Her training here was done by Ares rather than her fellow Amazons as well. Never a Self-Made Woman: Diana's powers and allies are all derived from her father Zeus, which is quite an alteration as she was originally designed specifically to avert this trope with all her strengths and even her creation being due to women and her interactions with them.However, DC Rebirth has established that New 52 versions of Olympus and Themyscira are fakes, as is the New 52 Hippolyta, casting doubt on whether Diana really is Zeus' daughter or if this was something she was tricked into believing.

Originally she was the one of DC's Big Three who would not kill. Her pre-New 52 willingness to kill is also an example of this, if a more gradual one.
