Diana Prince -

Diana's birth is as extraordinary as her powers. In her classic origin, Queen Hippolyta fashioned a child out of clay on the shores of Themyscira, and the Greek goddess Aphrodite breathed life into her. Gifted with the strength of Demeter, the speed of Hermes, and the wisdom of Athena, she was raised in a paradise of warrior women, away from the influence of man.

The legendary Amazon Princess, Diana of Themyscira—better known to the world as —is far more than just a secret identity; she is a global symbol of truth, justice, and the enduring power of love. Since her first appearance in All Star Comics #8 in 1941, she has evolved from a secretary for the Justice League into the "Heart of DC," bridging the gap between the divine realm of the gods and the complex world of humanity.

She adopted the name in 1942 after meeting a nurse of the same name who wished to travel to South America to be with her fiancé. Wonder Woman assumed the nurse's identity to remain close to the hospitalized Steve Trevor, marking the beginning of her long history as a government agent and metahuman researcher.
