Diana's origin is reimagined within DC's Absolute Universe. Instead of being raised on Themyscira, she is taken toHell by the godApollo and entrusted to the witchCirce, who becomes her adoptive mother. This upbringing imbues Diana with a blend of Amazonian prowess and dark sorcery. Diana confronts formidable adversaries, notably the Harbingers and the colossal Tetracide. The story is intercut with between Diana's battle in Gateway City with flashback to her time in Hell with Circe, including her first meeting withSteve Trevor, who washes on the beaches of the Wild Isle and is rescued by Diana. In a pivotal moment, she invokes the power of her mother to enlarge her sword to immense proportions, enabling her to cleave the Tetracide in half. However, the creature begins to regenerate, prompting Diana to use Circe's Lasso of Transformation on herself, transforming intoMedusa. With the power of Medusa, she is then able to turn the Tetracide into stone, and, upon returning to her original form with help of Steve Trevor, crushes it with a punch. The story ends on a cliffhanger, as Diana is dragged down underground seemingly by the hand of anOlympian.[7]
