Wonder Woman is a fictional DC Comics superheroine created by William Moulton Marston. Two strong women, his wife Elizabeth Holloway Marston and Olive Byrne, a mutual lover[1], served as exemplars for the character and greatly influenced her creation.[2] Wonder Woman first appeared in All Star Comics #8 (Dec. 1941). She is among the first — and most famous — comic book superheroines, and is a founding member of the Justice League.
In addition to comic books, the character was featured in the popular 1975 t
o 1979 television adaptation starring Lynda Carter, as well as the Super Friends and Justice League animated series. A 2009 motion picture adaptation has been announced.
Princess Diana is an
Amazon from
Greek mythology. Her name, "Diana" is reflective of the mythological character, "
Diana" or
Artemis. Her mother is
Queen Hippolyta, or
Hippolyta, the queen of the Amazons. When Diana leaves the Amazons to travel to the world outside, she is known as both "Wonder Woman," and as "Diana Prince." As Wonder Woman, she was awarded several gifts by the
Olympian gods, including the
Lasso of Truth (created from the Golden Girdle of
Gaea) and
indestructible bracelets/gauntlets (formed from the shield
Aegis). For several years she was described in the
splash page of each story, as "beautiful as
Aphrodite, wise as
Athena, swifter than
Mercury, and stronger than
Hercules."
