Donna Troy is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. She is the original Wonder Girl and later temporarily adopts another identity, Troia. Created by Bob Haney and Bruno Premiani, she first appeared in The Brave and the Bold #60 (July 1965). Donna has been commonly featured in stories involving the Teen Titans, which she originally joined during their second adventure and is since depicted as a founding member of the team.
Donna has appeared in numerous cartoon television shows and films. She makes her live adaptation debut in the DC Universe and HBO Max series Titans, played by Conor Leslie.
After the shake-up in comics that resulted from the publication of Seduction of the Innocent, DC Comics searched for a way to portray Wonder Woman that would be acceptable to parents. One of the more favored approaches was to publish a series of "Impossible Tales" in which Wonder Woman (Diana) appeared for various reasons side by side with younger versions of herself as well as her mother, creating a "Wonder Family". A teen-aged version of Wonder Woman was dubbed "Wonder Girl". By issue #123 of Wonder Woman (July 1961) the label "Impossible Tale" was not being included on many of these stories. In this particular issue the character of Wonder Girl is referred to as if she is an entity entirely different from Diana, a character unto herself.
Wonder Woman's younger sister Wonder Girl[1][2] made her first appearance outside the Wonder Woman book in The Brave and the Bold #60 (July 1965) as a member of a "junior Justice League" called the Teen Titans, consisting of Robin (Dick Grayson), Kid Flash (Wally West), and Aqualad (the sidekicks of Batman, The Flash, and Aquaman, respectively).[3] After next being featured in Showcase #59 (December 1965), the Teen Titans were spun off into their own series with Teen Titans #1, cover-dated February 1966.
Writer Marv Wolfman and artist Gil Kane created an origin for Wonder Girl in Teen Titans #22 (July–August 1969) which introduced the character's new costume.[4] This story established Wonder Girl's origin as an orphan rescued by Wonder Woman from an apartment building fire.[5] Unable to find her birth family, Wonder Woman brought her to Paradise Island to be raised by her mother, Queen Hippolyta, and she eventually was given Amazon powers by the Purple Ray. In 1969, Wonder Girl dons a new, red bodysuit-style costume and—since thus far she has been called only Wonder Girl or "Wonder Chick" by her teammates—adopts the secret identity Donna Troy.[5]
Donna remains with the Teen Titans until the series' cancellation with issue #43 in February 1973. She is still part of the team when the comic picks up again with #44 in November 1976. Teen Titans is canceled again in February 1978 with issue #53, with Donna and the others, no longer "teens", going their separate ways.
