Storyline
Just as Steve Trevor is labeled a traitor (though he is really going undercover in pursuit of Doctor Cyber), Wonder Woman is summoned to Paradise Island, where Hippolyta announces that the Amazons are retreating to another dimension to rest and renew. Diana chooses to stay and help Steve, giving up all of her powers and Amazonian heritage. Starting a new life, and taking on I Ching as her mentor, Diana has barely begun her training when Steve shows up severely wounded. While Steve lies barely alive, Diana and Ching stop Doctor Cyber's current plot, but never meet the villain face-to-face.
