DC's New Wonder Woman Is The Champion Of The Year 2050

DC's new Wonder Woman, Yara Flor, is the champion of the year 2050. DC Comics has recently announced the Future State initiative, a two-month, line-wide event with dramatic ramifications. Launching in January 2021, Future State will explore the future of the DC universe, introducing new heroes and exploring the legacies of iconic characters such as Batman and Superman.

As part of Future State, DC will introduce a new character named Yara Flor as the new Wonder Woman. Details are currently scarce, but DC has confirmed Yara Flor is a Brazilian hero, daughter of an Amazon and a local god. She wears beautiful gold armor with red outlines underneath it, and she wields a far deadlier version of the Lasso of Truth, one with balls on the end of it to transform it into a far more dangerous offensive weapon. DC certainly seems confident Yara Flor will be a hit - and so do The CW, who have already commissioned a new Arrowverse TV series starring Yara Flor as Wonder Girl.

DC has published a new Future State timeline, helping readers get a sense of when each series is set. Yara Flor is confirmed to appear in Justice League, which is set in the year 2040, but she feels a little younger on the cover of Justice League #1 - raising the possibility she'll just be Wonder Girl there. The main Wonder Woman series is set a decade later, in the year 2050, with Yara Flor taking up the mantle at last. This naturally raises the curious question of just what has happened to the original Wonder Woman during these years.

It's certainly going to be exciting to learn Yara Flor's origins. For one thing, how does an Amazonian wind up in Brazil hooking up with a local god in the first place, resulting in Yara Flor's being born? Given the timescale, there are two likely possibilities; either there's an Amazonian colony in Brazil that Diana doesn't know about, or in the present day her people are about to leave Themyscira and settle there. In the latter scenario, it's even possible Yara Flor is the daughter of someone Diana knows. giving her a direct connection into Wonder Woman's legacy.

It won't be long before DC Comics formally introduce readers to Yara Flor in Future State. Of course, there's no guarantee there will be a direct synergy between the Arrowverse and the comic book versions; The Arrowverse has always been willing to take liberties. But with the new Wonder Woman (aka Wonder Girl) making her debut at the very same time The CW is working on the show, one would certainly expect these two versions of Yara Flor to be very similar.
