About Steve Trevor in brief

Summary Steve TrevorGeneral Steven Rockwell Trevor is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The character was created by William Moulton Marston and first appeared in All Star Comics #8. He has been voiced by actors such as Tahmoh Penikett, Nathan Fillion, and George Newbern, among others in various Wonder Woman and Justice League productions. In the original version of Wonder Woman’s origin story, Steve Trevor was an intelligence officer in the United States Army Air Forces during World War II whose plane crashed on Paradise Island, the isolated homeland of the Amazons. He was nursed back to health by the Amazon princess Diana, who fell in love with him and accompanied him when he returned to the outside world. In more recent portrayals, and particularly since DC’s 2011 reboot, Steve is portrayed as a senior government agent and super spy. In 2013, in his capacity as a skilled government agent, Steve himself became the member of a new incarnation of the Justice League of America. Steve Trevor holds the distinction of being the first foreigner to have ever set foot on Themyscira, the first man Diana has ever seen, and the first ambassador to open diplomatic relations with the Amzons. Thecharacter was killed off in Wonder Woman #180, shot by the henchmen of Doctor Cyber. In a WW letter column in issue #195, artist Mike Sekowsky explained, “Steve Trevor was dull and boring and I didn’t like him much, so I disposed of him.” The character has been portrayed by Lyle Waggoner in the 1970s Wonder Woman series, while Chris Pine portrayed him in the DC Extended Universe films Wonder Woman and Wonder Woman 1984.

The character is purposely made blond, which stemmed from Marston’s belief that the best romantic combination is a blue-eyed brunette girl and a blond man. Although Steve, at times, has rescued Wonder Woman, at other times, he has at times pined after the superheroine in the red-and-blue outfit while failing to notice her resemblance to his meek, bespectacled secretary Prince Princeek. He is often a primary love interest; their relationship was often flirtatious, yet they always remained steadfast friends. His marriage proposals were often rejected, as Diana prioritized saving the world first before marriage, in accordance with Aphrodite’s Law. Trevor, Superman and Batman are the only men in theDC Universe to be granted honorary citizenship by Queen Hippolyta; an extraordinary feat, given that AphrodITE’s Law demands the death penalty for any man who sets foot on Himyscira. He often fought battles and alongside Wonder Woman; he was also a traditional superhero’s love interest and gentleman-in-jeopardy: getting kidnapped and being rescued from peril by Wonder Woman. He also developed a close relationship with the heroine, though a military man with experience in the field, as well as Wonder Woman coming to Steve’s rescue.
