![]() Wonder Woman 1984 gives the Golden Eagle armor a fresh, more detailed origin story, but it reproduces the appearance almost perfectly. Those lavish golden wings are an important part of the design, and some stories have hinted they give Diana greater maneuverability in flight when she is wearing the armor. Artist Alex Ross' design was absolutely stunning, and it didn't take it long to make its way into the main comic book continuity. In the comics, Wonder Woman's Golden Eagle armor first appeared in the 1996 mini-series Kingdom Come, an Elseworlds story. And Wonder Woman 1984 may have already dropped enough hints to suggest that this version of Asteria is a lot more like Diana than Wonder Woman herself suspects. ![]() The character has only ever had a few brief mentions in the comic books themselves, meaning there is almost no precedent, and Jenkins can basically do whatever she likes. It's impossible to say whether this was just a fun Easter egg, or whether director Patty Jenkins intends to develop Asteria further in Wonder Woman 3. The character was played by none other than Lynda Carter, the actress who played Wonder Woman in the popular 1970s TV show.

Diana did, however, recover the golden armor - which proved essential during her battle with Cheetah in Wonder Woman 1984's final act. Apparently Diana sought out Asteria when she left Themyscira during the First World War, but she was unable to find her and eventually assumed that Asteria had died long ago. A warrior woman known as Asteria stayed behind, donning almost-invincible golden armor in order to fend off the attacking waves of men and give her people time to flee. Wonder Woman 1984 further developed this story, revealing that the Amazons were forced to sacrifice one of their own in order to escape mankind. ![]()
