In the wake of DC’s new mobile game DC Unchained and upcoming cinematic projects for DC comics, let’s explore the different origins of some of DC universe’s most iconic characters as well as the ones that haven’t made it to the big screens!
▍Wonder Woman – Diana Prince
Amazonian Princess, Daughter of Queen of Hippolyta. In the original origins for Wonder Woman, she was molded from clay by Queen Hippolyta and given life by the gods, she was gifted with blessings from other greek pantheons “as beautiful as Aphrodite, wise as Athena, swifter than Hermes, and Stronger than Hercules.”
Wonder Woman’s origin story was revamped in The New 52 era, instead of being a clay figure given life by the gods, she is revealed as the secret daughter of Queen Hippolyta and Zeus. Her original origin is explained to be a cover story to prevent her from the wrath of Hera, wife of Zeus.
In the current DC Rebirth era, Wonder Woman’s origin story stays the same as the New 52 version, however, it is revealed that she has a twin brother, Jason.
Despite the changes in her origin, Wonder Woman’s powers have stayed more or less the same. Trained at a young age to be an Amazonian warrior, Wonder Woman is one of the strongest fighters in the DC universe.
In the game DC Unchained, Wonder Woman is a power type character. Her unique skill “Princess of Themyscira” regenerates SP and EX per second when hero skin is used. as a team member, her unique skill increases Attack Power of all allies if the area is Nature, Xeno or Religious.

Wonder Woman has great crowd control abilities, which makes her quite strong in PvE. However, she still lacks power in comparison to what her origin story hints. When her Secret Agent Wonder Woman skin is used, she can constantly silence or knock down enemies which makes her extremely troublesome to fight against in PvP.
