Wonder Woman is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The character is a founding member of the Justice League. The character first appeared in All Star Comics #8 published October 21, 1941 with her first feature in Sensation Comics #1 in January 1942.

The Cheetah is a fictional supervillain appearing in DC Comics publications and related media. She is most commonly depicted as the archenemy of the superhero Wonder Woman; however, she has appeared as an enemy to other DC heroes, such as Batman and Superman. She was created by William Moulton Marston as an allegory of the folly of emotions such as jealousy, as well as to be another embodiment of what he called "less actively developed women" who needed emotional reform by a love leader. The Cheetah originally appeared in Wonder Woman #6. She has been described as "one of Wonder Woman's most iconic enemies."
General Steven Rockwell Trevor is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics, commonly in association with the superhero Wonder Woman. The character was created by William Moulton Marston and first appeared in All Star Comics #8. Steve Trevor is a trusted friend, love interest, and partner who introduces Diana to "Man's World", and has served as Wonder Woman's United Nations liaison. He is the first foreigner to have ever set foot on Themyscira and the first ambassador to open diplomatic relations with the Amazons; an extraordinary feat, given that Aphrodite's Law demands the death penalty for any man who sets foot on Themyscira.
Doctor Cyber is a fictional character appearing in DC Comics publications and related media, traditionally as an adversary of the superhero Wonder Woman. She first appeared in Wonder Woman, vol. 1, issue #179 (1968), written by Dennis O'Neil and illustrated by Mike Sekowsky and Dick Giordano.
Etta Candy is a fictional character appearing in DC Comics publications and related media, commonly as the best friend of the superhero Wonder Woman. A spirited, vivacious young woman with a devil-may-care attitude, Etta first appeared in Sensation Comics #2 (1942), written by Wonder Woman's creator William Moulton Marston. Enrolled in the fictional Holliday College for Women, Etta would become a constant feature of Wonder Woman's Golden Age adventures, effectively functioning as both the hero's plucky sidekick and her best friend in Man's World. Unapologetically proud of her plus-sized figure, "Etta's appearance was a stark contrast to the svelte, wasp-waisted women depicted in most comic books, and Etta was a brave and heroic leader who was always in the thick of the fight beside her friend Wonder Woman." Though appearing less frequently in the Silver and Bronze Age, Etta was a recurring presence in Wonder Woman's supporting cast throughout both periods. She would be re-imagined in March 1987 by comics writer/artist George Pérez as part of his reboot of the Wonder Woman mythos. This version, a former Air Force captain and intelligence officer, appeared consistently throughout Wonder Woman's post-Crisis adventures.

Veronica Cale is a fictional supervillain appearing in books published by DC Comics, primarily as an enemy of Wonder Woman. Cale is a genius-level intellect, extremely wealthy, and has extensive contacts and resources. Conflict-wise, Cale despises Wonder Woman for how society in-general praises Princess Diana as a paragon for feminism and womanhood so easily, whereas Cale has had to claw her way for every bit of success she has attained; and even then, Cale has often been disregarded. Another motivation for Cale—one that even she cannot openly admit to herself—is that Cale secretly lusts after Diana's power and stature; Cale's deepest desire is her wish that she could be "Wonder Woman", but also knows she never can be so.
The Children of Ares are fictional DC Comics characters who are the progeny of the DC deity character Ares/Mars, who is in turn based on the eponymous Greek/Roman deity and who has indeed sired many children in Greek mythological tales. Because Ares was historically depicted as one of the archenemies of the DC superheroine character Wonder Woman, most of his issue are frequently portrayed as her opponents, although a few would play a more benevolent supporting role in her self-titled comic book series.
