Amazons' message of peace, justice, and equality in Man's World. Queen Hippolyta of the Amazons had an affair with Zeus, resulting in the birth of twin children: Diana and Jason.[5] To protect herself and Diana from the wrath of Zeus' notoriously jealous wife Hera, Hippolyta hid the truth of her heritage from Diana by telling her that she was shaped from clay and given life by the gods.[6][7]. Later, this origin was revealed to be a lie,[8] with Diana herself claiming that her mother had indeed made her from "water and clay and hope"[9] and the god Hephaestus referring to her as a "waste of clay." Following the cosmic upheavals of the Rebirth period and Death Metal, this character's history was revised. Diana of Themyscira was born of her mother's desperate desire for a child. Hippolyta fashioned a lump of clay into the form of a child on the beaches of Themyscira and beseeched Aphrodite, the patron goddess of the Amazons, to hear her prayers. Diana was then given life by the Greek Goddesses and endowed with godly gifts. As she grew, Diana often became restless, feeling that she had seen all that the idyllic isle had to offer; her listlessness compounded by her existence as the sole child within Themyscira's borders. She did, however, befriend a young Kanga she named Jumpa, and she shared a special bond with Nubia, who emerged from the Well of Souls on the day of Diana's birth; they were considered to be twin sisters, despite their vast difference in age. Main article: Wonder Woman: The Adventures of Young Diana Special Vol 1 1 Diana often sought out adventure as a child and loved exploring her island home. Believing some quiet study might do her daughter some good, Hippolyta assigned Diana to learn the art of storytelling from Clio, the Amazons' Scribe. Clio and Diana met in the archives and discussed Themyscira's history, where Diana was intrigued at Clio's implications that Themyscira's recorded history was imperfect and not as idyllic as Diana had been taught. Clio later informed Diana that parts of Amazonian history had been lost over the years, showing her a shrine to the Amazons' patron goddesses that contained several ancient texts but was seemingly missing one. Diana, ever the thrill seeker, tried to recover the missing text for Clio. After searching the island, she decided to explore the largely untouched ocean around it as well, where she found the missing text hidden in an undersea cavern. She retrieved the text and brought it back to Clio, where they discovered that several pages had been torn out. After visiting Magala, the Amazonian mystic who tended to the Well of Souls, and confiding in her about the missing pages, Magala revealed that she possesed them and gave them to Diana. Within them, Diana discovered the tale of a young soldier who had been amongst Hercules' forces; compassionate and kind, he had been killed by his own men while attempting to surrender. The pages, however, had been enchanted by the witch Circe in order to discourage truth-seekers and caused Diana to grow obsessed with them. Concerned, Clio attempted to take the pages away from her but accidentally ripped them, releasing the magic bound within them and possessing Clio. The possessed Clio began to attack those around her, but was eventually stopped by Philippus, Hippolyta, Helene, and Io after Io healed her with the Purple Healing Ray. Later, Hellene (Themyscira's former Scribe) revealed to Clio and Diana that she had torn the pages and hidden the text, attempting to gain prestige amongst her fellow Amazons, and that it had left her vulnerable to Circe's manipulations. Hellene also revealed that Queen Hippolyta had ordered her to hide the book in the first place. Diana confronted Hippolyta, who revealed the truth: she had the histories altered in order to hide her own failure. She then gave Diana an accurate account of the fall of the first Themyscira to Hercules and Theseus, the death of her sister, Antiope, and how it was her spear that had started the bloodshed. After discussion with Magala, Diana returned to her mother, and convinced her to reveal the truth to her sisters. Afterwards, Clio and Diana participated in the Amazonian games for the first time. During Diana's childhood, she and Hippoyta became trapped in Dimension Chi, an alternate reality created by Hippoyta and a dark mirror of her own life. Viewing them as advance scouts for an invasion, Empress Hippolyta imprisoned Diana and engaged in a series of contests with the Queen. Being reflections of one another, the queen and empress remained tied until interrupted by an invasion from the domain of Atomia. They joined forces to defend the Empress' Themyscira. Diana managed to free herself, and in the process saved the Empress' life. Diana and Hippolyta managed to bring peace between the Empress' Themyscira and Atomia, and were allowed to return home. When Diana was a young adult, Steve Trevor and his men crash-landed on the beaches of Themyscira; Steve was the only survivor.[17] A tournament was held among the Amazons to determine the representative that would return to Man's World along with him. Diana defeated the other Amazons but was tasked with the final challenge, deflecting a bullet fired from a gun by her mother. After winning the contest Diana was awarded a suit of armor and the Lasso of Truth and left for the United States of America,[18] though upon her arrival she was arrested and detained in a cell. Falling into despair, Diana was visited by the Gods of Olympus in their animal forms: a peacock, deer, owl, mouse, eagle, dove and tortoise, who granted her the gifts of strength, speed, endurance, empathy and flight. Shortly after coming to the outside world, Diana interrupted a terrorist attack and was named "Wonder Woman" by the press, like her mother before her.[20] She continued to use her gifts to fight for peace and justice in Man's World.[21] She later fought Ares.During the late Rebirth era, it was briefly established that Diana had debuted during Second World War, saving the life of sitting president Franklin Delano Roosevelt by a Nazi sleeper agent. Diana then warned Roosevelt that a great evil was coming and asked him to let her help them. Following this, she continued her heroics and thus became a national icon as well as the world's first superhero. This, and her ability to see the greatness each human was capable of inspired the "Golden Age" of superheroes as well as the Green Lantern Alan Scott.[22] However, it was later established that Hippolyta was Wonder Woman during this period, and that Diana did not debut until much later. Diana was among the founding members of the Justice League. While the team's actual first meeting is debated, Diana helped defeat Darkseid's invasion and participated in the subsequent battle with the alien Appellaxians, which resulted in them nearly being turned into trees before emerging victorious. The heroes, inspired by their victory, formed a team, christening it the Justice League, although Diana only joined them officially some short time after their proper establishment. One of their earliest foes was Starro the Conqueror.[23][13] Following an encounter between Barry Allen and Jay Garrick, the Flashes of two heroic generations, the Justice Society of America fully came out of retirement to defeat the Crime Champions alongside their League sucessors. The two teams began to act together from this point forward to battle any threats too great for a single band of heroes, such as the Earth 3 Crime Syndicate, which included an evil version of Wonder Woman known as Superwoman. At some point, Diana rescued a young child who was left alone, through unknown circumstances, in an apartment that caught fire. Unable to locate the girl's parents, Diana brought the child to her mother, Hippolyta, who adopted her and trained her in the ways of the Amazons of Themyscira, naming her Donna Troy. In time, Donna was granted the powers of her fellow Amazons and, with her adoptive mother's permission, became Wonder Woman's sidekick in Man's World under the alias Wonder Girl,[24][25] with Diana helping her adoptive sister set up a flat in Washington, D.C., even though she had reservations concerning her teammates on the newly-formed Teen Titans. Around this time, Diana came into conflict with several people who would end up becoming some of her greatest foes, including her former friend Barbara Minerva, now the second Cheetah, Veronica Cale, Dr. Psycho, Angle Man, Circe, Giganta, Silver Swan, Dr. Cyber and Dr. Poison. For a time, Wonder Woman forwent a costume, due to briefly losing her powers, wearing "mod"-styled civilian clothes, though she eventually returned to her costumed heroics.[27][13] At the outset of a crisis, she snapped the neck of Maxwell Lord in an attempt to stop him from completing a scheme to wipe out all metahuman life.[28] In the period right after this incident, she operated as a spy, wearing a white catsuit accompanied by violet-lensed sunglasses. At some point, she died and was resurrected. Consequently, during the Blackest Night Nekron was able to turn her into a Black Lantern.[29] She also briefly served as a member of the Star Sapphire Corps. When the deities Deimos and Phobos, sons of Ares, started planning how to free their father from the prison of Themyscira, they began to manipulate Diana, changing all the memories Wonder Woman had about her past, from her birth to travelling out of Themyscira to live in the world of men, and she was also manipulated into believing she lived certain adventures after she left her home. Until later, Diana was convinced that this memories were true. However, during this period, Diana did participate in many adventures in Man's World that truly occurred; largely events unrelated to the Greek Pantheon and her kin. After taking Despero to the authorities, Wonder Woman and Superman came across the mysterious Pandora, someone Wonder Woman was familiar with. She believed Superman could use her box to trap the evil she unleashed in ancient times; but when Superman touched it, he was overwhelmed by its power. While Pandora took the box and left, the two heroes received news that a new superhuman, Shazam, was entering the borders of Kahndaq. Their confrontation with Shazam turned violent until the rest of the Justice League and the Justice League of America intervened to defuse the situation. Suddenly, Dr. Light lost control of his powers and began absorbing Superman's solar energy, unleashing an energy beam at Wonder Woman. In a fit of anger, Superman killed Dr. Light with his heat vision, an action that caused a fight between the two Leagues. Superman begged his fellow heroes to arrest him, and while he was taken to the A.R.G.U.S. facilities, Diana expressed disapproval at Steve Trevor's secret Justice League. Wonder Woman travelled to the Temple of Hephaestus and demanded Hephaestus tell her about what the box really was. Hephaestus answered that the box was not created by the Gods of Olympus and the truth was a mystery even to them. Wonder Woman decided to seek help from the Justice League Dark.[82] Suddenly, the three Justice Leagues converged at the House of Mystery, where the heroes were divided, one side led by Wonder Woman, the other by Batman. Zatanna, having taken Wonder Woman's side, teleported the group away.[83] Wonder Woman's group tracked Pandora's box to Lex Luthor's prison cell, where Pandora was offering the box to Luthor. Wonder Woman grabbed the box but was overwhelmed by its power. A fight broke out among the heroes for possession of the box and was only ended when John Constantine took the box, being the only one capable of doing so without being corrupted. Zatanna and Constantine took the box to the temple of Hephaestus, where the three Justice Leagues had converged again.[85] After yet another battle between heroes, the box went dormant and the Justice Leagues discovered a Kryptonite sliver in Superman's nervous system, placed there by the Atomica, a traitor working for the Outsider, leader of the Secret Society. Then, the Outsider used the box to open a path across universes, allowing the Crime Syndicate to enter the Justice Leagues' world. The Crime Syndicate imprisoned the Justice Leagues inside the Firestorm Matrix[87] which psychologically placed them in situations that depicted their greatest failures. Wonder Woman was placed in a situation where she was forced to do battle against both Amazons and humans for the lives of Superman and Steve Trevor. Martian Manhunter and Stargirl attempted to break her out but Wonder Woman ignored them. Wonder Woman and the other heroes were finally released from the Firestorm Matrix when Batman used the Lasso of Truth on Firestorm. Superman was still infected with the Kryptonite shard inside his nervous system, but Lex Luthor was able to extract it, saving Superman's life. Luthor also assembled a group of villains that defeated the Crime Syndicate. Later, at the Batcave, Wonder Woman and the Justice League talked about the enemy that destroyed the Crime Syndicate's world and came to the conclusion that Darkseid would return. After the death of Superman, Wonder Woman became depressed and began to remember her origins differently, questioning aspects of her past such as whether she truly was mocked as a child and her relationship with Ares. In a fit of rage Diana crushed the helmet of War. Realizing that she shouldn't have been able to do that, she used the Lasso of Truth on herself and discovered that she had been deceived. Diana traveled to Olympus for answers, but found it abandoned. She also found herself unable to return to her home of Themyscira. Seeking answers, Wonder Woman sought out an old friend that she believed could provide the way to Themyscira: Barbara Minerva, the Cheetah.[92] Cheetah agreed to help, under the condition that Diana kill the plant-god Urzkartaga and free Barbara from her curse, which Diana agreed to do.[93] When she located Urzkartaga, however, she discovered Steve Trevor and some of his fellow soldiers had been captured by Colonel Andres Cadulo, who intended to become the embodiment of the god and sacrifice Steve in the process. Wonder Woman freed dozens of Cadulo's captives and, with the help of Cheetah and the women he had captured, succeeded in destroying Urzkartaga and freeing Barbara from the curse of the Cheetah.[94] With Barbara's help, Diana and Steve were able to find "Themyscira," though Diana was surprised to find her mother alive and well despite remembering her as dead at the hands of Hera. After removing her bracelets, Diana realized that her past interactions with these representations of the Amazons and her home were in fact an illusion, and that she may have never returned home since she originally left to escort Steve to the United States.[95] Upon this realization, Diana suffered a mental breakdown. Having learnt of Wonder Woman's inability to return to Themyscira, Doctor Veronica Cale, a wealthy and powerful woman, set into motion a plan to use Wonder Woman to find Themyscira. Years earlier, Cale's daughter Izzy had her soul stolen by the gods Phobos and Deimos. They told Veronica that they would only return her daughter to her if she helped them find Wonder Woman, and got the location of Themyscira from her. Seeing no other option, Cale had formed a team called Godwatch, dedicated to locating Diana and Themyscira. Veronica Cale employed the toxicologist Doctor Poison, who led Team Poison, a team that attempted to capture Diana and Steve. In order to protect Diana in her vulnerable state, Steve had her admitted to a mental hospital in London.[96] Team Poison continued to pursue Steve, Barbara and Commander Etta Candy, however. Barbara, who had been a member of Godwatch when she was Cheetah, decided to speak to Veronica herself. Cale and Doctor Cyber showed Barbara footage of Team Poison, who were about to kill her friends, and Barbara agreed to become Cheetah again in exchange for Veronica calling off the team and sparing their lives. Diana quickly regained her sanity and was taken out of the mental hospital's care. She immediately noted the absence of Barbara and set out to locate her. However, when she arrived at Empire Enterprises, she was greeted only by Doctor Cyber.[98] Cale set Team Poison onto Wonder Woman once again, and Colonel Poison managed to shoot Diana through the chest. Diana and Steve quickly overcame their forces and followed Veronica Cale and Cheetah to a gateway that led to Themyscira. Wonder Woman and Cheetah fought, and a drop of Diana's blood fell onto the gateway which opened the portal to Ares' prison beneath Themyscira. Phobos and Deimos, whom Cale had turned into dogs with the help of Circe, entered the portal, along with Diana and Veronica Cale. Veronica found her daughter beside Ares. Ares told Diana that he had been imprisoned by the other Gods of Olympus and bound in chains that were secured by Aphrodite through the power of her love. He also told her that years ago, Phobos and Deimos had implanted false memories of Themyscira into her mind, and these had caused her to imagine aspects of her past that had never happened in reality. Meanwhile, Phobos and Deimos entered Themyscira and battled with the Amazons. Diana knew what she had to do, and called Ares to unite her with Phobos and Deimos. He teleported them to her, and using her Lasso of Truth, Wonder Woman bound them through the power of her unconditional love for them, as Aphrodite had done to Ares. With the twin gods defeated, Diana attempted to leave Ares' prison along with Veronica and Izzy, however Izzy's essence had been attached to the realm and could not return to Earth. Izzy was forced to either live out the rest of her days in the prison or live in Themyscira as an Amazon for eternity. She chose the latter and Veronica said goodbye to her daughter. Diana was briefly reunited with her mother, for the first time since she left the island. . . . .
