The following contains spoilers for Wonder Woman #800, on sale now from DC Comics.
This week's Wonder Woman #800 introduces Trinity, the daughter of Wonder Woman, in a story by the upcoming creative team of the soon-to-be-relaunched Wonder Woman series, namely writer Tom King, penciler Daniel Sampere, colorist Tomeu Morey and letterer Clayton Cowles, that direclty sets up the first story arc of the new series.
The story is set in the future, and shows a team-up of the now grown "Trinity" of Jonathan Kent as Superman, Damian Wayne as Batman and their newest member, Trinity, while subtly revealing facts about her throughout the story.
What is Trinity's "real name"?
The three heroes are on a slightly-off-book mission to a magical cave, with Superman and Batman referring to Trinity as "Lizzie" throughout the story. Eventually, once she gets through the defenses of the cave with the help of her Justice League colleagues (we learn in the tale that Trinity is the leader of the League in the future), she finds a mysterious prisoner whose story will lead into the upcoming Wonder Woman series.
Once there, she reveals her real name, and it is Elizabeth Marston Prince. Elizabeth Marston, of course, is a reference to Elizabeth Holloway Marston, the wife of Wonder Woman co-creator William Moulton Marston. Elizabeth Marston played a major role in the creation of Wonder Woman (as did Marston's other domestic partner at the time, Olive Byrne), but she does not get that much public credit, so this is a way for King to honor an unsung player in Wonder Woman's history.
Where does the name Trinity come from?
The story also reveals where the name Trinity comes from in the comics. After Superman and Batman pass their challenges, Trinity has her challenge, and instead of using the Golden Lasso of Truth, she instead pulls out a Black Lasso, which has distinctive properties of its own. Apparently, Trinity wields three different magic lassos, besides just her mother's lasso of truth.
The story ends with Trinity confronting the mysterious prisoner, who begins to tell Trinity a story from the past, which will be explored in detail in the upcoming Wonder Woman series.
Wonder Woman #800 is on sale now. Wonder Woman #1 is due out Sep. 19.
