Suggested by melonius

Ancient sorceress Circe is accidentally freed from her mystical prison by Barbara Ann Minerva, a former friend of Diana Prince’s, desperate to regain her Cheetah powers. Empowered by Circe, Barbara becomes her enforcer as Circe unleashes chaos across the world, warping reality to build a new magical matriarchy. As cities fall and myth bleeds into reality, Diana struggles to stop the onslaught while confronting her own sense of isolation and failure. After a brutal clash with Cheetah and a journey of reflection on Themyscira, Diana returns not just as a warrior but as an empathic equal. In a final battle atop a mythic temple, she appeals to Barbara’s humanity and uses the Lasso of Truth to force Circe to confront her own pain, leading the sorceress to surrender and return willingly to exile, restoring balance to the world.
