1 min read

Wonder Woman (Diana Prince) is a DC Comics superhero created by William Moulton Marston and H.G. Peter, first appearing in All Star Comics #8 (1941). She is an Amazon warrior princess from Themyscira (Paradise Island), the daughter of Queen Hippolyta and (in modern continuity) Zeus. She possesses superhuman strength, speed, flight, and combat skills, and wields the Lasso of Truth, indestructible bracelets, and a tiara that serves as a projectile. She is one of DC's Trinity (alongside Batman and Superman) and one of the most important female superheroes in history. She was portrayed by Gal Gadot in the DCEU films.

What Are Wonder Woman's Powers?

Wonder Woman possesses: superhuman strength (comparable to Superman), superhuman speed, flight, enhanced durability, combat mastery (trained by Amazons since birth), the Lasso of Truth (forces anyone it binds to speak truthfully), indestructible Bracelets of Submission (can deflect bullets and energy blasts), and a tiara that can be thrown as a cutting weapon. She is one of the most powerful heroes in the DC universe.

Who Created Wonder Woman?

William Moulton Marston, a psychologist who also invented the systolic blood pressure test (a component of the lie detector), created Wonder Woman in 1941. He was inspired by his wife Elizabeth Holloway Marston and their partner Olive Byrne. Marston designed Wonder Woman as a symbol of female empowerment and a deliberate counter to the violent masculinity of other superheroes. The Lasso of Truth reflects his lie detection background.

What Is Themyscira?

Themyscira (originally called Paradise Island) is the home of the Amazons — a race of immortal warrior women in DC Comics. It is hidden from the outside world and exists as a utopian society free from male violence. Diana leaves Themyscira to fight in World War I (in the 2017 film) or World War II (in original comics).
