Mike Schorr is an officer with the Gateway City Police Department and a friend to Wonder Woman.
[edit] Character History
Detective Mike Schorr, a young but highly decorated lawman and head of the Gateway City Police Department's Special Weapons Division, is one of the most trusted allies to Wonder Woman (Princess Diana of the Amazons).
When Darkseid invaded Wonder Woman's mystical island homeland, Themyscira, Detective Schorr fought bravely beside her, earning her love and the respect of her sister Amazons. The battle forged a deep bond between them, leaving Mike and Diana wondering about a future together, but, their budding romance was tragically shortlived.
Obsessed with the conquest of all Amazons and the enslavement of Wonder Woman, Herakles, disguised as Gateway City strongman, Harold Campion, used a mind-control drug to compell her to fall in love with him. Though Herakles's plot failed, and he was exiled to Mount Olympus, the drug erased Wonder Woman's romantic interest in Detective Schorr, and the pair continued as good friends.
When the Amazon was slain by the demon Neron, Mike found new allies in her mother, Queen Hippolyta, and sister, Artemis, who seemed mildly attracted to him. Through their combined efforts, Wonder Woman was eventually resurrected, but, his feelings for her never resurfaced.
Whatever finally happened between Mike and Artemis has never been told.
Inspite of everything, Mike and Diana's friendship has never diminished. Though Wonder Woman eventually left Gateway for good, he continues to help her during some of the worst times in her life and is a frequent ally of her protege, Wonder Girl.
