Background / History
When Themyscira’s Oracle Stone showed Chu Men brutalizing Superman, Diana resolved to confront him. She entrusted the island’s defenses to Artemis, took the sword Magic-Breaker, and left without saying goodbye to her mother, Queen Hippolyta 25.
In Gotham, Diana gathered information before acting. She stopped Falcone enforcers from assaulting a shopkeeper, but her divine perception found no trace of Chu Men at the Iceberg Lounge 26 30. After witnessing him destroy LexCorp’s forces, she abandoned her plan to attack alone and returned to Bruce Wayne to help assemble allies 34 37.
A warning through her Lasso of Truth called Diana back to Themyscira before she could reach Barry Allen 42. There, an awakened Mother Box resisted Magic-Breaker and opened a rift for Steppenwolf. Diana used the Aegis to seal the rift, then warned Bruce that the Mother Box was broadcasting Earth’s location to Apokolips 45 46. She subsequently brought Victor Stone to the Batcave and argued against attacking Chu Men before preparing for the invasion 48 49.
Appearance
Diana wears red-and-blue armor and carries the Lasso of Truth, the Aegis, and Magic-Breaker 25.
- She wears Magic-Breaker in a sheath on her outer thigh 25.
- In Gotham, she conceals her armor beneath a black trench coat and baseball cap 30 37.
- She wears a red cape while speaking with Bruce from north of Gotham 27.
Personality
Diana is willing to confront threats directly, but does not mistake courage for a workable plan. She initially believes Superman’s restraint caused his defeat and vows not to hold back herself. After seeing Chu Men’s strength, she accepts that attacking him alone would be futile 25 30 34.
Her duty to Themyscira can override her immediate mission: she turns back from recruiting Barry when the island’s ancient seal is threatened. In the Batcave, she challenges Bruce’s plan to fight Chu Men first, citing both the approaching invasion and the limits of her own weapon 42 49.
Abilities & Skills
