Steven Rockwell Trevor is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Created by William Moulton Marston, he is a trusted friend and partner who introduces Diana to "Man's World", and has served as Wonder Woman's United Nations liaison.
Steve Trevor holds the distinction of being the first foreigner to have ever set foot on Themyscira, the first man Diana has ever seen, and the first ambassador to open diplomatic relations with the Amazonian people. He is often a primary love interest; their relationship was often flirtatious, yet they always remained steadfast friends. On occasion, Marston would place Trevor in "gentleman-in-jeopardy" situations. His marriage proposals were often rejected, as she prioritized saving the world first before marriage, as symbolized by Aphrodite's Law.
Chris Pine has been cast as the character in the DC Extended Universe, first with a cameo in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016); he will also appear in Wonder Woman (2017).
Steve Trevor first appeared in All Star Comics #8 (December 1941).
As originally introduced, Steve Trevor was a U.S. military intelligence officer in the US Army Air Corps who became stranded on Wonder Woman's homeland and developed a close relationship with the heroine. Though a military man with experience in the field, storylines involving post-Marston Steve and Wonder Woman typically involved inversions of the damsel in distress trope, with Wonder Woman coming to Steve's rescue. Steve's visibility in comics varied through the 1970s to the 1990s, with his character either absent or sidelined in favour of fantasy and action-adventure Wonder Woman stories without romantic interests. In more recent portrayals, and particularly since DC's 2011 reboot, Steve is portrayed as a senior government agent and super spy whose close connection to Wonder Woman makes him the United States' liaison to the Justice League. In 2013, in his capacity as a skilled government agent, Steve himself became the member of a new incarnation of the Justice League of America.
