Origin: In 36 BC, under heavy attack at the legendary Battle of Naulochus, Roman sea vessel, The Troy, vanished into a violent storm, enroute to Amazon allies at Asia Minor, ..miraculously reappearing, nearly three thousand years later, in stormy seas near Themyscira, island home of the Amazons! After pulling little Donna Magna, newborn daughter of Roman freedom-fighters, from the flames, young Amazon Princess Diana (Wonder Woman) carried the babe, to her mother, Queen Hippolyta...
Who adopted Donna and raised her, as her own daughter.
When Princess Donna was old enough to ask, Hippolyta told her the strange story of how she had come to the island.. and of how her parents, Magnus Pius and his wife, Vonia, had died heroically in ancient Rome, after sending her to the Amazons' protection! Donna learned that, when her ordeal on the Troy had left her, near death, her 3,000 warrior sisters made the ultimate sacrifice for her - that Mala had modified the Purple Ray to impart a portion of each Amazon's awesome power to Donna, ..saving her life! She would spend her girlhood, honoring their courage - training to be among the fittest and fiercest of the Amazons - and, for a time on time-lost Themyscira...
She, Diana and Hippolyta would be inseparable.
Discovering the Purple Ray had unexpectedly endowed her, with abilities, nearly as terrific as Wonder Woman's, teenaged Donna decided it was time to return to the Man's World, her parents had tried to save ..and followed Diana to America!
There, 'Donna Troy' befriended and saved the life of US Air Force Intelligence officer, General Phillip Darnell, a friend of Diana's, who welcomed the girl into his small family and became her legal guardian, in the United States. Roaming the world's bleakest war zones, ancient ruins and top-secret military bases, with her adoptive father, Donna grew up, learning mankind's darkest and strangest secrets, while secretly battling the forces of evil, with Darnell, Wonder Woman and the New Teen Titans, ..as Wonder Girl.
Now, a trend-setting lifestyle blogger (with 'Roar' blog) and crusading photojournalist, Donna Troy honors her freedom-loving Amazon creed and Roman heritage, using her powers to fight injustice and oppression, wherever it's too long ignored! It's in her blood...
Revolution!
---------- P O W E R S | W E A P O N S ----------
Powers and Abilities: Trained by Amazons, Revolution is a highly skilled huntress and warrior. Infused, by the Purple Healing Ray, with powers, similar to Wonder Woman's, she has superhuman strength, speed, agility, senses, endurance and an accelerated healing factor, as exhibited in battles with gods and monsters. Supernatural communion, with Greek goddess Artemis, gives her kinship with wild beasts. While she can fly, under her own power, she can also glide on wind currents, for limited periods of time, and physically endure the pressures of the ocean depths, when swimming.
Weapons: Revolution's magic Lasso of Persuasion compels sentient beings to obey her commands. Her indestructible, Amazonium metal sword and bracelets can repel bullets and other weapons, like lasers and energy blasts.
