She also has super-strength, super-agility, can deflect bullets with her bracelets, throw her tiara like a boomerang, fly an invisible jet, and talk to animals.

Yes, her main power is to make boys have a fetish for star-spangled panties, red leather boots, and golden-eagle bustiers, but there are others...

You know, I think you people are posting Wonder Woman stuff these days just to provoke me.

Let's get this straight: The '70s TV show was *terrible. The only reason it lasted as long as it did was because of this:



Now let's discuss what Wonder Woman's superpowers really are (mostly copy/pasted from Wikipedia)

1. Strength - She has lifted the entire island of Themiscyra out of the water, and prevented chunks of the moon from hitting Earth
2. Speed - She has moved as fast as half the speed of light
3. Stamina - She NEVER tires out
4. Flight - She can fly completely unassisted, no jet required (and look damn good while doing it)
5. She is highly resistant to injury - She has even shaken off gun fire. She also heals quickly.
6. She is a master of both armed and unarmed combat. NO ONE is her rival in this department. Even when sparring with other superheroes (while lowering her strength and speed to match theirs, just to be fair), she still kicks all their asses. Even Batman's. She is also a natural leader in combat, and a brilliant tactician and strategist.
7. She's a genius. She's a master of numerous languages, sciences, and philosophies.

She has other powers too, but those are the main ones. Her golden lasso and bracelets are also useful, but not necessary to put the smack down. In the DC universe she is second only to Superman in overall power, and not a distant second either. When Superman's mind was being controlled by a villain, she was the only one who was able to stop the Man of Steel long enough until the situation was brought under control.

So leave my woman alone!

Ha, I must have been typing up my mini-rant when you wrote this. Yes, I suppose her main power not found in the pages is to give woodrows to many fanboys.

And FYI: She rarely uses the invisible jet anymore. She mostly uses it to transport people or equipment, but even this is very infrequent.

But she still likes to give hugs!>> ^NetRunner:

@kronosposeidon I only really know her from the 70's show, and I admittedly mostly watched it for the, uhh, woodrows.

Sounds like in the comics she had a lot more power than her softcore TV version did. I don't recall her lifting anything much heavier than a car there, and she wasn't inhumanly fast, nor capable of flying without machinery.

I suppose she was a genius there too, but that only really manifested itself in her being able to occasionally answer trivia questions, not in the sense that Wonder Woman got presented as being uncannily intelligent in her actions or speech...

The TV show was mostly based on her earliest days in comic books. Indeed, she originally didn't have the power of flight, but the writers gave it to her in 1960 - over 50 years ago now. They boosted her other powers slowly over time, just like they did with Superman (who now can approach the speed of light, but back in the beginning he was happy just to outrace bullets). Even when the TV show debuted her power of flight had been in existence for 15 years, but I think they chose to ignore it mainly because realistic human flight FX were too costly for most TV budgets back then.

I really believe they never tried to make a serious show. It was the '70s, and jiggling curves had finally become acceptable for American television. This is what they exploited. And to make a crappy, campy show like that last 4 years is a testament to how much one woman's bouncing boobs were cherished by male Americans of the time. Now it takes multiple sets of titties to make it these days. We've made great strides, haven't we? >> ^NetRunner:

Remember also, WW can't die. If "killed" she becomes a goddess.

Have you seen the new outfit? Rather than argue I'm just going to show it to you.

Adding video to channels (Vintage) - requested by ant.

They should get an athlete for the role (maybe Gina Carano?) or at least an actress that looks reasonably athletic or has demonstrated they can do action. I suppose Michelle Yeoh probably wouldn't quite work...

But they won't. They very seldom seem to care about whether an actress can credibly kick or throw a punch. So yeah, they'll get a swimsuit model and the action scenes will suck.
