WARNING: Contains Potential Spoilers for ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN #`1!There's no denying that Wonder Woman in the main DC Universe is highly accomplished, holding titles like Princess of Themyscira, Champion of the Amazons, and Champion of Peace. However, when it comes to sheer badassery, Absolute Wonder Woman officially sures the original with an extensive list of honors that even put Game of Thrones’ Daenerys Targaryen's impressive array of titles to shame.

...a collection of titles that reflect Absolute Wonder Woman's incredible journey as an underdog who rises to greatness against all odds.

Kelly Thompson, Hayden Sherman, Jordie Bellaire, and Becca Carey’s Absolute Wonder Woman #1 has already set the stage for one of the most groundbreaking Wonder Woman stories in recent memory. This series reimagines Diana of Themyscira in a way that feels both fresh and fiercely badass, pushing her character to a whole new level.

A big part of this edge comes from Absolute Wonder Woman’s brutal and powerful new title, which symbolizes the trials and challenges she’s faced—and the strengths she’s gained—that set her apart from her Earth-Prime counterpart. The full weight of this title is revealed in the issue’s final moments when she declares, “I am Diana of Themyscira, Last of the Amazons, Daughter of Circe, Princess of Hell, Witch of the Wild Isle.”

Diana Was Born in Themyscira But Raised in Hell

Diana’s title leaves readers with much to unpack, serving as a powerful summary of her Absolute Universe origin. Alongside the intense action of Wonder Woman tearing through hellspawn, the issue uses flashbacks to recount her story from the very beginning. It opens with the Greek god Apollo delivering an infant Diana to Circe, who is exiled on an island in hell. Apollo introduces Diana as the Princess of Themyscira, explaining that she is the last of the Amazons, taken from her people by Zeus as punishment for their defiance against the gods, with Circe now tasked to act as her "warden."

Apollo further explains that Diana will never be reunited with her Amazon sisters, as they are doomed to eternal imprisonment after serving Zeus. This scene not only establishes Diana’s titles of "Last of the Amazons" and "Princess of Hell," but also adds layers of significance to them. The weight of the "Last of the Amazons" title deepens when it's revealed that Apollo has forbidden Circe from ever speaking the word "Amazon." Hence, Diana's eventual discovery of her true heritage, despite this ban, makes her claiming of her Amazon lineage even more powerful and poignant.

Diana Was Raised and Taught Witchcraft by Circe on the Wild Isle

To say that Circe was displeased to be saddled with a baby in Hell is an understatement. The witch had initially intended to let the creatures of the isle kill the infant, as she hadn’t been explicitly tasked with keeping Diana alive. However, when baby Diana hurls away the snake sent to kill her, proving she is far from ordinary, Circe’s interest is piqued. From that moment on, the witch begins to raise Diana and teach her witchcraft, realizing that “how you fall in love with a child is by raising it.” This sentiment is beautifully illustrated by Sherman and Bellaire, who capture Diana's transformation from infant to girlhood, then to teenager, and finally to young adult under Circe's care.

Circe’s narration, combined with Diana’s visual growth, reveals the origin of the "Daughter of Circe" title. Furthermore, as Circe teaches Diana magic, she becomes a witch in her own right. Wonder Woman’s magical prowess is showcased in her battle against a harbinger from Hell, effectively explaining the "Witch of the Wild Isle" part of her title. The fact that these accomplishment-infused titles arise from an upbringing intended as punishment only highlights the strength of Absolute Wonder Woman, who has transformed her disadvantaged beginnings into a source of empowerment.

While the inevitable meeting between Diana Prince of the main DC Universe and Absolute Wonder Woman may still be years away, it’s clear that the Amazon Princess needs to earn some more badass titles to compete with the sheer coolness of the Princess of Hell. Each of Absolute Diana's titles embodies the trials and setbacks she has faced, showcasing her transformation of adversity into strength. Although Diana has confronted her own challenges, Absolute Diana’s upbringing in a Darkseid-ruled universe has been particularly brutal. This harsh environment has forged a formidable warrior, resulting in a collection of titles that reflect Absolute Wonder Woman's incredible journey as an underdog who rises to greatness against all odds.
