Known in her homeland as Diana of Themyscira, Wonder Woman is a warrior Princess of the Amazons. The character’s mission was to bring the Amazon ideals of love, peace, and sexual equality to a world torn by the hatred of men. Wonder Woman’s super powers includes superhuman strength, flight, super-speed, super-stamina, and super-agility.

Among others, Diana is highly proficient in hand-to-hand combat and in the art of tactical warfare, possesses animal-like cunning skills and a natural rapport with animals, and uses her Lasso of Truth, which forces those bound by it to tell the truth, a pair of indestructible bracelets, a tiara which serves as a projectile, and, in some stories, an invisible airplane. Wonder Woman is also associated as a member of the Super Friends and Justice League. To inspire you more, here are 31 Wonder Woman Artworks.

Happy Go Marni: I Want a Wonder Woman KitchenAid Stand Mixer and I'm Ready to Fly to Brazil to Get It | Baking, Recipes, Happiness. Looks like KitchenAid's Brazilian division is offering a Wonder Woman edition of the KitchenAid stand mixer. And a peace and flower edition! And a bugs edition! And a skull and cross bones edition! Gahhhhh! This news came to me while I was staring depressingly at my plain white uber-boring white mixer.

Do I have to fly to Brazil to get one or do they ship internationally? Mc-random-8. DC Comics reveals Wonder Woman’s father is Zeus. By Zeus! Wonder Woman is a daddy’s girl. The iconic character is getting something she’s never had in her almost 70-year-old history — a father. “She’s going to learn she’s not who she was told she was,” “Wonder Woman” writer Brian Azzarello told The Post. A storyline in the amazing Amazon’s newly relaunched comic will reveal she’s actually the daughter of Zeus, the thunderbolt throwing father of the Olympian gods. That’s a seismic change in the character’s mythology, which is one that stood out as unusual even in a universe where characters get heat vision and the power of flight after being rocketed to Earth from a distant planet.

In the original comics, Wonder Woman’s mother, Amazon queen Hippolyta, fashioned her baby Diana out of clay, and the clay was given life and superpowers by Greek goddesses. When they relaunched their entire line of comics last month, DC Comics figured it was a good time to break the mold. “Everybody’s got a father,” Azzarello said. “She’s an epic character. Wonder Woman's Dirty Secrets" S Super Friends Page - Wonder Woman. Origin: Her mother, Hippolyta, made her out of clay, and begged the goddess Aphrodite to make her a real girl.

If you've read or seen Pinnochio, it's the same puppet shit. I don't have any trouble believing a clay girl can come to life; I've seen Mannequin 218 times, and I still get presumptuous enough afterwards to make out with my Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots. What I have trouble believing is Wonder Woman's mom. I don't buy that any girl whose name starts with "Hippo" could make it through childhood without ending up in prison. Wonder Woman's unofficial job on the team was giving Aquaman a ride to any place that wasn't along the water. If you want to see how often that might have been, try to travel by boat to every place you go in the next week. That's probably why Wonder Woman could never finish getting dressed-- she was busy playing taxi for the damn fish idiot. One thing about Wonder Woman, is that whoever did her voice couldn't disguise it. Continue to Wonder Woman Part 2 ->

Joss Whedon Discusses His Defunct ‘Wonder Woman’ Movie. ExperienceTheWonder.com - The Definitive Guide to Wonder Woman Collectibles. My Four-Year-Old's Love For Superheroes. By Lindsay Cross | 12:29 pm, May 1st, 2012 It all started with She-Ra. I was strolling through Target and I saw The Princess of Power on DVD. I thought my daughter might get a kick out of the ’80s cartoon I grew up on. So I grabbed the story of He-Man’s twin sister and introduced my daughter to a whole world of girls who save the day and fight the forces of evil. So began my four-year-old daughter Brenna‘s love affair with superheroes and my education about a whole world of storylines and characters that I would soon become intimately familiar with.

We moved on to Justice League cartoons and movies, some of which seemed a little too adult for my pre-schooler. My husband and I supported her newfound interest in saving the day and defending the world. When Brenna started school this year, she began to realize that most girls in her class weren’t particularly concerned with superheroes or bad guys. She reacted by looking even harder for girl superheroes to cling to. Father Sews Wonder Woman Costume for Daughter. The Legacy of Wonder Woman. An enlightening look at the feminist ideals that informed this American icon By Philip Charles Crawford This year marks the 65th anniversary of one of comics’ oldest and most enduring characters, Wonder Woman. For over half a century, she has entertained and inspired millions, appearing in comic books, newspapers, novels, television, and cartoons. Her image is known throughout the world, licensed on everything from Halloween costumes, Kraft brand macaroni & cheese, and Underoos, to cookie jars, toothbrushes, and the American Library Association (ALA) poster, “The World’s Greatest Heroes @ your library.”

Along with Batman and Superman, she shares the distinction of having been continually published in comic book form for more than six decades. Like Snoopy, James Bond, Superman, and Tarzan, she has entered the collective consciousness of 20th-century pop culture. When superheroes first began to appear in comic books of the late 1930s, the genre was ostensibly an “all-boys club.”

WONDER WOMEN! WONDER WOMEN! FAQ: CAN YOU EXCEED THE GOAL? JSA Members: Wonder Woman. History Wonder Woman is the daughter of Hippolyte, immortal queen of the Amazons of Paradise Island. At some point in history, Hippolyte longed for a child and was instructed by the goddess Aphrodite to mold the form of a child out of the clay of Paradise Island. When she did, Aphrodite bestowed life upon the child, whom Hippolyte named Diana, after the Roman name for Artemis, goddess of the hunt. Diana was an exceptional child, displaying incredible strength and agility even as a young girl. In 1941, Lt. Meanwhile, in Olympus, Ares, the god of war (also known as Mars) taunted Aphrodite with the fact that most of Earth's nations were at war with one another. The contest was grueling, resulting in the elimination of all other contestants save the mystery girl (Diana) and her friend Mala. As Wonder Woman, Diana took Trevor to a hospital in Washington D.C. Wonder Woman's success in the United States infuriated Ares, who dispatched one of his most trusted lieutenants to defeat her.

The History of the Universe as Told by Wonder Woman by Kristy Guevara-Flanagan & Kelcey Edwards. Beyond 10K Kickstart this!! Thanks so, so much to our Kickstarter supporters -- nearly 400 strong and counting -- who've helped us to already reach our $10,000 target goal in a little more than a week!

We've very nearly averaged $1,000 a day in this campaign thanks to your generosity! Over here at Wonder Woman Central, we wish we could tell you that with this support in hand, it's nothing but blue skies and smooth sailing ahead, but the fact is, of course, and as those of you in the film business already know, that it takes quite a lot to get a film off the drawing boards and onto the big screen.

This $10,000 figure represents, really, a starting point, albeit a starting point that comes with the film already well on its way to completion. The more money we raise here the sooner we can complete the film. The more money we raise from the public, the more money we can raise from larger funders and investors. Congratulations to us all for the collective effort we've made so far. YES! Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Wonder Woman.

Wonder Woman Message Board. The Weird History of Wonder Woman in TV, Movies and Beyond. I don't think I am following what you mean. Are you familiar with the actual comics? And what do mean exactly by ""modern woman" bullsh*t? Whaaaat? I don't understand. I'm pretty sure feminists (let's define them again, in case of confusion- men and women who simply want genders to be treated/respected equally) would of course want Wonder Woman to look just as sexy and badass as any male superhero looks... I don't think that's the real issue here. Pretty sure the problem lies with the fact that the majority of hollywood (Which is men btw) thinks like you do, coming up with lazy excuses such as her character "can't translate to the big screen" (as if her story is far much more ridiculous or surreal than any other super hero?)...

Don't reply to the idiots and trolls. I was a kid during the Lynda Carter version, and my dad certainly didn't mind WW saving Steve all the time. How Bad Was NBC's Wonder Woman Pilot? That Bad. BRIAN AZZARELLO Thrusts WONDER WOMAN Toward Even More Change | Wonder Woman. As Brian Azzarello attended Chicago's C2E2 convention last week, there was a lot of buzz surrounding his current projects. Not only is he writing two of the series for DC's big summer event, Before Watchmen: Rorschach and Before Watchmen: Comedian, but he's made some surprising changes to the mythos of one of DC's iconic character in Wonder Woman. Working with artists Cliff Chiang and Tony Akins on the series, Azzarello altered Wonder Woman's origin by giving her two parents, making her father the god Zeus (see our interview with the writer on that subject here).

Last month, he explained the absence of men on the Amazon's island as being caused by choice, as the women of Paradise Island discarded their male babies, keeping girls only. This week's Wonder Woman #8 had yet another shocking conclusion, but this interview was conducted before that issue came out, so it's spoiler free. Newsarama: Brian, this last issue, you revealed some information about the Amazons that we didn't know. A Wonder Woman costume we can all agree on | Crave. Who knew pants could be so controversial? The issue of whether or not Wonder Woman should wear pants has heated up the comic book community in the past.

Photographer Adam Jay of SuperHero Photography is having it both ways. Jay's recent photo shoot features a reimagined Wonder Woman costume that has managed not to offend anybody's comic book geek sensibilities. The costumes were built by Hermes Terceiro and modeled by Sarah Scott (warning: scantily clad pole-dancing photo ahead). The updated take on the look includes Wonder Woman's classic red, blue, and gold ensemble, but punches it up with a tough, modern feel to the wardrobe. The chest eagle is fiercer than ever and the Romanesque leather skirt is a departure from the starry granny panties the incomparable Lynda Carter popularized on television. The photo shoot also includes a more urban version of the costume that looks like it would be at home on a motorcycle, complete with a black leather jacket and black pants.
