Many people ask me why I love Wonder Woman so much…well, there are many reasons!  Perhaps the most obvious in terms of the external is because physically, her character is drawn as a strong, muscular woman who has radiating beauty, power, and self-confidence.  As a child who grew up in the 70’s, I always adored her and the vibrant colors of her costume.  I  was proud to wear my Wonder Woman “Under-oos” and would wear a blanket on my head to pretend I had long hair like her; I think most women my age viewed her as their superhero!  I consciously know that as a young girl, I wished I could grow into a woman like her even though I don’t have blue eyes and White skin!  :-)  For me, it wasn’t about wanting those details – it was about wanting to look so fit, strong, healthy, and (hopefully) beautiful in my own way…

Diana was given her super powers by the Gods of Olympus. Her powers include:
Great speed & flight, the strength of the earth, the skill & eye of the hunter, great wisdom, unity with nature & beasts, the power to draw truth from men. She was blessed with great beauty and a
loving heart.

The Golden Lasso of Truth was a gift from the goddess Hestia and forged by the god Hephaestus. The lasso gives Diana reign over the fires of truth, forcing anyone bound by it to speak the truth. It was made from the golden girdle of Gaea, the earth mother in Greek Mythology, making it indestructible!

Diana was awarded Silver Bracelets when she championed all other amazons in a contest to win the right to be Wonder Woman. The bracelets are indestructible (made from the shield of Zeus - The Aegis) and along with her great speed and reflexes, are used to deflect projectiles, like bullets and such.

In February 1982, her trademark "Eagle" emblem that adorned her bustier was replaced by the "WW" symbol design and has been used ever since.

Wonder Woman's famous "Red White & Blue" costume was inspired by the symbols & flags of the uniform air force pilot Diana Trevor wore when she landed on the island.

The Red "bustier" section of her costume also serves as armor. She also appears in full Gladiator style garb, when required, for major battles.

Diana's new star shaped earrings were given to her as gift from her sister, Donna who used to wear them when she was Wonder Girl. These new earrings also serve as a transmitter with which she can communicate with other Superheroes in the Justice League of America.

The Golden Tiara Diana wears was once a symbol of her station as a 'Princess' - now it simply symbolizes her role as an ambassador of peace and hope for Paradise Island to the rest of the world. It is razor sharp and can be used as a boomerang.
