Wonder Woman's History
Wonder Woman is a super-hero going back to the 1940's when she made her first appearance in All Star Comics volume #8. Ever since then Wonder Woman has appeared almost completely in DC Comics. The personality is founded on, and supposedly a princess of the Amazon women who actually through her journeys comes to spend most of her time on Earth with the humankind. Her home is an island known as Themyscira(prior to now Paradise Island) named after the Greek home of the legendary Amazon women.
The character is a heroine and has many super-human abilities that seem to change depending on the author as well as given situation Wonder Woman finds herself in. Most notably she's got super human strength, speed, intellectual and mental skills. Furthermore she has shown the skills to communicate with animals, perform telepathy, blow gusts of wind at amazing speeds, and occasionally fly.
Wonder Woman has indestructible bracelets(which in many story lines can't be removed), and the Lasso of Truth, which if lassoed by, captives are magically forced to be truthful. The Lasso is usually said to be indestructible and can also be lengthened at an endless length. Wonder Woman also has a tiara that possesses super qualities, and she can throw the tiara with a boomerang-like effect.
Together with Batman and Superman, Wonder Woman comprises DC Comic's so called "Trinity" which is basically indicating they are the three most powerful and iconic characters in the DC Comic Universe.
Apart from being heroic & superhuman, Wonder Woman is incredibly beautiful. The objective behind these qualities appeared to be her makers attempt to suggest that women can easily posses every one of these attributes at the same time, thus to help liberate the women of that time from becoming chained in or pigeon-holed by males of their period.
Through the years, Wonder Woman has retained a high level of popularity considering that she is a woman in an otherwise man infested world, from both the world of comic characters and the customers who buy them. As a result she has been somewhat of a trailblazer in the business which has since added figures such as Super Girl, Wonder Girl, Cat Woman, and Marvels long list of female characters such as Jean Grey/Phoenix, Storm, Rogue, Mystique, and so on.
In recent years there was a TV show pilot on NBC that had been cancelled however it may resurface on another network in the near future. There are also rumors that the motion picture idea has been tossed around which would appear to match the recent increase of super hero movies lately.
