History
Origin and Early Career
Childhood
Unbeknownst to Steve, his mother, Diana Rockwell, somehow ended up on the isle of Themiscyra, where she died in defense of Doom's Doorway and was posthumously honored as an Amazon alongside others who had died in defense of Doom's Doorway, like Egeria and Consivia.[7]
As an adult, he became a soldier, excelling at making close bonds with his comrades. He was eventually assigned a mission targeting the SEAR Group, a terrorist organization with an unknown connection to the Greek war god Ares.
Discovering Themyscira
Steve was on a mission with the U.S. Navy when his plane crash-landed on the island of Themyscira. Steve was the only survivor, and was discovered by Diana of Themyscira, badly wounded.[4] The Amazons nursed Steve back to health, while Diana in particular took a special interest in him. The Amazons held a contest to determine which among them would escort Steve back to Man's World and champion the Amazons' message of peace, and Diana eagerly won, despite being told that she could never return to the island after she left.[5]
Steve and Diana arrived on U.S. soil and Diana was quickly arrested, despite Steve's best efforts to defend her from his fellow government agents. Diana was bestowed with incredible gifts by her patron Gods of Olympus shortly thereafter, and Steve helped Diana get used to the ways of Man's World, alongside Etta Candy and Barbara Minerva.[8] Steve and Diana became romantically entangled, though their relationship would wax and wane over time.
Team 7
Sergeant Trevor was briefly recruited into the counter-metahuman task force called Team 7 as his experience with Diana gave invaluable experience to the team. His first and last mission as part of the team was the infiltration and sabotage of the rogue nation dictator, Kaizen Gamorra. Steve served as the team's pilot.[9]
During this mission, Majestic created a tidal wave that swept away all of Gamorra Island.[10] John Lynch ordered Steve, Slade Wilson and Cole Cash to find a means of escape while the rest of the team held back the power mad dictator Kaizen Gamorra, who was empowered by Pandora's Box.
Steve was able to make a brief pass around to pick up what was left of the team. Making his final report after returning to base, Steve's official report stated that Team 7 had been dissolved after he'd rescued Cash, Slade and Dinah Drake. The rest of the field operatives were either presumed to be dead or missing.
Altered Memories
Later, Wonder Woman was targeted by Phobos and Deimos, who altered Diana and Steve's minds. This caused them to drift apart, though they still retained feelings for one another.[11]
New 52
This section of the history takes place during the New 52, between the events of Flashpoint and DC Rebirth. It was later revealed that much of Wonder Woman's history from this time was an elaborate illusion created by the Gods of Olympus to keep her away from Paradise Island. All or part of this section may have been part of that illusion and no longer valid in Rebirth.
Steve was later given the role of liaison from the world to the Justice League. He was a target of the media for his rumored relationship with Wonder Woman, and usually mocked for the apparent failure of it.
Steve was later captured by the villain David Graves and tortured for access codes to the Justice League's command base. Wonder Woman was visibly shaken by the sight and furiously attacked Graves, without her team's support.
Forever Evil
During Forever Evil, Steve Trevor returned to the ruins of ofWashington, D.C.'sA.R.G.U.S.headquarters, where he meet Etta Candy and she told him that the destruction was caused by a massive spike inDoctor Light's body.[12]

DC Rebirth
After Wonder Woman's discovery that aspects of her past had been altered, she came across Steve and some of his fellow soldiers who had been captured by Colonel Andres Cadulo. Cadulo intended to sacrifice them to the plant god Urzkartaga and become the human embodiment of the god, using Steve's body as a vessel for his transformation.[13] Diana stopped him with Steve's help, and the two soon rekindled their romance and began dating officially.[14] Steve accompanied Diana on her journey to discover the truth about her past, helping her avoid the clutches of Veronica Cale's Godwatch team in the process. Afterwards, Steve and Diana moved in together.[11]
Infinite Frontier
Steve eventually began living in an apartment in Washington, D.C. with the Asgardian hero Siegfried, and joined the Checkmate organization, working with Siggy, Etta and Diana.[15][16]
