Characters
Diana -
Main article: Wonder Woman Although not named Wonder Girl, Diana was originally introduced as a girl in "All-Star Comics #8", 1941, and a back story in the Wonder Woman comic as a teen-aged Princess Diana of the Amazons in Wonder Woman v1 #23, May-June 1946, Written by William Moulton Marston and designed by H.G. Peter. For other uses, see Wonder Woman (disambiguation). ...

Dr. William Moulton Marston (May 9, 1893 – May 2, 1947) was a psychologist, feminist theorist, and comic book writer who created the Wonder Woman character with his wife Elizabeth Holloway Marston. ...
Wonder 'Girl' first appeared in Wonder Woman v1 April #105, 1958 "The Secret Origin Of Wonder Woman". In this revised 'Silver Age' origin it is assumed Diana was not created from clay and was born before the Amazons settled on Paradise Island as this story reveals, written by Robert Kanigher. Following this issue were several Wonder Girl adventures and years later an additional character, Wonder Tot, (Wonder Woman as a toddler), was also featured. Kanigher restored her original origin in 1966 as part of the 'Golden-Age Revision experiment'. Kanigher also created the Wonder Tot and later, The Wonder Family of characters during the 1950s and early to mid '60s. Robert Kanigher (June 18, 1915 - May 6, 2002) was a prolific comic book writer whose career spanned five decades. ...
Boy toddler Toddler is a common term for a a young child who is learning to walk or toddle,[1] generally considered to be the second stage of development after infancy and occurring predominantly during the ages of 12 to 36 months old. ...
From Wonder Woman #124 (August 1961) onwards, all three versions frequently appeared together in stories that were labelled "impossible tales," presented as films made by her mother, Queen Hippolyta, who had the power to splice together films of herself and Diana at different ages. However, by the time the Teen Titans made their first appearance, the characters of Wonder Girl and Wonder Woman had begun to diverge; Haney began writing Wonder Girl stories that took place in the same time period as those of Wonder Woman.
Bob Haney was developing a new junior team: The Teen Titans and used the Wonder Girl character that was depicted in the impossible tales, not realising it was in fact Diana at a different age. In 1968 the Amazons left this plane to another dimension to refresh their powers and magical abilities. Wonder Woman chose to remain behind and renounced her Amazon powers and heritage and became the mortal, Diana Prince. Readers questioned as to how Diana as a teenager could appear in the Teen Titans fully powered as well as appearing at a younger age. Finally in Teen Titans #22 it was revealed that it was not Diana, but Donna Troy (see below). The Teen Titans, also known as “The New Teen Titansâ€, “New Titansâ€, or “The Titansâ€, a DC Comics superhero team. ...
Donna Troy -
Donna made what is generally considered her first appearance in The Brave and the Bold #60 (July 1965), and was portrayed as a member of a junior Justice League consisting of Robin, Kid Flash and Aqualad. The young heroes joined together to battle wrong-doers as the Teen Titans. Donna Troy is a fictional character, a superheroine in the DC Universe. ...

There is some disagreement among fandom as to whether this should be considered the first appearance of the character Wonder Girl as a distinct "little sister" rather than merely Diana's younger self. As mentioned in the previous section, the characters of Wonder Woman & Wonder Girl had already begun to diverge in the Wonder Woman title.
The relationship between this Wonder Girl and the younger version of Wonder Woman was not fully explained at the time. In fact, Wonder Girl was referred to by the other Titans as "Wonder Girl" or "Wonder Chick" rather than by any other, more "personal" name, until Teen Titans #22. In that issue, the mystery of Wonder Girl's background was finally addressed in a story by Marv Wolfman and Gil Kane, in which it was explained that Wonder Girl was actually a non-Amazon orphan, rescued by Wonder Woman from an apartment building fire. Unable to find any parents or family for her, Wonder Woman brought her to Paradise Island, where she was eventually given Amazon powers by Paula's Purple Ray. The origin story ended with Wonder Girl making a new costume for herself, one unrelated to Wonder Woman's, & taking the civilian name "Donna Troy."
This origin was expanded and modified in later issues of The Teen Titans. From the late 1960s to the mid-1980s, Donna rarely appeared or was mentioned in the pages of Wonder Woman, & came to be thought of as part of the Teen Titans family of characters. For other uses, see Wonder Woman (disambiguation). ...
In the 1980s, due to the relaunch of Wonder Woman as a new character in a new series, & under the theory that Donna was more a Titans character than a Wonder Woman character, Donna was retconned into a character with no direct ties to the Amazons. In the story-line "Who Is Wonder Girl?", the Titans of Myth enlist Donna's aid, & tell her that they raised her after the Titan Rhea rescued her from a fire. Following victory in a cosmic battle, Donna gained new powers, growing into her role as a "Titan Seed." Since by this time she was a married woman, Donna changed her nom de guerre from Wonder Girl to Troia. This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ...
In Greek mythology, Rhea was the sister and wife of Cronus and the mother of many of the other major gods of the pantheon. ...
A pseudonym or allonym is a name (sometimes legally adopted, sometimes purely fictitious) used by an individual as an alternative to their birth name. ...
In the 1990s, Donna was reattached to the Wonder Woman mythos. In the new version of her origin, Magala (an Amazon sorceress) animated a mirror image of young Princess Diana, creating a mystic identical twin for Diana to play with. A few months after, the mystic twin was kidnapped by Dark Angel (who thought she had taken Diana). Dark Angel dispersed the girl's spirit across the multiverse, condemning her to live multiple lives, each one cut short by the Dark Angel at a moment of tragedy. Dark Angel is a DC Comics villain who battled Wonder Woman. ...
In at least one of these variant lives, Donna would become a superhero & encounter her grown sister, now Wonder Woman, & their mother Queen Hippolyta, without realizing who she really was or how she was related to them. For the Marvel Comics character, see: Hippolyta (Marvel Comics). ...
After that timeline ended with the death of her son, Diana & Hippolyta intervened to find what happened to their friend Donna. Donna finally defeated Dark Angel, destroying the evil entity and regaining her original Amazon powers, then returned to reality to continue her life from that point. Dark Angel is a DC Comics villain who battled Wonder Woman. ...
The 2005 mini-series The Return of Donna Troy revealed that Donna is actually an amalgam of every Donna Troy, who remembers all of her other incarnations. But this did not help make her origin story linear or accessible.
After the events of Infinite Crisis, Diana passed the mantle of Wonder Woman to Donna Troy. However, Diana continued to be the star of the book, & reclaimed the title of Wonder Woman in the first story arc of Wonder Woman vol. III. Infinite Crisis was a seven-issue limited series of comic books published by DC Comics, beginning in October of 2005. ...
As of the recent WONDER WOMAN ANNUAL(VOL.3)# 1, Donna had a new origin that combined the essential elements of her 3 variant origins. As it was shown in Wonder Woman Annual# 1:
Donna was born as PRINCESS DIANA's mystic twin through the help of Amazon sorceress Magala. Months later, an old enemy of Queen Hippolyte called DARK ANGEL kidnapped Donna thinking she was Diana. Donna was placed in suspended animation by Dark Angel for years and was eventually left to die in a burning building. But fate intervened and the now grown-up Diana came onto the scene as WONDER WOMAN and rescued Donna. She was brought back to Paradise Island where she received training from BOTH the Amazons & The Titans of Myth and years after followed DIANA into the outside world as WONDER GIRL and helped form the TEEN TITANS.
