Donna Troy
Origin - Donna was created to be a playmate for the young Wonder Woman by the sorceress Magala, who used a magical mirror to create a duplicate of Diana, though with her own personality. She was abducted by Dark Angel (who mistook her for the real Diana) who cursed her to experience a cycle of countless tragic lives. In one of the lives she ended up living having superhuman powers and abilities, she adopted the identity of Wonder Girl. Donna became one of the founding members of the Teen Titans. Donna Troy discovered after the Crisis on Infinite Earths that she is a merger of every alternate version of Donna Troy in the Multiverse. Unlike everyone else, Donna remembers every alternate universe version of herself and remembers the original Multiverse. During the One Year Later storyline crossovers, Donna Troy has assumed the mantle of Wonder Woman. Diana stepped down following the Crisis, feeling the need to 'find out who Diana is'. Donna works alongside ex-boyfriend Kyle Rayner, who has taken up the powers and title of Ion. They go up against one of the Monitors who attempts to remove them from the newly rebuilt time-stream, claiming the two are unwanted anomalies. After searching for and finding Ray Palmer with a group of heroes titled Challengers from Beyond, her and Kyle decided they would need to keep a closer watch on the monitors. After that event, Donna joins several former Teen Titans in the current team's battle against Deathstroke and his Titans East team. Following the Blackest Night, Donna becomes part of the new Justice League's lineup, along with Mon-El, Dick Grayson as Batman, and Hal Jordan. The build-up to Donna's recruitment begins when she volunteers to help Mikaal Tomas and Congorilla track down the super villain Prometheus. She accompanies them to the JLA Watchtower alongside Starfire and Animal Man, only to discover that Red Arrow has been mutilated by Prometheus. During the ensuing battle, Donna is impaled through the wrists, but frees herself and takes down Prometheus after he defeats the rest of the team. Unfortunately, the villain destroys Star City via a teleportation device. In the aftermath of this, Donna is told by Wonder Woman that she could benefit from being a part of the JLA. To that end, she officially joins the team, even recruiting Cyborg, Dick Grayson (now Batman), and Starfire as well.
Powers and Abilities - Donna's superhuman powers have changed several times over the years, but in all of her various incarnations, they have always consisted of considerable superhuman strength, endurance, speed, and the power of flight. In her pre-Crisis origin, Donna was granted those powers by the Amazon's Purple Ray, and these powers increased as she grew older. She also wielded a lasso of her own, but it apparently had no magical properties like Diana's Lasso of Truth. Donna and Diana also share a psychic rapport which allows one to feel either what the other is experiencing or even share dreams. Shortly after her resurrection as the Goddess of the Moon, during the Return of Donna Troy limited series, Donna's powers were enhanced and upgraded. She retained all of the abilities she had before, and regained her energy manipulation abilities. She also commanded darkness and cold to great effect. Donna has not been shown using those powers since regaining her memories. Donna is extremely powerful, with power and strength rivaling that of her sister Diana (Wonder Woman). She is considered to be one of the strongest superheriones of the DC Universe along with Power Girl, Supergirl, Big Barda, Mary Marvel and Wonder Woman. Donna also has incredible super-speed. She is fast enough to outrace bullets with ease, and like Wonder Woman, she's said to be able to move at half the speed of light. She has been shown moving fast enough to catch up to speedsters such as Jesse Quick. While not totally invulnerable, Donna has a very high degree of resistance to injury. Donna has been punched through floors of reinforced steel and concrete and taken hits from beings such as Etrigan, Dark Mary Marvel,Wonder Woman and Superman. Like all Amazons, Donna is extremely well trained in the use of various weapons and in various martial arts. Her sister Diana, mother Hippolyte, General Phillipus, and Artemis seem to be her only rivals as a warrior (among the Amazons). She is also a very capable leader and strategist. Donna currently wields a new lasso of her own called the Lasso of Persuasion. It glows blue, and like Wonder Woman's lasso is quite durable. It also has the ability to force anyone within its confines to do Donna's bidding if her willpower is greater than theirs. Donna has the ability to flawlessly imitate the voice of anyone she has heard. Donna has super strength enabling her to lift at least 100 tons. She demonstrates her super stamina by being able to fight at maximum power for several hours. Along with the power of flight, Donna displays powers of superhuman durability. Donna is a professional photographer.
Weaknesses and Limitations - Donna's lasso doesn't seem to have the same effect as Diana's lasso of truth does. At one point Donna traded her powers for the lives of her family, specifically her unborn son who was destined to become a super villain named Lord Chaos. It would seem that Donna's memory is often erased or changed with false memories if the situation calls for it but mostly this is used by the writers as a plot point.
