Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman, created by psychologist William Moulton Marston and artist Harry G. Peter, first appeared in All Star Comics #8 in 1941. As one of the most iconic superheroes in comic book history, Wonder Woman, also known as Princess Diana of Themyscira, is a symbol of strength, justice, and female empowerment. Raised on the all-female island of Themyscira and trained as an Amazon warrior, Diana leaves her homeland to serve as a champion of peace and justice in the outside world, often referred to as "Man's World."

​

Wonder Woman possesses superhuman strength, agility, and combat skills, and is equipped with a variety of magical weapons, including her unbreakable bracelets, a tiara that doubles as a projectile, and the Lasso of Truth, which compels those ensnared by it to speak the truth. Her mission is not only to fight evil but to spread the values of love, compassion, and equality, which she believes are essential for true peace.

​

Wonder Woman's character was groundbreaking at the time of her creation, as she was one of the first female superheroes to be depicted as strong, independent, and capable, without relying on a male counterpart. Over the decades, she has become a feminist icon and a role model for readers of all ages.

​

Wonder Woman's popularity has transcended comics, with numerous adaptations in television, film, and other media. The 1970s television series starring Lynda Carter helped solidify her status as a cultural icon, and Gal Gadot's portrayal of Wonder Woman in the DC Extended Universe, beginning with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) and continuing with her solo film Wonder Woman (2017), has brought the character to a new generation of fans.
