In Sensation Comics #66 (April 1947), Steve Trevor is shot and killed accidentally by a kid playing with his father’s gun. In a fit of grief, Wonder Woman rushes Steve to Paula von Gunther, who uses the purple ray to heal Steve. Phew, I really thought Wonder Woman’s love interest and most important supporting cast member was going to permanently die there, for a minute!
