One character that tends to get glossed over in the Wonder Woman canon is the first Diana Prince. In the first story, Princess Diana buys the identity of war nurse Diana Prince so she can be near Steve Trevor. Well, in issue 9 we see what the first Ms. Prince has been up to and boy. Might be a good reason not to buy someone's identity without doing a background check first.
Basically, Diana was engaged (and now married) to Dan White, a fellow who thinks no woman of his should work, even though his job as an inventor has managed to bring the family a whopping sum of nothing. He also keeps confusing Wonder Woman for Diana before getting involved with the mysterious Dr. Cue.
Cue is actually the head of Japan's spies and the whole smacks of 40's racism. Wonder Woman manages to get Diana to go back to her husband, even the man has no issue with chaining a woman to the stove.
