Wonder Woman is a fictional superheroine appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The character is one of the founding members of the Justice League also known as the "Big Seven".

She is also known most notably as being portrayed by Lynda Carter in the Live action TV series Wonder Woman and The New Adventures of Wonder Woman From 1975 to 1979

The character first appeared in All Star Comics #8 in October 1941 with her first feature in Sensation Comics #1 in January 1942.

The Wonder Woman title has been published by DC Comics almost continuously except for a brief hiatus in 1986. In her homeland, the island nation of Themyscira, her official royal and UN ambassadorial title is Princess Diana of Themyscira. When blending into the society outside of her homeland, she sometimes adopts her civilian identity of Diana Prince.

Literary Origin

Wonder Woman was created by the American psychologist and writer William Moulton Marston (pen name: Charles Moulton), and artist Harry G. Peter. Marston's wife, Elizabeth, and their life partner, Olive Byrne, are credited as being his inspiration for the character's appearance.

Marston's comics featured his ideas on DISC theory, and the character drew a great deal of inspiration from early feminists, and especially from birth control pioneer Margaret Sanger; in particular, her piece "Woman and the New Race".

Powers and training

Diana is depicted as a masterful athlete, acrobat, fighter and strategist, trained and experienced in many ancient and modern forms of armed and unarmed combat, including exclusive Amazonian martial arts.

With her godlike abilities of incalculable superhuman strength, nigh-invulnerability, speed, flight, healing factor and semi-immortality, Diana's fighting prowess is enhanced. In some versions, her mother Hippolita trained her, as Wonder Girl, for a future career as Wonder Woman.

From the beginning, she is portrayed as highly skilled in using her Amazon bracelets to stop bullets and in wielding her golden lasso. Batman once called her the "best melee fighter in the world". The modern version of the character is known to use lethal force when she deems it necessary.

In the New 52 continuity, her superior combat skills are the result of her Amazon training, as well as receiving further training from Ares, the God of War, himself, since as early as her childhood. The Golden Age Wonder Woman also had knowledge in psychology, as did her Amazon sisters.

Costume, armor, and technical paraphernalia

Diana is an incredible scientist and physician in addition to her athleticism. She has an arsenal of powerful god-forged gear at her disposal, but her signature equipment are her indestructible bracelets made of a mineral based substance known as Amazonium in the comic's and Femininum in the Lynda Carter series and the Lasso of Truth which in most variations of the lore was woven by the Goddess Hestia.

Wonder Woman's outfit has varied over time, although almost all of her outfit incarnations have retained some form of red chestplate, blue subligaculum, golden tiara, bracelets, and her signature five-pointed star symbols. When Wonder Woman was first introduced, she wore a heavily patriotic skirt and red top which incorporated an American eagle and elements of the United States flag, reflecting the comic's origins during World War II.

Later artists introduced what would become Wonder Woman's classic ensemble, adding an armored plate to her top whose design recalls a letter W and revealing blue short shorts, whose precise length varied from artist to artist. Other artists have experimented with different looks for Wonder Woman over the years, including an all-white mod jumpsuit, a biker outfit, a variation of her mainstream depiction featuring leather pants and a jacket, and a number of armoured battlesuits. Contemporary artists have attempted to emphasise Wonder Woman's traditional outfit as a red armored top with a blue gladiator skirt.

Wonder Woman's outfit design was originally rooted in American symbolism and iconography, which included her signature star symbols, a golden eagle on her chest, crimson red bustier, white belt, and a dark blue star spangled skirt/culotte.

She also had a pair of red glowing magnetic earrings for a short time which allowed her to receive messages from Queen Desira of the planet Venus.

Breasts

Wonder Woman has usually been depicted in the comics as having rather large breasts, as an aspect of her ideal femininity. So much so that Wonder Woman television actress Lynda Carter defended the display of her cleavage in costume as simply showing that breasts are a fact of life, and large-breasted women can still fight and defend themselves, while Wonder Woman film actress Gal Gadot defended playing the role despite having smaller breasts than the comic version.[1]
