* TheInfested: Milan is one of Zeus' few surviving bastard children. His eye sockets are empty and serve to accomodate a swarm of maggots, though he can still see through the eyes of any fly on the world, a power which causes him so much discomfort he has to wear a blindfold at all times to nullify it.

* {{Expy}}: While this Hippolyta is a fake in the Rebirth continuity, Rebirth does have Dimension Chi Hippolyta, who is basically this version with better hardware and less patience.

* IronicName: In Myth/ClassicalMythology Cassandra was cursed to have word she said be disergarded by all who would hear her. It was more ironic than intended, as ''that'' Cassandra mostly wanted what was best for people who shunned her at their own ruin while ''this'' Cassandra is actively out to ruin people who can't help but hurt themselves at her command.

* AdaptationalJerkass: It varies between titles, but Di started out as the only one of DC's big three to have a strict rule against killing, and even after later iterations did away with that she was always highly opposed to killing save for as a very last resort. This version of the character revels in it and mocks people who need her aid. In her own comic, she's much gentler about it.

* CompositeCharacter: This Wonder Woman falls in love with The World of Man after tasting ice cream. This is a ShoutOut to [[Series/WonderWoman1975 the 1970s television show]], except it was Diana's little sister Drusilla who instantly fell in love with ice cream there.

Added DiffLines:

* IMustMakeAmends: She assumes Barbara Ann Minerva became The Cheetah because Diana laughed at Barbara when Barbara talked about the amazon worshiping cult she came from, for just how much they got wrong about the amazons, who aren't goddesses and don't serve Artemis above all other authorities. While Diana's giggling didn't help, it turns out Barbara was ''always'' a criminal and that Diana's insensitivity just accelerated [[FalseFriend her plan to betray Diana]].


Added DiffLines:

* LeaveHimToMe: Wonder Woman decides to hunt down The Cheetah alone, insisting that The Justice League doesn't exist to clean up messes she caused. The League assist her anyway, because dangerous super villains ''are'' what they are supposed to be taking care of and they're all insistent that Cheetah's existence is ''not'' Diana's fault, as much as she'd rather take the blame than admit her friend was a {{false|friend}} one.

Added DiffLines:

* CultureClash: She has no problem intimdating people when she needs to get things done, but the Justice League title shows she underestimated just how intimading she really was, even while trying to be gentle
-->"[[InnocentlyInsensitive Am I not speaking your language correctly]]?"

* {{Flanderization}}: Pre-New 52, Diana was fairly unique amongst DC's heroes in that she was ''willing'' to kill enemies, but only when absolutely necessary and when there are zero other options available. As of the New 52, this has been exaggerated into her ruthlessly killing any villain she confronts, which makes it pretty hard to believe that the other heroes would want anything to do with her. Her pre-New 52 willingness to kill is also an example of this, if a more gradual one. Originally she was the one of DC's Big Three who would ''not'' kill. She made an exception when it came to gods, because (as she herself pointed out) gods had ResurrectiveImmortality. When the Silver Age came around she kept her no-killing rule as Batman and Superman also adopted one. When Creator/GeorgePerez rebooted her after Comicbook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths he brought back her willingness to kill gods (and expanded it to include other supernatural creatures as well), but never addressed whether they were still immortal. Later this was rationalized as her being willing to kill "when it was absolutely necessary". Then that was expanded to hypothetically include humans as well as non-humans. [[ItWasHisSled Then she snapped Maxwell Lord's neck]] and the rest is history.

* LukeIAmYourFather: In the Comicbook/New52 Universe, it's revealed by Eris in issue #2 and later confirmed by Hippolyta in the next issue than Diana is the daughter of Hippolyta and Zeus. However, ''ComicBook/DCRebirth'' has established that New 52 versions of Olympus and Themyscira are fakes, as is the New 52 Hippolyta, casting doubt on whether Diana really is Zeus' daughter or if this was something she was tricked into believing.

* ShockAndAwe: The Comicbook/{{New 52}} has her gain electric powers thanks to her relation to Zeus, just as Cassie had for the same reason in the previous continuity. Even after this was retconned, Diana kept her immunity to lighting by using her bracelets which was an inconsistant ability previously.

* TheAtoner: Wonder Woman suspects the worst of Cassandra pursing a minor and ties her up, only for the lasso of truth to reveal Cassandra really does want to make up for her role in making Cassie Sandsmark an orphan.

* TheAtoner: Wonder Woman suspects the worst of Cassandra pursing a minor and ties her up, only for the lasso of truth to reveal Cassandra really does want to make up for her role in making Cassie Sandsmark an orphan. {{Subverted|Trope}} as it turns out the lasso isn't ''quite'' as powerful here and ''can'' be fooled by someone who truly believes a lie.


Added DiffLines:

* CrazyPrepared: Cassandra hypnotised herself to believe her own lies in case she ever lost her powers or got defeated by Wonder Woman, which both come to pass more than once.
* EvilAunt: She played a part in the murder of Cassie Sandsmark's father, who was Cassandra's own brother, and Cassandra plans on murdering Cassie as well, once she has gotten everything out of Cassie she can, along with all of Cassie's friends [[KickTheDog just because.]]

* WellIntentionedExtremist: As queen of the amazons, Diana has the best of intentions for them. However, she also has a chip on her shoulder for having been ostracized by the rest of her tribe since childhood and isn't showing much patience in making them change for the better. Even more so when they create a new champion out of clay after years of claiming to hate her for being a clay born HumanoidAbomination.

Added DiffLines:

* ImmediateSelfContradiction: During the ''H'el On Earth'' arc Wonder Woman ''claims'' to have lost all sympathy for Supergirl because she is helping progress H'el's destroy Earth restore Krypton scheme, but then immediately spends the majority of their resulting fight trying to non lethally restrain Kara, at one point ignoring the perfect opporitunity to kill her after Kara tries and fails to repell Diana with a "[[ActionBomb solar flare]]", successfully subduing her and convincing her that H'el's plan will get everyone killed.


Added DiffLines:

* SuperDickery: The covers in particular make her out to be far more brutal than she really is, to other ''heroes'', such as hoisting an unconcious Donna Troy up ByTheHair while preparing to slice her neck or the broken body of Cassie Sandsmark up [[HoistHeroOverHead over her head]]. Diana, Donna and Cassie ''are'' far less kind in New 52 than they were, post crisis, but Diana still treats them with a far softer hand in the stories themselves(poor Donna does get an ''arm'' cut off, but New 52 Donna [[GoodThingYouCanHeal can easily survive that]] and Diana actually imprisons Donna for Donna's own safety when Donna becomes suicidal).

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Diana greatly overestimates the maturity and self restraint of Zola and Hera. Even after witnessing their tendencies to cause trouble firsthand several times over she still trusts them to remain in her apartment for a few hours without a baby sitter. Luckily for Diana the rest of the Olympians are interested in their continued survival as well and pick up her slack.

** Mytological Hephaestus is usually written to have gotten divorced from Aphrodite because he couldn't deal with her infidelity. He then married Aglaea, one of the Charites, with whom he had four children. He wouldn't still be married to Aphrodite in modern times.
