Who is Wonder Woman's biggest enemy?
Ares; despite Cheetah being considered Wonder Woman's main antagonist, the god of war has consistently been fighting with Diana since the Golden Age of Comics. Generally considered to be a puppet master type of villain he sends other rouges of Wonder Woman to do his bidding such as Silver Swan and The Duke of Deception, plus his actual confrontations means he has probably been fighting Diana for the longest amount of time and the most amount of times. He also poses the largest threat to her, being the god of war, his powers are derived from all forms of warfare and fighting which often means that a heads on approach to him would often be ill-advised.

Who was wonder woman before she became a hero?
I am not sure of her origin, but her cover occupation has always been an intelligence officer of the Army G-2. In this role she wears specs and probably has a desk assignment such as cryptography ( code making and breaking) her knowledge of Greek would be useful in solving Russian ciphers, as many of us know ( Russian has some Greek Roots-via the Cyrillic alphabet).

Does wonder woman have siblings?
No, and she has never been married which would void her (warranty) as an Amazon. However, she is in a sense the foster Mother of the character Donna Troy who serves as Wonder Girl in the Teen Titans and has the same basic powers as Wonder Woman, this replaced the rather dubious plot device of Wonder Girl being Wonder Woman as a teen-ager- akin to Superboy which just didn"t work out right. Wonder Girl as Donna Troy ( sounds mixed Italian and Greek) a much more plausible gig.

Diana Prince, in the TV version she is a Lieutenant, JG ( two rank stripes) for the Us Navy Intelligence section- who also spawned ( Hssshhhh) Electra Powers. In the comic books she is an Army Intelligence officer- probably a cryptographer. It has been rumored the DOD ( Department of Defense- all service branches) have designed a badge for Cryptographers and interpreters- get this- a Winged ( for Airmen) Aladdin"s Lamp! considering the Middle East theater- quite appopriate.

A Call to arms- she first came out around l94l in Sensation Comics, later getting her own book. he is the only superheroine who is, in real life a Government agent, a desk officer in Intelligence.

What does wonder woman costume look like?
Amazon Princess- Dress Uniform with bracelets ( her power source) a Crown of platinum with a five-pointed Red Star ( Anastasia take note) and the basic costume resembles an acrobatic or athletic variant of an Empire Gown. Bad gal Emerald Empress from Adventure comics always wore a Green Empire Gown- Mr. Shooter got his imperial priorities right! Jim Shooter was the master-mind behind most Legion Comics.
How did wonder woman get her powers?
Invisible Girl is Sue Storm, of the Fantastic Four, she is the wife of Reed Richards or Mr. Fantastic, the other members of the team are Johnny Storm ( brother) the Human Torch, and Ben Grimm, the Thing. the foursome were on a space mission and were belted by cosmic radiation of some type, when the power came back, on they each had different super powers, Hers is invisibiliry, her brother, Fire production, Mr. Fantastic is the stretch-man, and the Thing, well as he used to say it"s Clobbering Time! the muscle-bound enforcer type, unlike the other three, Mr. Grimm cannot change back to a normal human identity- unless things have changed. Having a famioly background- the Fantastic Four are among tbe more human characters from Marvel comics- Wonder Woman is from DC. Nice question, though.
Queen Hippolyta, which means the (Horse-Like) or Horsey woman. Hippo in Greek means Horse, not the Hippopotamus- which is the River Horse, the original Hippodrome was a race track. There have been periodic death and revival stories about Queen Hippolyta in Wonder Woman some very close calls , but like Anastasia, she always bounces back! She has been drawn as both a Blonde and a Brunette.

What is wonder woman's height?
She weighs about as much, unrealistically, as a 6'0" woman who is extremely athletic and very powerful: 64 kgs(140 lbs).
TBH, I suspect that there's some fanboy wish fulfillment going on here, and that she's been given measurements which are disproportionate to her abilities and to reality(at least as far a comic book can go anyways, lol).
A woman of any average size with an athletic frame is going to weigh quite a bit more than this, with 6'+ women in the WNBA hovering around 170lbs...and even then, those ladies look rather skinny compared to the full-figured and powerful Wonder Woman, lol.
On top of this, I would expect that because she is created from clay by the Olympian gods that she would also bear some additional extra mystical weight which would allow for her super-strength, durability, etc.
Of course, it could be exactly that extra mystical aspect which accounts for her super-abilities...such as making her heavier and more dense under certain scenarios, such as during combat, etc. and more like normal weight when she's under more civil conditions(so as not to crush buildings or supporting structures, etc), she *can* fly, after all.
Just eyeballing it, I would more realistically put Wonder Woman's weight at somewhere about 175-225 lbs *at least*, if not WAY more...like in the multiple hundreds if we're talking about mystical Olympian clay-flesh that is "as strong as the earth"(and for those of you screaming that this would make her the same weight as Superman, just keep in mind that I have the same preconceptions about him as well).
Does Wonder Woman have a sidekick?
Not in the usual sense, sometimes she is assigned the role of breaking-In or escorting newly-qualified Amazon Agents, such as the Tragic Orana who died in action ( Orana was a pretty redhead). Stop and think Joan of Arc didn"t have a sort of squiresse, either.
No she does not she is independent
What obstacles did Phillis Wheatly have to overcome?
Maybe because she was a slave and the fact that she was black.
Did Wonder Woman get with Superman?
No. Wonder Woman is an Amazon and Amazons are forbidden to marry. She has never been a love interest for the Man of Steel. While a member of the Justice League ( but not in the TV cartoons version- all characters were male) she is not a love interest for Clark Kent.Superman has two main lady friends, Lois Lane and Lana Lang, He knew Lana Lang from his youth in Smallville. Her father was an archaeologist cum anthropologist, the type who would explore and dig up , say Dinosaur fossils. Lana had red hair and MIGHT have been in part based on the actress Arlene Dahl, who is NOT related to the Admiral of Blimp and Palisades Park fame- Admiral Rosenthal, USN.
In a few Elseworld books, imaginary what-if stories, they marry. Those one's are JLA: Act of God, Kingdom Come, and Superman: Distant Fires. In Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Strikes Again, they have a super powerful daughter. In the main DC Continuity there actually have been teases about a relationship between the two. One of the earliest being DC Comics Presents #32 where Cupid makes them fall in love. After Crisis on Infinite Earths where the whole DC Universe was rebooted where Clark and Lois weren't an item yet, when Superman and Wonder Woman first meet, there is an attraction there and they go on a date that is interrupted by Darkseid, but not before Superman plants a huge kiss on her. Nothing happens between them after that but there are still little tidbits like Superman saying a relationship with Wonder Woman wasn't due to his lack of trying or Wonder Woman having fantasies of being with Superman (Wonder Woman #141). Aside from that they consider each other best friends.
Themyscira or Paradise Island, one of the (mythical) Greek Isles. this is somewhat odd as she is a commissioned officer in the US Army Intelligence. I believe a naturalized citizen, if qualified ( OCS, that sort of thing) Can become a Federal Officer, but this is somewhat unusual.
Wonder Woman is an Amazonian warrior from Paradise Island .
