Who is Donna Troy?

Origin Donna Troy Donna Troy has a relatively confusing origin story as compared to most heroes. This is because over the course of her publication history, she has had to be tied into both Wonder Woman continuity as well as Teen Titans continuity, which meant that publication decisions had to factor in both of those considerations. Her silver age story is the one which is most often referenced as a base for the character, even though it has changed many times. In the later years of the golden age of comics, most Wonder Woman stories focused on the Wonder Family, which consisted of Hippolyta , Wonder Woman and two de-aged versions of Wonder Woman – Wonder Girl and Wonder Tot. When the idea was made to launch a version of the Justice League of America , it was decided to use the pre-existing teen sidekicks of the main DC characters. Wonder Woman had never had a sidekick and so a new Wonder Girl was introduced, based somewhat off of the previous version, although with a different background. In this origin, Donna is an orphan after her parents are killed in a fire, and she is rescued by Diana and taken to Paradise Island . Through the use of the Purple Ray she was given similar power.
