Here we meet one of the most popular villains when it comes to Wonder Woman, besides Cheetah, the misogynistic Dr. Psycho, a small enemy of all women.
We begin with Mars, the recurring villain, searching for a way to stop female equality on earth. He doesn't want women helping men at war, because it makes them stronger enemies. He asks Deception to hatch a scheme against them.
Deception soon finds the earthling named Doctor Psycho, a man of small stature and with a big head who was cheated on and hurt by his ex-lover, he was jailed and began to hate humanity, especially women.
Wonder Woman goes to Dr. Psycho's new magic show. The villain does a lot of tricks, one of them involves bringing George Washington back from the grave, only to order men to leave women out of any responsibility because of their supposed incompetence and weakness. He predicts a devastating accident will occur soon because of a woman.
Diana is obviously mad about this, so she decides to investigate. However, the predicted accident actually happens, Trevor suspects that the evil doctor is behind this and goes to interrogate him but he is captured. Eventually, Wonder Woman also falls into the hands of the sinister Dr. Psycho, who tries to separate the soul from Wonder Woman's body.

Deception was jailed by Mars because he failed to execute his plan. He sends him to the Women’s Prison but he will soon learn that it was a huge mistake.
Once in prison, Deception manipulates the women of mars to have a revolt, he helps them escape and creates a prison break with the females of mars.
The revolution is noticeable from earth and Diana is sent along with Paula to investigate, they ride a Sky Kanga ( a flying space kangaroo) in order to travel there.
Once they get to Mars, the girls are captured by the army of Martian women. They chain Wonder Woman (whose great weakness is to be tied up by a man) and make her prisoner. Soon, the women rebel once more and attack Mars and his forces.
Wonder Woman and the women fight against the Martian army. Diana engages in hand-to-hand combat with Mars, and demonstrates her female power by knocking him out in one swift blow. The girls go back to their planet as the Martian women are free.
In the last Chapter, Dr. Psycho wants to escape his captivity, he wants to confess but he is gonna need his medium for it, so he makes the police officers look for his secretary in order to talk to her, they agreed because they think he will confess that way but he really just wants her in order to channel his powers and use his supernatural abilities.
After that, Dr. Psycho is found dead while writing his confession.
Wonder Woman investigates the villain's death. But some crazy guy who calls himself "Good Night" warns Trevor about his upcoming murder. He doesn't listen and thinks of him as some random lunatic, pero the guy actually comes back in order to kill him, the crazy man becomes ectoplasm and goes away.
With this information, Wonder Woman goes to Psycho's grave in order to confirm his death. He attacks her while possessing another body and knocks her out.
Etta and Trevor find the medium and free her from her mental prison, nullifying Psycho's powers, who is then catched by Wonder Woman.
Likable issue, with lots of new lore, themes of sexism and a good new villain.
