Indexer Notes

-Aphrodite explains that this Steve Trevor came from another, unknown Earth in the multiverse
-the goddess uses the mists of Nepenthe to wrap the entire Earth so that the whole world forgets about the previous Steve Trevor, just as Diana has
-in Diana's "new" reality, her career until this time is intact, just without Steve Trevor
-first Earth-One appearance of the Purple Ray and Magic Sphere in the Wonder Woman comic; in this incarnation, the Sphere is a freestanding giant crystal ball, not wall-mounted
-the Purple Ray is kept in the temple of Athena
-Cleo and Artesia are called Diana's closest friends
-unlike previous contests, a 3-way swordfight is the final contest, not bullets and bracelets
