| 27 | -->--'''Steve Trevor''', ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' |
| 28 | |
| 29 | A military man and intelligence operative, Steve Trevor is classically associated with his longtime ally (and frequent love interest) ComicBook/WonderWoman. In most iterations, he's the first man Diana has ever seen, and is considered a rare male ally to the island of Themyscira.[[SlidingTimescale Throughout the years]], Steve's involvement in the Wonder Woman mythos has varied, most notably in the [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1987 post-Crisis years of Wonder Woman]] he was aged up and removed as a romantic possibility for Diana. Though originally introduced as a UsefulNotes/WorldWarII-era figure, his origin has taken him as far back as UsefulNotes/WorldWarI, or into the present-day. |
| 30 | ---- |
| 31 | * TheAce: Steve is a high-flying, death-defying manly man—but unlike many other such characters, who are often womanizing pigs, he has the utmost respect for Wonder Woman and consistently defers to her. |
| 32 | * AcePilot: His characterization has varied over the years but his excellent piloting skills generally remain consistent. In the post-Crisis continuity his mother was also an amazing pilot, and served as one of the Women Airforce Service Pilots and a flight trainer during WWII. |
| 33 | * ActionDad: Pre-Crisis Steve and Diana had a daughter named Hippolyta or "Lyta," while Steve was still serving in the Air Force as an intelligence officer. |
| 34 | * AdaptationalBadass: In the earlier comics, Steve was mainly a DistressedDude. In more modern works, Steve is now an AcePilot with hand-to-hand combat skills (though still not on Wonder Woman's level), a gun expert, and even a spy. |
| 35 | * AdaptationalJerkass: In some adaptations, Steve isn't the same humble, NiceGuy but a boorish, selfish jerk. |
| 36 | * AdaptationalSkill: While the [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 original]] Steve was an AcePilot and a crack shot his spy activities always had him as an OvertOperative which often resulted in him being captured and injured since his idea of a disguise was to walk into a villain's party in his full dress uniform. His ''ComicBook/WonderWomanRebirth'' iteration is far better at disguising his identity when doing espionage work. |
| 37 | * TheAllAmericanBoy: Steve's backstory has been subject to alterations over the decades, but usually he is from a rural background, though he moved more than most due to being a MilitaryBrat, idolized his mother and followed in her footsteps to become an AcePilot, has an older brother and a distant but caring veteran father and is a charming man who is incredibly respectful of everyone, save Nazis, for his entire life. |
| 38 | * AmazonChaser: Steve is an UrExample of this trope, at least for comic books. In the pre-ComicBook/{{Crisis|on Infinite Earths}} DCU, he rarely showed concern about being overpowered. |
| 39 | * TheArtifact: Since Marston left, the book has been adrift, but lingers (especially in adaptations) based on the name retaining some currency. Completely averted as of the ''ComicBook/{{New 52}}'' and ''ComicBook/DCRebirth'', however, where Trevor has been upgraded to being the DCU's version of ComicBook/NickFury. |
| 40 | * AuthorAvatar: For his creator, William Marston, as his basic thematic purpose in the Golden Age was to go on about how great Wonder Woman was. |
| 41 | * BabiesEverAfter: In three separate realities, he and Diana have a daughter -- two are named Lyta while the other is named Stephanie aka "Stevie". |
| 42 | * BadassNormal: Steve has battled against supernatural forces on a regular basis. |
| 43 | * BattleCouple: With Wonder Woman aka Diana of Themyscira. They're usually in a relationship and fought side-by-side in most continuities including Earth-Two, Earth-One, Prime Earth. |
| 44 | * BecauseDestinySaysSo: During the ''Rebirth'' storyline, Etta notes that Steve and Diana have an odd habit of getting caught up in the other's business, and wonders (har-har) whether something's drawing them together. |
| 45 | * BigBrotherMentor: Post-Crisis to Diana. |
| 46 | * BoxingLessonsForSuperman: Wonder Woman's brother Jason trained periodically with Hercules, but Diana is not impressed with what she sees and requests that Steve Trevor teach Jason some more, as she's too busy trying to save Themyscira at the time to do it herself. |
| 47 | * TheCaptain: Steve usually ends up promoted--in the [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 Pre-Crisis days]] all the way to General before retiring after the Vietnam War--and has acted as the leader of several military units, including rather secretive ones containing superpowered agents. |
| 48 | * ChickMagnet: Steve is usually considered very attractive in universe and despite him being a proper gentleman who only has eyes for Wonder Woman plenty of other women have made advances on him. This is played up in ''ComicBook/{{The Legend of Wonder Woman|2016}}'' where newspapers comment on how attractive he is when interviewing him and Etta Candy calls him a "dreamboat". |
| 49 | * DeadpanSnarker: Steve has shown to have a quick, dry sense of humor. |
| 50 | * DeathIsCheap: [[spoiler: Resurrected twice during the Bronze age. Specifically, he was killed by Doctor Cyber, causing Wonder Woman to relinquish her powers. Seeing her grief, the god Eros inhabited the lifeless body with his spirit and operated as Steve Howard, until his spirit was extracted from the body and Steve "died" again. Several years later, Aphrodite extracted Steve's ''essence'' from her son's memory and implanted it in the body of a Steve from another universe, overriding that Steve's (already altered) personality.]] |
| 51 | * DemotedToExtra: Steve's visibility in comics varied through the 1970s to the 1990s, with his character either absent or sidelined in favour of fantasy and action-adventure Wonder Woman stories without romantic interests. |
| 52 | * DistressedDude: His defining trait. |
| 53 | * DoAnythingSoldier: During the Golden Age of Comics Steve Trevor's job with the USAAF seemed to be a mishmash of spy, commando and ace pilot. |
| 54 | * DumbBlonde: Inverted. Steve is often depicted as a clever man who keeps his wits about him when in dangerous situations. In the Golden Age especially Diana was typically depicted as smarter or more knowledgable than him in virtually every subject, but not to the point Steve was made to look dumb. |
| 55 | * EmpoweredBadassNormal: In one 1968 issue, Steve took a temporary SuperSerum in the form of pills which gave him FlyingBrick powers, and he took the name of "Patriot". Although the story ended with a hint of possible future adventures, "Patriot" never appeared again, likely due to the all-new mod Wonder Woman just being around the corner. |
| 56 | * AFatherToHisMen: Steve started out working solo missions and rarely with the same group twice (outside of Di and Etta) but was always a firm believer in NoManLeftBehind. With his promotions and eventually gaining a constant squad he's in charge of on espionage missions, he looks after them like family. |
| 57 | * FirstLove: To Diana in the New 52 Universe. |
| 58 | * FiveSecondForeshadowing: After Cheetah is driven ([[HazyFeelTurn more]])mad by gods from the Dark Matter Multiverse and Wonder Woman goes hunting for her Steve Trevor advises against it, warning that if even Cheetah can be affected due to a [[{{Understatement}} little]] crisis of faith, then any number of other superhumans might also be rampaging. Wonder Woman is immediately sucker punched by Supergirl, who proclaims that Rao is dead and proves it's not just "{{human|aliens}}s" Diana has to be wary of. |
| 59 | * {{Love Interest|s}}: |
| 60 | ** Pre-Crisis and in the New 52 Universe to Diana. Also in adaptations centered on Wonder Woman, such as [[WesternAnimation/WonderWoman2009 the 2009 animated movie]]. |
| 61 | ** During George Perez's run, Steve was too old for the teenaged Diana; he and Etta Candy had a romantic relationship instead. |
| 62 | * GenerationXerox: Steve is not the first member of his family to be a daredevil pilot that ended up washed ashore on Themyscira, the first was his mother who ended up dying there helping the Amazons defend Doom's Doorway. |
| 63 | * GhostMemory: The version of Steve that was brought to Earth-One after the local Steve seemingly died a second time eventually gains the memories of the Earth-One Steve, who had not actually passed on but was trapped in Eros' mind until what was left of him merged with his multi-verse counterpart. Multi-Verse Steve's mind was already a mess, due to injuries sustained in his home dimension and false memories crafted by the Amazons without his or Diana's knowledge, so the merger actually made him feel like a more complete person. |
| 64 | * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Steve is usually a blond, humble, self sacrificing kind of fellow. |
| 65 | * TheHandler: During ''ComicBook/WonderWomanCharlesMoulton'' Wonder Woman was essentially an extremely unique asset/agent of the USAAF, who was given intel and missions by Steve. This was an odd case as she worked with the military and was someone Darnell would direct Steve to deliver missions to but, as Wonder Woman, wasn't technically on their payroll. Instead she was on their payroll as Diana Prince, Darnell's secretary, but it was implied Darnell and Trevor didn't know or pretended not to know about her identity. This may have had to do with her unorthodox methods, which included refusing to kill enemy agents. |
| 66 | * HappilyMarried: To Wonder Woman on the Earth-2 verse (Golden Age), he was the father of their daughter Lyta/the Fury. |
| 67 | * HoneyTrap: To Diana's displeasure, Steve has been playing this part since ''ComicBook/SensationComics'' #10 (1942) where he went on a number of dates with and acted the foolish drunk to "Dolly", an Axis spy. It's only occasionally but he does act as a date to get close to and feed misinformation to his targets. |
| 68 | * HumbleHero: Steve has shown to be a self-effacing person. |
| 69 | * {{Hunk}}: Seems most prominent in Wonder Woman's Rebirth run, you should see how many times he loses his shirt between issues. Yara Flor even calls him such in her private thoughts. |
| 70 | * ImprobableAimingSkills: Steve Trevor is a crack shot with his service weapon, and has been shooting chains off of imprisoned allies and similar feats since the early days of ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1942''. |
| 71 | * ImprobablePilotingSkills: Steve has lived up to his AcePilot status fairly spectacularly on multiple occasions including when having to pilot while his [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1987 co-pilot was possessed and on fire]], while in a plane crashing into the sea, and while in a plane [[ComicBook/TheLegendOfWonderWoman2016 being torn apart by being ripped betwixt dimensions]]. |
| 72 | * InnocentBlueEyes: He usually has blue eyes and is a gentleman. |
| 73 | * InterspeciesRomance: The main love interest of Wonder Woman. He's a BadassNormal human while she's an Amazon demigod. This doesn't apply to the Golden Age though, where Amazons are pretty much humans with SuperNaturalMartialArts. |
| 74 | * LivingMacGuffin: Was the reason why Diana left her island, Pre-Crisis. |
| 75 | * TheLostLenore: Was this to Wonder Woman during her "I-Ching" period. |
| 76 | * LoveAtFirstSight: In the Golden Age, Steve fell in love with Diana at first sight, though he was suffering from a concussion and also had the knowledge that she had just saved his life. His further interactions with his "Angel" only cemented his affections. |
| 77 | * LovesMyAlterEgo: Unlike many instances of the trope, he never suspected [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qYUf1jGTN_Q/TWGhWU198pI/AAAAAAAAA5g/wFDpa6nvafQ/s400/really.jpg Diana Prince]] was [[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nbfRFja-LUM/TWGhW0delrI/AAAAAAAAA5o/HVUNGgE_pZ0/s400/busy.jpg Wonder Woman]] until being told. |
| 78 | * MayflyDecemberRomance: An ordinary human who also happens to be an Air Force pilot and spy whose main love interest is an immortal Amazon warrior. |
| 79 | * MemoryWipeExploitation: When the Steve Trevor of Earth-One (seemingly) died a second time, Hippolyta sought out a version of him from the multiverse who had suffered brain damage due to injury and brought him over and implanted false memories and patched him up to appear to be the local Steve so that her daughter would not mourn him. |
| 80 | * MilitaryBrat: Steve grew up with two parents in the military, even though [=WASPs=] like his mother wouldn't be recognized as veterans until long after the service was disbanded. Steve himself is a noted Air Force pilot and military intelligence officer. |
| 81 | * MisplacedWildlife: ''The Impossible Day'' is kicked off when Steve Trevor finds a cave painting and complains about Wonder Woman, Wonder Girl, Wonder Tot, cavemen and dinosaurs all being in it, since none of these things should have existed at the same time. No one ever is able to figure it out, and it lead to the series of "Impossible Tales" that resulted in the PlotHole that Donna Troy was created to fill when a writer didn't realize they were all a big WhatIf joke. |
| 82 | * MrFanservice: Tall, blonde, muscular, and good-looking. Diana is a lucky woman. |
| 83 | * MuggleMageRomance: Him (an ordinary human) and Diana (an Amazon warrior blessed by Greek gods). |
| 84 | * NiceGuy: Steve is usually incredibly kind and humble. In ''ComicBook/TheLegendOfWonderWoman2016'' Lt. Trevor is such a genuinely kind, honorable, self-effacing guy that when a ritual was done to magically pull in an innocent to sacrifice, he was the one the magic grabbed. |
| 85 | * NoOneGetsLeftBehind: In the Golden Age Steve was usually on solo missions or paired up with Diana, but he absolutely refuses to leave anyone behind when on missions with larger groups. On missions to locate captured troops this has gotten him caught and/or injured on multiple occasions. |
| 86 | * TheOneGuy: He was the first man to visit Themyscira and is often the only man in a group in Wonder Woman stories. |
| 87 | * OneTrueLove: Wonder Woman's central love interest who she falls for in most media they're in. |
| 88 | * OvershadowedByAwesome: He ''could'' be a pretty good ActionHero of his own, but he just happens to have what might be the most powerful ActionGirlfriend in the entire DC Universe. |
| 89 | * PrettyBoy: Steve often gets comments in-universe about his attractive pretty features, though whether or not the artists get this across is another story. He becomes more ruggedly handsome over the years with his more "pretty" days tending to have been during WWII. In ''ComicBook/TheLegendOfWonderWoman2016'': Steve's pretty eyes and boyish charm are emphasised in this iteration, with newspapers even commenting on his pretty eyes. |
| 90 | * RaceLift: The "Earth One" comic storyline has him as an African-American man. |
| 91 | * RealMenCook: His original (Earth-Two) iteration does most of the cooking at their home after he and Diana get married. His food seems to be universally liked by the household and guests. |
| 92 | * RelationshipRevolvingDoor: He and Diana [[LoveEpiphany seem back together again]] in ComicBook/DCRebirth, but how long it lasts is up in the air. |
| 93 | * RidiculouslyAverageGuy: A few adaptions expand his DistressedDude to having no skills or special traits other than being the first man Diana had met. To the point that some characters wonders what does she sees in him. The Silver/Bronze Age was infamous for swapping Steve from useful to useless with each [[DependingOnTheWriter change in creative team]], when the new writer/editor didn't just kill him off. |
| 94 | * SecretIdentity: During the Bronze Age Aphrodite retrieved his soul and fashioned him a new body so Diana could be with him again. Since he had been dead for so long though, he died his hair and called himself Steve Howard in public. |
| 95 | * SelectiveObliviousness: Under Marston's pen Steve acting like he doesn't know "Di" and his "Angel" are one and the same is highly suspect, given he can recognize her by voice, can recognize her with her hair up, can recognize her with glasses on, regularly teases her about the similarities between the two and has called her by the wrong name while drugged or waking before taking note of what she's wearing. He maintains plausible deniability by never actually confronting her or confirming his "suspicions". Under later writers Steve seems to be legitimately clueless. |
| 96 | * SexyManInstantHarem: While most of the women besides Diana who show interest in Steve Trevor are people he'd lock in prison or shoot in the face before speaking to if he didn't have to play HoneyTrap to try to learn their plans the Holliday Girls pretty much all agree he'd delectable and spend a lot of time around him, even though they'd never make a move on him and he'd never reciprocate since they all know he's in love with Diana. |
| 97 | * ShirtlessCaptives: Steve loses his shirt a lot, and ends up captive without one rather often: |
| 98 | ** When Queen Clea captured Steve, Wonder Woman and the Holliday Girls she had him dressed in not but a loincloth before having him fight monsters in an arena for what she intended to be an amusing execution. He killed all her monsters and escaped alongside Diana instead. |
| 99 | ** When Giganta captured Steve after his mind had been thrown for a loop by Zool's malfunctioning evolution machine his shirt was nothing but tatters. |
| 100 | ** When the Saturnians nabbed all the men in the DC intelligence office after drugging them to sleep the next time Steve was seen he was in shorts and chains, and he and Wonder Woman broke each other's chains and freed all the slaves together. |
| 101 | ** When he tried to arrest Clea without knowing she'd teamed up with Giganta and was knocked out by the larger woman he woke to find himself bound to a stake with his clothing torn to bits. |
| 102 | * SingleTargetSexuality: While ComicBook/WonderWoman has had several boyfriends, and at least one girlfriend in most continuities Steve Trevor is interested in her and her alone, with exceptions being his post-Crisis [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1987 iteration]] who was interested in Etta Candy and Etta Candy alone and his AdaptationalJerkass New 52 iteration. |
| 103 | * TheSneakyGuy: Steve is quite good a scouting out an enemy fortification or hideout and then returning with the information without being noticed. As it's not his book though he usually finds that Diana's tactic of allowing herself to be captured and brought along by the bad guys has gotten her there first and on the rare occasions the villain has stumbled across a way of restraining her that is tricky for her to escape from he helps her out. In most modern stories, he's now a spy. |
| 104 | * SoleSurvivor: His rebirth incarnation was the only one to survive the crash onto Themyscira. |
| 105 | * StrongGirlSmartGuy: Zigzagged with Wonder Woman. Both are skilled fighters and neither one is dumb but Diana is the obvious powerhouse of the two while he's TheSneakyGuy. |
| 106 | * TalentedPrincessRegularGuy: Zigzagged with Wonder Woman. He's no ordinary guy, being an Air Force pilot and sometimes a spy but pales in comparison to Wondy's profile -- An immortal Amazon warrior princess with divine powers who goes on to be a famous superhero. |
| 107 | * TinyGuyHugeGirl: DependingOnTheArtist, as Diana can be seen as taller than Steven by an inch. |
| 108 | * TwoFirstNames: "Steve" and "Trevor" can both be first names. |
| 109 | * UndyingLoyalty: Steve has made it clear that he will follow Diana anywhere and will always trust her. |
| 110 | * UselessBoyfriend: Before ''Crisis On Infinite Earths'' he was this trope's poster boy. He ended up rescued by Wonder Woman as often as Lois Lane was by Superman [[DoubleStandard (which, of course, makes him no ]]''[[DoubleStandard more]]'' [[DoubleStandard "useless" than Lois,]] but [[DistressedDude sexist expectations are a thing).]] Eventually (pre-Infinite Crisis) they wrote him out of the series, even marrying him to Wonder Woman's female sidekick, Etta Candy. |
| 111 | * WorkingWithTheEx: With Diana in the ComicBook/{{Justice League|OfAmerica2013}} in the ComicBook/{{New 52}} Universe. |

| 124 | ->''"Woo Woo!"'' |
| 125 | -->--Etta's signature {{Catchphrase}} |
| 126 | |
| 127 | Etta is Diana's best friend and plucky sidekick in her many adventures. Generally, she is a [[TheLadette tough]], [[BigFun fun-loving]], [[FatAndProud proudly heavyset]] lady who loves to [[SweetTooth eat candy]] ([[PunnyName it's in her name, after all]]) and will always come to Wonder Woman's aid when needed. |
| 128 | |
| 129 | The character has received numerous interpretations over the years. Pre-Crisis, she was a college student who led the Holliday Girls, a sorority devoted to Wonder Woman. ComicBook/PostCrisis, she was married to Diana's original love interest Steve Trevor (and hyphenated her name to Etta Candy-Trevor) and is a snarky Air Force lieutenant colonel. Etta's current post-{{ComicBook/Flashpoint}} and [[ComicBook/DCRebirth Rebirth]] characterization is vastly rewritten, as a tough Black woman who works with Diana and Steve. |
| 130 | |
| 131 | Etta has appeared in numerous media over the years, most notably [[Series/WonderWoman1975 the 1975 television series]], where she was played by Beatrice Colen and [[Film/WonderWoman2017 the 2017 feature film]] where she was portrayed by Creator/LucyDavis. |
| 132 | ---- |
| 133 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: In DC Rebirth she's quick to forgive Barbara Minerva, who in this continuity was a mentally disturbed but mostly decent woman who was forced to become a super villain, and is even revealed to have dreams about Barbara secretly wanting to be her friend. However, Barabara unexpectedly kissing Candy was a step too far, even during the possible end of civilization as they knew it, and she warned Barbara to never do so again. |
| 134 | * ActionGirl: During the Golden Age she was this, being possibly the most capable non-superpowered fighter of Wonder Woman's supporting cast. When Robert Kanigher took over as writer he gradually turned her into a DamselInDistress instead. Other elements of this {{Chickification}} was later reverted Post-Crisis, during George Perez's reboot, where she's a military brat. |
| 135 | * AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the Golden Age Etta Candy was a boisterous overweight short woman, who loved a good fight and leapt at chances to beat up Nazis. In the Silver Age she was reimagined as a thin conventionally attractive woman who tended to end up a DamselInDistress. |
| 136 | * AdaptationalIntelligence: In the Golden Age, she wasn't known for her smarts but modern stories show her as a capable and smart military personnel. |
| 137 | * AdaptationalSexuality: Etta is strongly implied to be a lesbian, complete with some light {{Ship Teasing}} with the aforementioned Barbara. Etta was exclusively depicted as straight prior to this, and even ended up marrying Steve Trevor in the post-Crisis continuity. This also seems to be true of the alternate universe version of Etta from Creator/GrantMorrison's ''ComicBook/WonderWomanEarthOne'' graphic novels, who is ''very'' intrigued to learn about Themyscira. |
| 138 | -->'''Etta:''' So let me get this straight. You're from a paradise island of science fiction lesbians? With a side of bondage? Honey, I'll drink to that! Woo woo! |
| 139 | * AdaptationDyeJob: She had either red or blonde hair in the earlier comics. Now, she's shown as a brunette, due to being [[RaceLift African-American]]. |
| 140 | * AchillesHeel: DC Rebirth Etta Candy remains an effective intelligence and field officer with one glaring exception. If she has to travel long distances on foot her cardio proves to be subpar, especially if stairs are involved. |
| 141 | * AndThisIsFor: In Rebirth Wonder Woman recognizes that Plastique's attempt to murder her with a time bomb was NothingPersonal and is content to gently subdue Plastique, in spite of Plastique's continued efforts to capture/kill her, viewing Plastique as a non threat [[PunchClockVillain who must be desperate for money]]. Etta Candy [[{{Revenge}} doesn't give Wonder Woman the chance]], as that bomb could have easily killed most of her known family, had Etta's neice not discovered it and decided to show Wonder Woman what it was, having no idea that it was a deadly weapon, had Diana not immediately recognized it for what it was and [[JumpingOnAGrenade attempted to suppress the explosion]], [[ContrivedCoincidence had the resulting shockwaves]] from the explosion caused the building to collapse in a slightly different manner, and Etta is most upset that despite Wonder Woman's best efforts Plastique was still successful in ruining her brother's wedding. |
| 142 | * ArmChairMilitary: In DC Rebirth Steve Trevor gets anxious viewing the battlefield through a drone camera and admits he feels useless. Etta Candy scolds him, pointing out reconisence is as old as warfare itself and these tools make it even more useful. |
| 143 | * BadassNormal |
| 144 | ** When Creator/GailSimone is writing her, Post Crisis. She manages to effectively blackmail Director Steel with his substance abuse habits in one of her first appearances. |
| 145 | ** Rebirth Etta Candy has noted cardio issues, especially when it comes to stairs, but she still regularly exercises and has plenty of combat skill. Enough to beat the piss out of Plastique while still recovering from the life saving surgery Etta needed after being hit by the shock wave of one of Plastique's bombs. |
| 146 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: The Golden Age Etta is a short fat girl band geek, who is always carting around a box of candy and cracking jokes. She also has a long record of fighting Nazis and evil aliens while unarmed and winning, spying for the US Government, is a decent pilot, good shot, and is nearly as good with a lasso as Diana. People underestimate her constantly, which she uses gleefully to her advantage. |
| 147 | * BigBeautifulWoman: With a loving personality in spite of her rotund appearance, this is implied. |
| 148 | * BigEater: Due to having a sweet tooth. |
| 149 | * BigFun: Lovable overweight woman with a happy, bubbly and goofy personality. |
| 150 | * TheBigGuy: Golden Age. While Etta Candy was not the strongest nor biggest of the trio consisting of she Wondy and Steve that dealt with most villains, she was the one who would confidently charge in and fight rather than try for sneakiness like Steve or talking the villains down or pretending to be captured in order to learn more about their opponents. For this reason she was often kept back to charge in once Steve and Diana's attempts at a less violent solution failed. |
| 151 | * BoisterousBruiser: During the Golden Age. Combining a extroverted personality, comic relief and brawls. |
| 152 | * BrainyBrunette: Thanks to AdaptationDyeJob, Etta now has black hair and is someone with more knowledge in other fields. |
| 153 | * CatchPhrase: Whenever Etta became excited or agitated, she always shouted her trademark catch phrase "Woo-Woo!", which was later explained as a sorority thing. Readers in the 1940s would recognize this as a reference to the now-forgotten comedian Hugh Herbert. |
| 154 | * {{Chickification}}: When Robert Kanigher took over as writer after Marston's death a lot of her "non womanly" strengths were either downplayed or portrayed as flaws. When H. G. Peter died too Kanigher took the chance to retool Wonder Woman entirely (into what became her Earth-1 incarnation) and made Etta a conventionally 50's feminine (in both appearance and mannerism) DamselInDistress whose only remaining character trait was liking candy. |
| 155 | * ColonelBadass: George Perez and Gail Simone turned her into one. Greg Rucka reinserted it during ''Rebirth'', portraying Etta as having become Steve Trevor's superior by the modern day. |
| 156 | * {{Cowgirl}}: She's often depicted as one in the Golden Age, particularly in western-themed stories where she visits her family ranch in Texas, she's seen wearing a cowboy hat and boots. She also wore cowboy boots in ''ComicBook/SupermanAndBatmanGenerations'' and ''The Legend of Wonder Woman''. |
| 157 | * ADayInTheLimelight: While Etta Candy is a part of most Golden Age tales she's the main character of "Etta Candy and Her Holliday Girls: The Toothache" in which Diana only makes an appearance for a couple of panels and the story is focused on Etta. She's also the main character of "Etta Candy and her Holliday Girls: Hard Candy's Ranch", which Wondy doesn't even appear in. |
| 158 | * DeadpanSnarker: Etta will snark at every opportunity, and she delivers her snark with a straight face. Her favorite target is, and always has been, Steve Trevor, who never seems to adjust enough to expect it. |
| 159 | * DemotedToExtra: Though appearing less frequently in the Silver and Bronze Age, Etta was a recurring presence in Wonder Woman's supporting cast throughout both periods. |
| 160 | * DependingOnTheArtist: Etta's hair color has shifted back and forth from being red and blonde in her various (Pre-ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}}) appearances, while her height and weight are also subject to vary. |
| 161 | * DudeMagnet: Wondy's best friend off her home island—attracts quite a few male admirers mostly without trying or particularly caring, though she has dated a number of them. While she's not considered conventionally attractive she's buxom, outgoing, confident and a great fighter which many men have found attractive. |
| 162 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: Rebirth Etta Candy expresses confusion about why people want to come back to life and tells Diana of her plans to die broke and happy so that she'll never be tempted to. |
| 163 | * FatAndProud: Golden Age Etta Candy is quite plump and very happy with her body, being even more confident than Diana and calling out anyone who tries to get her to feel bad about the way she looks. Those who try to make ''fun'' of her for it are soundly decked. During the George Perez run, she has a mini-arc revolving around body image and she notes that Wonder Woman is an unrealistic physical ideal for her to pursue -- and being a soldier, she's also philosophically unrealistic for her, too. |
| 164 | * FatBestFriend: She was originally introduced as a Type A sidekick during the 1940s-1950s. She became more a Type B in the Silver Age, but has mostly been restored to her original personality in modern comics, with an alteration to her sexuality. |
| 165 | * FieryRedhead: In the early comics, Etta had orange hair and a outgoing personality. |
| 166 | * {{Foil}}: Rebirth Etta Candy has a much stronger PayEvilUntoEvil attitude than Diana, and would have gladly killed many of Diana's enemies if she had the power to. |
| 167 | * TheFriendlyTexan: Her original iteration was a Texan. |
| 168 | * GeniusBruiser: In recent works, Etta has shown to have advanced hand-to-hand combat and an expert tactician. |
| 169 | * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: In Post-Crisis, Legend of Wonder Woman and Earth One stories. |
| 170 | * TheLeader: Etta Candy is the leader of the Holliday Girls, a group of young women usually numbering at least 30 who hunt down and fight Nazi spies and aliens and look for missing persons when they're not busy with school or work. |
| 171 | * MeaningfulName: Etta ''Candy'' is a BigEater with a SweetTooth. |
| 172 | * MuggleBestFriend: Etta is a BadassNormal woman who is one of the closest friends to the SemiDivine superhero, Wonder Woman. |
| 173 | * NaziHunter: In the Golden comics, Etta hunted down Nazis. |
| 174 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: During the Golden Age. She was about half Wonder Woman's height, but could knock out groups of armed criminals/nazis with just her fists. |
| 175 | * PluckyComicRelief: In the Golden Age her primary role is to serve as the butt to jokes about her apetatite and the fact she is proudly overweight. Etta does prove to be a more useful sidekick to Wonder Woman than most, however. |
| 176 | %%* PluckyGirl |
| 177 | * ThePrankster: In UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks Etta was a notorious prankster who drove her college professors mad. She stepped back the number and intensity of her pranks when one on some freshmen nearly turned deadly. |
| 178 | * RaceLift: Post-Flashpoint, she was redesigned to be a thinner, black woman and modeled after Traci Thoms' appearance in [[Series/WonderWoman2011Pilot the rejected pilot]] for NBC. After ''Rebirth'', she returned to being well-built, but remained black. |
| 179 | * RealWomenHaveCurves: In the '40s Etta was notable for being not the slightest bit insecure, and frequently important to the plot; although still serving as PluckyComicRelief. Since the dawn of the Silver Age, her rare reappearances usually either depict her as insecure, or else emphasize her ability to take of herself status while slimming her down a fair bit. However, ''The Legend Of Wonder Woman'' miniseries has finally returned her original personality, with some modern polish that's actually quite appealing. During Perez's run, she started out overweight, but since she was a soldier, she decided to exercise more. Realistically, she didn't become slim; rather, she was [[https://www.writeups.org/wp-content/uploads/Etta-Candy-Trevor-DC-Comics-Wonder-Woman.jpg a stocky muscle girl]]. |
| 180 | * ReplacementGoldfish: Post-Crisis. Since the 1987 revamp, Etta has been romantically linked with, and eventually married to Steve Trevor, who is no longer Diana's love interest. |
| 181 | * {{Sidekick}}: Of Wonder Woman. Mostly in the Golden Age. |
| 182 | * SignatureInstrument: Etta Candy played a sousaphone as part of her disguises to remain BeneathSuspicion in the Golden Age. |
| 183 | * StoutStrength: Golden Age and Rebirth Etta Candy don't have the super human strength of even the "regular" amazons, much less Wonder Woman, but are nonetheless very strong by human standards, having plenty of muscle underneat their fat. Post Crisis Etta had more obvious musculature, but was still pretty stout. |
| 184 | * TheStrategist: Etta Candy was the strategist of the Holliday Girls, even on missions that included Wondy and Steve, since she was the best at coming up with plans that took advantage of each teammate's specialties and their numbers and was good at altering them to fit a changing situation on the fly. On the other hand Wondy's plans usually boiled down to letting herself get captured to figure out the bad guys. |
| 185 | * SuddenNameChange: Has had her middle name vary from being "Marie" to "Olive". In the ''Earth One'' story her name is changed to Beth instead. |
| 186 | * SweetTooth: As the name might suggest, Etta tends to love sugary food and drink. Her very first appearance has her eating a whole box of chocolate. Several adaptations give Wonder Woman a sweet tooth as well, to help speed up their friendship. |
| 187 | * WeightWoe: |
| 188 | ** In the Golden Age, when Diana had mentioned to Etta the benefits of losing weight, Etta had made a compromise with Diana. If she lost ten pounds and felt better about herself, she'd lose fifty more. By the story's end, Etta had lost her ten pounds but was unhappy, so she simply asked Diana for her candy back. |
| 189 | ** Post-Crisis under George Perez, she was overweight but being in the military, turned fat into muscle, resulting in a stocky frame. Post-George Perez, however, Etta suffered from anorexia for a while. Feeling insecure about her weight, Etta developed an eating disorder that was kept secret from her friends. She was able to lose 20 pounds, but at the expense of her health. When she finally collapsed due to a lack of food in front of Wonder Woman while trying on wedding gowns, Diana advised her to take better care of herself and maintain a sensible diet. Since that time Etta has gained her original weight back. |

| 204 | * LovableSexManiac: She and Bobby are quite into good looking boys, and Diana is concerned when they go on a mission with Steve Trevor that they're going to spend the whole time distracting him with their flirtations. Etta is nearly out of patience with listening to them go on about the various young men who they've gotten or plan to their paws on. |

| 219 | * BringIt: When brought before a fellow who fancies himself a modern Roman emperor who wants her to serve him or be fed to beasts she retorts ''"Any beast is a gentleman compared with you, you fat slob!"'' and when surrounded by foes who are hesitating to attack merrily tells them to ''"Come an inch nearer"'' so she can let them have it. |

| 221 | * DontCallMeSir: "Bobby" does not at all like to be called a "lady". Rather than just asking people not to call her such she'll argue that she is not one especially since men like to try to use it as an excuse to exclude and constrain her. |
| 222 | * IHaveBrothers: Bobby will sometimes resort to explaining she's gone on safari and gone hunting with her older brothers as an explanation for why she's a viable candidate for adventurous outings if her own abilities and explanation of her skills isn't enough to convince those in charge. This often works better for her than explaining that she has been trained in martial arts by Wonder Woman and has defeated numerous Nazis herself. |

| 241 | Identical triplets who joined the Holliday Girls. They were orphaned before reaching college age and raised by their grandmother, whose only surviving child is a greedy criminal son she doesn't care for and so she dotes on the mischievous girls. |
| 242 | ---- |
| 243 | * CoordinatedClothes: The girls wear matching clothes most of the time in order to switch easily with each other, though they're all wearing different colored similar dresses for a masquerade. |
| 244 | * DumbBlonde: Lillie and Millie are acknowledged to be reckless, foolish, and dangerously impulsive to the point that their grandmother leaves her estate only to the one of them who doesn't fit here as she feels Tillie will take care of her sisters with the money and that the other two will be better off that way than if she'd actually given them the money themselves. |
| 245 | * FinishingEachOthersSentences: Lillie and Millie regularly finish each other's sentences, and Tillie occasionally does the same but usually only with things they've practiced. |

The three are identical, wear matching outfits and get a kick of pulling twin switches, but only Lillie and Millie really act as one, to the point of speaking in unison, having the same phobias and reacting the same way to things even when they're in separate rooms. Tillie is actually much more practical, sarcastic and down to earth than her sisters. |
| 250 | * ThemeTwinNaming: Their names all have the same ending. |
| 251 | * TricksterTwins: Trickster ''triplets''. Their love of playing tricks on their classmates is part of why they fit in so well with the Holliday Girls, who are lead by notrious trickster Etta Candy. |
| 252 | * TwinBanter: The girls speak in unison and finish each other's sentances. They've acutally practiced this to help them with their pranks. |
| 253 | * TwinSwitch: Their favorite trick is posing as each other and ensuring no one can tell the three of them apart. Several of their professors require them to wear nametags to try to prevent this. |
| 254 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Lillie and Millie are terrified of ghosts, so of course the challenge/hazing they have to endure to join the Holliday Girls is a haunted house. |

Sometimes she expects a little much of Diana, who wasn't and wasn't expecting to become The Amazing Amazon again, but Diana always ends up trying something regardless. |

She later realizes it only worked because the extraterrestrial tech started modifying her hardware as soon as she managed to attach it to the motherboard's interface.

First her last name was forgotten and then she never appeared or was spoken about again in any book despite Cassie appearing all over the DCU. In her case it likely happened because Cassie's personality was given a swift and shallow makeover in ''Teen Titans'' that left no room for friends or concerns outside her boyfriend and her hair. |

After her husband David dies, Julia decides to back off of archaeology and settle down as a professor at Harvard, but she can't resist the pull of an expidition sometimes, and now has a Wonder Woman to call on if things go wrong. |

| 323 | * CunningLinguist: It ends up falling on Julia to make sense of what Diana is saying and teach Diana modern languages, starting with English. |
| 324 | * DivineIntervention: Julia Kapatelis would have died at a young age if not for the intervention of a sea Nymph, Thetis of the Nereids. Thetis used TimeTravel to hide that Julia had not only fallen overboard into the Aegean sea but had then been taken to the shores of Themyscira and introduced to the amazon Pythia. Hermes also arranges for Diana to meet Julia when Diana arrives in The United States. |
| 325 | * HarmfulToMinors: Julia lived through Greece's war with Fascist Italy and Greece's defeat and occupation by Nazi Germany, losing her brother to the latter. As such Julia handles the danger that comes from being associated with Wonder Woman quite well. However she finally snaps and wants nothing more to do with Diana after Vanessa is [[UnwillingRobotization converted into a killer cyborg]]. |

| 327 | * MinoredInAssKicking: Julia minored archeology actually, which became her primary profession after marrying her husband, who majored in it. Julia and David developed a love for rifle skeet shooting off the clock, however, and a hunting rifle is Julia's favorite weapon when she moves to defend herself and her own. |

| 352 | * HiddenDepths: Appears on the surface as a very shallow glory-seeking publicity agent looking to ride off Diana's fame as a superheroine but brings up many valid points about how Diana's image be used in altruistic ways. |
| 353 | ** She also proudly supported her brother coming out as gay and threatened to make a big stink in the media if her sister didn't invite him to her wedding. As well as also taking care of her Alzheimer's-afflicted father in later years even though he largely disowned her and couldn't even remember who she was. |
| 354 | * JewishAmericanPrincess: Seems on the surface to be a grown up version of one but is actually estranged from most of her family (save for her brother) who she never got along with well due to her boisterous and extravagant personality. |
| 355 | * [[MrViceGuy Ms Vice Girl]]: She means well, genuinely respects Wonder Woman, and fiercely supports downtrodden family members like her gay brother, but she presents herself as a shallow glory-seeking publicity agent, a massive jerkass to her employees, and as revealed later [[spoiler:a cocaine addict who slept with and fired various male workers and covered up a drug-peddling scandal in her business before dying from an overdose.]] |
| 356 | * MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler: Diana wasn't responsible for Myndi's drug overdose but her death via a drug overdose shook her to her core and would the years bring up her death as a sign of when she still young had much to learn]]. |
| 357 | * SmoothTalkingTalentAgent: A much more nuanced take on this trope. She launches a massive publicity campaign and merchandising empire in the name of spreading Diana's fame (and message of peace) across Man's World. While frequently tacky and egotistical, Myndi does legitimately like Diana as a person, and never willingly antagonizes her [[spoiler: before her sudden death via drug overdose]]. |

| 370 | A Russian cosmonaut Natasha Teranova was stranded on a malfunctioning space station when Wonder Woman was asked to rescue her in suspicious circumstances. After Wonder Woman arrived the mission was sabotaged and the two women were sent careening out of control through space where they were picked up and enslaved by the Sangtee Empire. |
| 371 | |
| 372 | Natasha becomes part of Diana's high command when she starts a [[SlaveLiberation slave revolt]] that leads to an all out rebellion that forces the Sangtee Empire to abolish slavery. |
| 373 | ---- |
| 374 | * ChildishToothGap: In one of her photos of her daughter Aleksis the girl is grinning to reveal she's missing two front teeth. |
| 375 | * GratuitousRussian: When Diana starts teaching her English her lines become mixtures of Russian and English as opposed to simply translated between brackets as before. |

| 377 | * MadeASlave: Natasha and Diana are forced into slavery by the Sangtee Empire. |

| 379 | * PirateGirl: Diana's whole space pirate/revolutionary crew is made up of women. They're granted clemency by the emperor after they win their revolution. |
| 380 | * PirateParrot: Natasha trains herself up "Yuri, the magic lizard", a creature that looks like a small dragon mixed with a salamander that has some protrusions reminiscent of feathers. He's not actually magic in the least, she just uses him during her little magic shows for the crew. |
| 381 | * SleightOfHandiness: Natasha uses her stage magic tricks to act as a decoy, allowing herself to be captured by Sangtee soldiers then slipping her bonds and sliding a hidden weapon out of her sleeve to defend herself with the same way she would a fake bouquet of flowers. |
| 382 | * StageMagician: Natasha practices stage magic and card tricks for fun, which comes in handy during the long days stranded in space and later as a bit of fun for the revolutionaries. |

| 396 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He's ridiculously calm about some of the crazier things Steve encounters and does, though perhaps Darnell realizes his "secretary" is actually Wonder Woman given just how often his commands make it seem like he's trying to allow her to go help Steve. |
| 397 | * TheStoic: He's serious and unruffled even with an enemy agent sitting on his desk threatening him, though given all the hints that he knows his secretary is Wonder Woman perhaps he feels he has no cause to be alarmed. |

Wonder Woman arrives and is able to save them, however. |
| 443 | * GlassCannon: She doesn't even have a fully developed bone structure and is unfit for getting directly involved in disaster scenarios.

| 497 | A blind old mystic who trained Diana in martial arts during a lengthy period when she had lost her powers. More recently, he has served as the mentor to [[Characters/SupermanSupportingCast Kenan Kong]], the People's Republic of China's "New Super-Man". |
| 498 | ---- |
| 499 | * AntagonisticOffspring: His daughter became an evil sorceress in [[Literature/FafhrdAndTheGrayMouser Nehwon,]] of all places. |
| 500 | * BoxingLessonsForSuperman: Trained Diana in martial arts when she had lost her superhuman powers. Eagerly, as he correctly believed Diana's amazon training would make her an ideal student. |
| 501 | * DramaticIrony: Diana is frustrated and embarrassed about her lack of progress with I-Ching's training while I-Ching himself thinks she is making remarkable progress and is most impressed with her discipline. |
| 502 | * DroppedABridgeOnHim: In Pre-Crisis days, he died in a senseless act of violence, shot by a crazed sniper shooting at bystanders, and dying in Diana's arms. He [[ComicBookDeath reappeared]] after the Post-Crisis reboot years later, however. As of Dark Crisis, the sixth or so event to "undo" ''Crisis On Infinte Earths'', Bronze Age and Rebirth I-Ching are still dead, while Post ''Crisis On Infinite Earths'' Ching is still alive. |
| 503 | * HandicappedBadass: An elderly mystic and martial arts master who is blind. |
| 504 | * IgnoredExpert: Diana keeps blowing him off in Volume 1 issue #186, convinced that she doesn't have time for small talk while Morgana is causing chaos in New York City. To be fair, I-Ching should have probably let Diana know he could do magic long before now, and also, Diana's lost the wisdom of Athena and thus has become a lot more brash than she was before. |
| 505 | * MagicalAsian: An old Chinese man who knows his way around supernatural stuff. |
| 506 | * MeaningfulName: He is, of course, named after the ''[[UsefulNotes/BaGua Book of Changes]].'' Decades later, Creator/GeneLuenYang writing ''ComicBook/NewSuperMan'' would establish that he and his brother All Yang are the [[AnthropomorphicPersonification living embodiments]] of the concept of Yin and Yang, a position which he then passed on to Kenan Kong. |
| 507 | * MentorArchetype: His role in pretty much any story where he appears. Besides Diana and Kenan, he also helped Superman in his conflict with the extradimensional Quarmerr during the [[ComicBook/KryptoniteNevermore Sand Superman saga]] (magic being one of Superman's major weaknesses). |
| 508 | * MisterExposition: If he's not mentoring, he'll be doing this. "Ah, this is clearly the mystical Talisman of ABC, from the Land of DEF, that can magically do GHI! We must protect it from evil!" or some such. |
| 509 | * MoveInTheFrozenTime: I-Ching is able to cast a counter spell on Morgana's [[TimeStandsStill Time Freeze]] but pretends to be under its affects anyway until Morgana decides to place Diana under it as well, convinced that "Diana's way" just isn't going to work. |
| 510 | * OldShame: Creator Denny O'Neil later said that he was proud of the character, but he dearly wished he'd come up with a [[UsefulNotes/BaGua less awkward name]]. |

| 520 | A witch from another world accidentally summoned to Earth by classmates of Cathy Perkins. She claims to be the daughter of the [[PublicDomainCharacter more famous]] Morgaine Le Fay. |
| 521 | ---- |
| 522 | * AmbiguouslyHuman: Morgana appears to be human, but has indeterminate parentage and does not come from Earth, like her alleged mother Morgaine Le Fay. While Morgana reveals Supergirl villain Zond is just a man in a stupid mask using Morgaine Le Fay's spell book to cause trouble, Morgana's own magic seems to be innate and a lot more powerful than anything that can be done with the book. |
| 523 | * BigEntrance: While exploring New York City for the first time Morgana charms a band to herald her every move. |
| 524 | * BigOlEyeBrows: They're also slightly darker than the rest of Morgana's hair, making them all the more noticeable. |
| 525 | * DudeMagnet: Morgana cast a love charm on an obsese New Yorker that causes men to flock to her. This unfortunately causes a crowd that gets in Diana's way. |
| 526 | * EnemyMine: Morgana becomes a friend of Diana and Supergirl's when she learns that they are also enemies of Zond and that he has been building up a power base on their planet. |
| 527 | * FadSuper: Diana throws together for Morgana what can be described as a modernist "update" on WitchClassic. Pointed where it would classically be round and round where it would be pointed. |
| 528 | * ForcedTransformation: Morgana first comes into conflict with Diana when Morgana turns Henry, a classmate of Diana's employee Cathy Perkins, into a frog to prevent Henry from performing a spell that would send her back home, as Morgana decides to explore Henry's world first. It's the one spell of Morgana's I-Ching can't undo, but a kiss from Henry's girlfriend ends up breaking it. |
| 529 | * FriendToAllLivingThings: Morgana has mood swings from causing havoc to ease boredom to legitimately trying make the lives of all around her better. Unfortunately, being unfamiliar with city life she causes chaos by freeing all the animals in a pet store while in one of her "good" moods. |
| 530 | * GladiatorGames: Morgana turns the streets of New York City into a giant Tourney Field with motorists being forced to hit each other with {{jousting lance}}s while hanging out of the windows of their vehicles. |
| 531 | * JustLikeRobinhood: As she explores New York City Morgana causes a riot by charming bank tellers to give away money in the streets to those who need it most. |
| 532 | * KindHeartedCatLover: Most of the time. Her pet Frimost's default form is a cat but he can become a hawk, rat or fly at will. |
| 533 | * KnowWhenToFoldEm: After I-Ching reveals he countered her TimeStandsStill spell, Morgana gives up and agrees to return from whence she came...after she gives Diana Prince one last parting kick to the jaw. |
| 534 | * KungFuWizard: Even without her magic Morgana is almost as skilled a wrestler as the Earth One Diana Prince, and manages to defeat her in hand to hand combat after [[ActuallyADoomBot using a magical double to determine]] Diana Prince's fighting style. |
| 535 | * MesACrowd: Morgana can create duplicates of herself that the {{depower}}ed Diana cannot tell from the real thing by sight, sound or touch. She uses one such double to learn Diana's fighting style [[ActuallyADoomBot and mocks Diana for thinking she's won.]] |
| 536 | * MobileMenace: Diana's out to get Morgana to undo a curse she put on a student named Henry, who accidentally summoned Morgana while thinking nothing in a $1.98 book could be real. Morgana proceeds to "poof" away whenever she gets bored of her current surroundings, however, and Diana only keeps track of her by all the chaos Morgana causes, due to Morgana's lack of understand of modern cities. That and the marching band Morgana is forcing to follow her around. |
| 537 | * OhMyGods: What her religion, if any is, isn't clear, her swears include "Blood of Banaal!" "By the sacred blood of Tetragrammaton!" and "By the britches of Beelzebub!" |
| 538 | * PartsUnknown: Where exactly Morgana is being summoned from was never specified. Morgana claims to be the daugher of Morgaine Le Fay, but that just raises further questions since Silver Age Morgain Le Fay definitely lived on Earth and Morgana is almost completely unfamiliar with the planet, coming from her own world with it's own separate timeline. |
| 539 | * RedheadInGreen: Morgana exclusively dressed in green dresses until Diana gives her a black minidress as a sort of payment for services. |
| 540 | * SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: It turns out Morgana is so irritable because she's been constantly time traveling in her world trying to find where/when Zond, a thief who stole one of Morgaine Le Fay's books, is hiding. When Diana reveals Zond is on Earth Morgana becomes a lot less hostile to her and even does a favor for Diana's frind Supergirl in gratitude. |
| 541 | * SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: Morgana's rumored to be the daughter of Morgaine Le Fay and so powerful her own legendary mother fears what an unchecked Morgana may do. Morgana for her part, backs these rumors up. Morgana also has dark red hair and light green eyes the same shade of her cat's. |
| 542 | * SmugSuper: Diana goads Morgana into helping her and Supergirl by claiming any magic user who could beat Supergirl might be more powerful than Morgana herself. Morgana is eager to educate Diana on what a real spell caster can do and even more so when she realizes she was after the man anyway. |
| 543 | * SquishyWizard: Morgana's ability to affect the world with magic is a lot more powerful than her physical body otherwise. It does not matter a whole lot though, as she encounters the Earth One Diana, after she lost her powers and before she's completed her training with I-Ching. Considering Morgana's cardiovascular shape, close quarters combat skill and the fact she's just as tall as Diana and Supergirl, the only person who really makes Morgana look "squishy" ''is'' Supergirl. |
| 544 | * TheMentallyDisturbed: I-Ching diagnoses Morgana with manic depressive disorder, lamenting that the psychological condition was discovered too late to adequately treat her. |
| 545 | * TheWorfEffect: She basically wreaks havok for an entire issue to show how powerful I-Ching's magic is when he nullifys her powers. However, I-Ching can't undo all of Morgana's spells, admitting that she's still more powerful than he is, in some ways. |
| 546 | * WhiteAndGreyMorality: Everything Morgana does in her initial appearance is either meant to be helpful, or be a temporary change for her own amusement. She proves more ignorant and immature than actively malicious. Then it turns out Morgana's after the same criminal Supergirl is and becomes friends with her and Diana. |
| 547 | * WhoDares: Basically Morgana's CatchPhrase, as she's never happy about being summoned to Earth. |

| 563 | Cassie Sandsmark was the president of the Wonder Woman fan club in Gateway City. When she actually met Wonder Woman, she was so enthusiastic that she took artifacts from her mother's museum to help Wonder Woman fight. Impressed with her bravery, the Gods granted her powers of her own. Cassie became leader of ComicBook/YoungJustice and the ComicBook/TeenTitans and she eventually discovered that Zeus was her father. |

| 565 | Her New 52 incarnation is the daughter of Wonder Woman's half-brother Lennox, and derives her powers from an ancient armor named the 'Silent Armor' related to the demon Trigon. This character's provenance is called into question by the reveal that the Olympians of the New 52 were fakes and implanted memories designed to hide the real Themyscira. |

| 577 | A Kythotaur who serves as the chef at the Themysciran Embassy. |
| 578 | ---- |
| 579 | * HisOwnWorstEnemy: He feels like being a minotaur is a curse, and even nearly dies aiding Diana in a quest for the chance to ask the gods to remove his curse, but he gets told it can't be removed as it's just what he is. After he realizes Dr. Anderson doesn't care that he's a minotaur he starts being less hard on himself. |
| 580 | * InsistentTerminology: He's sometimes called a minotaur, but since he's from Kythira he prefers to be called a Kythotaur. For the curious the original minotaur was the minotaur of Crete and it's species name did not reflect it's location but instead the king, Minos terming it the bull of Minos. |
| 581 | * InterspeciesRomance: He and Dr. Leslie Anderson, a human woman, fall in love. |
| 582 | * OurMinotaursAreDifferent: He is a Kythotaur, and built like his distant relation the Minotaur. The Minotaur resulted from cursed InterspeciesRomance, while Kythotaurs are a naturally evolved...''super''naturally evolved species. |
| 583 | * SupremeChef: He is a top quality chef with a specialty in vegetarian dishes. |

| 594 | Originally Fury was Hippolyta "Lyta" Trevor, the daughter of Earth II's Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor; she inherited all her mother's powers. Lyta adopted the identity of "The Fury", named after the Furies of mythology, and was one of the founding members of ComicBook/InfinityInc. Post-Crisis she was reinvented as the daughter of Helena Kosmatos (Young All Stars' Fury) and mother of the current [[ComicBook/TheSandman1989 Dream, Daniel Hall]]. Post Flashpoint, she again is Earth-2 Wonder Woman's daughter. |
| 595 | ---- |
| 596 | * AdaptationNameChange: In ''ComicBook/SupermanAndBatmanGenerations'' Steve and Diana's superhero daughter is named Stephanie Trevor instead of Hippolyta. |
| 597 | * ChildProdigy: Just like her mother Lyta turns out to be a prodigy in Amazon SupernaturalMartialArts and "Brain Power", capable of ''playfully'' lifting dozens of times her own weight as a child. |
| 598 | * DependingOnTheArtist: Officially Pre Crisis Earth Two Fury is supposed to be more musclar than her mother as a young adult, but good luck finding any art that shows it. |
| 599 | * {{Determinator}}: When her application to join the Justice Society of America was rejected she didn't skip a beat, and ended up founding ''ComicBook/InfinityInc'' alongside some other second generation heroes. |
| 600 | * TheEmpath: She can tell when those who have a close relationship with her are feeling pain. |
| 601 | * {{Expy}} |
| 602 | ** Fury is basically the Pre Crisis Earth Two counterpart of Donna Troy. This Earth Two ''does'' have a Donna Troy, but she is successfully saved by firefighters and adopted to a domestic family, having no connection to Wonder Woman and the amazons. On the New 52 version of Earth Two, Fury's first name ''is'' Donna instead of Lyta, and she has black hair like Diana...and Donna Troy. |
| 603 | ** Fury's first and most commonly worn outfit is based on the most common one worn by X-Men and The Avengers character Scarlet Witch. |
| 604 | * FashionableAsymmetry: Asymmetry tends to be the most noticeable aspect of Fury's costumes. |
| 605 | * HappilyMarried: To [[ComicBook/DoctorFate Hector Hall]], until his untimely demise. |
| 606 | * MasterOfNone: Fury is powerful compared to the average amazon but is much less so than Power Girl. Fury is strong but Hourman is stronger...[[HourOfPower for an hour]]. Fury can talk to other species of animal but Brainwave II has outright telepathy. Fury can glide on air currents but Jade, Obsidian and Northwind can fly. |
| 607 | * NotQuiteFlight: She learns to glide on air currents, something her mother cannot do, but her mother's Earth One counterpart can. |
| 608 | * OvershadowedByAwesome: Fury is one of the strongest amazons on Earth 2, but she's still a distant second to her mother, only being half as strong, fast and tough ''at best''. Faster than Mercury and stronger than Hercules she aint, and she doesn't have a magic lasso or invisible jet either. Unlike her biological mother Fury can glide on air currents, however. |
| 609 | * RetGone: The Fury who was the Daughter of Diana and Steve Trevor was erased by Crisis On Infinite Earths. Technically she's been brought back three to five times as several writers have penned tales reversing the events of the crisis, but no one has been interested in using the original Lyta Trevor. |

| 621 | * LawOfAlienNames: With even the standard -a tacked on the end to denote a female name. |
| 622 | * PirateGirl: Diana's whole pirate crew is made up of women, though they're given a pardon by the emperor after they win their revolution. She becomes the new captain after Diana returns home, but now she's part of an official check against the empire slipping back to practicing slavery and part of the empire's plan to return slaves to their home planets. |
| 623 | * ProudWarriorRaceGirl: She seems at first unapologetically devoted to Khund philosophy of might makes right and her dedication to a warrior lifestyle is an extension of her culture. |
| 624 | * SlaveLiberation: While Ectreba was not part of Diana's group that planned the initial revolt she was a huge part of its success, arming herself with large rocks to crush heads and helping hijack a Sangtee ship. |

| 635 | ---- |
| 636 | * AlienHair: She has thin strips growing in a sort of skirt on the back of her head in place of any hair. |
| 637 | * EccentricMentor: This only really becomes evident after their escape from slavery since she knew better than to mess around on the slave planet but once their free she really likes her pranks, including introducing Diana to the new hologram tech by making it look like they were being attacked by the Empire and getting a good laugh out of Diana taking a flying leap at the intangible holograms. |
| 638 | * GadgeteerGenius: H'Elgn is able to reverse engineer captured Sangtee tech to create holograms that can be projected across the star system, new weapons with more non-lethal applications, the ability to track Sangtee Empire ships and cloak their own ships from them and much more. |

| 645 | * TranslatorBuddy: She doesn't speak any earth languages but she and Diana are able to start understanding each other due to both of their large repertoires of known languages and Diana's ability to quickly pick up new ones.

| 656 | In the post-Flashpoint continuity where Diana is claimed to be Zeus' daughter he is son of Hippolyta and Zeus and Diana’s twin brother, sperated at birth. Not to be confused with Diana's twin sister Nubia, seperated at "birth" from earlier continuities. |
| 657 | ---- |
| 658 | * AlwaysSecondBest: Jason seems impossibly powerful at first, but then his dad Zeus shows up to defend him and Diana from Darkseid, and it turns out they've both got a long way to go before they can match dad. Darkseid then springs a trap he had prepared for Zeus, one Jason and Diana [[UnwittingPawn weren't worth triggering]]. |
| 659 | * AmbiguouslyBi: When Diana meets Jason she asks if he has a boyfriend, girlfriend, wife or husband. Jason merely replies that he has "lovers". It becomes less ambiguous, as Jason moves into Diana's apartment and hosts wild parties that prove he'll take [[ReallyGetsAround pretty much anyone who will have him]]. |
| 660 | * AnnoyingYoungerSibling: After realizing he was deceived by Grail, Jason decides to make amnends by moving in with Diana and helping her in anyway he can. On the battlefield he is just barely helpful, and in domestic life he is less than that to the point he genuinely angers his older sister. All the same, Diana is furious when her mind altered friend Vanessa Kapatelis nearly kills Jason, and genuienly sad when he moves out with an apology letter for being so useless. |
| 661 | * ArchEnemy: Jason's first true enemies were The Deep Six. Darkseid and King Best are arguably more powerful enemies, and The Dark Fates are undeniably so. Silver Swan came closer to killing him than she ever did, but Jason's most hated enemy is nonetheless Grail, who manipulated him into helping her kill his brother and father figure Hercules, and nearly did the same with his sister Diana. This is onesided, as Grail views Jason as insignificant and did not kill him in his sleep right away because Darkseid saw something in Jason worth saving. By constrast, Grail was all too eager to kill Hercules and Perseus in [[WorthyOpponent honorable battles]]. |
| 662 | * BlowYouAway: Jason has a particular affinity for "air". He is able to interfere with aerobic respiration in those around him, with up windstorms that tear down virtually all standing in his line of sight and raise up tsunamis purely from atmospheric activity. |
| 663 | * ConsummateLiar: Jason uses his armor to duplicate the mannerisms of Dolos, god of deception. With this he is able to fool Diana, five gods from the Dark Matter Multiverse and even three ''Fates'' from that same multiverse despite their ability to see the future. Luckily for Diana Jason's lying for her sake, determined to get the gods out of his multiverse and out of his sister's life. |
| 664 | * CurbstompBattle: The first fight between Diana and Jason is quick and onesided in Jason's favor. Their second fight is more of the same, only it's in Diana's favor, as without the element of surprise Jason's more combat applicable powers do not make up for his lack of combat skill and instincts. Getting brushed aside and nearly killed by Silver Swan, whom Diana has to save him from, is more than Jason's ego can take, and he decides to leave Diana's life so she has one less burden to carry. |
| 665 | * DrivenByEnvy: Glaucus and Hercules advised Jason not to use his demi god powers unless he absolutely had to, in order to avoid attention from the dangers of the DCU, JerkAssGods chief among them. Instead of learning from Hercules's story in particular Jason instead picked fights with pretty much every perceived threat he came across in order to prove he was just as capable as his WarriorPrincess sister Diana. This escalated in adulthood when Diana became the world famous Wonder Woman and culminated in Jason beating up Diana herself. |
| 666 | * ElementalShapeshifter: Jason can convert every molecule in his body into water vapor and other atmospheric gasses, temperature and pressure be damned. Doing so, Jason can even evade the supposedly AlwaysAccurateAttack that is Darkseid's Omega Effect. |
| 667 | * ExplainingYourPowersToTheEnemy: During his first meeting with Diana, Jason shifts the conversation away from his well being and lifestyle to what godly gifted powers she has that he might share. Diana happily tells them all, not yet realizing Jason is an enemy until he decides [[MasterOfNone she's really not that special]] and attacks. |
| 668 | * FakeDefector: Jason pretends to serve King Best and four other gods of The Dark Matter Multiverse in order to save his world from them. He later becomes a fake follower of Dark Matter Fates when they cross over into the know matter multiverse after Wonder Woman establishes a Themysicran Embassy and they [[HeroesActVillainsHinder dislike the reconcillation they forsee it sowing.]] |
| 669 | * FlyingBrick: Jason can fly in several different ways, but most commonly imitates Diana's, method and is capable of keeping pace with her. Jason was also strong enough to knock out The Minotaur with one punch as a child and has gotten into fights with New Gods without immediately being reduced to dust in the wind. |
| 670 | * GreenEyedMonster: Diana of Themyscira is the greatest warrior among a tribe of warriors. She goes on to represent them among an inferior world of mortals that she regularly defends from other worldly dangers as the beloved Wonder Woman. Jason is a fisherman who is not quite famous for almost stopping some sea monsters. He longs to be as loved as his sister. That is until [[CharacterDevelopment he learns to appreciate the love his family has for him]] through his sister. |
| 671 | * HappilyAdopted: "Happy" is a bit of a stretch, as Jason grew up resenting his sister growing up as a WarriorPrincess on an island populated by inhumanly powerful warriors while he came up as a nobody among mortal seamen, but Jason does love his father figures Glaucus and Heracles. |
| 672 | * HealingFactor: Jason passes out from blood and air loss after Silver Swan slits his throat, but then he wakes up with nothing but a scar on his neck. A scar that quickly starts to fade. |
| 673 | * HeelFaceTurn: He starts out as a petty rival to Diana but becomes her earnest supporter after seeing the depraved individuals she strives to protect the world from for himself. |
| 674 | * HeroOfAnotherStory: Jason has been picking fights with perceived threats as soon as he discoved he was gifted with supernatural powers as a demigod while Diana had been going on her own adventures. Jason's actions were rarely "heroic" however. After meeting Diana Jason has tasked himself with keeping gods and then [[GodOfGods Fates]] from the Dark Matter Multiverse out of ''his'' multiverse altogether and out of his sister's life in particular. |
| 675 | * HeroesFightBareHanded: Jason has been fighting monsters with little more than his closed fist since childhood. When he ''really'' wants something dead Jason grabs his spear, but for the most part Jason does not kill his enemies so he's usually got nothing in his hands. |
| 676 | * HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Jason legitimately had no prior knowledge of Darkseid, The Deep Six or Grail, so he can be forgiven for assuming the strange woman aiding him "against" stranger sea monsters was on his side. When he lead her to his brother Hercules to "borrow" some of his energy and she claimed Hercules's death was an accident though, Jason really should have caught on that something was wrong. It's not until Jason sees Darkseid and Grail going to work on Diana that he realizes she's going to die to and that Grail has been lying to him. |
| 677 | * ICallItVera: Jason owns a seemingly unbreakable spear modeled after the one wielded by goddess of the hunt Artemis. He calls it "Poly", after his mother. |
| 678 | * IncompletelyTrained: A ''sea'' god like Glaucus wasn't qualified to train a land walking demi god who won the SuperPowerLottery and had an affinity for ''air'' like Jason, and Hercules did not put too much effort into it, believing it would be better for Jason if Jason did not draw attention to himself. They did not even explain to Jason what his powers were, Jason figured out most of them on his own, and though his powers are impressive he proves to be far less effective in battle than his competently trained and more experienced sister Diana. |
| 679 | * InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Jason doesn't think Diana's powers are so wonderful compared to his own and eager to prove it at first. At the same time he believes Diana has earned the right to be called a Wonder Woman from the strength of her character, which he is unsure he'll show when put under pressure. |
| 680 | * {{IronicName}}: Jason, winner of the SuperPowerLottery and wrongful inheritor of an [[MySuitIsAlsoSuper equally super powered suit of armor]], is named after the ''least'' gifted member of the Argonauts. {{Justified|Trope}}, as only Myrina knew Jason was TheChosenOne at the time of Jason's birth and died before she could pass the information along. Working on the logic he was to be denied the "paradise" of Themyscira, "[[MeaningfulName Jason]]" would have been spot on. |
| 681 | * LegacySeeker: Jason is convinced Diana will leave behind a lasting legacy of greatness an initially fantasizes of doing so himself. After a few adventures involving hostile gods, a killer cyborg and peace hating Fates Jason only cares about taking care of his family, deciding that will be legacy enough. |
| 682 | * MeaningfulName: He betrays his more talented family member just like the man he was named after did. Luckily for ''this'' Jason, Diana of Themyscira is much more forgiving than Medea. This Jason is also far more remorseful. |
| 683 | * MundaneUtility: Jason primarily uses The Armor of Zeus, capable of duplicating one ability or attribute from ''any'' god in the Greco-Roman pantheon at a time...to make smarter decisions through the Wisdom of Athena, better descern the feelings of his family through the love of Hestia and mislead those that would harass his sister with the lying skills of Dolos. |
| 684 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Jason is forever remorseful for inadverdently helping Grail kill one of his father figures in Hercules and almost helping Darkseid subject Diana to the same fate. |
| 685 | * MySuitIsAlsoSuper: When Gods from the Dark Multiverse break into the multiverse we follow and start corrupting people suffering [[CrisisOfFaith crises of faith]], mostly driving them to kill Wonder Woman, Zeus sends Diana a special suit of armor that Jason accidentally intercepts. It lets him take on one attribute or ability from any one member of the Greco-Roman pantheon. He can take on Demeter's [[SuperPersistentPredator tracking ability]] or FertileFeet, but not both at once. Jason can also bolster demi-god powers he already has, like taking on the speed of Hermes to greatly out pace Diana, who he can already keep up with, or the strength of Heracles to increase his already great strength. What Jason can't do is convince the armor to let someone else use it, due to tampering form unspecified members of The Olympus Twelve who didn't want Diana to have it and were [[UnwittingPawn thrilled to see Jason get in the way.]] Realizing he is an idiot [[CosmicPlaything being played by forces beyond him]], Jason mainly spams "Wisdom Of Athena" in hopes he can make better decisions with it going forward. |
| 686 | * NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Hippolyta and Glaucus named Jason after the captain of the Argonauts. |
| 687 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Jason is younger than Diana, but he's still over a hundred years old, and while Diana looks like a fully mature woman he still looks like an older teen. |
| 688 | * ParentalAbandonment: Hippolyta gave Jason up for adoption, as to be expected of an Amazon, and Zeus is a legendary for having much greater interest in loving women than taking care of the children they produce. Zeus does arrive to save his son, when he learns Jason and Diana are being threatened by Darkseid, but he makes no effort to bond with or teach his son anything once that problem is resolved. Hippolyta does form a positive connection with Jason, but he still has to make the effort to seek her out first. |
| 689 | * PutOnABus: Jason initially envies the fame and acclaim his sister has earned, but once it's beaten into his head just how many enemies it has also earned her and how powerful some of them are Jason willingly exciles himself to the Dark Matter Multiverse to keep at least some of his hapless sisters foes away. He returns to Earth when The Dark Fates manage to start sabotaging Diana's peace making efforts, but is still providing [[CommutingOnABus most]] of his aide from a distance. |
| 690 | * RecklessSidekick: After Jason decides he's going to do everything he can to help Diana, he ends up hindering her just as much in the process. He doesn't just get in the way during fights and rescues either, but potentially compromises her apartment by inviting several stranger over. Jason becomes a HyperCompetentsidekick after gaining the Armor of Zeus, but he still feels shame for his blunders and wished Diana had gotten it instead. |
| 691 | * ShockAndAwe: Jason can generate electral currents in his body independent of his nervous system and electrocute people from miles away. |
| 692 | * SiblingRivalry: Jason is out to humble Diana and prove his worth to the world. He's not out to see her seriously harmed, however, and turns against Grail and Darkseid to save her, forgetting his rivalry in the process. |
| 693 | * SuccessfulSiblingSyndrome: Jason [[Myth/ClassicalMythology technically]] has several more successful siblings, but the shadow he is most bothered by is the one cast by his sister of the same mother, Diana of Themyscira. Jason is conflicted internally, both wishing for the chance to prove to the public he can be just as great as she is and terrified of the prospect of going through what she has. |
| 694 | * SuperBreath: Jason can store in and expell inhuman amounts of air from his lungs with the force of the worst wind storms. |
| 695 | * SuperToughness: Jason gets utterly thrashed by Diana in their second fight, but quickly returns to action with no lasting injuries. |
| 696 | * TheChosenOne: The Amazon Myrina sought out and seduced Darkseid for the purpose of giving birth to a child that could one day kill Darkseid and prevent the events of ''Amazons Attacked''. Then Hippolyta gave birth to Jason and Myrina realized her efforts were in vein, concluding ''he'' would be the one to save Themyscira rather than Grail. Jason indeed does come to fight against Darkseid, and Grail's existence just makes things harder for him. |
| 697 | * ThePoorlyChosenOne: When gods from the Dark Matter Multiverse [[DiabolusExMachina intrude into the multiverse]] his children live in, [[ExactWords due to a poorly worded prayer]] of Diana's, Zeus takes pity on her and fashions her a suit of armor that can duplicate an aspect of every god in the Greco-Roman pantheon, knowing the Dark Matter gods [[UnGratefulBastard won't be grateful to her giving them entry]]. Unfortunately Jason gets in the way as the Armor of Zeus is speeding towards Diana's posisition and unspecified members of The Olympus Twelve conspire to make sure the armor bonds to Jason and is bound to serving only Jason from then on out. By this point Jason has no delusions about Diana being more qualified for the armor, especially since [[CrapSackWorld the very existence]] of the [[CosmicFlaw Dark Matter Multiverse]] is the fault of [[GodIsFlawed The Monitors and The Hands]]. Diana's gaffe is something she was [[LockedOutOfTheLoop never warned about]] while Jason has made many more stupid mistakes that simply didn't cause as much damage because he was just lucky enough existence doesn't work that way. Unfortunately he can't give away the armor, so Jason has to use it to help Diana or let it go to waste. |
| 698 | * UnskilledButStrong: Jason's demi god powers are flat out superior to Diana's. Jason also claims to have been trained by Hercules, but after Diana observes him in battle a couple of times she becomes throghouly unimpressed and tasks Steve Trevor with [[BoxingLessonsForSuperman teaching Jason how to better defend himself]], as she is too preoccupied with the coming extirpation of Themyscira to do so herself. |
| 699 | * WeatherManipulation: Earth's weather is largely Jason's to command, particularly when it comes to the winds and to electrical activity. The liquid and solid aspects are harder for him to grasp. |
| 700 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Most of Jasons's familial and envy issues could have been solved by sending him to live with the Gargarean Tribe, as Amazons usually did in Myth/ClassicalMythology in the event they gave birth to a boy. But the Gargareans have barely existed throughout most of DC's publication history, and Rebirth has proven no different. |

| 727 | The daughter of Circe and Ares who was conceived when both the villains in question were posing as humans, Lyta is loved by both her parents but was taken to be raised by the Amazons after one of Circe's defeats. |
| 728 | ---- |
| 729 | * ChildrenAreInnocent: She doesn't like seeing her mom attack Wondy, but she also doesn't want her mom to get hurt. She's all-around a sweetheart who deeply cares for others in a huge contrast to her parents. |
| 730 | * DeflectorShields: She can block off Superman if she so chooses. |
| 731 | * EvilParentsWantGoodKids: Ares generally just wants his kids to be true to themselves but Circe wants to protect her daughter from her misdeeds, which serves Lyta just fine since she is a very kind soul at heart. |
| 732 | * HalfHumanHybrid: Circe is technically a human, though she's intrinsically tied to magic and immortal, and Ares is a Greek god. |
| 733 | * InSeriesNickname: Lyta, short for Hippolyta. |
| 734 | * MageMarksman: Lyta has some of her mother's magical powers and is trained in use of the bow and arrow. |
| 735 | * OneSteveLimit: She is one of three Hippolytas included on this very page and is a definite aversion. |
| 736 | * RetGone: As of ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}} and with the different histories of both Circe and Ares in ComicBook/New52 and ComicBook/DCRebirth, it is unlikely she exists in the new continuity. |
| 737 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: Taking after her father, she can seemingly sport red-eyes when she wishes. |
| 738 | * UnskilledButStrong: Lyta has been gifted with a lot more natural power than her mother, but she has neither Circe's skills in magic, knowledge in spells nor Circe's willingness to make deals with goddesses and devils to increase her power, making her much less effective in most combat situations. |

| 756 | ---- |
| 757 | * NoNeedForNames: By the time Diana meets her on the slave planet she's acting as "The Durlan", and seems to be part of the group of Durlans who forswore names after their genetics were scrambled in the Six-Minute War, keeping her form loose and tentacley and going by the "name" the entire subculture uses. She starts occasionally showing her true face when in private with Diana and the rest of her high command months after she's escaped slavery revealing she's not part of this group and her name is finally revealed to be Nol Lapp, though it's easy to miss since it's only used once. |

| 761 | * SlaveLiberation: Part of the group that helped plan Diana's initial slave revolt. |
| 762 | * WarriorPoet: Nol Lapp is a revolutionary and poet. The only piece of her poetry given to the reader is about getting revenge on the empire that enslaved her. Unfortunately for the reader there's some translation betwixt the original poetry and what is on page as Lapp is not writing in any earth languages. |

| 794 | ---- |
| 795 | * DefectorFromDecadence: Sakritt left the Dominators and their culture behind long before she was enslaved by the kreel, she even adopted her own name despite the Dominator stance of NoNeedForNames and talks about her people disparagingly on occasion with no desire to return to them. |

| 797 | * PirateGirl: Diana's whole pirate crew is made up of women, though they're given a pardon by the emperor after they win their revolution. She stays on as Ectreba's first mate when the crew becomes an official check against slavery in the Sangtee Empire and Diana returns to earth. |

| 806 | TropeCodifier for the BarbarianHero, created by Creator/RobertEHoward in 1932. In 2017, Dark Horse comics and DC had a [[{{Crossover}} cross-over]] miniseries written by Gail Simone, where an amnesiac Wonder Woman is transported to the Hyborian Age and meets the [[Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian World's Most Famous Barbarian.]] It was the last Conan comic Dark Horse published before the rights were bought back by Marvel, who previously had them from the 70s to the 90s. |
| 807 | ---- |
| 808 | * AlternateContinuity: The miniseries is this to both the main Wonder Woman and Conan books. |
| 809 | * BarbarianHero: It's Conan and this version is rather more heroic at his current age than in the Howard stories. |
| 810 | * ItWasAGift: Early in their relationship, Diana and Conan bickered amongst each other. They do become closer to the point, where when Diana had to return to the modern world and leave Conan to fight the crow demons alone, she gives him one of her bracelets and the golden lasso! Queen Hippolyta was very displeased about this, especially for a man who's been dead so far in the past that even Amazon magic had a hard time reaching his era. |
| 811 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Conan and Wonder Woman successfully rescue Yanna. Unfortunately for Conan, it turns out that during her travels she got married and has kids. Wonder Woman is sad for Conan, but Conan brushes this off. He's just happy to see that Yanna's alive and happy with her life, to him how could this be anything but a victory. |
| 812 | * LoveAtFirstSight: When Conan was 8, he and his blacksmith father went to a gathering of the tribes of Cimmeria. There he met Yanna, a mysterious little girl from an all-women tribe, and for him it was love at first sight. |
| 813 | * ReincarnationRomance: Once Yanna talked to Conan and wondered if there were echoes of their lives elsewhere. Diana wondered about this is too, when she returned to the modern world and sat in a cafe. While she was doing this, she bumps into a very big, long-haired FAMILIAR man in a business suit. Diana quickly asks if he wants to go out for a coffee and he agrees. |
| 814 | * TheLostLenore: When he was 12, he saw Yanna again and she stole his first kiss. When he found that she was running away from her tribe, he followed her. The pair would soon be set upon by bandits and Yanna had an UncertainDoom. Years later when Conan found Wonder Woman, he sees in her Yanna all grown up and is hoping it really is her. |
| 815 | * ThoroughlyMistakenIdentity: With her height, pale skin, black hair and blue eyes, Wonder Woman could be mistaken for a Cimmerian by the people of Hyborian Age. Conan is no exception as he believes she's his first love, Yanna. Wonder Woman may have amnesia, but she's not happy about him hovering over her all the time. |
| 816 | * TookALevelInKindness: After his encounter with Wonder Woman, those who know Conan remark that he's become much more cheerful and kinder. |
