<P> The Diana Prince alias also played an important role after the events of Infinite Crisis . Wonder Woman was broadcast worldwide killing a villain named Maxwell Lord, as he was mind controlling Superman into killing Batman . When Wonder Woman caught him in her lasso, demanding to know how to stop Superman, Maxwell revealed that the only way to stop him was to kill Lord, so as a last resort Diana snapped his neck . To recover from the trauma of killing another person, the Amazon went into a self - imposed exile for one year . On her return to public life, Diana realized that her life as a full - time celebrity superhero and ambassador had kept her removed from humanity . Because of this she assumed the persona of Diana Prince and became an agent at the Department of Metahuman Affairs . During a later battle with the witch Circe, a spell was placed on Diana leaving her powerless when not in the guise of Wonder Woman . </P> <P> In the current New 52 universe, Diana does not have a secret identity as stated in an interview by series writer Brian Azzarello . However, when she and Superman began dating, for her civilian identity she uses the Diana Prince alias whenever she is around Clark Kent; such as when she introduced herself to Lois Lane at Lois's housewarming party under that name . </P> <P> Princess Diana commands respect both as Wonder Woman and Diana Prince; her epithetical title--The Amazon Princess--illustrates the dichotomy of her character . She is a powerful, strong - willed character who does not back down from a fight or a challenge . Yet, she is a diplomat who strongly "favors the pen", and a lover of peace who would never seek to fight or escalate a conflict . She's simultaneously both the most fierce and most nurturing member of the Justice League; and her political connections as a United Nations Honorary Ambassador and the ambassador of a warrior nation makes her an invaluable addition to the team . With her powerful abilities, centuries of training and experienced at handling threats that range from petty crime to threats that are of a magical or supernatural nature, Diana is capable of competing with nearly any hero or villain . </P> <P> Many writers have depicted Diana in different personalities and tone; between both of her diametric extremes; that of a worldy warrior, a highly compassionate and calm ambassador, and sometimes also as a naive and innocent person, depending on the writer . What has remained constant, and is a mainstay of the character, is her nurturing humanity: her overwhelming belief in love, empathy, compassion, and having a strong conscience . This trait had been the reason for her induction into the Star Sapphires . </P>
