On Earth-Two WWII is raging on, causing Mars, the god of war, to gain immense power, with which he takes over all other gods. In order to ensure that the conflict rages on he creates the Disc of Mars, that he bestows upon a random man on Earth, and which will grant invincibility and aggression, but Aphrodite swears that Love will triumph over war. Mars defeats Aphrodite and besieges Paradise Island, the Amazon’s last hope is Wonder Woman who at this point battles the nazis and the Red Panzer, who are about to gain the upper hand in the war. An unlikely ally, The Bombardier joins Wonder Woman, who fights all his enemies, seemingly unstoppable. Wonder Woman figures out that Bombardier is a US politician who was really antagonistic against her, and also that he is the one who wears the Disc of Mars.
