Using Amazon magic, Wonder Woman is able to appear as Wonder Tot, Wonder Girl, and Wonder Woman at the same time. Presumedly, the earlier selves have been temporarily displaced in time.
Synopsis:
Princess Diana returns to Paradise Island for the Name Day competition where she must earn the right to retain the Wonder Woman name for another year. Every Amazon competes in the competition. Only Diana, Wonder Girl, and Wonder Tot finish the qualifying event. To determine the overall winner each must complete a task assigned by Athena and Aphrodite. Wonder Tot and Wonder Girl successfully finish their tasks. Wonder Woman is forced to abandon her task in order to protect Paradise Island from the threat of Boiling Man. She must also save the life of Steve Trevor. Wonder Woman believes she has lost the competition, but as a result of her actions, she is crowned the winner and continues as Wonder Woman for another year.
