Wonder Woman is a DC Comics superhero. Created by William
Moulton Marston, she first appeared in All Star Comics
#8 (1941). She was one of the first female superheroes
and is still arguably the most famous. In most adaptations,
Wonder Woman is Princess Diana of the Amazon warrior tribe
of Greek mythology. The Amazon ambassador to the larger
world, she possesses several superhuman abilities and
gifts from the Greek Gods, including a magic lasso and
bulletproof bracelets. She is also a member of the all-star
Justice League. Marston designed Wonder Woman as a distinctly
feminist character and many subsequent writers, especially
those of the 1980s and afterwards, have written her as
such.
