Princess Diana of Themyscira, better known as Wonder Woman, is a Fighter from the DCUniverse in MultiVersus. She was revealed alongside the game itself on November 18th, 2021, and is part of the game's initial release roster, having been playable since the first Tech Test.
Wonder Woman (real name: Princess Diana of Themyscira) was created by William Moulton Marston, an American psychologist who in 1940 discussed the underutilized potential of the comic book medium in an interview with Family Circle, a homemaking magazine. This interview caught the eye of publisher Max Gaines, who hired Marston as an educational consultant for his company, National Comics Publications; which eventually merged with Gaines' other company, All-American Publications, into the first incarnation of DC. At the suggestion of one of Marston's wives, Elizabeth, Marston made his superhero a woman, and, unlike other female comic book characters, was depicted as a strong, callous fighter with themes of polygamy, as Marston was in a polyamorous relationship with his wives Elizabeth and Olive. In the wake of the Second World War, Wonder Woman, alongside other members of DC's Justice Society of America, were used as propaganda in a vein similar to fellow publisher Timely Comics' (now competitor Marvel Comics) Captain America, often being shown fighting Nazis and other members loyal to the Axis Powers. Following the war and into the Silver Age of Comic Books, these aspects of her character were toned down heavily and often changed, though most depictions since the Bronze Age keep the World War II aspects preserved in a historical context.
In some interpretations of the character, Wonder Woman appears to be the biological daughter of the Greek gods Zeus and Hippolyta, and was given life as an Amazon.
Official Biography
Amazon Princess. Daughter of Zeus. Founding member of the Justice League.
Website
One of reality’s mightiest heroes, “Wonder Woman” is a name both feared and loved across the Multiverse. A fierce warrior, proud commander, and kind leader, Diana was sent to the World of Man by the Amazons to act as a champion of peace. She’s defeated countless villains both by herself and as a founding member of the Justice League, and she has served as an inspiration for a whole new generation of heroes.[1]
In-Game
Wonder Woman can absorb the toughest blows anyone tries to throw at her. But with her sword at her side and her lasso to pull foes in, she dishes it out just as well as she takes it.
Default Variant
Wonder Woman's default look appears to be largely based on her design from DC's Wonder Woman (Vol. 5) comic book series, which was in-itself part of the larger DC Rebirth Initiative.

Lore
According to Eric Stirpē, the main lead writer for MultiVersus, all Fighters from the DC universe in the game are original interpretations that take inspiration from various incarnations without adhering to any adaptation in particular.[2]
If the events depicted in the "You're with Me!" Cinematic Trailer are to be taken as canon, than Wonder Woman seems to have been one of the Fighters teleported to Trophy's E.D.G.E. in the "Heroes Convergence" phenomenon.
In Rick's Reveal Trailer, Wonder Woman is also seen fighting Reindog on Trophy's E.D.G.E., before being interrupted by Rick and his Meeseeks.
In the Official "Stars Collide. Pies Fly." Launch Trailer, Wonder Woman is seen watching Stripe getting blasted into Jump City from inside Titans Tower as Black Lantern Wonder Woman appears behind her. The Black Lantern is then joined by two different versions of Wonder Woman (most likely from alternative timelines) wearing the Bloodlines and Golden Armor Variants as they all team up to attack the original Wonder Woman. Rick also arrives by accident inside the Tower via one of his portals, and quickly leaves as Wonder Woman fights her Doppelgängers. Diana is later seen inside Throne Room, joining Rick alongside Finn, Velma, Cake, Marvin, and BrunhildeBugs as they all prepare to fight The Joker and his newly spawnedminions.

Passive
– Bracer Meter now resets when Wonder Woman is rung out
Fixed an issue where Wonder Woman could branch into dodge or jump on whiff but could not branch into another attack until much later. The dodge/jump whiff branch window has been increased by 5 frames, and the attack branch window has been adjusted to line up with the dodge/jump branch window

- Air/Ground Up Special
