In most adaptations, Wonder Woman is Princess Diana of the Amazon warrior tribe of Greek mythology. "Diana" is the Roman name for the Greek goddess on whom this character is based; "Artemis" is her Greek name. The Amazon ambassador to the larger world, she possesses several superhuman abilities and gifts from the Greek gods including the Lasso of Truth created from the Golden Girdle of Gaea and indestructable silver bracelets formed from the shield Aegis. For several years she was described, in the splash page of each story, as being "beautiful as Aphrodite, wise as Athena, swifter than Mercury and stronger than Hercules." She is also a member of the Justice League.

Marston designed Wonder Woman as a distinctly feminist character and many subsequent writers, especially those of the 1970s and afterward, have written her as such.

Outside the comic book community, she is known for the popular 1975–79 television adaptation starring Lynda Carter. Wonder Woman was also featured in the 1970s and '80s animated series Super Friends and the Justice League animated series in the 2000s.

History

Her origin and creator

William Moulton Marston was an educational consultant in 1940 for Detective Comics, Inc. (now DC Comics). Marston saw that the DC line was filled with such übermensch images as those of Green Lantern, Batman, and its flagship character, Superman. In response, Marston created a super female hero to serve as a role model for girls, and introduced the idea to Max Gaines, co-founder with Jack Liebowitz of All-American Publications. Given the go-ahead, Marston developed Wonder Woman with his wife, Elizabeth (Sadie) Holloway Marston, who served as the partial model for that era's unconventional liberated woman. Another inspiration was found in Olive Byrne, an equally unconventional individual, who lived with the couple in a polygamous/polyamorous relationship. Marston used a pseudonym that combined his own middle name with Gaines' middle name to devise Charles Moulton.
