Well, in the recent Justice League Dark story arc, the Witching Hour, the iconic heroine was possessed by the mother of all magic, Hecate, granting Diana immense, universe-warping power, with the only caveat being that she couldn't quite control her actions.

The character's rampage stretched from Nanda Parbat, before she went on to desecrate the pantheon of the Greek gods in an attempt to rewrite the rules of magic to suit her own agenda.

Thankfully though, Diana has some pretty loyal friends, and with their help she managed to escape Hecate's clutches, but not before some pretty mad events had occurred.
