Following Diana's role in ''ComicBook/DarkNightsDeathMetal'', writers Becky Cloonan and Michael Conrad took over the series at #770 as part of the ''ComicBook/DCInfiniteFrontier'' relaunch.



* AmnesiacHero - Diana arrives in Valhalla only knowing her name and that she used to be some sort of warrior. When Ratatoskr tells her they need Wonder Woman, Diana's only response is wondering who that is.
* BroughtDownToBadass: In Valhalla, Diana doesn't have her super strength, flight, invulnerability, and seemingly any other power besides her ability to talk to animals (though Ratatoskr might just be a TalkingAnimal who everyone understands, given they're sometimes depicted as in other depictions of mythology). She is still a badass with years of experience in combat, and is the mightiest of the Amazon warriors. Deconstructed though as despite her skill, the fact she's lost her powers throws off her instincts, so she's not blocking or dodging like she should because she still expects attacks to bounce off of her.



* TruerToTheText: When Wonder Woman sees Thor in battle at Valhalla, rather than look like he does in [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Marvel's take on the character]], he's depicted as a stout red-headed man with a beard, which is how he was said to look in the original mythology. Mjolnir is also designed to look more like it does in Norse mythology, rather than the block-on-a-stick design Jack Kirby gave it and popularized by the [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse MCU]].

* BiTheWay: Issue 2 (the first "Year One" issue) implies Diana was TheCasanova during her life on Paradise Island. (Or to be more accurate, some gossiping Amazons speculate that she is.) It is canonized that she was closer than friends with at least one peer. Later on, [[WordOfGay Greg Rucka]] himself said that Woman Wonder was definitely queer.

* SadlyMythtaken:
** In mythology Atlantiades/Hermaphroditus was born to Aphrodite and Hermes, the gods of female and male sexuality respectively, while here they were created by Aphrodite alone. Particularly erogenous as they even explain they are a union of opposites, while they're not really the result of a union of any kind in this iteration where they have been turned into an intersex Aphrodite clone.
** In mythology Atlantiades less commonly known name comes from Hermes' mother being a daughter of Atlas, while here Aphrodite's mother Dione was mistaken for one of Atlas' daughters when her father was given variously as Uranus or more commonly Aether, never Atlas. Up until this point in the DCU Aphrodite had not been a daughter of Zeus either, though their is some mythological basis for this as some sources claim she is the daughter of Zeus and Dione rather than the daughter of Zeus' grandfather Uranus as she is more commonly thought of.
** Getting rid of their father Hermes makes their more commonly known name of Hermaphroditus entirely nonsensical, as the name is a combination of their parents names Hermes - Herm and Aphrodite - aphroditus.
** Hermaphroditus was one of the Erotes in mythology, but was the god of {{hermaphrodite}}s, effemate men, and androgyny while lust, sexual desire and mutual love were aspects of other Erotes: lust/desire an aspect Himeros and Eros and mutual love of Anteros.
