Steve Trevor

A skilled U.S. military pilot and intelligence officer, Steve Trevor crash-landed on the hidden island of Themyscira, becoming the first man the Amazons had encountered in centuries. His arrival prompted Princess Diana to leave her homeland and enter the world of humanity as Wonder Woman.

Few characters can claim they helped launch one of comics' greatest icons, but Steve Trevor has that distinction — debuting in Sensation Comics #1 in 1942, co-created by William Marston and Harry Peter, he arrived at the very dawn of the Golden Age and has never really left. Over an extraordinary 84-year publishing history spanning 236 catalog appearances, Trevor has shared the page with Princess Diana, Diana Prince, Superman, Green Lantern, and Etta Candy, placing him squarely at the heart of DC's most storied adventures. His name appears most prominently across Wonder Woman, DC Comics: Bombshells, and Absolute Wonder Woman, and with 10 collector-recognized key issues to his name, he's the kind of supporting player whose presence signals that something important is happening on the page. If you want to trace the full sweep of DC history from its Golden Age roots to the present day, Steve Trevor is an indispensable thread running through it all.
