the Amazon champion; although forbidden by Hippolyta to participate, Princess Diana conceals her identity with a mask. After winning all the contests Diana reveals her identity to her mother, who fears she will never see her daughter again. However, Hippolyta allows her daughter to dress as Wonder Woman and travel to the outside world. Diana returns Steve Trevor to the United States, adopting the identity of a U.S. Army nurse (Diana Prince) so she can stay with Trevor as he recovered. She helps him against a Japanese agent. Diana begins to appear publicly as Wonder Woman. As Earth-Two Diana Prince, she joins the U.S. Navy as a lieutenant and becomes Col. Darnell's secretary.
