"*We Amazons have long believed in peace, but we have also trained since birth in the arts of war! Here on this island hidden from man, we have avoided the battles of the outside world-- But now, my sisters, the battle comes to us! But this battle is not with man nor his terrible war machines... The battle we face is with the wrath of the Elder Gods themselves!*"
―Hippolyta[src]
**Hippolyta**, also known as **Hippolyte**, was a legendary demigoddess warrior who served as Queen of the Amazons of the Paradise Islands. She was the daughter of Ares and Otrera, a sister of Antiope and Melanippe, as well as the mother of Hippolytus and Diana Prince.

## Biography

### Early life

named so in honor of the name the Romans gave to the Goddess of the Hunt. She was weaned on the Paradise Islands to the demigoddess **Hippolyta**, Queen of the Amazons and the demigod Theseus.

### Becoming Wonder Woman

"*Go in peace, my daughter. And remember that, in a world of ordinary mortals, you are a Wonder Woman.*"
―Hippolyta[src]
There the Amazons remained until the year 1972 CE when Major Steve Trevor, United States Army Air Corps, crash landed on Paradise Island. Diana was immediately attracted to the handsome man despite his extensive injuries. Violating the Island rules about taking in outsiders, Diana took the unconscious Trevor back to the Amazons in an attempt to save his life.

He revealed the current state of the world, resulting in the Queen deciding to send him back to the outside world with an Amazon to battle the Vietnamese. Diana wanted to participate and help, but her ulterior motive was to leave Paradise Island with Steve Trevor. The Queen forbade Diana from participating in the contest to determine the Amazon who was to go to Man's World, but in disguise Diana won the contest. Diana removed her wig and revealed her identity, and proclaimed her loyalty and love to her people, her queen and mother. Her mother agreed to send her with her blessing. Diana returned Steve Trevor to the United States and adopted the identity of an Army nurse named Diana Prince so she could be close to Trevor as he recovered from his injuries.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

**Amazonian Physiology**:

**Superhuman Strength**: Diana possessed superhuman strength, many times greater than that of a normal human being. She may very well have been the strongest woman on Earth at her peak, as her strength levels were in the same class as Superman. She could bend steel pipes in her bare hands, or lift heavy machinery with little to no effort. Prince could also use her powerful leg muscles to propel herself through the air, leaping over high obstacles such as walls or fences.
**Superhuman Durability**: Diana Prince had an extraordinary resistance to blunt force trauma, capable of shrugging off punches from beings such as Superman and Captain Marvel. However, Diana's skin was not totally invulnerable and could be pierced by sharp projectiles with sufficient force distributed over a small surface area such as bullets.
**Healing Factor**: Diana was constantly renewing herself, allowing her to quickly heal. In cases where she was gravely injured or poisoned, Diana showed the ability to physically merge with the earth, causing whatever injuries or poisons to be expelled from her body as it regained shape.
**Superhuman Longevity/Virtual Immortality**: Like the rest of her people, Leto aged at a much slower rate than humans. So long as Wonder Woman remained on Paradise Island and drank from the Fountain of Eternal Youth, she was virtually immortal. Whenever she left the island and went without the drink, Diana's body began to age at a much faster rate, though far less than a human. Upon returning to the island however, her aging was once again halted. Even still, it was nigh impossible for her to die from old age.
**Superhuman Stamina**:
**Flight**: Diana could glide in air currents.
**Superhuman Speed**: Diana also possessed incredible speed and reflexes. On the ground, Diana was easily fast enough to deflect bullets with her silver gauntlets.
