"DC has released a preview of Nubia: Real One, an upcoming OGN from writer L.L. McKinney and artists Robyn Smith, Brie Henderson, and Bex Glendining that brings Silver Age Wonder Woman spin-off character Nubia into the modern era.

Originally, Nubia was introduced as Diana's replacement as Wonder Woman - her twin sister, separated at birth, who, because of the nature of the Amazons, looks exactly like Diana but is a black woman.

In the updated version, Nubia is a young woman trying to help people in her own community despite being told she doesn't fit the mold of a hero - culminating in a visit from her own hero, Wonder Woman, glimpsed in the preview.

Nubia: Real One is due out February 2, 2021"

In case it wasn't clear this is part of the YA graphic novel line so not in the DCU.

So she's Nubia in name only? Wonderverse could really use some consistency with its characters instead of giving them hundreds different origin stories.

Then again, this version is out of continuity so it's somewhat justified.

Yeah, but Nubia is not a well-defined character to begin with. Why give such a character an AU story before properly establishing who she actually is in the main continuity?
