Captain Wonder is a villain who was created by combining Doctor Psycho and Steve Trevor. He battled the Pre-Crisis Wonder Woman and was a love interest to the original Silver Swan

[edit] Character History
Doctor Psycho discovered he could use draw ectoplasm, the substance found in the spirit world, and materialize it on Earth in whatever form he willed.
He eventually discovered he could use Steve Trevor as a medium. After capturing Trevor, he used a machine to draw ectoplasm from Tervor's mind in the form of Trevor's idealized, super-powered fantasy image of himself. Doctor Psycho inhabited the ectoplasmic form and battled Wonder Woman using the name Captain Wonder.
As Captain Wonder, Psycho fell in love with the Silver Swan (Helen Alexandros), an ugly young woman, whom the vindictive god Mars had transformed into a super-powered beauty. Both Captain Wonder and Silver Swan were defeated by Wonder Woman and eventually reverted back to their original forms.
Captain Wonder returns for one more battle against Wonder Woman, and teams with Silver Swan, Cheetah and Angle Man against Etta Candy (whom they wrongly believe is Wonder Woman).
Captain Wonder has not appeared after the events in Crisis on Infinite Earths.
[edit] Powers and Abilities
Created from the fantasies of Steve Trevor, Captain Wonder has all the same powers as Wonder Woman, only more intense (i.e., stronger, faster, etc.).
