Romance in comic books is often more complicated than in soap operas, including the comics starring Wonder Woman. This is partially due to comics' longevity and the writers' desire to create something new and fresh for their characters every few years. Superheroes with iconic love stories, such as Spider-Man with Mary Jane or Batman with Catwoman, can never last and always face dilemmas.

Wonder Woman, of course, is not immune to this romantic conundrum amid her many reboots. She has had several relationships, often ending up with the same characters repeatedly, just in new ways. This Amazonian knows herself well, and she knows what she's into. She loves strong and capable individuals, as it has been mentioned that she has been with a few of her Amazonian people and each of the men she has been with after leaving have pretty much all been capable, whether from the military or superheroes themselves.

Updated on April 2, 2024 by Scoot Allan: Wonder Woman has had several love interests over the years, with some being fellow heroes and members of the Justice League. With her beauty, grace, power, and heroism, it's no wonder so many have fallen in love with her. Some of these Wonder Woman love interests are more fitting than others, with a few potential suitors in particular standing the test of time.

12 Kate Kane is the Gotham City Protector Known as Batwoman

She's A Superhero Whom Wonder Woman Shares Chemistry With

A few years ago, it was confirmed that Wonder Woman was officially bisexual and had past relations with some of the Amazonian women she grew up with. However, since the announcement, no woman has been an actual on-page Wonder Woman love interest yet. It has been implied she was with Mala and Kaisa, but those were in the past.

Batwoman is an openly lesbian character in the DC Universe. While she brutally beat Wonder Woman up in the Injustice universe, in the Batwoman comics, the two worked together to defeat a common foe and worked super well together. It would be an interesting take for Wonder Woman to pursue something with Kate potentially.

11 Orion Is A Powerful New God And the Son Of Darkseid

He is an Obnoxious Side Character Whom Wonder Woman Kissed

The son of Darkseid, Orion became a side character to Wonder Woman in the New 52 series where the new god constantly attempted to seduce and flirt with Diana. This made him the most unconventional of Wonder Woman's love interests. In Wonder Woman (Vol.4) #19 by Brian Azzarello, Goran Sudžuka, Tony Akins, and Dan Green, Diana has just about enough of Orion's innuendos and she kisses him to shut him up.

The plan backfires, however, as it only fuels Orion's comments, leading Diana to punch him in the face. This is as far as the relationship goes, but it's worth noting nonetheless. Since then, the two characters have not interacted, and theirs is far less than a torrid love affair.

10 Alethea Inspired Diana To Become Wonder Woman

She Was an Amazonian Stablewoman Who Tended Queen Hippollyta's Horses

In Jill Thompson's 2016 one-shot Wonder Woman: The True Amazon, Diana becomes obsessed with winning the heart of Alethea, an Amazonian stablewoman who pays no mind to the princess. She is written as a spoiled brat who wants only the adoration of everyone on Themyscira.

Diana zeroes in on Alethea and does whatever she can to win the young woman's affection. While Diana is on the right path, her selfish actions ultimately lead to Alethea's death after she comes to Diana's rescue. This made the young Amazon perhaps the most pivotal of Wonder Woman's relationships.

9 Mala Competed Against Diana For The Title of Wonder Woman

She Was Also Diana's Former Themysciran Lover

Mala is one of the Amazonian Wonder Woman's love interests, confirmed in the Earth-1 story of Wonder Woman. The two cared for one another and were often on even ground in terms of strength and combat abilities. When Mala appears again in the comics after Wonder Woman leaves with Steve Trevor, she seems rather annoyed with Diana for leaving with the random man. In Earth-1, she fought to bring Diana back home.

The character wasn't prominent in the post-Crisis on Infinite Earths continuity, with new characters such as Queen Hippolyta's consort Phillipus introduced. Nevertheless, Mala was brought back in William Messner-Loeb's Wonder Woman run. Although she hasn't remained a major part of the mythos since then, she was once a firm member of the Amazons alongside Diana.

8 Keith Griggs Was An Air Force Pilot Who Worked With Steve trevor

He Was A Man Who Loved Diana But Not Wonder Woman

Keith Griggs was a bit strange and complicated relationship compared to Diana's first main love. Keith worked with Diana and Steve Trevor as an Air Force pilot. He and Diana formed a bond while some complications were occurring with Steve, but while Keith felt like he loved Diana, he didn't love Wonder Woman. Thus, he wasn't a true Wonder Woman partner.

It was a bit of a mess, and Diana eventually left Keith for Steve Trevor once again. Keith hasn't been seen since. This is par for the course with Wonder Woman's pre-Crisis era, particularly her Silver Age and Bronze Age adventures. In the grand scheme of things, these are largely glossed over, with even important Wonder Woman characters from this era barely showing up in modern comics.

7 Tom Tresser Was A Skilled Secret Agent Known As Nemesis

He Was A Man Who Could Have Settled Down With Wonder Woman

Tom Tresser, known as the vigilante Nemesis, lived a double life. After some sad romances in the past, Wonder Woman was finally ready to settle down and start a family, even proposing to Tom. Unfortunately, the "family life" didn't suit Tom's lifestyle, as he was often out fighting bad guys with his amazing combat and disguise skills, which he learned while working as a secret agent.

Before she proposes, Wonder Woman admits that she doesn't love him; she likes him and that he fits with Amazonian culture well. Despite this, Diana's mother requests that the two have children soon. Of course, Wonder Woman is soon enthralled in the controversial "Odyssey" storyline, which ended due to the New 52 reboot. Since then, Nemesis has never really interacted with Diana.

6 Trevor Barnes Was A Mortal Who Worked And Fought Alongside Wonder Woman

He Won Diana's Heart, Though They Decided To Stay Friends

Trevor Barnes and Diana had a pretty sweet relationship. When she first met him, she immediately fell for the Human Rights Activist and became smitten by him. But he was a bit wary, as he thought she was too good for him and way out of his league. Once Trevor Barnes heard that she felt she had weaknesses, he agreed to go on a date with Wonder Woman.

The two end up in a complicated situation with his family and decide they are better off as friends. Shortly after, Trevor was killed after being host to a mad god, devastating Diana. Created by prominent Wonder Woman fan Phil Jimenez, his name was likely an obvious homage to Steve Trevor.

5 Arthur Curry Is A Powerful Half-Atlantean Regent Known As Aquaman,

The King of Atlantis Had An Affair With Flashpoint's Wonder Woman

In the Flashpoint story arc, Aquaman and Wonder Woman had an extremely rocky relationship that caused the entire world to drive into chaos. While married to Queen Mera, as he is often in the regular timeline, Aquaman cheats on the Queen of the Sea with the Amazonian Goddess, Wonder Woman.

Mera confronted Wonder Woman about this affair, to which Wonder Woman lashed out and killed the Sea Queen. Aquaman then declared an all-out war against the Amazons, making it a battle between land and sea, leaving all of Earth to suffer from their messy affair.

4 Kaisa Was Reborn as an Amazon And Had A Deep Hatred for Man's World

She Was Diana's First Female Love Interest In The Comics

Kaisa was one of Wonder Woman's main romantic partners before she left Paradise Island with Steve Trevor. Upon Steve's arrival, it seemed like Diana and Kaisa were an item, as Kaisa expressed that her heart would be broken if Wonder Woman did decide to leave with him.

Kaisa is Diana's first main female love interest to be seen in the comics, and their relationship seems a lot more subtle compared to some of her other romances in the past. While Kaisa appeared in the DC Rebirth era, she hasn't been seen much since.

3 Bruce Wayne Avenges His Parents' Death As The Vigilante Named Batman

Thier Romantic Relationship Has Been Teased On Screen & In The Comics

While the Justice League animated series makes it seem like Bruce and Diana have a huge thing, they aren't an item in the comics too often. If anything, this romance often seems way more one-sided, with Bruce being the main one who harbors all the feelings. It was largely a thing in the DC Animated Universe, where Batman got the most attention of any hero, anyway.

Over the years, Bruce and Diana have had a few intimate encounters. One of these resulted in her decking him in the face, but they never seemed to have a full relationship. Again, this is likely for the best, as it's highly likely that she might play second fiddle to the Dark Knight's Gotham City.

2 Kal-El/Clark Kent Is A Powerful Kryptonian Known as Superman

He Is Her Equal In Both Strength & Romantic Potential

Unlike Wonder Woman's main love interest, Superman is always her next go-to guy. In the comics, Wonder Woman and Superman have had several relationships throughout their history. They often fall in love and are the two who can handle each other best, physically and mentally.

They understand each other, probably better than anyone else, as they both live on this strange borderline between gods and humans, struggling to find their place. Superman and Wonder Woman have always had ups and downs but seemingly can't stay away from each other, which has made him the most recurring love interest.

1 Steve Trevor Was A Pilot Who Accidentally Landed on Paradise Island

He Was Diana's Original & Ultimate Love Interest

Just like every superhero has a main love interest, Wonder Woman's boyfriend is Steve Trevor. Steve has been the love of Wonder Woman's life even though he repeatedly comes in and out of her story, dying, being reborn or resurrected in some magical way, and so on.

Steve was the first non-Amazonian Wonder Woman seen, and he represents so much to her. Steve Trevor always seems not too far behind throughout her time in the comics. In the George Pérez Wonder Woman comics, he was removed as the love interest and made older. Nevertheless, he's now back as her main squeeze, and given that this is the role he was intended for, it's for the best.
