This is a list of the alternate versions of Wonder Woman from all media, including DC Comics multiverse, Elseworlds, television and film.

Mainstream

*Queen Hippolyta became Wonder Woman and joined the Justice Society (who made her their secretary) around World War II in post-"Crisis on Infinite Earths" continuity. In pre-"Crisis on Infinite Earths" continuity, Hippolyta assumed the mantle of Wonder Woman for one adventure in "Sensation Comics" #26.
*Artemis became Wonder Woman during Hippolyta's trials for a new Wonder Woman.
*Orana, a character similar to Artemis, defeated Diana in a new contest and became Wonder Woman in pre-"Crisis on Infinite Earths" continuity. She died during her first mission.
*Cassandra Sandsmark, the current Wonder Girl, becomes Wonder Woman in an alternate future as seen in the "Titans Tomorrow" story arc.
*Donna Troy was Wonder Woman in the first story arc "Wonder Woman" vol. 3, "Who is Wonder Woman?" before Diana came back. In her most recent continuity, Donna herself was originally created as a younger, magical duplicate of Diana.

Alternate universe depictions

*The Diana Prince of Earth-Two retroactively became the Golden Age Wonder Woman. Her world was retconned from existence during "Crisis on Infinite Earths". Diana and her husband were saved by the Greek gods and lived on Mt. Olympus. She made her last appearance in "Infinite Crisis" #5 (2006), imparting advice to the regular continuity Wonder Woman before vanishing from reality.
*Princess Tara Terruna was Wonder Woman's multiversal double on a parallel Earth, whose name translated to mean Wonder Woman, in DC's first parallel universe story, in "Wonder Woman" (vol. 1) #59.
*Superwoman is Earth-Three's supervillain analogue to Wonder Woman. In her anti-matter universe incarnation, Superwoman's secret identity is Lois Lane, and she is unwillingly married to Ultraman, her fellow Crime Syndicate member, that world's counterpart to Superman. However, she is also involved in an adulterous affair with Owlman, her world's counterpart to Batman. However, both villains seem to pursue their relationship more out of spite for Ultraman than out of any genuine love for each other. Another version of Superwoman resides on the new Earth-3 and is a member of the Crime Society of America. This Superwoman and her team are analogues for the Earth-2 Wonder Woman and the Justice Society of America respectively. Unlike her standard Amazonian counterpart, the Earth-Three Wonder Woman would appear to possess uncharacteristic abilities such as heat vision.
*The Wonder Woman that appeared in Tangent Comics was a genetically engineered alien being intended to bridge the gaps between two warring alien species, one with brute strength, the other with psionic powers. This being possesses both. This has become Earth-9.
*Earth-10, which is under the control of the Nazi Party, depicts an alternate Wonder Woman who is a red-haired Valkyrie, worships the Norse gods and comes from Asgard. She is a member of the JL-Axis, a Nazi-themed Justice League. The character first debuts in "Countdown to Adventure" #3 (2007).
*Earth-11's version of Wonder Woman is "Wonder Man", who is referred to by Superwoman as "Dane". More violent and aggressive than his feminine counterparts, Wonder Man was expelled from the JLA for his unrepentant stance on executing Maxine Lord. He went on to lead his brothers, the Amazonians, in an attack on the modern world.
*On Earth-15, it is shown that Diana has passed away and that Donna Troy has replaced her as Wonder Woman. The character first debuts "Countdown" #30 (2007).
*The Justice Riders Elseworlds limited series presented a version of Wonder Woman who is a marshal operating in the Wild West. This alternate Wonder Woman resides on Earth-18.
*The limited series presented a Wonder Woman who was similar to the 1950s’ incarnation of the character. This alternate Wonder Woman resides on Earth-21.
*The Kingdom Come limited series feature an alternate Wonder Woman who is similar to the mainstream version. Having been created immortal by the gods, she retains her youth despite the passage of decades, and is romantically involved with a middle-aged Superman. She eventually becomes pregnant with his child. This alternate Wonder Woman resides on Earth-22.
* depicts a reality where Superman's spaceship landed in Russia rather than the United States, where Wonder Woman serves as ambassador to Superman's Soviet Union. She falls in love with Superman, who remains unaware of her attraction to him, but eventually becomes disillusioned when he becomes a dictator. She eventually raises an army to stop him, but is defeated. This alternate Wonder Woman resides on Earth-30.
*The incarnation of Wonder Woman, a resident of Earth-31 remains an ageless beauty, and with Superman she has had an Amazon-Kryptonian hybrid daughter, Lara. This is supposed to be the same character that appears in All Star Batman and Robin wherein she is depicted as much more aggressive and misandristic than her mainstream counterpart and is shown to be at odds with Superman, heatedly arguing with him at one point over how to deal with Batman. Despite this, their future romance is alluded to and both characters appear attracted to each other as the argument ends with a sudden kiss.
*The limited series depicts an alternate version of Diana who was born during the 19th century at a time when Jack the Ripper gained control of the British Empire. She is snatched away from Paradise Island by Captain Steven Trevor and the Royal Marines. She is forced to marry Trevor and becomes the star of a London theatrical show, reenacting tales of women from the Bible. She eventually shows herself to be a great heroine, freeing oppressed women from all over the Empire and taking on the terrible reign of King Jack. This alternate Wonder Woman resides on Earth-34. This version is later chosen by Monarch in "" (2007) to be a part of his strike team.
*The Wildstorm Universe of Earth-50 was once home to its own counterparts of the JLA, who appear in the series "Planetary". This Wonder Woman possessed shapeshifting bracelets. In "Stormwatch", it is shown that Apollo and Midnighter were once the Superman and Batman near-counterparts on a team which "also" carried a Wonder Woman counterpart, called Amaze who was killed in her first mission.
*An alternate version called "Bizarra" is shown to be working for Monarch in Lord Havok and the Extremists #3.
*The DC One Million Wonder Woman: A marble statue granted life by the Goddess of Truth. She has similar powers to the original and also carries two shape changing weapons similar in nature to Diana's invisible jet, which typically act as her sentient bracelets, Charity and Harmony. She operates from Venus.

Other Elseworlds and alternate timelines

*"": Set in a Nazi-controlled future.
*"" is the third volume of the Elseworlds trilogy "Superman's Metropolis" and features a Diana Prince based on the film "Der blaue Engel".
* In the Elseworlds story "Superman: Distant Fires", Wonder Woman finds a powerless Superman following a nuclear holocaust and brings him to a village inhabited by surviving metahumans. There Billy Batson and Superman vie for her affections. Superman wins, and they have a child named Bruce in honor of the late Batman. This leads Batson to kill Wonder Woman.
*In the "Elseworlds 80-Page Giant" story "Rockumentary", one of Lex Luthor's musicians was a pop diva named Diana. This version of Wonder Woman was a cross between herself and Madonna.

*"Just Imagine": Marvel Comics' Stan Lee and artist Jim Lee reimagine Wonder Woman as Peruvian María Mendoza, reborn as a warrior who wields a staff forged by Incan gods.
