WARNING: Contains Potential Spoilers for ABSOLUTE POWER: TASK FORCE VII #6!
Wonder Woman’s iconic Paradise Island first appeared alongside her in Action Comics #8 (1941), and now, after 83 years, the Amazon Princess is officially and physically cut off from her homeland. This development carries significant consequences, especially with the birth of Trinity, Wonder Woman’s daughter, fast approaching. Fans are left wondering where the baby Amazon will call home.
In Absolute Power: Task Force VII #6, written by Stephanie Williams and illustrated by Khary Randolph, Amanda Waller’s Wonder Woman-inspired Amazo, the Amazo-N, sets its sights on Themyscira. Its mission is to locate and drain the powers of the DC heroes who fled there following Waller’s devastating attack on Superman’s Fortress of Solitude.
This development places Queen Nubia and her Amazons directly in the crosshairs of the Absolute Power conflict. The resulting attack leads to a deadly confrontation between the Amazons and the Amazo-N, culminating in severe consequences, including Wonder Woman’s exile from her beloved homeland.
“The AMAZO-N”
is an unofficial, Screen Rant-given nickname to the Wonder Woman-inspired Amazo, who is currently unnamed.

Wonder Woman Is Exiled From Themyscira In Absolute Power: Task Force VII #6
The Amazo-N announces its assault on Themyscira with a shocking display of lethal force, killing an Amazon—only the second time an Amazo has resorted to such violence. With Amazon blood on its hands, the Amazo-N turns its attention to the Well of Souls, one of Themyscira’s most sacred and powerful sites, which houses the souls of countless women. After defeating the Amazons in battle, the Amazo-N begins to absorb the immense power from the well, including the essence of Eve “Whisperia” Baptiste. By tapping into Eve’s soul, the Amazo-N gains her powers of folk magic and mysticism.
Following this absorption, the Amazo-N destroys the Well of Souls before delivering Amanda Waller’s message to Queen Nubia: “I gave you a choice, Queen Nubia—to stand with us or stand aside. You chose to cross the line by sheltering those who defy me. Now you and your Amazons will learn what it means to be truly isolated.” True to Waller’s threat, the Amazo-N uses its newly acquired powers to isolate the island completely, preventing anyone from entering or leaving, including Wonder Woman herself. Consequently, the Amazo-N’s actions result in Diana’s indefinite exile from her homeland.
The AMAZO-N Is a God-Level Being That Just Spirited-Away a Whole Island
Wonder Woman’s Future as Themyscira’s Queen Is More Uncertain Than Ever
The Amazo-N is one of six power-stealing Amazos in Amanda Waller’s Failsafe-led Task Force VII. Waller employs these Amazos to hunt down Earth’s metahuman population, drain them of their powers, and unjustly imprison them in her secret prison. As one of the most formidable members of Task Force VII, the Amazo-N has absorbed the powers of Wonder Woman, the Shazam kids, John Constantine, Detective Chimp, Madame Xanadu, and notably, Jim “the Spectre” Corrigan, one of the most powerful beings in the DC Universe. These arcane powers enable the Amazo-N to locate and attack the typically cloaked Island of Themyscira.
Themyscira has been a central element of Wonder Woman’s story for over 83 years. Once ruled by Diana’s mother, Queen Hippolyta, the island is now led by Queen Nubia. Recently, it has featured prominently in various DC narratives, including Josie Campbell’s Amazons Attack!, Tom King’s ongoing Wonder Woman and Trinity runs, and DC’s summer crisis event, Absolute Power. Future storylines, such as King’s Trinity, have hinted that Diana may one day inherit the throne and become queen of Themyscira. However, the Amazo-N’s attack and the island’s subsequent physical separation from the rest of the world—including Wonder Woman herself—cast doubt on this future.
Where Will Wonder Woman Raise Her Daughter If She is Exiled From Themyscira?
The Birth of Diana Prince’s Daughter Is Set to Take Place in Wonder Woman #14
The development of Diana’s isolation from Themyscira in Absolute Power: Task Force VII #6 is likely to reverberate through Tom King’s ongoing Wonder Woman storyline. Fans are left wondering how King will address Diana’s newfound separation from one of her most iconic legacies, especially as the birth of Wonder Woman’s daughter draws near. King has been the lead writer for both Wonder Woman and its companion series, Trinity, with the latter focusing on future storylines featuring Lizzie as a teenager and Damian Wayne and Jon Kent as young adults.
However, it seems that the Wonder Woman and Trinity storylines will soon intersect in the present, with the birth of Elizabeth “Trinity” Prince set to be featured in Wonder Woman #14 and #15. Diana’s current exile from Themyscira raises a significant question: where will she raise her daughter if not on the island surrounded by her fellow Amazons? While it is disheartening that Trinity will be deprived of her rightful home, this scenario opens up the intriguing possibility of baby Lizzie growing up among the Justice League, which would undoubtedly be more than entertaining.
Wonder Woman WILL Return to Themyscira (We Just Don’t Know When or How)
Tom King’s Trinity Series Confirms That Diana and Lizzie Prince’s Future Includes Paradise Island
While the future of Themyscira remains uncertain, the island’s isolation from the rest of the world is unlikely to be permanent. Fans have reason to believe this, thanks to the Trinity series, which, as previously mentioned, takes place around a decade in the future. In many issues of Trinity, Lizzie, Damian, and Jon are shown having adventures on the island, and one issue even confirms that Wonder Woman becomes the queen of the Amazons. Thus, if King’s Trinity series is any indication, Diana will eventually be able to return home, and Lizzie will have the chance to know and experience Paradise Island.
Despite this reassurance that Themyscira won’t remain isolated forever, fans are still left in the dark about how long the island’s isolation will last and how the Amazo-N’s spell will be undone. One thing is certain: Wonder Woman and her lore are poised for significant changes in the near future, especially if King follows through by integrating Diana’s daughter into the present-day main continuity. It remains to be seen how fans will react to these changes, but we can only hope that King will build on the recent developments in Wonder Woman’s lore and elevate them to new heights.
