Donna Troy

The history of Donna Troy is a unique one as she has lived through many lives, remembering each and every single one and the result was that the writers needed to find a way to intertwine each one, so that it could look like this was her actual history.

As Wonder Girl

Before Wonder Girl however, the creation of the Teen Titans was a team consisting of sidekicks. A year later, they returned in The Brave and the Bold #60 and then were officially dubbed as the Teen Titans. This was the first official appearance was the debut of Wonder Girl. During the Silver Age, there were hardly any sidekicks. Batman's sidekick Robin was on the team that also included the sidekick of Flash,[[Kid Flash:char:9961], the sidekick of Green Arrow, Speedy (Roy Harper) and Tempest who was the sidekick of Aquaman. Other main DC heroes had no sidekicks so they simply had to invent a new one. The result: Wonder Girl.

The introduction of Wonder Girl was a bit troubling at first, as she was featured on the cover but her name didn't get a mention in the issue, but soon enough, Donna Troy was mentioned. She continued appearing in the Teen Titans. Wonder Girl also had trouble with her origin as she didn't even have one. In Teen Titans #22, her origin finally revealed. Apparently, Donna Troy was saved from a burning fire by Wonder Woman, in which the fire killed her parents. She brought her to Paradise Island and there she learned the ways of the Amazons. As a human however, she did not have any powers or super human abilities that the Amazons had, so with the Purple Ray Gun, they used it on her. This gun was used to heal Amazons and was used to imbue Donna Troy with the powers of the Amazons. In issue #23, she had gotten herself a new costume. Her whole outfit was a bright firetruck red with a row of stars going diagonally, black boots and a yellow/gold belt with a "W" in the middle.

The Many Looks of Donna Troy

Through the 1960s, the line-up had changed many times, but Wonder Girl had been right through. With issue #43 the series was stopped. The team returned however with DC Super-Stars #1 which had gained enough popularity for the Teen Titans series back. The series continued not with #1 but #44, but was then abruptly cancelled with #53. A few years later, the series came back once again with the New Teen Titans. The revival had the original team along with new characters. In the New Teen Titans, Donna Troy fell in love with Terry Long and were soon engaged. Before she got married though, she wanted to find her real parents. In the issue Who is Donna Troy? #38, Robin investigated Donna's past as a test of his detective skills. Robin discovered that Donna had been abandoned as a baby at an orphanage as her mother died of cancer. A couple, Carl and Fay Stacey adopted Donna. Carl had died during work, and Stacey feared that she would not make ends meet, meaning they would become bankrupt and put Donna up for adoption once again. The orphanage apparently made the children work, exploiting them. It was then which Wonder Woman accidentally found her amongst the flames and saved her.

New Teen Titans was then used for a trial as DC was experimenting on high quality paper and comics with better colours, selling them only in speciality comic book stores. Then, they would print them on cheaper paper a year later. The existing titles would have their same titles, except with a "Tales of" in the front of them. There was a one year delay in printing them, so it would mean that in a year's worth of that series, two comics would be released each month. So then New Teen Titans #40 would be released and following would be Tales of the New Teen Titans #41. The new stories included Robin turning into an adult and had become Nightwing. Finally in issue #50, Donna Troy eventually married Terry Long. That was a huge comic issue where it featured Hippolyta blessing the wedding. #58 would be the last issue, however with #59, DC would reprint the first issue in the first series and the now new more expensive New Teen Titans with #60. The reprint lasted only to issue #91. Wonder Woman had also relaunched its second volume in 1987. The series started with her travelling to Man's World. It was a start over for Wonder Woman, though that meant that any story happening before Wonder Woman wouldn't have existed - and that included Donna Troy's origin story, which comes to the "Who is Wonder Girl?" storyline.

"Who is Wonder Girl?"

Who is Wonder Girl? The New Titans #50.

This would be the beginning of a five part episode starting with #50 called "Who is Wonder Girl?" With this issue, the "teen" was dropped from Teen Titans, as they had grown up now. This issue begins with the Titans in their headquarters when they are attacked by aliens. A strange and old woman in a robe stops the aliens and talks to Donna Troy, telling her that her origin was all lies, however, she still remembers the fire, though her not rescuer. Rather than being inspired by Wonder Woman, she was inspired by an American flag. She meets up with Kid Flash, Robin, Speedy and Aqualad and form a team with them, even suggesting the name. The old woman then tells her that she is Phoebe, the Greek goddess of the moon, and the Greek gods need her help.

The New Titans #51.

In part two, a Titan called Jericho saves Phoebe as she dies by entering her body and he tells her how Zeus killed his father Cronus and the Titans were banished. They travelled to the moon and created a new haven, called New Cronus which Donna now remembers living on. They wanted people to worship them and Rhea, Cronus' widow procreated with aliens nearby, producing demigods. The demigods hated each other and Rhea was distraught that they might die out, and was in search for new gods to replace the Titans - called the Seeds. Rhea searched for Donna Troy, and there, she became a new goddess and was to become a new Titan. Rhea dies from the search of the Seeds, but the new ones arrived and were named after Greek cities - thus "Troy". The new Titans are given powers and trained together, stripped of their memories. But Sparta remembers the truth and tells all and conquer the planet. Sparta then sends out the aliens that attacked the Titan Tower. They travel in "travelspheres", which are like white balls that can be held in a hand and the Seeds are killed and the Spartans now rule. the Titans send Phoebe out in three parts, to contact the last three Seeds. Only the third one makes it. Before Phoebe dies, she reveals that Donna Troy can control the travelspheres that attacked the Titan Tower and that they must rescue that last two seeds. The Titans then take the travelspheres to look for the two Seeds. At a planet, they see aliens attacking running in front of a figure but the attackers are quickly destroyed. The figure, who is a white furry creature wearing a protective suit and enters the travelsphere. In there, he meets Donna and remembers his past on New Cronus.

The New Titans #52.

In the third part, the rescue the third Seed named Athyns, but it isn't so easy. The last Seed seemed evil. The alien attackers than destroy Athyns' planet and the Titans rescue him and Jericho possesses him. When they arrive back at New Cronus, and Athyns who is no longer possessed destroys the Spartan's battle ships but he destroys the travelsphere, apparently along with Nightwing, Cyborg, Starfire, Jericho and Raven on board.

The New Titans #53.

The New Titans #54.

Time as Troia

Presenting... Troia! The New Titans #55.

Troia becomes pregnant with Terry and since Troia is a goddess, the child is an X-Factor and becomes a new god. Meanwhile, Monarch who is from the future would become an evil conquerer, who is also revealed to be the influence of corruption towards former Titan members such as Hawk. Monarch was aware of future and revealed that he would corrupt Donna's unborn child to have him on his side and Donna's son would then become Lord Chaos. So Monarch sent a team of future Titans to kill Donna's child before it becomes born. That future team of the Titans would stay in the present, calling themselves Team Titans. In 1992, there was a spin-off book with a new storyline named "Total Chaos" with the New Titans, Team Titans and another spin-off titled Deathstroke, the Terminatior. During Team Titans #3 they solved the problem of Donna's child, where if Donna gave up her powers, her child would be normal. Donna then gave birth to her son, named Robert. Donna left the Titans and relocated with the Team Titans and Terry and she wanted to raise her son like a normal family. However, villians attacked and with that, in issue #21, she asked the Titan of Myths to return her powers but she was not allowed. She also was stranded in the past and Donna searched for her husband, only to find he went back to his ex-wife, Marcia. In 2001, a flashback issue was released called The Titans #25 where we see Terry divorcing from Donna.

With Darkstar

Donna took the offer to join the Darkstars and became a space police officer who was replacing the then-defunct Green Lantern Corps. The job got offered to her in Darkstars #22 and she accepted in #23. She also had a uniform makeover and also gained new powers. She became a team with them, but it hadn't lasted very long. Soon, Team Titans stopped their comics and most storylines centered around Zero Hour. The New Titans got a new lineup and Darkstar Donna Troy joined with Kyle Rayner after Hal Jordan had broken up the Green Lantern Corps. Donna Troy also made appearances in the Green Lantern and Kyle and Donna started dating in #61, which began a relationship. She continued appearing in three comics. The Darkstars, the Titans, Green Lantern. Soon, the DC comics sale were failing, and the Darkstars stopped at #38 and the New Titans with #130. Around that time, Kyle and Donna broke up in Green Lantern #70 and in Green Lantern #74-75, the Darkstars broke up and in #75, Donna left the Darkstars to live a normal life once again.

Reinvention of Donna

Wonder Woman vol. 2 #134. Donna Troy's association with Wonder Woman

In 1995, John Byrne took over Wonder Woman and Donna Troy was no longer Troia, and she had no connections with Wonder Woman. But in 1998, when he was to finish his run, he changed all that. Bryne had Hippolyta to travel back to the past and join the 1940s Justice Society Of America and this mirrored the DC's pre-crisis and this meant that Donna Troy could be connected once again with the Wonder Woman family. Donna Troy had now been inspired by Hippolyta instead of the American flag. He also associated Donna Troy with Princess Diana (the most known Wonder Woman) with her. As Princess Diana was a child, she had no one to connect with as all her Amazons sisters were older than her. Magala, the Amazon witch created a new playmate for Diana, though it had to be kept secret since Hippolyta did not approve of this. An evil witch named Dark Angel who was an old enemy of Hippolyta from her time travelling journeys. however would steal Diana and instead, mistakenly kidnapped Donna Troy and tortured her by making her live many lives, each of them ending in tragedy. Dark Angel had hoped that torturing Diana would drive Hippolyta insane, seeing as they had a special connection. Instead, Donna Troy gained personality and stayed around for a long time. The reason why Donna Troy had so lived lives was to set the truth straight about her continuity and her conflicting origin stories. When she was saved by Rhea and taken to New Cronus was one of them. However, Dark Angel's curse of each lifetime ending in tradgey stuck with her as her husband Terry and her son Robert died.

Wonder Woman vol. 2 #135

Dark Angel then returned to put her through another tragic lifetime. However, Hippolyta, Diana and Flash (Wally West) discovered that this happened and they still remembered Donna Troy as the lifetime she was living with them. All four of them defeated Dark Angel, but Donna died in the end. In a magical ressurection process, she returned to life using the memories of Flash. During her time as Wonder Girl, she became a sister of Wonder Woman but the Troia origin remained only slightly altered. In Wonder Woman #131-136. Dark Angel killed Donna Troy and the heroes came to intervene and this was when Donna Troy's new origin was revealed.

"Who's Troia?"

In 1996, a Teen Titans relaunch was done with a brand new #1 with a conjunction with the Justice League Of America. This issue also included all the original Teen Titans, but with different names. Donna Troy was still the same, except she had a brand new costume. It ended up being a black space-like suit with silver boots and constellations of stars all over it. There was Nightwing, Flash, who used to be Kid Flash, Arsenal who was formely Speedy and Tempest, who used to be Aqualad. Members returning were Cyborg and Starfire. It was written by Devin Grayson but notably, the art done by Phil Jimenez as he was a Titan fan and was George Perez's predecessor. The team up joined together to fight against a technological threat revealed by Cyborg, who is now a former member of the Titans. In this issue, Donna Troy returned to Paradise Island and officially became an Amazon. After many past tragedies, her life was more of a positive one now. She was a respected founder of the Teen Titans and her writer Devin Grayson wanted to see her return to her happiness, as it was time for that. Donna also had a brief relationship with Arsenal, but Donna's history was still incomplete. This had created the "Who's Troia?" storyline in the Titans #23-25. Because Donna's memories were based only on Flash, it was hugely incomplete as she did not remember her past as an Amazon. Dark Angel had returned, still determined to wipe out Donna Troy's memories. The Titans, along with their children from a very far future had come to stop her. Dark Angel was defeated and she regained her memories.

With issue #50, the title was being cancelled to make room for another title called The Titans with Justice. In this issue, a new Wonder Girl was introduced, Wonder Girl infact.

The Death of Donna Troy

To make room for the relaunch, they had to cancel this story and came out with Titans / Young Justice: Graduation Day. A huge company called Optitron had the JLA and the Titans come to San Francisco where Indigo, a cyborg assassin attacked them. While the team searched for Indigo, they encountered a rogue android Superman. Donna was fighting it, and it shot its heat vision into Donna's chest and she fell dead. Indigo stopped the android however. This death weakened the Titans and only the founding members of the Titans attended her funeral, and there they disbanded. It had an interesting epilogue however, where Donna wakens in her Troia outfit, where her costume had a hole where the android Superman hit, but she is unharmed. In the narrative, it says this:

She finds a sword and a shield and then the narrative goes once again:

The Titans would relaunch as Teen Titans. A second book was launched as a new incarnation of DC's Outsiders in which the team was led by Nightwing and also included Indigo and both teams were formed out of Donna's death and the disbandment of the Titans. This story in Teen Titans/Outsiders Secret Files 2003 had a backup story which included Donna's death. This story had the storyline "Who Was Donna Troy?" and was written and penciled by Phil Jimenez.

Return of Donna Troy

DC was preparing for the Countdown to Infinite Crisis and they started talking about Donna Troy. She was a very popular character even if she didn't have her own series, but no one missed her presence. The reason why she was killed off was to break up the Titans and to make way for a relaunch. However, to DC, she was important and they announced that she would make a return. Most readers didn't care much for Donna Troy, except Phil Jimenez, who worked on Wonder Woman and loved each character. George Pérez's involvement lifted the comics even higher and Pérez liked José Luis Garcia-Lopez's pencilling. Many readers were skeptical of Donna Troy's return, as she had a very intricate history and it would have to take some time to make sense so that it would fit and the mini-series was also delayed. Once it was released, they criticised it for her character not being what they would have imagined it to be. However, the mini-series sold well.

DC Special: The Return of Donna Troy #1 was released in August 2005 as a collector's item and this issue was also to wear the new DC logo called the "DC spin" which was a methaphor for its new direction in the comics business. This issue was quite a confusing one, especially if the readers did not read the "Who is Wonder Girl?" storyline and not knowing the roles of the Titans and gods in Greek Mythology would also be confused. However, this issue can be seen as honoring Donna Troy's heritage and for those who understand the "Who is Donna Troy?" storyline might understand why she survives on New Cronus. The appearance of Athyns and the death of Sparta may add excitement to Donna Troy's regular readers. However, readers wonder why this mini-series was so important as it was advertised heavily, almost taking over the Infinite Crisis. The issue begins with outer space characters and the narration tells us that "a tiny planetoid on the far side of the universe was in and of itself the deadliest weapon of all." There is also a Tamaranean, which is Starfire's race with their orange skin and fiery, reddish hair. There were also other alien races and are heading to the planet below. Defense robots pop out and the main Tamaranean exclaims "the sins of Rann and Thanagar will not spread across this universe!" which means that they are willing to die in this cause. Overlooking the battle is their lord, which they are willing to die for. Then we see Donna Troy wearing her usual Troia outfit with black hair and also wears a blue shawl and a tiara and round earings. She tells the readers that she was a goddess and it seems that she has joined the ranks of the Titan of the Myths. It now becomes clear that Donna was narrarating all along and she remembers the other Titan team. A mixture of images go along with her narration retelling her history, at least giving an idea of it. Coeus brings Donna back to reality and she tells him that she is having these dreams of becoming mortal. Coeus tells her that these dreams are ridiculous, that she is the moon goddess. She narrates that Troia may love Coeus, but Donna does not. The Titans of Myths observe the planet below them, called Minosyss, and it is having earthquakes. Iapetus wonders why Themis isn't saving it, so Hyperion intervenes saying that this would endanger "what lies beneath the surface o Minosyss." Tethys asks why they don't stop the rebellion themselves and Oceanus interrupts her saying that "Coeus approaches -- with Troia." This is a big clue that they are hiding something, but not sure what exactly.

Hyperion explains that the city has fallen. Hyperion takes a quick glance at Troia, and Thia knows that his husband lusts for Troia. Troia then looks for a remedy to cure her from these dreams she has been having of green-skinned Crius and Mnemosyne, the latter which is a true memory of a goddess. Coeus then begs Mnemosyne to show Troia's true place in the universe. Then, from Coeus' request, a vision comes up which shows the Titans of Myth who were the children of Uranus and Gaea. Zeus who was a Titan killed Cronus and banised the rest of the Titans to a moon called New Cronus. The Titans were infertile and Rhea, who was the wife of Cronus gave her seeds to various planets with her divine essence in them and one of the offspring included Donna Troy. Troia does not believe it however but Hyperion tells her to enmbrace the goddess side of her. Hyperion tells her that the races throughout the universe will follow them. Troia doesn't believe this and says that "a world is going to die". Donna then starts narrating about the two other Seeds are in the army of the Titan of the Myths and that Sparta is scanning the area for anything religious. Sparta speaks with Hyperion who urges him that the rebels should be slaughtered. Thia wonders who Troia can defend the rebels on the planet. Troia then narrates, saying how Hyperion was always arrogant and that "Thia was just a hateful bitch."

As Sparta is going down to the planet to get rid of the rebels, Troia urges the Titans to intervene and is surprised at Oceanus and Tethys agreement with the Titans' plan. The two gods are disgusted by Sparta's origins, but little do they know that Troia herself has similar alien origins. Troia then talks with Themis and Iapetus who explain that the Spartans aren't meant for to level with the Titans in terms of magnificence and she realises that the Titans aren't worthy in any hierarchy. Troia then has a vision of Rhea saving her from the fire and how she learns about the universe from Minosyss. She is disgusted in how the Titans believe they are superior and she grabs a suit of armour and transports herself down to the planet. Coeus realises this and is worried that she will discover her true identity, but Hyperion is not worried stating that she will succeed where Phoebe failed but Coeus is still worried that if Troia learns that the Titans have lied to her, she will won't react well to it. On the surface of the planet, Troia she sees all the dead bodies on the floor and rushes to Sparta's defence, but it is too late, and Sparta dies. Troia urgently tells Athyns about the natives of that planet having a weapon which could destroy countless planets. Athyns does not believe her, asking why the natives haven't used this weapon yet. Troia replies that there is such weapon and it is killing the allies who look for this weapon. But in her narration, she doubts what she is saying. Troia then accuses Athyns of working for the Thanagarians. Athyns retaliates, stating that Mnemosyne is swaying her opinions and then there is an explosion. What caused this or who survives is not known, though we see the Titans of Myth travel in the travelspheres on the way to Earth and transports itself to Shift in the Outsiders' headquarters. Shift refuses the HQ to be destroyed again after Outsiders #23.

With the second issue, Shift attacks the travelsphere because of the recent events which happened during The Outsiders. Shift’s girlfriend recently died and Indigo who was Brainiac 8 and was a robot sent back in time to kill Donna Troy before being reprogrammed. Nightwing and Starfire defend the travelsphere. Donna narrates how can someone not fall in love with Nightwing while she respects Starfire very highly as a warrior. Shift is surprised at the appearance of Nightwing and Starfire. Starfire protects it from Shift and throws it to Nightwing. He tells everyone to calm down because the travelsphere reacts to emotion. Arsenal, Jade and Arsenal’s daughter, Lian come to see what the commotion is about and Arsenal is about to shoot it with his arrow but he recognises from the stories that her “aunty” told her – probably a reference to Donna Troy before her death. Lian then says “she’s coming back” which is a reference to Green Arrow who was resurrected recently. All of them watch, and the travelsphere opens and in there, floating, is Donna Troy. Starfire exclaims that “Donna Troy is alive!”

It then cuts to the Titans Tower where Wonder Girl (Cassie Sandsmark) is looking through photos of her and Conner (Superboy). Cassie and Conner have had a flirtatious relationship but some time during the Teen Titans, he quit when he was controlled by Lex Luthor. She also looks at a photo of Wonder Woman and Troia and grieves about how she misses Donna seeing as she has no one to talk to now, and that Diana had kept the secret of Zeus being her father a secret from her. This is in the Wonder Woman series, where Wonder Woman kept the secret even though Cassie wanted to know very badly. However, Beast Boy comes in and tells Donna of an amazing thing that just happened. They both rush into the hall and find statues of dead Titan members, with Donna in the middle. There is a travelsphere hovering in front of her face where Cyborg says that “they” said the sphere would be where it is. The travelsphere opens and Arsenal reaches out. Apparently, the Outsiders called earlier, explaining why Cyborg said “they”. Beast Boy asks Cyborg if he knows what this means, and apparently, Donna Troy is back. The Titans then get inside the travelsphere which takes them across the galaxy and Raven’s empathetic ability allows her to detect the distress over the Rann-Thanagar War which is causing damage for Rann and Thanagar, not to mention the Colu and Throneworld as well. Then the memories come flooding back, as Beast Boy recounts where Starfire’s sister, Blackfire kidnapped her and took her back to Tamaran. Starfire also adds that she remembers the Titans joining Omega Red to save her. Arsenal is happy to see Donna again and he says “I love that woman.”

Then it shows all the characters Raven, Beast Boy, Cyborg, Jade, Arsenal, Wonder Girl, Nightwing, Starfire, Shift, and Kid Flash as Donna gives an introduction to the characters. Kid Flash runs around in the travelsphere, noting that it is bigger on the inside than out. Everyone is happy to see Donna again, but Raven senses something else, and that there’s something “terribly wrong” and that “Donna may no longer resemble the woman we once knew.” The travelsphere nears New Cronus, and the old Titan members recognise it, but they don’t stop at New Cronus. Instead the travelsphere takes them to Minosyss where the characters don’t recognise it. On the surface of Minosyss, Cyborg says that “something happened between a Green Lantern and the Khunds” which makes a reference to Kyle Rayner stopping a Khund blockade of the planet Ancar and Jade guesses that he is involved. They realise that they cannot breathe, but the travelsphere has probably changed the way their body works a bit. They observe the landscape and Starfire says that the Warlords of Okaara had some kind of powerful weapon here. Kid Flash observes the landscape while Arsenal jokes that Nightwing might have to rethink quitting the Outsiders and Jade is regretful seeing as she has to tell Kyle Rayner that her ex-girlfriend is back, though Kyle Rayner was Jade’s ex-boyfriend. The rocks around them start moving, revealing that they are the inhabitants of this planet, as they have rock-like tarps over them. After a bit of fighting, Nightwing orders everyone to get into the city while Jade keeps them with a green wall of energy but more inhabitants pop out and this time with rifles. They now know that they have to fight. Starfire becomes fired upon and Raven sense that they are only protecting their home. After some more battling, Athyns comes down, instructing the natives to stop attacking. The old Titans recognise Athyns and Carrie realises that Athyns is one of the Seeds, just like Donna. Athnys says that Carrie has a huge amount of power. Athyns then takes them Donna who is now tied up by electrical ropes. According to the last issue, the explosion meant that Donna’s battle with Athyns was a failure and that signalled Athyns’ victory. Then the heroes now know how she isn’t herself. Her face is red with rage and begins to insult Starfire’s people and tells Starfire to join her in New Cronus

On New Cronus, the Titans of Myth lament over Donna’s defeat and Coeus states that the heroes have saved them before. Hyperion replies that Athnys and the heroes will have to be punished for their defiance of the gods. He adds that for their survival, they must hide the truth from Donna. Coeus then states that the Titans of Myth have failed to live up to their promise to become better gods.

On Minosyss respond about the carnage on this certain planet. He recounts seeing children finding whatever food they could and many are troubled by the Titans of the Myth who seem to the ones causing much of this trouble. Athyns explains that the gods have interfered with Donna’s memories and explains that he sent the travelsphere, hoping to shock Donna and restore Donna to her senses. The Titans also hear the death of Sparta, who some of them have met. Donna then calls the natives “animals” and Arsenal, Cassie and Jade try to get some sense into her pointing out that the natives who have been murdered were solely the Titans’ faults. Jade puts on her a more harsh tone and Donna narrates that family have to tell each other the hard truths. Athyns pressures Donna even more and brings down her husband, Coeus. On New Chronus, he hears the call and down below, the sky starts swirling. Apparently, Coeus has sent some of his energy down to Donna because she seems to be breaking the electrical rope that ties her down, her eyes filled with power. Donna’s narration causes much tension as she must choose between her two families.

The Titans of Myth continues straight up from the second issue, where Donna is breaking free from her chains. Hyperion comments that Donna is supposed to lead these gods “to our new existence beyond this universe!” On Minosyss, Donna strikes Athyns, a fellow Seed. Cyborg fires at Donna, but she dodges, sending Cyborg into some rubble. Donna then fires at Jade and then Starfire. Nightwing then realises that Donna is attacking the most powerful heroes first. Donna flips Starfire, and Wonder Girl realises that Donna’s move was an Amazonian attack and will kill Starfire if she gets the chance. Meanwhile, the natives who are watching on convince Kid Flash to follow them and Raven tells him to follow them, as they probably know how to end Donna’s mad run. On New Cronus, Mnemosyne, she tells the other gods that the Teen Titans should be spared as they saved them once, but they refuse to intervene. Coeus who watches on is concerned and hopes that they’re not too late to save Donna.

As Donna is battling Starfire, she recalls the playful fights that they used to have. Arsenal calls at Donna and for a moment, she seems to recognise him, calling him “Roy”. Starfire takes this chance to go for Donna and Arsenal fires a stack of arrows which Donna is able to catch and throw back. Wonder Girl has blocked most of the arrows, though one arrow had hit Arsenal. Nightwing tries to get Donna to return to the normal Donna she was, and Shift wraps himself around her and blasts her with phosphorus. On New Cronus, Themis tries to calm Mnemosyne’s concerns, but tells her that it is not her concern, as “this universe is doomed, and we must leave it.” Down below, Jade goes for Donna constricting her in green energy. Donna narrates how she has competed for the same man. Regular readers would understand this as they both fought for Green Lantern, Kyle Rayner. Cyborg then tells Wonder Girl to wrap Donna around with her lasso. Donna stares in Cassie’s eyes and identifies with her divine heritage. Cassie had recently discovered that her father is Zeus. Hyperion seems to be idolising Cassie, but his wife Thia knows what he is really up to and assures him that she won’t be added to his list of girls. Donna then breaks loose of the constraints holding her down. Cassie is frustrated as she tells Donna that she was the one who inspired her to become Wonder Girl and that this isn’t the Donna that she knows. Donna knocks Cassie back, saying that the Donna she knew was “a figment of your imagination.”

The natives who have taken Kid Flash show him something very technological and he is shocked. Raven is following carrying Athyns with her. Kid Flash is so surprised; he says that they “have to tell the others.”

Cassie kicks Donna trying to get through to her. Donna hesitates and hits her back. Cassie, in an attempt to bring back the old Donna, gets up and pulls out a picture of herself with Wonder Woman and Donna.

Kid Flash and Athyns report to Nightwing, who orders Raven to get inside Donna’s head. Donna is battling Cassie and then Raven surrounds Donna in a mystical smoke. Raven shows Donna the horrors of war ever since she visited this planet. Donna is shocked and Nightwing orders Cyborg and Jade to drill and blast a tunnel below the city. Cassie tack
