Hidden behind this controversy is one reason for all those chains and ropes, which has to do with the history of the fight for women's rights. Because Marston kept his true relationship with Olive Byrne a secret, he kept his family's ties to Margaret Sanger a secret, too. Marston, Byrne and Holloway, and even Harry G. Peter, the artist who drew Wonder Woman, had all been powerfully influenced by the suffrage, feminism and birth control movements. And each of those movements had used chains as a centerpiece of its iconography.
The final remaining relics Darkseid needed were being guarded by A.R.G.U.S. at their HQ, so Darkseid decided to use a Boom Tube to transport the building and all its contents to his base in the Amazon Rainforest. The Female Furies retrieved the relics and put them into place while Wonder Woman fought Darkseid. With the relics' power, Darkseid was able to open a portal to Themyscira. As it is impossible for one who has set foot on Themyscira to return after leaving, Diana was unable to follow Grail through the portal. Grail invaded and began transforming the Amazons into creatures resembling Darkseid's Parademons.[98] As Jason had never actually set foot on Themyscira, he followed Grail and met his mother Hippolyta for the first time since his birth. While Jason and Hippolyta fought off the transformed Amazons, Wonder Woman was able to defeat Darkseid through her love for her deceased father, Zeus, and her half-siblings, calling their spirits out of Darkseid's body and destroying him from the inside. The Amazons captured Grail and imprisoned her in the prison beneath Themyscira, alongside Ares, while Darkseid re-emerged somewhere on Earth. Jason was gifted a magical spear from his mother and returned to Earth.[99]
Wonder Woman appears in the first three issues of the Ame-Comi comic run. She is depicted as a young warrior eager to prove herself in battle, but when she goes against her mothers words it results in a punishment of sorts. Diana is made into an ambassador of peace to the world outside of Themyscira, which she is reluctant to perform. At a U.N. Assembly where she announces Themyscira's intention for peace she is attack by Cheetah, who is quickly defeated. This depiction of Diana is that of a younger amazon who is depicted in a more arrogant and aggressive manner.
In March 2005, Warner Bros. and Silver Pictures announced that Joss Whedon would write and direct the film.[74] Early drafts of his screenplay included Steve Trevor as the narrator, a fierce battle between Diana and her mother over Trevor's welfare, and after leaving Themyscira, his need to frequently rescue a Diana rendered helpless by the modern world.[75] Whedon was not able to complete a final version of his screenplay, and left the project in 2007.[76][77]
Due to the format of most golden age comics, the majority of story arcs at the time for all characters were the same, Wonder Woman included. More accurately that is to say that there were not story arcs at all, as issues contained two to three stories, all of which started and concluded within the issue in question. There was therefore not much continuity in Wonder Woman until she reached the silver age. The few exceptions to this were in issues which contained a common theme, such as Wonder Woman meeting some leprechauns and each of the three stories dealing with that. Alternately there were some common themes for the character at the time, one of which was dealing with enemy saboteurs. These were mostly contemporary, and thus started as either the National Socialists in Germany or the Imperial Japanese. Later these became others.
"Noted Psychologist Revealed as Author of Best-Selling 'Wonder Woman,'" read the astonishing headline. In the summer of 1942, a press release from the New York offices of All-American Comics turned up at newspapers, magazines and radio stations all over the United States. The identity of Wonder Woman's creator had been "at first kept secret," it said, but the time had come to make a shocking announcement: "the author of 'Wonder Woman' is Dr. William Moulton Marston, internationally famous psychologist." The truth about Wonder Woman had come out at last.
In Wonder Woman Vol. 1 #204, Diana's powers and costume were returned to her and she is once again reinstated as Wonder Woman.[94] I-Ching is killed by a crazy sniper in the same issue.[96] Later, Diana meets her sister Nubia, who is Hippolyta's daughter fashioned out of dark clay (hence Nubia's dark complexion).[97][98] Nubia claimed to be the "Wonder Woman of The Floating Island", and she challenges Diana to a duel which ends in a draw.[98] Returning to her home, Nubia would have further adventures involving Diana.[97]
This new era of the comic book was influenced by the British television series The Avengers, with Wonder Woman in the role of Emma Peel.[10] With Diana Prince running a boutique, fighting crime, and acting in concert with private detective allies Tim Trench and Jonny Double, the character resembled the Golden Age Black Canary. Soon after the launch of the "new" Wonder Woman, the editors severed all connections to her old life, most notably by killing Steve Trevor.[11]
The New 52 universe does not have a "Diana Prince" identity as stated in an interview by series writer Brian Azzarello.[67] However, when she and Superman began dating, for her civilian identity she used the Diana Prince alias whenever she was around Clark Kent; such as when she introduced herself to Lois Lane at Lois's housewarming party under that name.[68]
Diana's bulletproof bracelets were formed from the remnants of Athena's legendary shield, the Aegis, to be awarded to her champion. The shield was made from the indestructible hide of the great she-goat, Amalthea, who suckled Zeus as an infant. These forearm guards have thus far proven NIGH-indestructible (the Omega Beams of Grail have proven able to shatter them), and are able to absorb the impact of incoming attacks, allowing Wonder Woman to deflect automatic weapon fire and energy blasts.[203] Diana can slam the bracelets together to create a wave of concussive force capable of making strong beings like Superman's ears bleed.[63] Recently, she gained the ability to channel Zeus's lightning through her bracelets as well. Zeus explained to her that this power had been contained within the bracelets since their creation, because they were once part of the Aegis, and that he had only recently unlocked it for her use.[204] After the 2011 relaunch of the character, it was revealed that Diana was the daughter of Zeus and Hippolyta[136] and that the bracelets are able to keep the powers she had inherited from Zeus in check.[189] In addition, Hephaestus has modified the bracelets to allow Wonder Woman the sorcerous ability to manifest a sword of grayish metal from each bracelet. Each sword, marked with a red star, takes shape from a flash of lightning, and when Wonder Woman is done with them, the swords disappear, supposedly, back into her bracelets. As such, she has produced other weapons from the bracelets in this way such as a bow that fires explosive arrows, spears and energy bolts among others.[205]
Another major outfit change for Wonder Woman came about as part of DC Comics' 2011 relaunch of its entire line of publications, The New 52. The character's original one-piece outfit was restored, although the color combination of red and blue was changed to dark red and blue-black. Her chest-plate, belt and tiara were also changed from gold to a platinum or sterling silver color. Along with her sword, she now also utilizes a shield. She wears many accessories such as arm and neck jewelry styled as the "WW" motif. Her outfit is no longer made of fabric, as it now resembles a type of light, flexible body armor. Her boots are now a very dark blue rather than red. The design previously included black trousers, but they were removed and the one-piece look was restored during the time of publication.[196]
Following Pérez, William Messner-Loebs took over as writer and Mike Deodato became the artist for the title. Messner-Loebs introduced Diana's Daxamite friend Julia in Wonder Woman vol. 2 #68 during the six-issue space arc.[38][39] Messner-Loebs's most memorable contribution to the title was the introduction of the red-headed Amazon Artemis, who took over the mantle of Wonder Woman for a short time. He also included a subplot during his run in an attempt to further humanize Diana by having her work for a fictional fast food chain called "Taco Whiz".[9]
Artemis of Bana-Mighdall briefly served as Wonder Woman during Hippolyta's trials for a new Wonder Woman. Orana, a character similar to Artemis, defeated Diana in a new contest and became Wonder Woman in pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths continuity. Orana was killed during her first mission. Others who have donned the Wonder Woman persona include Nubia, Cassandra Sandsmark, and Donna Troy.
Diana quickly regained her sanity and was taken out of the mental hospital's care. She immediately noted the absence of Barbara and set out to locate her. However, when she arrived at Empire Enterprises, she was greeted only by Doctor Cyber.[81] Cale set Team Poison onto Wonder Woman once again, and Colonel Poison managed to shoot Diana through the chest. Diana and Steve quickly overcame their forces and followed Veronica Cale and Cheetah to a gateway that led to Themyscira. Wonder Woman and Cheetah fought, and a drop of Diana's blood fell onto the gateway which opened the portal to Ares' prison beneath Themyscira. Phobos and Deimos, whom Cale had turned into dogs with the help of Circe, entered the portal, along with Diana and Veronica Cale. Veronica found her daughter beside Ares.[82]
Later, Diana is seen in the Gotham City Museum of Antiquities (with ancient Greco-Roman exhibits), conversing with an elderly couple, when the curator comes up, and offers to show her something of interest. She politely excuses herself and follows him to the exhibit of the fake replica of Alexander the Great's sword, which the ancient conqueror of the Middle East had used to cut the Gordian knot.
While not completely invulnerable, she is highly resistant to great amounts of concussive force and extreme temperatures and matches Superman[186] in this regard. She is completely immune to his heat vision, virtually any damage, or even the core of the sun. However, edged weapons or projectiles applied with sufficient force are able to pierce her skin.[181][187] Due to her divine origins, Diana can resist many forms of magical manipulation.
Using Bruce's equipment, Diana tries to track down Victor. Victor is aware of Bruce's interest in him; due to his connection to information and security systems, Victor hacks in the computers to send Diana a message. Diana suggests a meeting and when Victor asks why he should trust her, Diana tells him that she knew he was at the lake watching her and Bruce. If she meant to harm him, she would have done it then. Diana and Victor meet face to face, and he tells them that the invaders they are searching for are hiding in the dead zones. When Diana tries to convince him to join them, he flies off.[8]
In addition, Diana appears to hold members of her close family in high esteem. In addition to the respect she has for her mother, Hippolyta, and aunt Antiope, she indicated that she held her father Zeus in the same very high esteem, when she was visibly angered when Lex Luthor referred to him distastefully while discussing the story of the Titan Prometheus.
A pantheon of terrible Dark Gods has come to Earth, bringing with them death and destruction. People everywhere are renouncing their own faith in favor of the Dark Gods', causing riots and worse. The Justice League was supposed to be their cavalry, but with their defeat, Diana and Jason are on their own. The Star Sapphires summon Wonder Woman to help them conquer their own threat, and Jason is left truly alone. Diana is left with no choice but to help the Star Sapphires, while praying Jason can hold out against the dark deities until her return…
Wonder Woman appears as one of the lead characters in the Justice League title written by Geoff Johns and drawn by Jim Lee that was launched in 2011 as part of The New 52.[152] In August 2012, she and Superman shared a kiss in Justice League Vol 2 #12, which has since developed into a romantic relationship.[153][154][155] DC launched a Superman/Wonder Woman series that debuted in late 2013, which focuses both the threats they face together, and on their romance as a "Power Couple".[156][157]
Following the 2016 DC Rebirth continuity relaunch, Wonder Woman's outfit was redesigned to resemble the one worn in the film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. This outfit is a red bustier with a gold eagle, a blue leather skirt with gold edges with two stars, and knee-high red boots with gold knee guards and accents. Her tiara once again is gold with a red star. She occasionally wears a red cape with a gold clasp and edges.[volume & issue needed] She continues to wear this updated outfit in DC Universe, the continuity established after Rebirth.
Steve Trevor died at the end of Wonder Woman after sacrificing himself to ensure that a plane full of deadly gas couldn't harm anyone on the ground. Is this Steve Trevor the same Steve Trevor that we saw in Wonder Woman who was transported to 1984 because of something like time travel, a descendant of Steve Trevor's who is also named Steve Trevor (and looks exactly like Pine), a clone, or something else entirely? (It's a comic book movie, so anything is possible.)
Trevor pitched a mission to destroy the facility where the gas was being created, but his superiors decided against it, stating that it was too late in the war to do something as drastic as that. When Trevor argued that more soldiers would die, his superiors simply stated that that was what soldiers did. With the battle of Themyscira and the death of her aunt so fresh in her mind, Diana was infuriated by the man's comments and berated him, calling him a coward and telling the rest of the council that they should be ashamed. Trevor escorted her out as she ranted, apologizing to the council on her behalf.
I remember when I read in the news that Wonder Woman had been cast and my heart sank ... I'm sure we wouldn't have made the same choice. And then I started paying attention to her, and watching her and looking at her and it was just unbelievable. Frankly, I think they did a better job than I could have because I don't know that I would have scoured the earth as hard to find her ... They were looking for all the same things I would have looked for—all the values that Wonder Woman stands for exuding from someone in an honest way, and boy did they find it ... She shares every quality with Wonder Woman and that's no joke. It's one of those rare things. You need someone who can appear to be Wonder Woman on screen ... Every once in a while, there's superhero casting that transcends, because that person is so authentic to the character that it becomes identified with them, like Lynda Carter or Christopher Reeve.
Wonder Woman has been the subject of a discussion regarding the appearance and representation of female power in general, and of female action heroes in particular[225] since her initial 1941 appearance in Sensation Comics,[225] as she was created to document "the growth in the power of women", while wearing "a golden tiara, a red bustier, blue underpants and knee-high, red leather boots."[226] She was blacklisted a year later in 1942 in the "Publications Disapproved for Youth" because, the group behind the list argued, she was "not sufficiently dressed".[226][227]
She is able to astrally project herself into various lands of myth. Her physical body reacts to whatever happens to her on the mythical astral plane, leaving her body cut, bruised, or sometimes strengthened once her mind and body are reunited. She can apparently leave the planet through meditation and did this once to rescue Artemis while she was in Hell.[188]
Voiced by Susan Eisenberg. Justice League Doomed is a animated movie based on the story ''Tower of Bable''. Mirror Master hacks into the computers of the Batcave by the order of Vandal Savage. Vandal Savage calls in one enemy of each of the JLA'ers, and he calls in Cheetah for Wonder Woman. Cheetah fights against Wonder Woman and injects her with a toxin which makes her see that everyone is Cheetah. It was later revealed that this toxin was a contingency for Wonder Woman made by Batman in case she goes rogue, as he did for the rest of the Justice League with different plans for each.
At the time of her debut, Wonder Woman sported a red top with a golden eagle emblem, a white belt, blue star-spangled culottes, and red and golden go-go boots. She originally wore a skirt; however according to Elizabeth Martson, "It was too hard to draw and would have been over her head most of the time."[189] This outfit was entirely based on the American flag, because Wonder Woman was purely an American icon as she debuted during World War II.[194] Later in 1942, Wonder Woman's outfit received a slight change – the culottes were converted entirely into skin-tight shorts and she wore sandals.[194] While earlier most of her back was exposed, during the imposition of the Comics Code Authority in the mid-1950s, Wonder Woman's outfit was rectified to make her back substantially covered, in order to comply with the Authority's rule of minimum exposure.[194] During Mike Sekowsky's run in the late 1960s, Diana surrendered her powers and started using her own skills to fight crime. She wore a series of jumpsuits as her attire; the most popular of these was a white one.[194]
In the Golden Age, Wonder Woman adhered to an Amazon code of helping any in need, even misogynistic people, and never accepting a reward for saving someone;[74] while conversely, the modern version of the character has been shown to perform lethal and fatal actions when left with no other alternative, exemplified in the killing of Maxwell Lord in order to save Superman's life.[63][64]
In the preview in DC Comics Presents #41 (January 1982), writer Roy Thomas and penciler Gene Colan provided Wonder Woman with a stylized "WW" emblem on her bodice, replacing the traditional eagle.[17] The "WW" emblem, unlike the eagle, could be protected as a trademark and therefore had greater merchandising potential. Wonder Woman #288 (February 1982) premiered the new costume and an altered cover banner incorporating the "WW" emblem.[18] The new emblem was the creation of Milton Glaser, who also designed the "bullet" logo adopted by DC in 1977, and the cover banner was originally made by studio letterer Todd Klein, which lasted for a year and a half before being replaced by a version from Glaser's studio.[19][20] Dann Thomas co-wrote Wonder Woman #300 (Feb. 1983)[21][22] and, as Roy Thomas noted in 1999 "became the first woman ever to receive scripting credit on the world's foremost super-heroine."[23]
Granted by Artemis (Goddess of the Hunt). Eyesight, hearing, taste, touch and smell are all on super-human level. She has exceptional hearing and night vision, and has even shown the ability to track her enemies by scent in some instances (especially in natural environments). Wonder Woman has the (Hunters Eyes) which allows her to always hit her mark and see far distances.
After the death of Superman, Wonder Woman became depressed and began to remember her origins differently, questioning aspects of her past such as whether she truly was mocked as a child and her relationship with Ares. In a fit of rage Diana crushed the helmet of War. Realizing that she shouldn't have been able to do that, she used the Lasso of Truth on herself and discovered that she had been deceived. Diana traveled to Olympus for answers, but found it abandoned. She also found herself unable to return to her home of Themyscira.[7]
Wonder Woman continued to use the plane for super speed, outer space, and multi-dimensional transport up until the unpowered era of Diana Prince. When Wonder Woman resumed superpowered, costumed operations in 1973, she continued to use the jet as before, but did glide on air currents for short distances. At one point, Aphrodite granted the plane the power to fly faster than the speed of light for any interstellar voyages her champion might undertake.[200] Thanks to tinkering by gremlins, the Plane even developed intelligence and the power to talk.[201] The plane proved a good friend, eager to help his "mistress" and her loved ones in any way possible. It got along especially well with Steve Trevor.[citation needed]
Diana attends Clark's funeral in Smallville along with Bruce, with the latter paying for it as an anonymous donor. The two share a conversation about honoring Superman by bringing together the three other metahumans, in case a worse threat to the world should ever arise. Diana inquires why Bruce is proposing it. He replies that it is simply due to a feeling he has that things will imminently get worse (in reality, he was following the instructions given to him by the scarlet time-traveler that appeared in one of his "dreams", as well as heeding Lex Luthor's enigmatic warning). Diana walks away from the graveyard, pondering his words.[5]
^ Lyons, Charles. "Suffering Sappho! A Look at the Creator & Creation of Wonder Woman". Comic Book Resources. Archived from the original on January 19, 2013. Retrieved August 23, 2006. Maxwell Charles Gaines, then publisher of All-American Comics, saw the interview and offered Marston a job as an educational consultant to All-American and sister company DC Comics.
Gloria Steinem also liked the film, stating that she felt it made the "Amazon origin story clear; [Wonder Woman] was stopping war, not perpetuating it." Steinem also noted that she knew "some women were disappointed by all the makeup, but I may be desperate—I was just happy that the Amazons had wild hair!" Her only complaint lay in the choice to eliminate the World War II setting as the Wonder Woman comic book developed in response to existing comics that were "so sadistic and racist that there was a congressional hearing on the subject".[249] Steinem also gave Hillary Clinton the first Wonder Woman Award in October 2017 during the Women's Media Center's "Speaking Truth to Power Awards" (an organization created by Steinem, Jane Fonda, and Robin Morgan). Upon receiving the award, Clinton noted that she had seen Jenkins's Wonder Woman film and that she "loved the outfit". She also said that as her granddaughter was "really keen" on Wonder Woman, Clinton "thought maybe I could borrow something from her for the night. It didn't quite work for me, but I will say that this award means a lot to me because as a little girl, and then as a young woman, and then as a slightly older woman, I always wondered when Wonder Woman would have her time, and now that has happened."[250] Clinton had previously praised Jenkins's film, in a public August 2017 message, stating that "it was just as inspirational as I'd suspected a movie about a strong, powerful woman in a fight to save the world from international disaster would be."[251][252][253]
While in London, Wonder Woman was summoned to help a young lady called Zola from the minions of the goddess Hera and after Diana defeated the enemies, she was informed by Hermes that Zola was pregnant with Zeus's child, which caused Hera's wrath.[16] Diana then took took Zola and the injured Hermes to the island of Themyscira, home of the Amazons, where Hera's wrath reached them in the form of her daughter Strife. Wonder Woman used the Lasso of Truth to stop Strife from hurting the Amazons, but it caused her to reveal the fact that Diana and her were sisters.[9] The next day, Diana learned from her mother that she was in fact Zeus' daughter and, hurt by her existence being a lie, she decided to renounce the name Diana, and swore never to return to the island again.[10]
Many writers have depicted Diana in different personalities and tone; between both of her diametric extremes; that of a worldly warrior, a highly compassionate and calm ambassador, and sometimes also as a naive and innocent person, depending on the writer. What has remained constant, and is a mainstay of the character, is her nurturing humanity: her overwhelming belief in love, empathy, compassion, and having a strong conscience.[citation needed] This trait had been the reason for her induction into the Star Sapphires.[69][70]
Director James Cameron continued this debate, through his critique of the representation of female power in Jenkins's film. In an August 2017 interview with The Guardian, Cameron qualifies Jenkins's vision of Wonder Woman as "an objectified icon" and called the film "a step backwards". In contrast, he states, his character Sarah Connor (from his Terminator films) "was not a beauty icon. She was strong, she was troubled, she was a terrible mother, and she earned the respect of the audience through pure grit."[254] Jenkins stated in response that Cameron's "inability to understand what 'Wonder Woman' is, or stands for, to women all over the world is unsurprising as, though he is a great filmmaker, he is not a woman". She further argued "there is no right and wrong kind of powerful woman" because "if women have to always be hard, tough and troubled to be strong, and we aren't free to be multidimensional or celebrate an icon of women everywhere because she is attractive and loving, then we haven't come very far have we."[255] Reaction to this debate was mixed. Julie Miller sided with Cameron, whom she states refers to himself as "a pretty hardcore feminist" and who told Vulture that "I have no problem writing a script in which the males become subservient to the females, which is what happens in Aliens ... It's up to Ripley to win the day." In contrast, Miller argues that Jenkins and Gadot envisioned Wonder Woman as "a woman who exuded both femininity and strength, along with genuine confusion as to why men would treat women differently than they do other men".[256] Susannah Breslin also agreed with Cameron, describing Jenkins's Wonder Woman as "a Playmate with a lasso" and "female power with no balls".[257] Others were more critical of Cameron's critique.[258] An article in Newsweek suggests that in contrast to his criticism of Jenkins, Cameron's own films include "lot of objectification" and quotes a few Hollywood celebrities who echoed this view. One of the quotes came from Jesse McLaren who states that "James Cameron's just confused there's a female hero whose motivations aren't centered around motherhood."[259] Noah Berlatsky found areas of agreement between both Cameron and Jenkins, stating that while Cameron's objection is "an old point that's been made over and over for decades", Jenkins's film is not "solely focused on objectifying Gal Gadot for a male audience".[260]
In 2011's The New 52, DC Comics relaunched its entire line of publications to attract a new generation of readers, and thus released volume 4 of the Wonder Woman comic book title. Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang were assigned writing and art duties respectively and revamped the character's history considerably. In this new continuity, Wonder Woman wears a costume similar to her original Marston costume, utilizes a sword and shield, and has a completely new origin. No longer a clay figure brought to life by the magic of the gods, she is, instead, a demi-goddess and the natural-born daughter of Hippolyta and Zeus. Azzarello and Chiang's revamp of the character was critically acclaimed, but highly divisive among longtime fans of the character.[47][48][49][50]

Gaines didn't know any of this when he met Marston in 1940 or else he would never have hired him: He was looking to avoid controversy, not to court it. Marston and Wonder Woman were pivotal to the creation of what became DC Comics. (DC was short for Detective Comics, the comic book in which Batman debuted.) In 1940, Gaines decided to counter his critics by forming an editorial advisory board and appointing Marston to serve on it, and DC decided to stamp comic books in which Superman and Batman appeared with a logo, an assurance of quality, reading, "A DC Publication." And, since "the comics' worst offense was their blood-curdling masculinity," Marston said, the best way to fend off critics would be to create a female superhero.
Although the exact amount that Jenkins will receive for Wonder Woman 2 is unknown, her contract will include writing, directing, and producing credits along with a "substantial backend of box office grosses," making her the highest-paid female director in Hollywood. Jenkins presumably had a lot more leverage at the negotiating table following Wonder Woman's massive success.
Diana was born circa 5000 years ago on the newly-created island of Themyscira to Zeus and Hippolyta, the Queen of the Amazons, mere months after the War of the Gods. Zeus intended for the child to one day grow strong enough to defeat Ares, the God of War. Fearful for her daughter's safety, Hippolyta lied to Diana about her true parentage, instead telling Diana that she'd sculpted her from clay and prayed to Zeus to bring her to life. Diana would believe this story for most of her life.
Despite helping win the war, defeating Ares and still loving humanity, Diana is still left sobered, emotionally broken, psychologically scarred, and devastated over not having been able to save the Belgian village from Dr. Poison, as well as over her beloved Steve Trevor's self-sacrificing death. Indeed, Diana would later claim that she "would never be the same" ever again after World War I. Moreover, in the years that followed, Diana bore witness to a "century of horrors" (Wars, Fascism, Communism, nuclear weapons' deployment, geopolitical brinkmanship, racism, homophobia, genocides, war crimes, propaganda, and etc.), and due to all of this occurring without Ares being there to spread corruption, Diana almost completely lost faith in humanity, coming to believe that humans "made a world where standing together is impossible".[4] As such, Diana resolved to mostly abandon superheroism for 100 years.[5]
Genius-Level Intellect: Wonder Woman is extremely intelligent, wise, well-read, perceptive, and sophisticated, primarily due to her tremendously long immortal lifespan, natural fluency in all human languages (even dead ones, like Latin, Ancient Greek, Sumerian, and Ottoman Turkish), her having read many books even while still on Themyscira, and her century of living in "Man's World" after World War I, all of which makes Wonder Woman the wisest and most emotionally intelligent member of the Justice League, despite her having initially been naive, headstrong, and idealistic at the time of leaving Themyscira with Steve Trevor. As such, Wonder Woman has no issues blending in with the high-class society of "Man's World." She held her own while verbally sparring with Batman (with the extremely experienced vigilante having trouble discerning her identity), was the first to realize that Doomsday's adaptive healing factor was energy-based, and was the only one on supergenius Lex Luthor's metahuman list to figure out that Lex was keeping tabs on her and had obtained a compromising photo of her with Steve Trevor (possibly due to her having been once been fooled by another deceitful supervillain, Ares). She also displays a keen understanding of technology and biomechatronics, shown when Wonder Woman uses the Batcomputer, remarks on Cyborg's Mother Box enhancements,[12] and when she deduced that resurrecting Superman with a Mother Box might produce a monster like Doomsday. Wonder Woman's intellectual genius extends itself to her combat, perceptiveness, stealth, arcane lore, and antiquities dealing skills.
The I Ching era had an influence on the 1974 Wonder Woman TV movie featuring Cathy Lee Crosby, in which Wonder Woman was portrayed as a non-superpowered globe-trotting super-spy who wore an amalgam of the Wonder Woman and Diana Prince costumes. The first two issues of Allan Heinberg's run (Wonder Woman vol. 3, #1–2) include direct references to I Ching, and feature Diana wearing an outfit similar to that which she wore during the I Ching era.[9]
Marston was a man of a thousand lives and a thousand lies. "Olive Richard" was the pen name of Olive Byrne, and she hadn't gone to visit Marston—she lived with him. She was also the niece of Margaret Sanger, one of the most important feminists of the 20th century. In 1916, Sanger and her sister, Ethel Byrne, Olive Byrne's mother, had opened the first birth-control clinic in the United States. They were both arrested for the illegal distribution of contraception. In jail in 1917, Ethel Byrne went on a hunger strike and nearly died.
A warning that is first heard from the lips of Cheetah as she attempts to escape captivity, yet is echoed by others around the globe, all putting Wonder Woman on alert. As she attempts to investigate, she is attacked by Supergirl, wanting vengeance for the death of Rao, as the influence has gotten to her as well. An epic battle breaks out, and once again, the trusty Lasso of Truth saves the day, though barely.
I can tell that this story was supposed to have a lot of pathos to it, but I just wasn't feeling it. I couldn't feel.much for Jason, he's been such a twit since he appeared, it is hard to feel for WW and her relationship with him, such as it is. The whole story was pretty meh, honestly. The art was good most of the time, and there were some really fantastic individual p ...more
Gaines was hugely relieved, at least until September 1943, when a letter arrived from John D. Jacobs, a U.S. Army staff sergeant in the 291st Infantry, stationed at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. "I am one of those odd, perhaps unfortunate men who derive an extreme erotic pleasure from the mere thought of a beautiful girl, chained or bound, or masked, or wearing extreme high-heels or high-laced boots,—in fact, any sort of constriction or strain whatsoever," Jacobs wrote. He wanted to know whether the author of Wonder Woman himself had in his possession any of the items depicted in the stories, "the leather mask, or the wide iron collar from Tibet, or the Greek ankle manacle? Or do you just 'dream up' these things?"
Although seemingly only a purely decorative aspect of her costume, in the golden and silver ages, her earrings were sometimes depicted as giving her the ability to breathe in outer space. Gelignite Grenade Earrings and Grappling Hook Bracelet - In her depowered mod girl phase, Diana on rare occasion employed these devices, which were concealed to look like regular parts of her costume. She acquired them from a demolitions expert and villain which she had helped reform. The grenades were strong enough to blast through a thick steel door and the grappling hook could support easily her body weight to aid in climbing.
Carolyn Cocca has stated that Wonder Woman possesses a "duality of character" due to the character possessing both feminine and masculine qualities in her physical abilities and attitude, which Cocca felt made her more appealing to a wide audience.[224] Wonder Woman's first female editor, Karen Berger, claimed that, "Wonder Woman [is] a great role model to young women, but also contains many elements that appeal to males as well. Wonder Woman crosses the gender line.".[224] Berger worked with George Pérez on the new issues of Wonder Woman starting in 1987, and the new Diana "works with friends and allies to teach lessons of peace and equality."[225]
After Crisis on Infinite Earths, George Pérez rebooted the character in 1987. She wore an outfit similar to her 1970s one, but now with a larger glowing golden belt.[194] This outfit continued until William Messner-Loebs' run, which had Diana pass on the role of Wonder Woman to Artemis.[194] No longer Wonder Woman, Diana sported a new black biker-girl outfit designed by artist Mike Deodato Jr.[194] After John Byrne took over writing and art duties, he redesigned the Wonder Woman outfit (Diana was reinstated as Wonder Woman at the end of Loebs' run) and joined the emblem and belt together.[194]

A stand-alone #0 issue was released in September which explored Diana's childhood and her tutelage under Ares, the God of War, now known most often as simply 'War'.[148] The issue was narrated in the style of a typical Silver Age comic book and saw Diana in her childhood years.[149] The main plot of the issue was Diana training under War as he thought of her being an extraordinary girl with immense potential. The issue ultimately concluded with Diana learning and experiencing the importance of mercy, which she first learned when War showed it to her during their sparring. This later translated into her refusal to kill the Minotaur – a task given to her by War; however, this show of mercy makes her a failure in War's eyes, which was actually his fault since he inadvertently "taught" her mercy and affection as his protege.[148][149][150] Later in the series, Wonder Woman is forced to kill War during a conflict with her evil half-brother, Zeus' son First Born, and herself becomes the God of War. After the Amazons are restored, she rules over them both as a warrior queen and God of War, as the ongoing conflict with First Born escalates. At the end of Azzarello's run, as part of a final conflict, Wonder Woman kills First Born, while Zeke is revealed to have been Zeus' plan for resurrection, with Zola revealed to have been a mortal shell for the goddess Athena, who gave birth to Zeus just as he once did to her. Wonder Woman pleads with Athena not to allow the Zola personality, whom she has grown to love as a friend, die with Athena's awakening. Athena leaves the site in animal form, leaving a stunned and confused Zola behind with Wonder Woman.[151]
Marston was sure he knew what line not to cross. Harmless erotic fantasies are terrific, he said. "It's the lousy ones you have to look out for—the harmful, destructive, morbid erotic fixations—real sadism, killing, blood-letting, torturing where the pleasure is in the victim's actual pain, etc. Those are 100 per cent bad and I won't have any part of them." He added, in closing, "Please thank Miss Roubicek for the list of menaces."
Originally signed for three feature films, with Wonder Woman and Justice League being her second and third films, Gadot signed an extension to her contract for additional films.[313] Jenkins initially signed for only one film,[314] but in an interview with Variety, Geoff Johns revealed that he and Jenkins were writing the treatment for a Wonder Woman sequel and that he has a "cool idea for the second one". At the 2017 San Diego Comic Con, Warner Bros. officially announced a sequel would be released on December 13, 2019, and would be titled Wonder Woman 2; the date was later moved up to November 1, 2019, to avoid competition with Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.[315][316][317] Later, Jenkins was officially signed to return as director, with confirmation that Gadot will be returning as the titular role.[318] Days later, the studio hired Dave Callaham to co-write the film's script with Jenkins and Johns.[319] On March 9, 2018, Kristen Wiig was confirmed to play Cheetah, the villain of the film.[320] Later that month, it was announced that Pedro Pascal would have a key role in the film.[321] In May 2018, long-time DCEU producer Zack Snyder confirmed on social media platform Vero that he, along with wife Deborah Snyder, will serve as producers on the Wonder Woman sequel.[322] In June 2018, the title of the film was announced to be Wonder Woman 1984.[323] A third film was announced in January 2019 to be taking place in the present.[324]

Conservative group to argue that Media Matters should have been ineligible for PPP loan
EXCLUSIVE — A conservative group will file a complaint with the Small Business Administration Tuesday alleging that liberal nonprofit organization Media Matters for America was ineligible to receive a federal Paycheck Protection Program loan because the group functions as a political organization.
"Media Matters is a political organization, as everyone who has ever followed them knows," Patriots Foundation president Craig Robinson told Fox News in a statement Monday.
"Other political organizations, like campaigns and state parties, returned their PPP loans," Robinson added. "We are asking the SBA IG to investigate this matter to ensure that taxpayer dollars were not improperly sent to an organization primarily engaged in political activities when SBA rules specifically prohibit it."
A source close to the situation told Fox News that the Patriots Foundation also plans to argue that Media Matters made too much money in 2018 to qualify for a PPE loan.
LIBERAL GROUPS INCLUDING MEDIA MATTERS FILE FOR SMALL-BUSINESS LOANS FROM TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
In a letter to U.S. Small Business Administration Inspector General Hannibal "Mike" Ware, the foundation described Media Matters as "an organization that was established by a notorious Democratic political activist, David Brock, and claims nonprofit status as a charitable organization" under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Media Matters for America founder David Brock
"There are serious questions, however, whether MMFA's activities are consistent with its tax-exempt status due to its extensive political activities supporting Democratic candidates and causes," the letter continued. "Specifically, MMFA has a long history of engaging in partisan political activities designed to benefit the Democratic party and its candidates for public office."
FEC SUED OVER INACTION ON CLAIM AGAINST CLINTON ALLY DAVID BROCK'S ORGANIZATIONS
Last month, CNBC reported that Media Matters and pro-Biden super PAC American Bridge — also founded by Brock — co-presented a series of virtual pre-show events during the Democratic National Convention.
"We hereby request that your office begin an immediate investigation of MMFA's application for and receipt of PPP taxpayer funds and, if you agree that they are a political organization that should not have received the funds in the first place, take all appropriate legal measures to protect the taxpayers," the Patriots Foundation letter to Ware concludes.
Media Matters did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Tuesday's complaint is not the first time that the Patriots Foundation has gone after Media Matters for America.
Last month, the foundation accused the Federal Election Commission (FEC) of not acting on a complaint alleging illegal conduct by Media Matters and three other organizations founded by Brock.
In April, the same group filed a complaint accusing Brock's groups, including Media Matters, of wrongly coordinating with Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign.

Etwall Eagles Masters swimmer Clive Smith has completed a marathon Lake Zurich swim in 10 and a half hours, an incredible effort when you consider you would have to swim 1,056 lengths of your local pool (without stopping) to match his efforts!
Clive swam the 26.4 kilometres in a field of 40 solo swimmers and 21 teams from all over the world. The event started early in the morning at Rapperswil with the target to reach Zurich within the 12 hour time limit.
The 45-year old had to overcome some early navigational challenges, seasonally high temperatures and a shoulder injury which occurred with over 10 kilometres still to swim.
However, his preparation and mental toughness ensured he finished in 11th place in the 40+ years non-wetsuit category.
Clive only started swimming competitively in his mid 30s after joining the Masters section at Etwall Eagles Swimming Club.
His love affair with the sport has continued to grow which has seen him go on and become a qualified swimming teacher.


You are here: Home » SPORT » Roma to sell Dzeko?
Sport Director of Roma Monchi and President Pallotta held a joint meeting and concluded: the sale of players to take place in January in order to bring the right-back player?
Gazzetta dello Sport reported that there is already a list of players who are first to be sold in the winter transition period, and it includes – Edin Dzeko.
It is already known that Bruno Peres and the goalkeeper Sporupski will most certainly leave the club, but officals in Roma estimated that their sales probably will not be enough for the boost of the team, which is currently in the fifth place in Serie A.
The first on the list is Kevin Strootman, a midfielder whose value was about 45 million EUR this summer, but they are now ready to let him go even for smaller amount. Juventus has been interested for the Dutch for a long time, but they would rather sell it outside Italy. Also, the goalkeeper Alisson could go as well, and Liverpool and PSG are interested in him.
El Shaarawy is also on sale, and definitely the most surprising tendency is to sell Edin Dzeko, the first striker of the club with nine goals, and the best player of Roma for years.


Do you face the challenge, when it comes to supply chain budget? Is it difficult to cope up with the excess of inventory? Are you having too many people employed and still find the less work productivity?
Worry not!!! Leverage the power of Bluetooth low energy by deploying beacons in warehouse to gear up with per square feet utilization.
If you have your own warehouse and you are stocking huge inventory; you may be relying on the remote teams or an outsourced vendor to manage day to day operations – which means you do not possess much control over it, even if you wish to implement a smart warehousing program. In most of the retail companies, warehouse management is unorganized and not even recorded in an automated manner. Although there exist an asset tracking tools like RFID tags, barcodes, GPS but when it comes to tracking assets indoors – GPS is useless, if you track the items across large space – ultra short range solutions are ineffective.
But, all thanks to BLE technology, deploying beacons in warehouse can enable tracking every bit of information of your logistics and make sure that, principles of smart warehousing are followed to get high productivity. Bluetooth tags provide an affordable and adaptable infrastructure making it scalable, cost-effective and genuinely exciting solution for the traditional problems.
How beacons in warehouse work?
Beacons can be everywhere in supply chain; every trailer, every forklift, every loading dock bay, every warehouse shelf etc. Beacons can be tuned to broadcast the information at various smart devices adjusting the power output; as the device hears the beacons, it tracks what is nearby and when the device leaves the area, then too event can be recorded. By knowing where your goods are inside your warehouse in real-time, when they are checked-in or checked-out, in which zone they are currently in and the trails they take from entry to exit and much more. To be precise, beacons in warehouse offers unique opportunity for radical changes in daily operation for any logistic need.
Let's dig-in more to know what other perks beacons can provide…..
You can save time and money in your logistics and manufacturing operations by using beacons in warehouse to track the valuable assets. By deploying beacon on an important asset that you want to track; with the associated mobile app, it identifies and monitors the location in real time and collects the important data such as how often it was used, by whom, during which time and much more. To be precise, the associated worker can find the asset with ease, no matter where they are placed. Other than that, beacon ensures security by alerting the administrator if the secured assets are not properly handled or wrong person handling the assets.
Reusing the warehouse assets like forklifts, containers, boxes etc helps the administrator to track their movements, flow of the materials and products carried within and much more. Other than that, you may have some components in the warehouse that you may not be using; by deploying beacons in warehouse, it can monitor your components and perform audits of ideal ones; ensuring their regular maintenance and deploying them to the zone of least distance moving to increase use of per equipment.
Space is always the headache be it's the homes, office or the warehouse. Many times, during loading and unloading stocks it may happen that we may forget to utilize some extra space or it's just out of our sight and very difficult to recognize. Although, inventory audits can help in identifying the free space but can become unmanageable due to the time it takes to scan large warehouse manually. By deploying beacons in warehouse, it offers the chance to track the assets which means they can be stored in place and can be easily found when needed. Beacons provide instant visibility of available space and so, you can audit your goods and load/unload it in the proper place to optimize efficiency.
Fluctuations in demand always impose serious challenges for warehouse managers. Managing seasonality stocks requires timely and precise information about manufacturing, retailing and industry. Information gaps between the warehouse and other relevant entities or the industry limits the ability of the distributor to monitor and respond to changes in demand effectively. It is necessary for warehouses to use timely and accurate information in planning and forecasting demand as well as exactly how much time is spent on which forklift? Where are packages spending the most time? By deploying beacons in warehouse, you can get generate accurate data and find out where errors are occurring. Other than that, beacons can also help in finding out the seasonal stock and rearranging items by alerting to place the product with high demand during current season.
Products like drugs, packet eateries and other sensitive items requires perfect temperature tracking; if not done can lead to unnecessarily complicated solutions. Generally, employees manually check the numbers which adds more room for error. But, by deploying beacons in warehouse, it can handle sensitive items by carefully monitoring the temperature and even you can pull out updated inventory aging reports at a click of button. When the item goes bad due to the temperature or has reached the threshold of expiry date, you can further leverage BLE technology that provides the alerts to dump it instantly.
Why you should use beacons in warehouse?
It is difficult to predict what future holds for beacon in warehouse and logistics; but, beacons being high in demand due to the shortcomings of existing technology predict the high chance to stay for a longer period of time. Developing beacon based mobile app for your warehouse helps to leverage the business and helps to stand tall amongst competitors.
BLE Mobile Apps is one of the BLE Beacon app development companies that helps the organization to cater the needs by developing beacon based mobile app to achieve your business goals. The company thoroughly examines the requirements and thus design and deploy an app after in-depth discussion with all the stakeholders.

In the source which is a part of the chapter Problems and Prospects, the connection between the poverty of the peasants in Malaya and environmental factors is discussed. The climate made the work of farmers and fishermen difficult and promoted illness. In addition, they did not have a balanced diet and lived under hazardous conditions. Their harvests yielded little and fertilizer for the barren land was expensive. The author addresses external factors such as land debt, poor transport routes, high price fluctuations and growing population pressure. In order to solve these problems the author suggests a reduction in population growth, allowing the standard of living to rise.
Many factors are responsible for the poverty of these peasants. One of the most important is the difficult physical environment of the Peninsula. The climate with its constantly high temperature and humidity, and especially its monotony, is a handicap to the efficient working of farmers and fishermen engaged mainly in outdoor manual work. They are also regularly exposed to disease-carrying mosquitoes, mites, flies and other insects, and the nature of the occupations is such that they are often in contact with infected soil. Living as they do, on an inadequate and badly balanced diet, in insanitary surroundings and without proper medical facilities, it is not surprising that they find it difficult if not impossible to maintain a high level of health and efficiency. Their output consequently is low. The great number and variety of insects and other pests which flourish in the hot and humid climate also contribute directly to the low output by attacking the farmers' crops. Moreover, as noted earlier, the soils of the Peninsula are, with few exceptions, infertile and easily eroded, and require regular fertilization to support good crops. Few of the farmers use fertilizers, mainly because they are too poor to be able to afford them, but also because many of them are not convinced of their value. This vicious circle of low output and low incomes is difficult to break.
But the low living standards of the peasants are also caused by other non-physical factors. Widespread rural indebtedness, poor marketing and transport facilities in the rural districts, excessive price fluctuations, agricultural holdings which are too small for their labour capacity and made smaller year by year through increasing pressure of population on the land, through land laws and customs which lead to the repeated subdivision and fragmentation of land, and insecurity of land tenure, among others, are also directly or indirectly responsible. About half of the total peasant population, most of them Malays, grow padi as the main crop. Except in abnormally bad times such as experienced during the Japanese occupation, padi grown in the small holdings brings in a very low income. The high cloudiness, the lack of variations in the length of day, the high temperature and humidity of the Peninsula are all unfavourable to optimum yields from a plant which grows best under sub-tropical and warm temperate conditions. But due to tradition, conservatism and lack of official encouragement to change their crops, the farmers continue to put their land under padi.
as the other sectors of the national economy may be too slow in relation to the rate of population increase to make for a net increase in the overall standards of living. The rate of natural increase of the population in Malaya is between 3.3 and 3.5 per cent per annum. If unchecked, such a rate of growth would result in the doubling of the population in 25 years. Such a rate of growth would also mean that between 8 and 10 per cent of the national income would have to be saved and invested each year to prevent a decline in the income per person, that is, simply to maintain the existing level of living. On the surface the solution to this problem appears to be a fairly straightforward one: measures must be taken to control the rate of population increase and to foster the expansion of the country's economy.

When I awaken to the distinctive sound of metal scraping on wood, I always know it's Tuesday. Evidently Popeye's has some sort of great special on Tuesdays, and there's not much my husband loves more than fried chicken. Therefore, on Tuesday mornings, I often wake up to the sound of him scrounging around in his bathroom drawers, looking for loose change to take with him for lunch.
She even filled it up with supplies for her, and Remi wore it everywhere we went this week.
I love that Addy sees needs and does whatever she can to meet them. She reminds me of Titus 3:14.
I think I need to be practicing that verse, too.
She is so selfless and such a sweetheart!
She is such a sweet girl and great example.

The Sun is the ultimate source of light extinguishing the darkness of the world, the infinite symbol of benevolence, the eternal source of inspiration.

We lived only for ourselves

Ms Anubha Srivastava
From Principal's Desk
"It takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!"
The world is fast changing and becoming increasingly uncertain and competitive. The real mantra of success is to be able to dream, a dream that has a community vision, and to work hard to turn the dream to a reality, standing true to the challenges of time, people and the climate.
At DIS edge, the vision and philosophy of the institution is build around the iconic banyan tree, to impart deep rooted foundation to our children so that they can spread out their being to become a giver to the world. We have carefully curated and picked the learning methodologies that ensure the development of the core skills required for the future: creativity, critical thinking & problem solving. A balanced exposure to technology and values is ensured to foster the right blend of EQ and IQ. The learners are exposed to real life situations for observing, fighting and nurturing with empathy and environment consciousness. The assessments are developed to inculcate self discovery over recall skill; enabling children to discover themselves and understand their innate skills likes and dislikes.
The world is sustained by collaboration and not competition. We uphold the idea that education is most definitely a stirring of the intellect and imagination along with the development of right judgment and an inclination of being of service to our community in whatever situation we find ourselves in. The school is a second home to the children. At home, the involvement of the parents with the children shapes their basic attitudes and interests. The culture of the family is deeply ingrained in their subconscious. The diverse families become one extended family in school, learning from and blending together, enriching themselves further in the secure environment of the school. DIS Edge is the link to nurture the culture of the children to community thought for tomorrow.

Other expenses such as accommodation, food and equipment would need to be added for the estimated 6,000 officers who were assigned to the region after the illegal independence referendum.
Juan Ignacio Zoido, Minister of the Interior said, "The costs are what the Catalan economy is paying and, therefore, Catalan society which is seeing how their competitiveness decreases and how they are losing job creation."


Using the beautiful new book from Hedi Kyle and her daughter Ulla Warchol, The Art of the Fold, we'll make up each of the 36 structures and explore further uses for this fun.
5:00-7:00 pm Bojagi (Bo-Jah-ki) is an ancient Korean folk tradition of making pieced textiles from fabric scraps. We'll translate this technique into beautiful paper works using Korean Hanji papers. Your bojagi can be framed, used as a unique page in a book or added to a collage.
Based on the wonderful new book The Art of the Fold by Hedi Kyle and Ulla Warchol, I'll be teaching a series of five classes based on the five "families" of structures in the book. See the Wet Paint site for more information.
My goal with any workshop, class or demo is to provide students with the knowledge for them to master a technique and then allow them the freedom to explore and experiment themselves. I get as much inspiration from my students as I hope I provide them!
Workshops that are currently scheduled are listed on my Upcoming Classes page.
Note: Some classes are dependent on particular equipment; others are suited for any workspace.
Please contact me if you have any questions – I'd love to talk to you!


For 9th-grade H-B Woodlawn student Josie Walyus, the 2018 New Play Festival was the next step to a life-long dream. Josie's play, Three Cheers to Grace, was recently produced on High School Night of the 2018 New Play Festival to enthusiastic acclaim! Three Cheers to Grace follows car accident survivor Eliza and comatose best friend Grace. Eliza struggles to come to terms with the critical condition of her best friend, while Grace, although in a coma, struggles to have her voice heard as her friends grow and change around her.
"Three Cheers to Grace kind of came from different experiences I've had," explains Josie. "I like the idea of having a character not be limited to the story being told, but stepping outside of it." For Josie, that character was Grace. Through Josie's writing, the audience is able to see the story unfold from Grace's perspective, even if the character is in a physical coma. And the tension builds as friends Grace and Eliza try to connect with one another but just can't.
While Three Cheers to Grace isn't the first thing Josie has written, she says it is the first time she ever finished a play. The original play itself was a much longer version than what was produced on stage, but YPT loved it so much, that next season, it will produce the full version in a theatrical run.
Josie says that the YPT experience was "mind-blowing" and that it further encourages her to pursue playwriting professionally as she gets older.
