Von Gunther then stands trial for her crimes. Wonder Woman acts as her attorney and using an insanity plea, she is acquitted. Then Wonder Woman takes Paula to Paradise Island and Aphrodite restores Paula’s appearance. She vows to align herself only with good from now on, and Wonder Woman is given responsibility for her.
