Background / History
Diana spent more than five thousand years on Themyscira, knowing only its Amazon warriors and no men from the outside world. She is the daughter of Queen Hippolyta and Zeus, making her the last remaining demigod of her age. Although Hippolyta forbade her from sword training, General Antiope secretly trained her from childhood and believed Diana was destined to confront Ares. 315 317 318
In 1916, Diana met Leon Stark after he accidentally arrived on Themyscira. Curious, physically uninhibited, and unfamiliar with outside-world customs, she was immediately fascinated by him and by the existence of men, flight, and other worlds. Upon learning of the world war and poison-gas project, she concluded that Ares was responsible and insisted that humanity had to be protected. 315 317
Leon exposed her heritage as Zeus's daughter and brought Ares to Themyscira. During their battle, Leon used powerful illusions to make Diana believe Antiope, Hippolyta, and the Amazons had died. The manufactured grief awakened her divine power enough to defeat Ares; Leon then revealed that he had saved everyone. 318 319 320 321
Diana began a relationship with Leon before he left to seek Superman in the future. Rather than abandon Hippolyta and the Amazons for decades, she remained on Themyscira and waited for Leon to return. He fulfilled his promise ninety years later, after which Diana chose to leave the island with him and see the human world for herself. 321 335 336 338 339
During the World Reboot, Leon evacuated Diana, Hippolyta, and the Amazons into his Inner World rather than allow them to be erased. Diana later followed Leon to the Marvel Universe, helped relocate Themyscira to Kamar-Taj's Small World, and argued for the Amazons to remain protected without returning to total isolation. 343 349 374 375 376
Appearance
Diana is a beautiful, athletic Amazon woman with long dark hair, wheat-colored skin, and a notably muscular physique. Leon compares her rustic, dashing appearance to a Valkyrie from an ancient Greek tribe. 315 340
- Initially wears a leather chest wrap, short skirt, iron boots, and Amazon leather armor. 315 337
- Has long, powerful legs and a physique shaped by Amazon training. 315
- After becoming a True God, her red-and-blue armor transforms into a dark-gold divine battle suit, from tiara to knee guards. 348
Personality
Diana is compassionate, direct, and idealistic. Before ever seeing humanity, she insists that its people are “kind, loyal, and beautiful,” and refuses to accept Ares's belief that mankind deserves destruction. Her innocence stems from Themyscira's isolation rather than ignorance of duty; she consistently chooses to protect others even when she is frightened or outmatched. 317 319 320
Her early trust in Leon is immediate and sometimes naïve, but her ordeal against Ares gives her a stronger appreciation of family, loss, and responsibility. She later shows greater maturity by choosing to remain with her family rather than follow Leon through time, then by persuading Hippolyta that Themyscira must adapt and stay connected to the wider world. 318 321 375
Diana is emotionally open and fiercely protective of those she loves. She openly claims Leon when other Amazons flirt with him, shields him from Darkseid's Omega Beams, and is quick to criticize him when she believes he is treating another woman badly. 338 364 378
