Wonder Girl was the teenage sidekick of Wonder Woman[1] back in the '60s. She was also a member of the Teen Titans.
Background Information
In the parallel universe of Earth-One, a little girl is saved by Wonder Woman from an apartment building fire. Unable to find her parents or family, Wonder Woman brings the child to Paradise Island. She becomes Queen Hippolyta's adopted daughter and Wonder Woman's adopted sister. Naturally, she was unable to compete with the Amazons on a physical level, lacking their special powers. She was given powers almost identical to those of Wonder Woman by scientist Paula von Gunther's. She also learned the ways of Amazon combat and physical training.[2]
In 1969, Wonder Girl dons a new, all-red bodysuit-style costume, lets her hair fall loose, adopts the secret identity Donna Troy, becomes a member of a "junior Justice League" and helps establish the Teen Titans. At that time, the Titans consisted of 'Robin' (Dick Grayson), 'Kid Flash' (Wally West), and Aqualad.[3].
