8!!Diana of Themyscira / ComicBook/WonderWoman
9
10A princess of Themyscira with a desire to leave for Man's world.
11----
12* ActionGirl: [[ComicBook/WonderWoman Well, duh]].
13* ActionHeroine: The most iconic.
14* AdaptationalCurves: Similar to ''ComicBook/DCTheNewFrontier'', Diana is drawn with a "fuller" and stockier figure than we traditionally see, making her more physically imposing than most of her mainstream counterparts.
15* ArtificialHuman: Diana grew up believing this of herself [[spoiler:until Hippolyta reveals that she is the daughter of Hercules, instead of a clay figure given life.]]
16* BenevolentDictator: [[spoiler:By the end of Vol. 3, she has decided that Man's World is in need of re-education through "loving submission" and forms a powerful, eternal dynasty with her Amazon sisters. However, Diana is still her fundamentally good self and her empowerment of women over men is largely portrayed as a positive necessity for the future of humanity.]]
17* ChildByRape: [[spoiler:Between Hippolyta and Hercules.]]
18* HazyFeelTurn: [[spoiler:After enduring so much tragedy and finally killing Ares, Volume 3 ends with Diana leading a revolution to dethrone the patriarchy and form a matriarchal hegemony over Man's World, driven by her ideology of "loving submission". 1,000 years later, Diana's dynasty is still in power, with men domesticated under the thrall of women across the globe. Troublingly, male dissidents are taken away for "re-education". The comic itself does not present this turn of events in an explicitly negative light, instead letting the reader form their own conclusions about whether Diana's conquest is justified.]]
19* LaserGuidedTykeBomb: [[spoiler:What Diana was originally intended to be by Hippolyta, against man's world. She changed her mind.]]
20* MostCommonSuperpower: Diana's a very well-endowed woman and can lift a tank without breaking a sweat.
21* MsFanservice: Diana is undoubtedly this, especially since this universe is HotterAndSexier than her mainstream comics.
22* ThePowerOfLove: Like most incarnations, Diana is a firm advocate for love, peace and female empowerment as the solutions to all of the world's problems.
23* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: She is approximately 3,000 years old.
24* WarriorPrincess: Princess of the Amazons.

27[[folder:Beth Candy]]
28!!Elizabeth "Beth" Candy
29
30Diana's friend in man's world, a human.
31----
32* AdaptationalDyeJob: She's usually depicted as a redhead, while the New 52 and Rebirth versions gave her black hair (in addition to [[RaceLift making her African-American]]). Here she's a blonde (and also in Post-Crisis/pre-New 52).
33* AdaptationalNameChange: "Beth" instead of Etta.
34* BigBeautifulWoman: In-Universe, she loves herself the way she is, but the Amazons don't (except for Hippolyta, who was quite amused by her character).
35* BigEater: It's implied that she ate most of the food for a "Feed the Hunger" mixer.
36* ComicBookFantasyCasting: She's modeled after Creator/RebelWilson.
37* InnocentBlueEyes: To go with her [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold perky attitude and blonde hair]].

39
40[[folder:Steve Trevor]]
41!!Steve Trevor
42
43An African American pilot during the 21st Century who aids Diana.
44----
45* RaceLift: Steve Trevor is African-American rather than Caucasian. This actually ends up affecting his character. When [[spoiler:he's questioned during Diana's trial]], Steve says that his ancestors being slaves is why he [[spoiler:lied to his higher ups in the military]].
46[[/folder]]
47
48!!Supporting Cast
49
50[[folder:Artemis]]
51!!Artemis
52
53The leader of the New Sparta tribe of Amazons who reside in the forests of Paradise Island.
54----
55* AdaptationalNationality: Similar to ''WesternAnimation/WonderWoman2009'', she's shown as an inhabitant of Paradise Island but comes from a separate tribe called "New Sparta" that resides on a different part of the island.
56* AdaptationalSexuality: The first continuity where she and Diana are shown attracted to one another, she makes out with Diana in the third volume.
57* AscendedExtra: She's just another Amazon in the crowd in the first book but is a prominent supporting character in the third volume.
58* FieryRedhead: As always. Her first appearance in volume 3 is challenging Diana's right to rule via a duel, when she loses she says it was a SecretTestOfCharacter.
59* RaceLift: Mainstream Artemis is usually depicted with a white/fair-skin tone, she is drawn here with brown skin.

61
62[[folder:Hippolyta]]
63!!Hippolyta
64[[quoteright:399:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_9875.jpeg]]
65
66Queen of the Amazons and mother of Diana.
67----
68* AbdicateTheThrone: She tried to give up her crown at the end of the first volume, partially out of guilt for keeping a big secret from her daughter, but her subjects explained that she can't.
69* DoesNotLikeMen: To a murderous degree. Thanks to Hercules she and the Amazons think that all men, even the "tame" ones, are cruel monsters who seek only to subjugate women at heart. In fact her whole reason for having Diana was to commit gendercide against them only to abandon it when she grew to love Diana as a daughter. When Steve crash lands on the island she orders his death and sends Medusa after him when Diana takes him back to the outside world, while giving her permission to petrify any other man along the way.
70* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler: She didn't realize how the Amazonian brainwashing would affect Paula, who's immersed in her Nazi indoctrination. This eventually led to her death by Paula's hands, literally.]]
71* NeckSnap: She killed Hercules this way. [[AssholeVictim He deserved it]].
72* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Far older than Diana, at least.
73* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: As long as men aren't involved she's a pretty reasonable person and a good ruler.
74* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: As a warrior queen. She killed Hercules, for example.
75[[/folder]]
76
77[[folder:Mala]]
78!!Mala
79[[quoteright:362:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_9153.jpeg]]
80
81Former champion of the Amazons and lover of Diana.
82----
83* AdaptationalJerkass: The Mala of the main DCU is a sweetheart who loves competition, and holds no resentment towards those who legitimately defeat her. She also has no problem with men.
84* AlphaBitch: At least, that's what Elizabeth considers her when they meet.
85* FemaleMisogynist: Above other Amazons, especially to the Holliday Girls.
86* MeaningfulName: "Mala" is the feminine form of the word "mal," which is Spanish for bad, which could also be as a noun (ella es una mala/she is a bad girl/woman). Quite a fitting name for a {{Jerkass}} Amazon.
87* PromotedToLoveInterest: She and Diana had no romance in the original comics, and she supported Diana's relationship with Steve.
88* PsychoExGirlfriend: [[spoiler:Mala takes Diana's "defection" to Man's world the hardest.]]
89* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: She hasn't appeared in Volume 2. She's presumably still bitter at Diana for leaving the island. Though she returned in Volume 3.

91
92!!Antagonists
93
94[[folder:Hercules]]
95!!Hercules
96
97The PredecessorVillain of Themyscira, and the reason for their misandrist attitudes.
98----
99* AdaptationalVillainy: Pre-N52 Hercules suffered from DeliberateValuesDissonance but he did ''try'' to be a hero [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor sometimes]]. This guy was just a dick.
100* AllAmazonsWantHercules: InvertedTrope as much as possible. The Amazons ''hate'' Hercules and as a result, all men.
101* NeckSnap: The method of his death, courtesy of Hippolyta.
102* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Hercules was an absolute monster to Hippolyta and had zero respect for women or their consent.
103* PredecessorVillain: He was killed long ago by Hippolyta, but his actions leave a mark on Themysciran society thereafter.
104* RelatedInTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:He's Diana's father.]]
105[[/folder]]
106
107[[folder:Medusa]]
108!!Medusa
109
110The famous Gorgon of Myth/ClassicalMythology.
111----
112* TakenForGranite: As per usual, eye contact results in someone being turned to stone.
113[[/folder]]
114
115[[folder:Leon Zeiko/Dr. Psycho]]
116!!Leon Zeiko/Dr. Psycho
117
118Dr. Leon Zeiko is. was a theater director whose skills in the field of hypnosis and neurolinguistics. He was hired by Maxwell Lord to manipulate Diana.
119----
120* AdaptationNameChange: His name is Leon Zeiko, not Edger Cizko.
121* AdaptationalAttractiveness: As opposed to the short ugly little person Dr. Psycho is normally portrayed as, this version is a regular sized handsome, man.
122* AdaptationalWimp: In other verisons Dr. Psycho is a telepath, here he's just a regular guy skilled in neurolinguistics and manipulation. But it proves very effective against Wonder Woman when he tricks her into letting him wrap her lasso around her to implant phrases into her head that impact her speak.
123* AlasPoorVillain: Despite what he did to her, Diana is not happy to see how he's reduced to a pet on Venus.
124* BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood: He was subject to this on Venus.
125* ComicBookFantasyCasting: He is visually based on Music/NickCave of all people (who, although some of his work has been accused of being misogynistic, certainly isn't a Mens' Rights dude).
126* HeelFaceTurn: Offscreen, he was eventually released from Venus and reunited with his wife Marva.
127* JerkassHasAPoint: A misogynistic bastard he is, he is right when pointing out to Diana the faults in her peoples submissive ideology.
128* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He thinks women are as easy to train as cats and dogs and considers the Amazons a threat to masculinity. He uses his manipulations to con women and gives advice on how to do so to other men online using the web-name "Dr. Psycho."
129* PoorCommunicationKills: Not himself but a utilizer of this: Using his manipulations and brainwashing on Diana, he manipulates her to use phrases in her speech to the U.S. to make it seem like her people were declaring war.

132[[folder:Maxwell Lord]]

138----
139* AdaptationalWimp: [[spoiler:Normally Ares is a physical god who can go toe to toe with Diana. Here his powers are limited and has to face the amazons using a mech. He is subsequently killed when Diana destroys it.]]
140* ArchnemesisDad: [[spoiler:He was this to Hippolyta and later his grandaughter]].
141* CompositeCharacter: He turns out to have a dual identity, both of whom are established Wonder Woman enemies in mainstream DC canon.

150* TheBaroness: A beautiful, ultraviolent villainess and literally a Baroness by birth.
151* IfICantHaveYou: Her [[spoiler:killing of Hippolyta]] is partly influenced by Dr. Psycho, but also by her unrequited love for both Hippolyta and Diana.
152* MoreThanMindControl: Even before her meeting with Hippolyta, she was driven by the desire to find a cause to submit to.
