Summary

• Wonder Woman #6 took Diana Prince back to her original origin story of being made from clay.
• There is a strong possibility that Trinity, like her mother, is also a "clay baby."
• Revealing Trinity's clay-based origin could shed light on her powers and her heartbreaking future in the DC Universe.

WARNING: Potential Spoilers for Wonder Woman #6!

In Tom King's Wonder Woman run, fans have watched Diana's daughter, Lizzie "Trinity" Prince, mature from a child into a young adult, yet the identity of Trinity's father remains a mystery. However, King may have subtly unveiled Lizzie’s parentage, presenting a brilliant twist that transcends the adoption theories surrounding the character.

Diana Prince’s origin story has undergone several revisions throughout the years, notably when her original narrative of being formed from clay was altered during DC’s New 52 era, depicting her as the daughter of Zeus instead. However, Diana officially returns to her clay origin in Wonder Woman #6 by Tom King and Daniel Sampere.

This revelation occurs amidst a heated battle between Wonder Woman and Darkseid's daughter, Grail, when Diana declares to Grail that she is made from clay (not dirt). However, this moment may be about more than Diana's origins, possibly hinting that Trinity is a clay baby, too.

There's No Baby Daddy: Wonder Woman’s Daughter Is Made of Clay

Given that King adheres to the origin story wherein Diana was crafted by her mother's hands from clay and granted life by Greek deities, it's not implausible to consider that Diana might have formed her daughter in the same manner she was made. Such an explanation could neatly resolve the ambiguity surrounding Trinity's origins. Many fans have speculated that the only logical explanation for Trinity being her daughter would be through adoption. However, the clay theory presents a compelling and even more plausible origin story, offering a unique and believable narrative for Wonder Woman and her lineage.

The notion of a "fatherless" origin aligns with what fans have observed thus far in Trinity's storyline, or more accurately, what has been notably absent. Despite Trinity headlining her own solo series, there has been no reference to her father, which becomes more understandable if there isn't one to mention. It's difficult to envision Wonder Woman deliberately excluding Lizzie's father from her life or Diana sleeping with a man so dishonorable that he would not wish to be part of his child's life. Thus, the absence of a paternal figure is consistent with the narrative.

A Clay Origin Would Reveal Trinity’s Fate in the DC Universe

If indeed it's revealed that Trinity was crafted from clay like her mother, it would not only answer questions about her parentage but also shed light on other aspects of her existence. Sharing Diana's unique origin would provide insight into Trinity's powers and abilities. Moreover, a clay-based origin would also illuminate Lizzie's future in the DCU, suggesting that, like her mother, she is immortal despite her vulnerabilities. While immortality has its benefits, it also implies that Wonder Woman's daughter will have a heartbreaking future as she will outlive all those she loves, including Damian Wayne and Jon Kent.
