DC Comics just killed off a recent member of the Justice League, as the new Trials of the Amazons event ends with the shocking death of Hippolyta. In Trials of the Amazons #1, after new tensions arise between the Bana-Mighdall and Themiscyran Amazonians, Queen Nubia discovers Hippolyta has been poisoned and killed ahead of the upcoming great trials that will determine the Amazon's true ruler.

She was a core team member alongside fellow new members Black Adam and Naomi during Brian Michael Bendis' soon-ending run on the superteam. In her place, Queen Nubia took over as the Queen of Themisyra, while Wonder Woman would later return from death.
