Who is Asteria?
As far as we know, Asteria has only appeared once in the mainstream DC Comics continuity, as a background character in the 1998 Elseworlds: Supergirl & Batgirl. Early in the story, several Justice Society members head to Gotham City for an awards gala, but a few are left on the back bench to keep an eye on things at Justice Society HQ. One of those is Asteria, who gets maybe one line of dialogue — speaking to the alternate universe Tim Drake — and who never shows up again.
Asteria does have a bit more of a presence in Greek mythology, as a Greek goddess who escapes Zeus’s advances by fleeing to Mount Olympus and ends up transforming herself into the island of Delos. Later on, she ended giving birth to Hecate, goddess of magic and witchcraft. Wonder Woman 1984 is streaming on HBO Max now.

Spoilers for Wonder Woman 1984 follow.
But, the end credits scene reveals, Asteria had not died as Diana assumed.
In the mid-credits scene, we see a dark-haired woman walking through an outdoor market when a large wooden pole starts to crash down. The woman casually catches the heavy pole with one hand, to the relief of a family with a small child who were directly in the pole’s path. The mother thanks the woman, who turns around and reveals herself to be Lynda Carter, the star of the iconic Wonder Woman 1970s TV show, who introduces herself as Asteria with a little wink at the camera.
