Wonder no more--get all the facts on DC Comics' foremost super heroine! She's as beautiful as Aphrodite and as wise as Athena, stronger than Hercules and swifter than Hermes. Blessed at birth by the gods themselves, Princess Diana left an idyllic island paradise ruled by wise and brave women to bring the peace, love, and the nobility of the Amazons to the tumultuous world of humankind. In January 1942, Wonder Woman took the world of comics--and its pantheon of superpowered males--by storm. Wielding her impervious silver bracelets and golden Lasso of Truth, she's battled forces of evil from the Axis powers to a slew of super-villains worldwide, teamed up with the likes of Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, and the Flash, and become a high-flying feminist icon and pop-culture superstar.
