I can’t be the greatest Wonder Woman And Superman Shipper, but I’ve always believed that if Diana was going to be with any man, the Man of Steel would be a much better choice than Steve Trevor. This is mainly because I have long thought Diana and Steve’s relationship was flat and unremarkable. However, a recent DC Black Label book has finally shown me why Steve Trevor is actually an epic love interest for Wonder Woman.
Wonder Woman’s love for humanity is a fundamental part of her character, and the fact that Steve inspired this deep affection makes it clear that he is truly her one true love.
Daniel Warren Johnson and Mike Spicer’s Wonder Woman: Dead Earth Series introduces a Diana Prince who awakens from a centuries-long slumber to find her friends long gone and Earth reduced to a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
Although her loved ones are dead, flashbacks and Wonder Woman’s memories keep the characters alive in the narrative, offering a deep character study of the Amazonian warrior. Among those featured in her memoir is Steve Trevor. Despite his presence being limited to memories, This picture finally convinced me that Steve was indeed Diana’s best love interest– Something that no comedian has ever done before.
Steve Trevor is responsible for the main reason I love Wonder Woman – her unwavering love for humanity
in Wonder Woman: Dead Earth #1, Diana was betrayed and captured by humans she was trying to help. One of the humans, Dee, visited her out of guilt. During the visit, Wonder Woman reveals that she does not blame De for her betrayal because she “love” you. Dee is understandably stunned and confused by the declaration, prompting Wonder Woman to tell how she fell in love with Steve Trevor. She explains that her love for him has grown into a deep compassion for all humanityEven if she was caught and betrayed.
Diana explains what made her fall in love with Steve, saying: – I was struck by what I saw in his eyes. Part fear, part curiosity, part kindness. I saw in his eyes a willingness to try new things, like a child.” When I read this, I couldn’t help falling in love with Steve, especially knowing that because of him, Diana fell in love with humanity, as she later explained to Thee. Wonder Woman’s love for humanity is a fundamental part of her character, and the fact that Steve inspired this deep affection makes it clear that he is truly her one true love.

I would love to see Tom King bring the connection of Diana’s love for Steve and humanity in his ongoing Wonder Woman Run
Tom King’s portrayal of Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor’s relationship in his ongoing comic run has been remarkable, offering a fresh and nuanced exploration of their dynamic. However, I believe there is an untapped potential to deepen this depiction by incorporating the factors Diana expressed in Dead Earth For her love of Steve in the mainstream continuity. King has skillfully depicted Trevor as a crucial source of strength for Diana, but to fully capture the essence of their bond, it is essential to highlight the qualities that initially attracted Wonder Woman To him – his fear, curiosity, kindness and how these things contributed to Diana falling in love with all of humanity.
