During the events of the "Return of Donna Troy" miniseries, it was revealed that Donna Troy's arch-enemy (and temporal doppelganger) the Dark Angel served a similar role to the Harbinger during the original Crisis before severing ties with the Anti-Monitor. Furthermore, the Titans of Myth revealed that Donna was a temporal anomaly, thanks to the Crisis changing her and Wonder Woman's histories. The Titans, seeing potential in exploiting Donna's unconscious knowledge of the Pre-"Crisis" universe, rescued her as a child in order to manipulate her into becoming their own version of the Harbinger.
