Background / History

Diana was raised on Themyscira as Queen Hippolyta’s daughter. Believing herself to have been made from clay, she endured the scorn of other Amazons and trained relentlessly in archery, hunting, wrestling, and weaponry until she earned the title of Amazon Champion. She later learned that she was Zeus’s daughter, a revelation that left her alienated from Themyscira and contributed to her leaving the island. 141 164

During childhood, Diana was branded by witches associated with Hecate. Although the physical mark disappeared after she woke, she retained a curse-like Witchmark within her body that reacts violently to Hecate’s magic and may be used to control her. 164 166

A future incarnation of Diana travels to the early twenty-first century with Kara Zor-El and Hal Jordan, arriving before the Justice League’s formation. She identifies the abandoned Justice Society headquarters and insists their mission is to change something rather than simply fight Eric and Clark. 106 107

A younger Diana later escapes a forced marriage to Hades in the Underworld. Eric Kent saves her from Hades’s forces; despite initially suspecting him of working for Hades, she joins him to escape. Under the Lasso of Truth, Diana admits that she loves Hades but loves Eric more, publicly rejecting Hades’s claim over her. 160 161

When Diana returns to Themyscira with Eric, they find its Amazons—including Hippolyta—petrified. Diana recognizes the magic as related to her own Witchmark and vows to confront the culprit, even if it is Hecate. 164

Appearance

Diana is a tall, athletic Amazon with long black hair, a powerful build, and a distinctly warrior-like bearing. Her usual battle attire combines Greek-inspired armor with Amazonian weapons. 111 238

  • Red-and-gold Greek-style armor, often paired with a blue skirt 111 238
  • Golden star-shaped tiara or Starlight Tiara 111 294
  • Silver bracers on both wrists 111
  • Carries the Lasso of Truth, swords, shield, and Fire God’s Sword 233 238 358
  • Sometimes conceals her identity beneath a black robe or gray trench coat 120 164

Personality

Diana is proud, direct, and intensely competitive. Her upbringing taught her to seek excellence in every martial discipline, and she is especially drawn to one-on-one combat. Even when clearly outmatched by Eric, she refuses to concede defeat or stop sparring. 141 295

She values humanity and regards peace as a goal worth fighting for, though her methods can be uncompromising. Diana believes incompetent leadership harms ordinary people and accepts that peace may need to be secured through force. 284

Her devotion to Eric is one of her defining motivations. She promises to stand by him even if he wages war against the world, and later pledges that she will never leave him despite his fears of becoming a god. 279 499

Diana’s passion also makes her volatile. Stress over Eric’s condition and jealousy toward women close to him lead her to attack Mera and Catwoman, while her conflicts with Black Canary demonstrate a growing willingness to use lethal force against the Resistance. 408 478 489

Abilities & Skills

Amazon Physiology

Diana possesses superhuman strength, speed, durability, agility, and leaping ability as an Amazon warrior and Zeus’s daughter. She can fly, move at high speed, endure heavy impacts, and fight opponents with comparable superhuman abilities. 134 284 358
