And while multiple characters have worn the mantle of Wonder Woman and Wonder Girl, Yara is the first to be wholly imagined by a female creator, Joëlle Jones. The DC Universe has never had an Amazon from the Amazon before. Yara’s introduction alone is a milestone. If all goes according to plan, she’ll also star in a currently-in-development CW series, and become the first Latina superhero to headline her own live-action TV show. That’s only the beginning: DC Comics tells Polygon that this May, Yara will become Wonder Girl of the main timeline in a stand-alone Wonder Girl book. The newly minted hero first appeared in January in the pages of Future State, the ambitious storytelling initiative that pauses the present DC superhero universe to explore its potential future. Yara Flor is the new Wonder Woman of a distant future - but she might be the future of DC Comics itself. Divine narration tells us that she might not be the perfect bridge between the world of mortals and the world of gods, but this young woman has been chosen for a grand destiny. She calls for help, roaring the name of her noble steed: “JERRY!”Īfter an undignified landing on her pegasus’ back, some stunt flying, and a few more snickersnacks of her sword, she defeats the hydra. Normally easy, but this time, her warrior’s sword isn’t making a dent. The target is a massive purple hydra with fanged teeth and eight slavering jaws. Deep in the Amazon rainforest, Yara Flor stalks her prey.
