Although if you want my honest opinion, I prefer her being both the orphan that got rescued backstory plus the Titans of Myth. The reason she somehow debuted as Wonder Girl before Wonder Woman ever appeared was because she got returned in the wrong year.

With an added "Dark Angel entered the scene and made a mess of everything to try and strip Donna of her past and make her life sheer hell." Nothing more evil than leaving someone so unsure of their past they're in constant doubt of their memories.

What's the Robin thing?

Robin, the Boy Wonder

Dick and Donna sitting in a tree .. K I S S I NG ...

first comes love, then comes marriage

then comes Robin pushing a baby carriage!

yay!

I voted for the orphan origin as I liked the story, "Who is Donna Troy?" that I read in my father's collection.

So how is that a Donna origin? Did she knock up Mr. Grayson-Troy, who then gave birth to his own wife? That's kind of impressive but yet also pretty gross -- and has kinda been DONE.

Also maybe makes Bats his own grandpa or something, it's a little too early for me to be doing STEM stuff.

Man, I like her Perez/Wolfman outfit, and the black version of that outfit, and her Troia outfit and her Darkstars look! Donna just looks good in anything!

I personally prefer the black Troia costume, but the one that doesn't show off her boobs.

It felt like unnecessary sexification and I was always wondering how her breasts weren't constantly slipping out of that top.

My favorite was the one cut like her traditional Wonder Girl costume, but made out of the Troia starfield.

I prefer her classic origin. Titans of Myth was an acceptable save.

Also, because so many people have said it in other fora, I want to make this clear even though no one here has said it: Her 90s origin DID NOT retcon Who is Donna Troy? It only affected events AFTER she was in the burning building, nothing before it. Lots of people seem to assume that Who Is Wonder Girl erased that earlier story. As far as I know. WIDT lasted all the way until New 52. People who understood the Dark Angel story better than I did can correct me if I'm wrong.

The Phil Jiminez mini that had her remember all of her other versions did not, IIRC, actually do much to clear up what series of events actually happened in the at that time current continuity. It just made it irrelevant.

Despite the poll's opening line, I don't think all the choices were actually meant to be origins. I'm pretty sure "killed by a Superman robot" was not itself an origin.

My take has become "as long as I can understand what her personality and history with the Titans and WW are, I am perfectly happy letting all those other questions go unanswered. Trying to fix the holes has done far more harm than good, and I don't think any of them were actually satisfying.

BTW, will there be a Supergirl poll? I have a hankering to vote for her cheerleader costume.

I'll say this. I'm under the impression the original Donna and the New 52 Donna truly are separate individuals.

They've said Doctor Manhattan messed with the last ten years in the DCU, and from what I've read in the New 52 and Rebirth, the current Donna was only recently born from clay. Regardless if you're counting Meredith Finch or Dan Abnett's take, N52!Donna was born within the ten years Manhattan screwed up.

Since original Donna was born before those ten years, that means N52!Donna is a brand new knockoff Manhattan created to replace the original Donna with. Just like he did with Wally West, Tim Drake, Bart Allen, and Kon-El. Which leaves me wondering what happened to the real Donna and if she can return like Wally did.
