Issue Plot Summary: "The Choice"

The main story centers on a high-stakes psychic conflict rather than a standard physical brawl:

• The Sacrifice: Wonder Woman is locked in a fierce battle against the mind-controlling villain Doctor Psycho. To protect innocent bystanders, Diana throws herself in front of a devastating psychic attack.
• The Dream World Trap: The mental blast knocks Diana unconscious and traps her mind inside a highly convincing, artificial alternate reality. In this dreamscape, she lives a quiet, mundane life where she is married to a man named Douglas and possesses no memory of her superpowers or Amazonian heritage.
• Hawkgirl's Rescue: Outside the dream, her Justice League ally Hawkgirl steps into the fray to battle Doctor Psycho in the physical world. Hawkgirl uses her voice to pierce through the psychic barrier, calling out to Diana to break the illusion.
• The Awakening: Spurred by Hawkgirl's voice, Diana recognizes the flaws in the simulation, breaks free from Doctor Psycho's mind control, and binds him with the Lasso of Truth to secure his arrest.
