History ComicBook / WonderWomanRebirth

* CorruptedCharacterCopy: Antagonist Doctor Shannon Crawford is a corrupted character copy of Marvel Comics protagonist ComicBook/SheHulk. Where [[Characters/SheHulkTitleCharacter Jennifer Walters]] was dying from blood loss and turned into the same kind of rampaging monster her cousin Bruce Banner becomes after a transfusion, Shannon Crawford was a sickly woman who betrayed Wonder Woman, first studying Wonder Woman's genetic material in an attempt to suppress her powers and, after developing a serum that could put Wonder Woman into an involuntary sleep, further experimenting on Wonder Woman in an effort to cure herself of a genetic disease. While the blood transfusion ''does'' save Walters's life, the serum Crawford uses on herself ''only'' turns her into a rampaging monster, removing her fatigue and bulking up her frail frame but doing nothing to remove the cause of her symptoms. Furthermore the serum is fleeting, as while She-Hulk is more or less a permanent change to the body of Walters, Wonder Woman's blood and plasma are actively rejecting the body of Crawford. Rejection being in fact what's driving her UnstoppableRage, lack of control driving the exaggerated muscle mass. While Jen Walters becomes suicidal at the ideal of involuntarily killing someone while "Hulked Out" Shannon Crawford kills herself when Wonder Woman restrains her and insists there are better treatments for Shannon's illness, [[SunkCostFallacy out of depression for putting so much effort into nothing]]. Finally, while Jennifer Walters ends up making her transformation more controllable than [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk the original Hulk]] Shannon Crawford's serum is injected into trained soldiers who can control Wonder Woman's power far better than she could, to the point they don't "Hulk Out" at all and can even fly...though Diana's blood and plasma still rejects their bodies and causes them to act irrationally.

A relaunch of Franchise/WonderWoman for ComicBook/DCRebirth, initially written by Creator/GregRucka with art by Creator/LiamSharp and Creator/NicolaScott.

This volume of ''ComicBook/WonderWoman'' is divided into two parts: the modern stories ("The Lies" and "The Truth"), which run in every odd-numbered issue, and Diana's revised origins that take place in the past ("Year One" and "Godwatch"), which run in even-numbered issues. Liam Sharp illustrates "The Lies" and "The Truth", while Nicola Scott illustrates "Year One."

On April 12, 2017, both Greg Rucka and Liam Sharp announced they would be leaving the title after issue #25; Rucka cited the demand of the twice-monthly schedule and ongoing obligations to his creator-owned comics. The following day, ''WebAnimation/DCSuperHeroGirls'' writer Shea Fontana and ''ComicBook/DCComicsBombshells'' artist Mirka Andolfo were announced as the new creative team... then, in June, solicitations listed James Robinson (''ComicBook/{{Starman}}'', ''ComicBook/SquadronSupreme'', ''ComicBook/{{Cable}}'') as the writer of the series, taking over after Fontana's arc. Robinson's run follows up on Geoff Johns' ''ComicBook/DarkseidWar'', which revealed that Diana has a brother she never knew about, one who'd play an important role in future events. Robinson's run begins with a story featuring the meeting between Diana and this brother, Jason.

* VillainousLineage: Gundra the Vaklyrie is revealed to be an ancestor of Paula Von Gunther, and the start of her villainous family history.

** While she did exist in ComicBook/TheNew52 and had appeared in the ''Superman/Wonder Woman'' comic, this marked the first time in nearly 10 years Circe appeared in the main Wonder Woman solo comic.

* ClarkKenting: Diana once again takes up her Diana Prince identity, [[spoiler: when she's suffering a bad case of HeroicBSOD.]]

** One of the newspapers in "Year One" has a picture of Diana in pose similar to her first appearances in ''ComicBook/AllStarComics'' [[ComicBook/AllStarComicsNumber8 #8]] (1941) and ''ComicBook/SensationComics'' [[ComicBook/SensationComicsNumberOne #1]] (1942).

** In mythology Atlantiades/Hermaphroditus was born to Aphrodite and Hermes, the gods of female and male sexuality respectively, while here they were created by Aphrodite alone. Particularly erogenous as they even explain they are a union of opposites, while they're not really the result of a union of any kind in this iteration where they have been turned into an intersex Aphrodite clone.
** In mythology Atlantiades less commonly known name comes from Hermes' mother being a daughter of Atlas, while here Aphrodite's mother Dione was mistaken for one of Atlas' daughters when her father was given variously as Uranus or more commonly Aether, never Atlas. Up until this point in the DCU Aphrodite had not been a daughter of Zeus either, though their is some mythological basis for this as some sources claim she is the daughter of Zeus and Dione rather than the daughter of Zeus' grandfather Uranus as she is more commonly thought of.
** Getting rid of their father Hermes makes their more commonly known name of Hermaphroditus entirely nonsensical, as the name is a combination of their parents names Hermes - Herm and Aphrodite - aphroditus.
** Hermaphroditus was one of the Erotes in mythology, but was the god of {{hermaphrodite}}s, effemate men, and androgyny while lust, sexual desire and mutual love were aspects of other Erotes: lust/desire an aspect Himeros and Eros and mutual love of Anteros.

* AdultFear: Veronica Cale's daughter is cornered by two men and left in a vegetative state during a school field trip, with no one even noticing anything was amiss until the attack was over and the men had walked off. The magical nature of the attack notwithstanding this is a parent's nightmare.
