Wonder Woman (Volume 6) #16 is an issue of the series Wonder Woman (Volume 6) with a cover date of February, 2025. It was published on December 18, 2024.

Synopsis for "Fury, Part 2"

After killing Steve Trevor, the Sovereign believed that Wonder Woman would be consumed by rage and attempt to attack him directly in his home, but she did not come. Instead, the Sovereign is visited by one of Wonder Woman's allies, Detective Chimp, who is investigating Steve's death and believes the Sovereign to be connected to it in some way. He has even discovered the Sovereign's real name: Henry Charles. The Sovereign attempts to deflect suspicion from himself and explains that his only connection to Steve was vague and circumstantial.

Detective Chimp leaves the Sovereign's home and the old man hopes that he never has to see the ape again. He is mistake, as Detective Chimp would repeatedly visit him to inform him about the progress he had made in his investigation. The constant visits and interruptions to his personal life cause the Sovereign to grow increasingly annoyed at Detective Chimp. Still, he is worried that Detective Chimp would get close to the truth, so the Sovereign planned to cover his tracks.

One of the Sovereign's lies to Detective Chimp had been that Steve had sold him one of his old uniforms, so the Sovereign tasks Circe with visiting Steve's office in the Pentagon to steal a uniform, only for the witch to be intercepted by Detective Chimp, who was already expecting her. Circe prepares for a fight and expects an easy victory, but Detective Chimp did not come alone. The Spectre is at his side and captures Circe so that Detective Chimp can interrogate her. The interrogation lasts days and weeks, and the Spectre had to torture Circe with all the pain and suffering she has caused her throughout her long life, but ultimately, Detective Chimp gets what he needs.

Detective Chimp visits the Sovereign again and confronts him about everything he and his family had done as secret rulers of America. Angry, the Sovereign slams those accusations as baseless, but Detective Chimp is unfazed and leaves. Suddenly, the Sovereign gets another visitor: Clark Kent from the Daily Planet. He had been following Detective Chimp's leads and now, he wants to know the Sovereign's side of the story.

This proves to be a harsh experience for the Sovereign. With his fortune stolen and the secrets of his family exposed, it seems that Wonder Woman has inflicted a serious wound on the Sovereign's pride. In frustration, the elderly ruler shoots his own butler. However, Wonder Woman hasn't done anything to attack the Sovereign. Instead, she has returned to Themyscira and travelled to the temple of her mother, so that Hippolyta can know her granddaughter, Lizzie.

Synopsis for "The Secret History of the Sovereign"

Jimmy has posted a video in which he talks about the Sovereign. Apparently, the Sovereign's family manipulated the Founding Fathers into handing control of America to them using the Lasso of Lies, a mystical relic they had obtined from native tribes. For three hundred years, the royal family had controlled America from the shadows to increase their own power and riches, but that recently came to an end. The Sovereign's finances have taken a serious blow and his territories have been seized and resold by the banks.

Jimmy's story is confirmed by the confession of Circe, who had been captured by the Justice League and had personally witnessed the Sovereign's actions. To corroborate his actions, Jimmy explains that his friend Clark found Claire, the older sister of the Sovereign, and got information about the Sovereign's personal history. Claire had revealed that her father wanted to make Claire into his heir, because he was disappointed in her brother Henry, but Henry was displeased by such decision and murdered his father. Henry took control of the kingdom while Claire was forced to escape from their home.

With his message, Jimmy hopes he can expose the cruelty and lies of the so-called "Sovereign", a man whose hatred of America is only matched by his hatred of the women who helpd build this country.
