Description Well Duh...she is the original. Thing that gets me is how one of the greatest ideas take a convoluted path.

First a young Diana Prince is Wonder Girl, considering...she had not the tools to make her so until later in her life. Then came Donna Troy who's story if one that is so convoluted and destroyed that they would of been better off leaving it as it started.

1). Rescued orphan: Donna Troy was rescued from an orphanage fire by Wonder Woman, who took her to Paradise Island to be raised as an Amazon and little sister of Diana.

2). Titan Seed: The Titan Rhea had rescued a young Donna from a fire, adding her to a group of 12 orphans from around the universe who had been raised on New Cronus by these Titans as "Titan Seeds", their eventual saviors. The Seeds had been given superhuman powers and named after ancient Greek cities. Called "Troy", Donna (like the others) had eventually been stripped of her memories of her time with the Titans of Myth, and reintroduced into humankind to await her destiny. In this version, Donna was not an Amazon and had no connection to Wonder Woman.

3). Infinite Lives of Donna Troy: In a revision that incorporated the Titan Seed continuity while reattaching Donna Troy to Wonder Woman, it is revealed that the Amazon sorceress Magala had animated a mirror image of young Princess Diana to create for her a mystical, "identical twin" playmate. This twin is soon mistaken for Diana and kidnapped by Dark Angel. Dark Angel disperses 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. In at least one of these variant lives, Donna would become a superhero and encounter her grown sister, now Wonder Woman, and their mother Queen Hippolyta, without realizing who she really was or how she was related to them. After that timeline ends with the death of Donna's son, Diana and Hippolyta intervene to find what happened to Donna. Donna finally defeats Dark Angel, destroying the evil entity and regaining her original Amazon powers. She returns to reality to continue her life from that point.

4). Current version: Wonder Woman (vol. 3) Annual #1 gives Donna a new origin that combines elements of her three variant origins. Donna was born as Princess Diana's mystic twin through the help of Amazon sorceress Magala. Months later, an old enemy of Queen Hippolyta, called Dark Angel, kidnapped Donna thinking she was Diana. Donna was placed in suspended animation by Dark Angel for years but was eventually rescued and returned to the Amazons' home, where she received training from both the Amazons and the Titans of Myth and was raised as Diana's sister and Hippolyta's second daughter. Years later, she followed Diana into the outside world as Wonder Girl and helped form the Teen Titans.

What makes it worse the last Wonder Girl Cassandra Sandsmark, may as well be the New 52 Wonder Woman. So I choose Number 1, because it is her original origin. It is the most logical. And obviously I don't plan to kill her off in the future.


Welcome back Donna Troy.

OK. I seldom do critiques, and this will show why. This is very nice over all. BUT, the lasso is a hoop and lacks definition. Her skin tone is more Brazilian (Too deep on the tan), and she looks to be too old (Twenty plus is good but not near 40). Wonder Girl was never a Girl except for the lousy comic scripts she was given, along with a lot of mediocre drawing. This is not mediocre. My eyesight is still good despite my long use of the computer, so please work on your attention to detail. This pic shows a lot of hard work, but having followed you, I know you can do better.

Yes a good lasso is very hard to find (and make as well. Still playing around with some options on the lasso, so it is just a WIP. I still contend that the Amazons are tanned simply from the mythological location (Scythians are from the Mid East and occupied Northern Turkey), as well as the fact Paradise Island IS a Tropical Island. How you get a Minnesota pale tone?

Ok you got me on the model...yeah I should of turned back the clock a bit, and will endeavor to do so.

Tanned yes, but more on the order of a Greek or Polynesian tan, not a too long in the tanning bed tan.

Donna Troy... the chick with the screwed up continuity. I like how the Infinite Crisis handled her story, it's so damned screwed up because of the wonky state of the DC universe.

Sadly she's never really gotten much of a good story, never got much attention... and the attention she'd get always seemed to change things from writer to writer. Don't get me started on her strange relationship with that Terry Long guy.

She is what we can call a BLOWN OPPURTUNITY. And DC wonders why sales of Wonder Woman slipped?

When I'm doe with her, she'll be bigger then Robin!

Yeah... totally blown opportunity. Sad how a lot of their attempts to simplify and fix the problems caused by the Golden-to-Silver Age transition just made more problems for a lot of the heroes who's histories were tied into the past of other characters (Donna Troy, Legion, etc.)

Donna has always been my favorite Wonder Girl. DC screws everything up.

Donna Troy has always been the one character DC has NOT gotten right since her debut.
