Captain Steve Trevor

A U.S. Army intelligence officer, Steve Trevor crash-landed on the hidden Paradise Island, becoming the first man the Amazons had ever encountered. His arrival prompted Princess Diana to leave Themyscira and accompany him back to the outside world as Wonder Woman.

Few characters can claim they were present at the very birth of one of comics' most iconic figures — Captain Steve Trevor made his debut in All-Star Comics #8 in 1941, the same landmark Golden Age issue that introduced Wonder Woman to the world, making his first appearance a genuine collector's key. A DC mainstay whose presence stretched across nearly five decades through 1987, Trevor is most closely associated with the Wonder Woman series, where he shares the page with Princess Diana herself, as well as luminaries like Superman and Green Lantern. Created by Gardner Fox and Stan Asch, he's a fascinating thread woven through DC's Golden Age tapestry and beyond — and for any fan tracing the roots of DC's most celebrated heroine, Captain Steve Trevor is an essential piece of that origin story.
