Wonder Woman was the first significant super heroine to appear on the scene, and she wasn't alone among her gender as scores of fabulous females also appeared throughout the Multiverse since December 1941 which Princess Diana arrived in America and reversed her name to Diana Prince. On Earths One and Two, each amazing amazon was nearly identical in powers, in history, in personality. However, those around them were different, including their very flesh and blood relations of Paradise Island. Among these were a pair that were one of Diana's sisters and the other ... well let's research it further.
When Earth-One Diana was born, she was not alone, for she had a sister born simultaneously who didn't gain much fanfare. Nubia was stolen by her mother Hippolyta's mortal enemy Mars, and raised on a separate floating island with all men as their queen. Years later, she was drawn back to Paradise Island to claim the title of Wonder Woman, and made a strong case in both her combat skills and in her sense of valor and fairplay which her sister possessed. Eventually moving to Africa, Nubia became one of that continent's principal protectors and protected it from her brainwashed famous sister on one occasion.
Nubia's Earth-Two counterpart, Lya, resided on the planet Mars ruled by its namesake. Daughter of his chief minion the Duke of Deception, she tried to usurp their control over women of that world and was exiled. Arriving on Earth-Two, Lya captured Wonder Woman then created an artificial copy of the Amazing Amazon which she then became. Launching an attack on the surface world from her underground base, Lya as Wonder Woman almost manipulated mankind into a war with Mars, until her “sister” the real Wonder Woman cornered her. Lya was sent to Reformation Island to be rehabilitated.
And of course, there is Donna Troy. On Earth-One, she was saved by Wonder Woman from a fiery building early in the amazon's costumed career and as an orphan brought to Paradise Island where she was adopted by Queen Hippolyta and became Diana's second sister. Years later, she returned to man's world as Wonder Girl assisting the Teen Titans who themselves were sidekicks of the Justice League and made names for themselves as a legendary team. Meanwhile on Earth-Two, rather than Diana saving Donna a firefighter performed the heroic deed and the orphaned girl eventually made it into Holliday College. As a Holliday Girl alongside sorority leader Etta Candy, this gal had many adventures with her Wonder Woman... on one occasion in the fourth dimension actually manifesting herself as a twin of her idol.
And centuries prior, the first Wonder Woman of Earth-One was Hippolyta's friend Artemis, who quickly became corrupted in her formerly heroic career before perishing. On Earth-Two, Hippolyte briefly assumed the identity of Wonder Woman when her offspring's life was no longer in danger, after which she resumed her monarch duties once her daughter was safe.
