Wonder Woman 1984 recap
In 1984, Diana Prince works at the Smithsonian, still mourning Steve Trevor. A citrine stone recovered from a robbery comes to the museum, and her shy colleague Barbara Minerva, who wishes she were like Diana, studies it. The stone grants wishes: Diana unknowingly wishes for Steve, who returns in another man's body, and Barbara gains Diana's strength and confidence. Failing oil businessman Maxwell Lord steals the stone and wishes to become it, granting wishes to others while taking something from each. Diana slowly loses her powers. Max's power spreads, Barbara becomes the predator Cheetah, and Diana learns the only way to undo the damage is to renounce wishes, including Steve.
