I don't know if this is true but I've heard Troia in Italian means something less then super. So how about a new codename?

Troy sounds to man-ish.

Cassie's Wonder Girl.

Her proposed name of Avatar never materialized.

Last I heard the Darkstars were defunct.

Myth?

Amazon Angel?

Soul Sister?

Princess Retcon?

My Petite Greek Wonder?

Dynamic Donna?

I would have said "keep Troia," had someone not pointed out to me what it actually translates to. And, yes, it does mean that. None of the alternatives you suggest sound good tho.

Posted by TheGreenActingBug on :
 
Well "Myth" was the only serious one. Amazon Angel & Soul Sister were semi-serious. I was just joking about the others.

ETA: Most of the time I don't care for gender-specific codenames. They often seem kind of unimaginative to me.

I think Donna should become the new Fury.
 

---

Posted by TheGreenActingBug on :
 
I don't think Donna is "savage" enough to be a Fury.
 

---

Posted by Crulith on :
 
Well, with all of her rebirths and past lives, how about "Shirley MacLaine"?

I'd be willing to let them use Paragon if they wanted

Hmm. This would suggest a whole new set of powers. And of course, costume redesigns!!!

I like Troia, it's got the Greek feel in it, it's feminine, and it gives her a seperation from Wonder Woman, and I hate it when characters names get changed many times (that's my opinion, don't hurt me)

I don't speak Italian so Troia still sounds heroic and beautiful to me. But if you just have to have a new name - Pagan?

Oh. Well, in that case, it's back to my original "Shirley MacLaine" suggestion

Well if you can trust Blair Marnell's sources at All The Rage, George Perez will be bringing her back soon so we'll have an answer to this question.

Tales of Wonder

Earlier this week, an item that appeared on George Perez’ fan site sparked some speculation regarding his next DC project:

---

Here's a little tease about George's next project - Phil Jimenez writes, Jose Garcia-Lopez pencils and Perez inks... something. George wouldn't go into any more detail, and I think he wants DC to make the official announcement, but I thought you might want the heads up.

---

The project in question is likely the Troia miniseries Jimenez has been asking for since he signed his DC exclusive contract. Donna Troy is reportedly one of his favorite characters, and he’s been looking to “right a wrong” since she was killed off a while back.

As for Perez, his participation in this project shouldn’t preclude his work on The New Teen Titans: Games, which was announced last year. Games will reunite Perez with his original Titans collaborator, Marv Wolfman.

Issue #224, "The Supremacy Factor". Paragon has the ability to acquire abilities from anything living thing within a certain range, similar to Amazo.

A synopsis of the issue can be found here.

Ah yes... way back when I still enjoyed JLA

HMMMM

I didn't care for "Avatar", I don't like Troia either.

I do like "Myth"
 

---

Posted by Phantasm on :
 
Oh, we could just call her the Matriarch!
 

---

Posted by Miss Troia on :
 
Myth is very pretty and feminine, actually.
 

---

Posted by TheGreenActingBug on :
 
Thanks. Myth is pretty much the only codename that really "fits" Donna considering her history. In my opinion, of course.

I *hate* the code-name Troia! Its just so... nothing! I'm beginning to realise that it was the change to this code-name (as well as all the horrible costumes that she adopted afterward) that probably made Donna drop like a stone out of my Top 10 Titans list.

Myth is pretty good. Avatar is better (and there should be no problem with taking this name now that that horrible L.A.W. mini-series has been thankfully forgotten by the 3 people who read it). But someone on the DC Boards is currently championing the name Victory and I really like that one. That's a helluva lot more inspiring name than Troia.

Donna Troy - Victory!

Posted by CM3 Vee on :
 
You know...Victory is probably the best of those I've heard. It really fits her warrior persona.
 

---

Posted by TheGreenActingBug on :
 
Victory sounds like a fine choice too.
 

---

Posted by Phantasm on :
 
I do like Victory! If there is anything that embodies Donna, it's victory over ANY obstacle.

I still like Myth, though...
 

---

Posted by Omni Beast on :
 
I'm fine with "Troia".

But I resist change whenever possible.
 

---

Posted by HighPriestessViviane on :
 
The problem with 'Myth' for me is it doesn't sound heroic enough, but your right in saying that it's a great name that suits her.

Victory is good, too, but it sounds a little masculine.
 

---

Posted by Faraway Lad on :
 
Well what about Victrix. Which I think (Cobie help me out here) was the term used by Roman Legions after the Goddess of Victory.
 

---

Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
 
"Victoria" would be the most obvious feminization of "Victory".

What about "Titania"?
 

---

Posted by TheGreenActingBug on :
 
Nah, Marvel has had two of those. One's a dead member of the Grapplers, the other is the wife of the Absorbing Man who often has a mad-on for She-Hulk.

But not *that* type of mad-on, before anyone starts
