456 Questions
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.
What is wonder woman actress real name?
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.
What is wonder woman's favorite food?
Well..........
Gal Gadot likes to eat healthy things and drinks a lot of water to receive all those nutrients she needs.
How old was Lynda Carter on Wonder Woman?
Wonder Woman's age is indeterminate. Her movie is considered a coming of age story but it isn't determined how much time passed between her childhood and the events in the movie when she meet Steve Trevor & became Wonder Woman. She could be anywhere from 800 to a couple thousand years old.
When did wonder woman first come out?
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. Oddly, ciphers have only rarely figured in Wonder Woman plots and these are the bread and butter of deskbound G-2 types. Great Hera!
What happens when Wonder Woman gets lassoed in her lasso?
She could lose her memory and mental powers very fast if not unbound. In real life tight bonding can restrict the circulation of the blood, so it is based on fact.
What does wonder woman do for the world?
As she is an intelligence officer for the Us Army Intelligence ( known as G-2) she has, of necessity a variety of roles and assignments and is frequently shifted around- but they like to have her in the Washington area, which has many posts aside from the Pentagon. Wonder Woman as Wonder Woman again has a variety of roles- but she is not generally involved in rescue operations unless they come up accidentally- as in some freak accident or explosion.
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.
Who is the superhero Wonder Woman?
According to her character biography, Wonder Woman is Princess Diana of Themyscira a fictional island nation ruled by Amazon women. She is also a priestess of the Greek Goddess Aphrodite who has given her the special powers she has. Some of the other greek gods and goddesses have gifted her as well.
- Super Strength
- Great Speed
- Ability to Fly
- Great Wisdom & Courage
- Hunter's Heart & the Ability to Communicate w/ Animals
- Her Lasso of Truth commands anyone bound w/ it to tell the truth
- Indestructible Bracelets
- Magical Sword
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 .
Who is strong she hulk or wonder woman?
They are about the same, but She Hulk is a little stronger because she can lift 100 tons. Thing can only lift 85.
-They aren't around the same. What The Thing maxed out at, She-Hulk was able to lift with one hand in front of he and Reed Richards. She also defeated Hercules in arm wrestling twice. Hercules strength is anywhere north of 900 tons. She easily outclasses Thing.
How strong is martian manhunter compared to Superman Supergirl and wonderwoman?
As strong as Superman
He said so in Green Lantern 44
Martian Manhunter has always certainly been on par with Superman physically. However, he is not quite as strong as Superman. Although the Manhunter is more powerful overall, Superman is physically stronger.
How did wonder woman die in the comics?
Of course not. She is a fictional character and has many roots in Greek Mythology, moreso than any other super-hero type character. It might be argued Flash is derived from Mercury, but Wonder woman is a mythologists delight.

They have entirely different powers and traditions about use, etc. Wonder Woman"s cover was an Army Intelligence officer so she worked for the Feds. No other modern comic-book character had a federal cover-occupation. a native of Themyscira Island, the Amazon originally hailed from that Greek province. The neat thing about the G-2 assignment is that she was not tied down to one city, as was Superman ( Metropolis) or Batman ( Gotham city)- but of necessity had roving assignments. Hey, she"s a Lady...
