401:) are discussing about it. Fans at this point are pretty sure that something big will die before the end of the crisis, and DC has announced a new Wonder Woman v3, like a new Checkmate and Blue Beetle. It's also stated in that link that DC comics is forced to keep a Wonder Woman alive to maintain merchandising rights. But Wonder Woman had really crossed the line, we read. This time, is not an alternate universe, is the real deal. So, supposing that after the Crisis Donna Troy will return to her superhero career, a logical conclusion for some fan is actually the handling of the Wonder Woman mantle from Diana to Donna, a fresh "restored" character, loved by long time fans, and, in internal narration, perceived as "pure" and "uncompromised" with 31: 495:. Once upon a time Donna Troy's powers were a result of cautious use of the Purple Ray to transfer a tiny fraction of many Amazons' power to her. It has also been used on other people along the years - Changeling of the New Teen Titans (who got a power boost from the experience) and Zatanna of the JLA come to mind. See 955:
I'm not a comics general fan, but a feminist scholar and a mother of a child who is a fan of the wonder woman tv series. I read this entry looking for information on the progression of the mythos and find the entry vague and hard to follow. I would appreciate those who have the information filling in

Huge threats to Paradise Island are actually a standard WW plot. They happen all the time. John Byrne had one early on his WW run, Marv Wolfman actually had one early on his New Titans title in a story that IIRC did not even involve Diana, even the 1970s TV show had a few plots of imminent invasion
530:
The main storyline is supposed to run for, I believe, 6 issues, however as you know the leadup has gone on since late 2004. Apparently, however, the fallout from I.C. is expected to have a bearing on all mainline DC Comics for the forseeable future (including this apparent time-shift that's supposed

WW is named Diana, but she most certainly is not particularly linked to the Roman Goddess that shares that name with her. Nor with Artemis, the corresponding Greek Goddess, for that matter. As for how WW became the Goddess of truth, Zeus ascended her when she died. But she ended up too stuck with
387:
It is not all that different from, say "Captain America's values are put to test", "How will Batman feel about the dangers his teenage sidekick is facing?", "Can Iron Man save Stark Industries from its enemies" or "How can Spider-Man deal with both a classic enemy back for vengeance and his aunt's
301:
It seems that a god can only "heal" people turned to stone by a Gorgon, but wound inflicted with the venom of her snake are beyond the most skilled god ability. And Wonder Woman, seeing that a blindfold didn't have any effect, burned down with such a venom her optical nerves. There weren't much to
672:
That is a way of looking at things, I guess. In practice, she lives in some American big city and returns to Themyscira occasionally (sometimes very occasionally indeed). Pre-Crisis that city would be New York; post-Crisis, it was Boston, then (during Byrne's run) the fictional Gateway City, CA
433:
Another possibility is the return of the old Diana Prince WW (Infinite Crisis spoiler ahead). Earth-2 Superman in I.C. #2 stated his desire to basically bring Earth-2 back; it's possible the "death" of this divergent WW might result in a reset button being pushed and suddenly we end up with Diana
215:
Is it really necessary to include plot details about recent stories? (e.g. "Diana now has grey eyes.") We don't provide that level of information about the stories published in, say 1975, after all. I think the article should stick to an overview of the character and general description of her
291:
the restoring of a child turned stone by the gaze of the Gorgon, Athena decided to share with Diana her godly vision. In her profile we can put that last part... now Wonder Woman seems to have an enhancement in her "Spirit of truth" powers. She's not a human lie detector, but she can "see", even
224:
It's not the eye colour thing. It's the "After saving Hermes, and putting Athena on the throne, she was rewarded by binding her eyesight with Diana's." If the character was blind, and now she's not (or something to that effect), I do think is relevant. The colour of her eyes may be an irrelevant
546:
I'm surprised not to see Artemis mentioned (the stand-in WW that is). I don't have the knowledge to start an article on her, but I want to start one for the OTHER Artemis / Tigress in the Injustice Society. I suppose my question is: should Artemis have her own article, or just a mention in WW's
747:
My understanding is her present home is the Themyscrian Embassy but I don't know which city that's located in (this being the DC world, Washington is not necessarily the automatic assumption). Given her present legal status, her home is probably more accurately the UN prison.
644:
I don't think I read anything about where on Earth Wonder Woman resides. Mind you, I don't know much about the character; I don't know if she lives in a city, travels the Earth a lot, or maybe only comes to Earth at certain times. So, if I could get some help, that would be
632:
It seems that when the material on the tv show was forked off into its own article, a large chunk of the intro was left behind on the main Wonder Woman article. Should this duplication not be pruned back to a few sentences plus a more prominent link to the tv article?
372:
With a movie version of Wonder Woman just around the corner, I think the odds of her dying in Infinite Crisis are slim to none. But it's possible some sort of reinvention/reboot may be in the offing considering how things are developing in the storyline.
488:
The Purple Ray was created by a German scientist and (former) spy, the Baroness Paula von Gunther. It is a _very_ early Wonder Woman concept - it was used to help Steve Trevor in the very first WW story IIRC. There is some WWW info on her - see
306:, Athena would heal herself, or let a most skilled god heal Diana, but she preferred to share with her a part of her vision. Maybe that would return... if Wonder Woman is now able to see some more truth, she would be able to see a way to end the 361:
I've read the article Wonder Woman myself, that is how I had found out about the battle going on. Does DC Comics intend that Paradise Island be destroyed, these women exterminated, or is this one of those "cliff hangers" ? Will Wonder Woman be

Prince of Paradise Island coming back in some form. This is all speculation, but DC does seem intent on rewriting the books this time (while, it seems, undoing a lot of what Crisis on Infinite Earths set out to do 20 years ago).

of the character, as those two have probably been the most influential in depicting the character besides Peter and Perez. They certainly deserve it more than J.G. Jones who gets two pics on here!!
907:#5 piqued my interest about her. Could someone more familiar with the E2 Diana Prince include some information about her in the main article? I know that she was the mother of the Pre-Crisis 275:
head of the Gorgon. Being her wound a wound inflicted by a "god", it couldn't be repaired by magical and technological beams, like the Purple Ray, and for a while it seems to be permanent.
