The Queen of the Amazons, Hyppolita had a daughter with Zeus and named her Diana, she trained with her aunt Antiope at an incredible fast rate and she developed unusual abilities like superstrength and superspeed. Around the same time Circe, the daughter of Helios and the nymph Perseis, grew up among Amazons and was outcasted for being a sorceress. In the present day, Diana is training along side two other great amazons, Nubia and Artemis, when a U.S. Pilot named Steve Trevor crashes in the island. Diana saves him, but the rest of the amazons get defensive since men are not allowed in there. Circe finds a prophecy that claims Hyppolita's daughter will be her doom. Diana senses good in Steve so she decides to get him back home, knowing that this would get her exiled. When they get to "Man's Land" Diana meets Steve's assistant Etta Candy who gives her the name of Diana Prince and she also starts helping people with the name Wonder Woman.
