WONDER WOMAN TIMELINE
(Post-Infinite Crisis/ NEW EARTH)
1200 B.C.- The Amazons of Themyscira were created by five Olympian goddesses who reincarnated the souls of women who died before their time from the womb of the Earth goddess, Gaea. This new race of women called Amazons were chosen by the goddesses to be teachers of equality, harmony and justice- the Ways of the Earth mother, Gaea. Under the leadership of 2 Queens, Hippolyta and her sister Antiope, the Amazons build their city-state in Greece called Themyscira.
Manipulated by the God of War- Ares and driven mad by the goddess Hera, Hercules challenges Queen Hippolyta who defeats him in hand to hand combat. Through trickery, Hercules is able to steal the "Girdle of Gaea" from Hippolyta. The magic girdle is what rendered Hippolyta and the Amazons invincible in battle. But without it, Hercules subjects them into slavery. But through the prayers of Hippolyta, they are freed by the Goddess Athena under the condition- that they must forever wear the manacles upon their wrists to remind them never to allow themselves to be deceived by evil men. The Amazons are then given a new home on an island Paradise and a new purpose- that the they make penance for their failures by forever guarding Doom's Doorway on Paradise Island and prevent the creatures from within from escaping into the world.
Hippolyte ( Ἱππολύτη )
But not all the Amazons followed Queen Hippolyta to Paradise island. Her sister, Queen Antiope's faction decided to renounce their loyalty to the Olympian gods and pursue Hercules and his men and exact their revenge. Hippolyta, whose 'Girdle of Gaea' was stolen by Hercules was given the 2nd Girdle of Gaea worn by Antiope. Hippolyta's Amazons are sunsequently granted immortality and build a brand new city on Paradise Island also called 'Themyscira." The descendants of Antiope's Amazons eventually become the violent and deadly Amazons of Bana Mighdall.
1940's
-Diana Trevor arrives on Themyscira , saves the Amazons and is regarded as an Amazon champion. Her American Flag jacket design is made an Amazonian Champion's coat of arms.
Twenty-Five Years Ago
-During a Hunter's moon, Diana is formed by Hippolyta from mystic clay derived from the clay that lines the caverns beneath Themyscira. After cutting her fingers and imprinting the clay figure's forehead with her blood, it is given life when it is infused with the spirit of the last Amazon from the womb of the Earth goddess- GAEA. Sent to the clay figure by the goddesses Artemis, Athena, Aphrodite, Demeter, and Hestia. The baby is named 'Diana' after the Amazon's savior from years before and given special powers by the five goddesses as well as Hermes who bequeathed her with Great Speed and the Power of Flight. Growing up on Themyscira, Diana is nurtured by the love a thousand mothers.
Thirteen Years Ago
- When Diana reached the age of 12, the Amazon Sorceress Magala used her magic and created a mystic twin to be Diana's playmate.
- But Dark Angel who is an old enemy of Hippolyta kidnaps Donna and places her in a state of suspended animation for years before being destroyed.
-On Themyscira, Magala & Diana thought the magic that created Donna simply disspated.
A Short time Ago (Silver Age timeline) -
Diana wins the contest and is awarded her armor, the Silver bracelets and the Lasso of truth.
She arrives in Man's world right after Superman & Batman and is called "Wonder Woman" based on her armor's stylized eagle emblem.
Like the Amazons of Themyscira, Diana's mystic twin is reincarnated in Man's world and reborn as Donna Hinckley, daughter of a cancer-stricken teenager who gave her up for adoption.
Donna unfortunately ends up in the clutches of a baby selling ring. But the furnace in the building they stayed in exploded and caught on fire killing all except Donna. Donna is then saved from the burning building by Rhea, Titan goddess who takes her to safety on their planet on New Cronus where she is nutured and named 'Troy'.
Donna is eventually returned to Earth and brought to Themyscira where she is raised and trained by the Amazons.
There, she is adopted by Queen Hippolyta as Diana's sister (unaware of their true connection at this point).
Inspired by Wonder Woman, Donna creates a heroic guise for herself as 'Wonder Girl' and travels to the outside world and forms the original Teen Titans with other young heroes. She also establishes a civilian guise for herself as Donna Troy.
Diana meets Superman & Batman for the first time and teams-up with them to fight Ra's Al Ghul and a renegade Amazon.
She subsequently helps form the Justice League of America w/ Superman, Batman & other heroes when they banded together to face the Appelaxian Aliens that attacked the Earth.
When Diana was temporarily incapacitated, transfigured into the Goddess of Truth and unable to continue as Wonder Woman, Hippolyte took over as the new Wonder Woman and became just as formidable and noble a hero as her daughter in her memberships with both the Justice League and the Justice Society.
Eventually, DIANA renounced her Godhood and resumed her role as the Original Wonder Woman.
Donna grows up and passes the mantle of "Wonder Girl" to Cassie Sandsmark, daughter of a mortal woman & the Olympian Zeus.
But Hippolyta did not completely stop operating as Wonder Woman despite Diana's return. She continued to travel Man's world and remained active with the Justice Society of America. Meanwhile Paradise Island became vulnerable when an ancient foe- Ariadne killed and possessed Magala while manipulating the increased tensions between the Themysciran and Bana Mighdall tribes.
A Civil War errupted and after Hippolyta, Diana & Donna put an end to it, the monarchy of Themyscira was abolished. A new Democracy emerged with a Parliamentary form of government with General Philippus as Chancellor. Soon after, the Amazons would again be drawn into conflict as the whole world is drawn into a war with an alien threat called Imperiex. This threat unified the two Amazon tribes. Hippolyta dies a hero's death as a Wonder Woman even as she fought along side Diana and other heroes.
Paradise Island was also destroyed when the Amazons willed the mystic island into blocking an energy tendril that threatened the earth. They did eventually win the conflict but with very large casualties. But due to the Amazons reconciliation and heroism, the Greek gods and Egyptian gods combined their powers to reinvigorate Themyscira. The Lansinarian technology was also incorporated into rebuilding and for the first time in three thousand years, the Amazons open Paradise Island to the universe where beings from all over creation can learn and exchange ideas, technology and spread peace.
But this newfound milestone would not last. A Deadly Artificial Intelligence Satellite called "Brother Eye" unleashed nanites that possessed ordinary people turning them hosts to an army of killer Androids called "Omacs". To make matters worse, beings from long lost Parallel worlds take advantage of the conflict and attempt to alter all reality by bringing back a multiverse oof Parallel worlds.
In Man's world Wonder Woman (Diana) is confronted by a former ally turned villain- Maxwell Lord a very powerful telepath. Max Lord had commandeered the Brother Eye Satellite systems as well as the Omacs and used them to try to destroy all metahumans. He eventually possessed Superman himself with his psionic powers and used him to try to kill Batman. But Diana saved Batman by battling Superman while trying to free him from Lord's control. When Diana used the lasso of truth on Lord and asked him how she can free Superman from his control...Max Lord said she'd have to kill him. With no other choice, Diana executed Maxwell Lord and was branded a murderer. But the World court found Diana NOT GUILTY of murder and it was proven that Lord's death was in self defense.
But the damage had been done and the Amazons' progress in opening Paradise Island to the world was cut short. During the Omac conflict, Wonder Woman asked the Amazons to retreat to the dimension of the gods to escape the destruction. A years later, Wonder Woman established a civilian identity to rebuild her life. Since her original mission failed, she was now free to redefine her role among humanity as Wonder Woman. With the help of Bruce (Batman) Wayne, She established the guise of Diana Prince and with Clark (Superman) Kent's suggestion- wore glasses to complete her new look.
As Agent Diana Prince, Wonder Woman works at DOMA-The Department of Metahuman Affairs with Tom Tresser, a.k.a. "Nemesis" and Sarge Steel.
After months of operating as an Agent for the Department of Metahuman Affairs, Diana Prince's cover was blown. But despite her partner Nemesis' (Tom Tresser) knowledge of this, he remained a faithful ally and friend against the likes of Circe, Captain Nazi and the monstrous creature, Genocide. During the course of these adventures, Diana relinquished her role as a champion of the Olympian Gods and decides to chart her own course and remain faithful to her own sense of justice and service to humanity as the people's champion instead.
Princess. Ambassador. Superheroine. Goddess of Truth. Diana of Themyscira has been all of them. But for the first time in her life, she now has an opportunity to discover who the woman is behind the "wonder".
