Wonder Woman History

By Chris Chamberlain


Wonder Woman is a super-hero dating back to the 1940's when she made her first appearance in All Star Comics volume #8. Since then Wonder Woman has appeared almost completely with DC Comics. The persona is based on, and considered to be a princess of the Amazon women whom as a result of her travels comes to spend most of her time on Earth with the mankind. Her home is an island referred to as Themyscira(prior to now Paradise Island) termed after the Greek home of the legendary Amazon women.

The character is a heroine and possesses numerous super-human talents that appear to change in accordance with the writer or situation Wonder Woman finds herself in. Most notably she has super human strength, speed, intellectual as well as mental abilities. Furthermore she has shown the abilities to communicate with animals, perform telepathy, blow winds at amazing speeds, and sometimes even fly.

Wonder Woman possesses unbreakable bracelets(which in many story lines can't be removed), additionally, the Lasso of Truth, which if lassoed by, captives are magically made to be truthful. The Lasso can be considered unbreakable and can also be extended at an infinite length. Wonder Woman also has a tiara which contains super features, and she can throw the tiara with a boomerang-like effect.

Collectively with Batman and Superman, Wonder Woman comprises DC Comic's so called "Trinity" which is generally declaring they are the most powerful and legendary figures in the DC Comic Universe.

Apart from being heroic & superhuman, Wonder Woman is also extremely beautiful. The purpose behind these traits appeared to be her makers attempt to signify that women can posses all these attributes simultaneously, thus to help break free the women of that time from becoming chained in or pigeon-holed by males of their period.

Through the years, Wonder Woman has retained a significant degree of popularity considering the fact that she's a female in an otherwise man infested world, from both the realm of comic figures as well as the consumers who buy them. As a result she has been a bit of a trailblazer in the business which has since added figures such as Super Girl, Wonder Girl, Cat Woman, and Marvels long list of female characters such as Jean Grey/Phoenix, Storm, Rogue, Mystique, and so on.

In recent years there was a TV show pilot on NBC that had been cancelled however it may resurface on another network in the near future. There are also rumors that the motion picture idea has been tossed around which would appear to match the recent increase of super hero movies lately.
