DC Comics has once again inserted transgender ideology into its flagship superhero universe with the release of Justice League: Dream Girls, A DC Pride Event #1, a comic that spotlights a transgender version of Wonder Woman.
The issue dropped just in time for Pride Month and has already sparked widespread backlash from fans.
The plot follows Nia Nal, better known as Dreamer, a transgender superhero originally created for the CW’s Supergirl TV series and portrayed by transgender actor Nicole Maines.
In the story, Dreamer and her partner, Galaxy, enter an alternate reality via a dream sequence.
There, Nia Nal takes on the mantle of Wonder Woman, effectively replacing Diana Prince in a reimagined origin story on Themyscira.
Dreamer becomes the champion of the island, meets a wounded Steve Trevor, and steps into the role traditionally held by Diana.
The comic is co-written by Jadzia Axelrod and Nicole Maines, with art by Nicola Scott and others.
Incredible.

DC editor Andrea Shea praised the project in an interview with Attitude, stating, “The DC Pride priorities have always been to spotlight queer characters, serve as a launchpad for new, year-round DC storytelling, and celebrate our roster of incredible talent.”
Shea added that 2026 represents “the culmination of the last five years – what we’ve always been building toward: a series of stories that take place in the heart of DC continuity and serve as the next chapters for some of our most beloved characters.”
This is not a permanent change to the mainline Wonder Woman canon. Diana Prince remains the primary character in the ongoing Wonder Woman titles. The Dreamer storyline is framed as a “dream-dimension vignette” or alternate reality.
This is far from DC’s first run into transgender ideology.
DC introduced its first transgender character in 1991, in Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman. The character was portrayed tragically and killed off. They have added more in recent years.
The comic book company has also “queered” legacy characters, as noted by Breitbart News; for example, DC turned Alan Scott, the original Green Lantern, gay, made Jon Kent, Superman’s son, bisexual, and featured Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy in a prominent lesbian relationship.
DC’s 2023 queer Green Lantern reboot and 2022 bisexual Superman son series were both canceled after poor sales, with writers publicly blaming “queerphobic” fans.
