It’s the most rewritten and confusing backstory in the history of comics. No, not Hawkman. Not The Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. Not even Jean Grey. It’s Donna Troy.
For this episode, I return to the topic of the Wonder Girl herself by taking a quick look at how her origin has been told and retold, and then do a deep dive into the 2025 Titans annual by Phil Jimenez, which reveals the identity of her father and lays to rest the question of who she really is.
For now, anyway.
