| − | {{Quote|I am Diana of [[Themyscira]], daughter of [[Hippolyta]]. In the name of all that is good, [[Ares|your]] wrath upon this world is over!|Diana Prince|Wonder Woman (film)}} |
||
| − | Princess '''Diana''' is an [[Amazon]]ian warrior princess and one of the world's first superheroes, known as '''Wonder Woman'''. She is the daughter of Queen [[Hippolyta]] and [[Zeus]], king of the [[Olympians]]. Born on [[Themyscira]], Diana was raised in paradise, hearing tales of her sisters' great task of defeating the God of War, [[Ares]], and bringing peace to the world, ushering in a new era of peace to the world. Upon coming of age, Diana began pursuing the life of a warrior, despite her mother's rejections. Determined to serve, she ultimately enticed her aunt [[Antiope]] to train her in secret, but was soon discovered by her mother, Queen [[Hippolyta]]. Begrudgingly, the queen accepted Diana as a warrior, and ordered Antiope to train her better than any other Amazon. |
||
| − | |||
| − | After a training session, Diana happened to come across Captain [[Steven Trevor|Steve Trevor]] during his escape from the Imperial German Army. A battle soon followed, as the Germans tracked Trevor to Themyscira, where they invaded in pursuit of [[Doctor Poison]]'s notes. The loss of her aunt and realization of Mankind's downfall during the absence of the amazons convinced Diana to join the war effort, recognizing Ares as the instigator of the conflict. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In the following days, Diana soon uncovered Ares, who exposed her to be the '''God Killer''', having been originally conceived to be the ultimate weapon against her brother. Following this revelation, a fierce battle ensued, where Diana fulfilled her purpose in freeing Mankind from Ares' influence. However, the loss of Steve in [[World War I]] had left Diana sobered but ultimately chose to protect humanity when ever she was needed but in a cautious and distant way. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In modern times, Diana operates as the curator of the [[Louvre Museum]] as '''Diana Prince'''. Two years following the [[Battle of Metropolis]], Diana came into conflict with [[Lex Luthor]], who somehow came across a photograph of Diana and the [[Wonder Men]] during his search for [[metahumans]]. During her pursuit of Luthor, Diana crossed paths with [[Bruce Wayne]], who discovered her secret after their confrontation, during his search for the ''White Portuguese''. Later, along with the photograph on Luthor's files Bruce sent her, Diana discovered the evidence of [[metahumans]] in the world. With her mission fulfilled, Diana prepared to depart back to [[London]], but the emergence of the monstrous [[Doomsday]] led Diana to ally herself with [[Superman]] and [[Batman]] to take down the monster in a [[Battle in Gotham|fierce battle]] that ended with the tragic death of Superman. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Afterwards, in the wake of Clark's funeral, Diana and Bruce decided to create a [[Justice League|team]] to battle any future threats to the world. As the world mourned for the Man of Steel, Diana combatted the rise of radicals who saw Superman's death as an omen and capitalized on the world's vulnerability. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Shortly after the team assembled, Wonder Woman assisted in helping a newly resurrected [[Superman]] regain his memories. With the team now fully assembled, Wonder Woman contributed to the successful offensive against [[Steppenwolf]], forcing the alien invasion into retreat. Afterwards, She further planned for the Justice League's future alongside Bruce Wayne. |

==Biography== |
==Biography== |
||
| + | Edwards was recruited by [[ARGUS]] to help Task Force X along with 2 units of Navy SEALs codenamed Bravo and Alpha. GQ was the leader of the SEALs as he was a Lieutenant but was under the command of Rick Flag. He saw the team for the first time and was dismayed as he thought the SEALs were more than enough to take out Enchantress. |
||
| − | ===Early life=== |
||
| − | ====Childhood==== |
||
| − | [[File:Young Diana staring at the god killer sword.jpg|thumb|220px|Diana (8 years) staring at the sword]] |
||
| − | Diana was born circa 1216 on the island of [[Themyscira]] to [[Hippolyta]], the Queen of the [[Amazon]]s, mere months after the [[War of the Gods]]. As the only child on the entire island, it was harder for her to enjoy more childlike activities. To which, she soon took an active interest in the Amazon's combat training, even with her mother's stern refusal of it. Despite this, her aunt [[Antiope]], knowing the true nature of Diana's background and caring so deeply for her well-being, began training the young princess herself in secret. |
||
| + | He went to [[Midway City]], Michigan along Task Force X to battle [[Enchantress]] and [[Incubus]]. It was covered as a terrorist attack though. The helicopter they were on crashed but everyone survived. He and the rest of the Navy SEALs were almost overpowered by their minions but the [[Eyes of the Adversary]] were fought off by them and Task Force X. Edwards started to question Flag after one of the minions they killed was a civilian but quickly backed down when asked if he would believe him. Bravo was captured and turned into minions, leaving only the remaining members of Alpha. |
||
| − | ====Training==== |
||
| − | [[File:Young Diana training with a sword.jpg|thumb|left|220x220px|Diana (12 years) training with her aunt Antiope.]] |
||
| − | Eventually, this deceit was discovered by Hippolyta. While initially very angered at Antiope defying her decision, the General was able to reason with her queen, making her accept the potential danger that would come some day. Thus, Diana soon began extensive training the all the various arts of the Amazons, with the goal given by her mother to become the greatest of her people, surpassing Antiope herself - the Amazons' fiercest warrior. |
||
| + | They made it to the extraction zone to escort Amanda Waller into a helicopter but it was hijacked by the Joker with the help of his goons .Joker and his goons managed to kill all but 4 of the SEALs. They made a plan to take out Incubus by driving him into a corner and blow him up with a demo charge Enchantress had abandoned earlier in a flooded subway station. The SEALs put on scuba gear and Edwards went underwater and was accompanied by the 3 SEALs and [[Killer Croc]]. |
||
| − | During one of her most severe training sessions, Antiope fought Diana with all her might, without mercy. As Diana began to be pressured, she instinctively blocked the assault, resulting in her unleashing a powerful shockwave, knocking back Antiope and leaving all spectating Amazons there, including Diana herself, in complete shock. |
||
| + | They were ambushed by some of Enchantress' minions but were held off by the SEALs and Croc . Meanwhile [[El Diablo]] fought off Incubus in his flaming avatar form and drove him into the corner. The SEALS were killed pretty easily by the minions but Croc kept on going. GQ managed to get the charge and swam away. Edwards set the charge and Rick Flag contacted him to blow it and he did. Incubus was killed and El Diablo died too. Given Edwards' proximity to the explosive charge he died a hero. |
||
| − | ===World War I=== |
||
| − | ====Meeting Steve Trevor==== |
||
| − | [[File:Steve Trevor and Diana on the beach.jpg|thumb|250px|Diana rescues and meets Steve Trevor for the first time.]] |
||
| − | {{Quote|You're a man."<br>"Yeah... Do I not look like one?|Diana and [[Steven Trevor|Steve Trevor]]|Wonder Woman (film)}} |
||
| − | A shocked Diana wandered off to the Themysciran seashore, when she unexpectedly witnessed an airplane soaring through the sky out of nowhere, before crashing in the nearby bay outside of Themyscira, close to the cliff where she stood. She leaped down the ocean and rescued the pilot, only to discover a [[human]] soldier named [[Steven Trevor|Steve Trevor]] lying unconsciously on the [[Themyscira|Themysciran]] beach. She approached him as he came to, asking him if he was a man, due to Diana having never come across a male before in her life. Though somewhat confused, Steve affirmed that he was, rhetorically asking whether or not he looked like one. |
||
| + | ==Abilities== |
||
| − | Diana saw the German Army following Steve to Themiscyra. Steve told her that he was a good guy and the Germans were the bad guys. The two hid away and watched as the Amazon army fought the Germans. Witnessing some of her fellow Amazons die, Diana and Steve took part in the battle. Diana took a sword and quickly slew a number of German soldiers. A German fired at her but [[Antiope]] saw it and blocked the bullet with her body to save Diana. Before passing away, Antiope urged Diana to use the [[god killer]] and defeat [[Ares]]. |
||
| + | <tabber>Abilities= |
||
| − | [[File:Diana before stealing the armor.jpg|left|thumb|251x251px|Diana before stealing the Amazon battle armor.]] |
||
| + | *'''Peak human condition:''' Edwards, as a US Navy SEAL, is in top physical condition (from frequent intense training and extensive experience in the field), with greatly heightened levels of strength, speed, stamina, reflexes, agility, and durability, though not quite on pair with [[Deadshot]] and [[Captain Boomerang]] and not even near to [[Batman]]'s level. However, when pitted against Enchantress' monstrous troops, he and the other SEALs were almost defeated. |
||
| − | After hearing Steve talked about the war, Diana thought that Ares stood behind this and stopping Ares was the Amazons' duty. She asked [[Hippolyta]] to allow her to go with Steve to the war and face the mad god, but her mother briskly refused, much to Diana's anger and confusion. That night, Diana stole an [[Wonder Woman's shield|Amazon shield]], along with the [[Lasso of Hestia]] and the god killer. She then escaped with Steve but was intercepted and sent off by her mother, who understood her daughter too well to think she'd listen to her orders. |
||
| + | *'''Expert marksman:''' Edwards is a highly skilled marksmen, landing several shots on some of Enchantress's [[Eyes of the Adversary]], though he is far surpassed in accuracy and precision by Deadshot. |
||
| − | |||
| + | *'''Expert swimmer:''' Edwards, due to being a Navy SEAL, is a highly skilled swimmer, thus was able to plant a bomb under [[Incubus]]. |
||
| − | Before leaving Themyscira, Hippolyta gave Diana Antiope's tiara and told her to be careful. Hippolyta relented, mournfully telling Diana that the world of Man did not deserve someone as innocent as herself. |
||
| + | *'''Skilled leader:''' Edwards, as a Navy Seal Lieutenant, is a very skilled leader (at least on pair with Deadshot). Hence, he helped [[Rick Flag]] lead 2 units of Navy SEALs codenamed Bravo and Alpha alongside Task Force X, in the mission in Midway City. Later on he (under Flag's orders) led 3 remaining SEALs and [[Killer Croc]] to plant a bomb under Incubus. |

| − | {{Quote|The war to end all wars!|[[Steven Trevor|Steve Trevor]] about WWI|Wonder Woman (film)}} |
||
| − | At some point, Diana arrived at the [[United Kingdom]], determined to help the Allied Powers win [[World War I]]. There she would befriend Trevor's secretary, [[Etta Candy]]. Steve, Diana, and Etta go to buy some clothes so that Diana will look less 'distracting'. Along the way, they were confronted by German spies that try to retrieve [[Doctor Poison|Dr. Poison]]'s book that Steve had previously stolen. As the spies drew the weapons, Diana reacted quickly, blocking a bullet that was meant for Steve, subsequently fighting off the spies' barrage of gunfire in the cramped alleyway, determined to get answers from one of them on where she can find Ares. However, one of the spies she managed to capture kills himself by swallowing a cyanide pill. |

| − | [[File:Diana meet's Steve Trevor's superiors.jpg|thumb|251x251px|Diana meets Steve Trevor's superiors.|left]] |
||
| − | Diana goes with Steve to hand the book to his superiors, where she gets introduced to [[Ares|Sir Patrick Morgan]] in the process. Shortly thereafter, she overheard a conversation that Steve was having with one of the superiors where he downgraded the soldiers' lives as being less valuable than his own, infuriating Diana to the point she berated the man, calling him out as a coward. |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[File:Diana stops the gunman.jpg|thumb|250px|Diana stops the gunman.]] |
||
| − | Diana and Steve decide to go the front to fight the Germans and stop Ares whilst they go to a [[Hangman's Arms|local tavern]] to recruit 2 of Steve's friends - [[Sameer]] and [[Charlie]]. She saves the life of Charlie when he is held at gunpoint by a guy that beat him up earlier in the same bar by hurling him away from them, they travel to Belgium where Diana tastes ice cream for the first time enjoying it, Diana sees the effects soldiers suffered from fighting in the war they set camp with another friend of Steve's known as "[[Chief]]". |

| − | ====The Wonder Men==== |
||
| − | [[File:Diana charging through No Man's Land.jpg|thumb|250px|Diana on No Man's Land.|left]] |
||
| − | The following day, they go to No Man's Land where Diana sees that the people living in the villages were suffering as well. After this, she decides to go into No Man's Land, changing into her armor and blocking the bullets with her bracelets and her shield with the assist of the [[Wonder Men]], led by Steve Trevor. |
||
| − | |||
| − | She fights off against a group of German soldiers in a warehouse meeting the rest of Steve Trevor's team fighting off more Germans that were invading saving the village. The citizens of that town see Diana as a hero. In honor of Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor's team's bravery, a photograph was taken of her with Steve Trevor's team. |
||
| − | |||
| − | She then sees Steve on the phone with [[Ares|Sir Patrick Morgan]], and suddenly decides that General Ludendorff is really Ares, later on Steve and Diana are seen dancing where they finally accept they have feelings for each other and they kiss, after which they proceed to spend the night together. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ====Infiltrating Ludendorff's gala==== |
||
| − | [[File:Diana during Ludendorff's gala.jpg|thumb|250px|Diana during Ludendorff's gala.]] |
||
| − | The next day they decide to infiltrate Ludendorff's gala to learn more about the weapon he and Dr. Poison are creating and how to stop it. To enter the gala, Diana stole a dress from a guest where she dances with Ludendorff's prepared to kill him but her attempt is intervened by Steve. She hears Ludendorff release some of the gas where it kills citizens from that town. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Feeling devastated, Diana was distressed by this event blames Steve for interfering with her assassination attempt on Ludendorff thinking the people could have been saved with him already being dead and realizes that Ares has corrupted everyone |

||
| − | Receiving a signal from [[Chief]], she infiltrates Ludendorff's base. She and [[Erich Ludendorff|General Ludendorff]] fight each other where Diana kills him. Thinking that killing Ludendorff would solve the problem, she gets confused when she sees the German soldiers loading the weapons onto the planes thinking that humankind is corrupted and it doesn't deserve her help. |

||
| − | |||
| − | Diana sees [[Ares|Sir Patrick Morgan]] in the base, who reveals himself to be the true [[Ares]], and tells her of his plan for a world without [[human]]ity by having them destroy each other. Ares proposes that Diana help him accomplish his vision of paradise but Diana promptly refuses, not wanting to kill billions of innocents. Ares then reluctantly engages her in an epic battle while Steve and his comrades attempt to dismantle the plane harboring the mustard gas. |
||
| − | |||
| − | During the fight, Steve approaches Diana who can't hear him speak due to an explosion temporarily rupturing her eardrums. Steve, after much talking, departs and leaves Diana with his watch before boarding the plane which is taking off with the mustard gas. Ares eventually restrains Diana, imploring her to surrender and realize the futility of their fight. Diana notices the plane in the sky as she's pinned to the ground and watches in horror as it explodes with Steve sacrificing himself to save billions of lives. |
||
| − | [[File:Wonder Woman vs Ares.jpg|thumb|250x250px|An enraged Diana unleashing her true power.]] |
||
| − | Enraged, Diana breaks free and begins attacking the remaining German troops at the compound. Ares attempts to manipulate the distraught warrior by presenting her with Dr. Poison, saying she should kill her as she fittingly represents the worst of humanity and the evil it can possess as he predicted to Zeus and the other Old Gods. |
||
| − | [[File:Diana absorbing Ares' lightning.jpg|thumb|250px|Diana absorbs Ares' lightning.|left]] |
||
| − | Diana lifts a tank ready to crush Dr. Poison with it but hesitates when she thinks about the love and compassion that Steve brought to her life when she realizes that he professed his love for her before leaving to die. Dropping the tank, Diana spares Dr. Poison. Ares questions her decision. She tells him that while humans can be capable of the worst crimes, she's learned that they are equally capable of so much more: unbridled love and compassion. Ares engages Diana in a final fight but is defeated after she fully embraces her powers as the god killer and blasts Ares with powerful divine lightning. The soldiers, free from Ares' corruption, stop their fighting, thereby finally ending the war. |

| − | === Aftermath of the War === |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==== Returning to London ==== |
||
| − | Returning to London where the people are celebrating the end of the war, Diana notices a memorial with pictures of deceased soldiers who fought in the war with Steve being among them. Diana lovingly strokes Steve's picture before closing her eyes to take in the world being at peace once again. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==== A Century of Horrors ==== |
||
| − | 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 [[Doctor Poison|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." As such, Diana resolved to mostly abandon superheroism for 100 years. |
||
| − | |||
| − | At some point before this century, Diana replaces her destroyed sword with the [[Sword of Athena]], slays more sinister "beings from other worlds", moves to [[France]], and became a professional antiquities dealer, with the [[Louvre Museum]] at some point employing her as the Curator for the Department of Antiquities.<ref name="JLUPodcast">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0w54VkC1s1g Analysis of WONDER WOMAN - Scene 1 Louvre - Justice League Universe Podcast]</ref> |

| − | ==== Encounter with Slipknot ==== |
||
| − | In 2002. Diana fought killer and thief [[Slipknot]], whom she effortlessly defeated and left to be apprehended by the [[FBI]]. Diana got involved because she took personal issue against Slipknot's known cruelty towards women, and therefore wanted him brought to justice.<ref name="SlipknotWonderWoman">[http://movieweb.com/suicide-squad-movie-slipknot-wonder-woman-connection/ Slipknot & Wonder Woman's Shocking Pre-Suicide Squad History Revealed]</ref> |

||
| − | [[File:Photo of Diana in Paris.png|thumb|250px|Diana in Paris.]] |
||
| − | 13 years after [[Slipknot]]'s imprisonment, after examining the photo of Wonder Woman and the [[Wonder Men]] taken in 1918 Belgium, [[Lex Luthor]] uses facial recognition software to deduce that the great Amazon warrior is in fact still alive, under the alias of "Diana Prince," working at the [[Louvre Museum]], and he obtains footage of Diana in Paris, [[France]], which has her exiting a taxi and entering a shop, in civilian clothing. |

||
| − | [[File:Diana at Lex Luthor's fundraiser.jpg|thumb|250px|Diana, listening to Luthor's speech.|left]] |
||
| − | Diana eventually became aware that [[Lex Luthor]] had in his possession the photograph of her and the [[Wonder Men]], the only picture of her together with her deceased beloved. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Hence, in an effort to finally reclaim it and Steve's memory, Diana flew from [[France]] to the [[United States of America|United States]], and managed to get invited to a charity function hosted by [[Lex Luthor]] at his villa, an event which is also attended by [[Gotham City]] billionaire [[Batman|Bruce Wayne]] and illustrious [[Daily Planet]] reporter [[Superman|Clark Kent]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[File:Diana leaves Lex Luthor's fundraiser.jpg|thumb|250px|Diana departs, with Bruce's device.]] |
||
| − | During his greeting speech, Lex made a reference to how [[Zeus]] cruelly punished the Titan Prometheus for enlightening humankind, much to the visible dismay of Diana. Shortly thereafter, she covertly stole a hacking device of [[Batman|Bruce Wayne]]'s, who is likewise investigating Lex Luthor. She exited the party with Bruce pursuing her, but manages to make it to her car and drive off just in time for Bruce to see her depart. |

||
| − | 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 Diana stood admiring the replica, [[Batman|Bruce Wayne]] appeared. He proceeds to angrily confront her by grabbing Diana's arm and asking her about the information device that she had stolen. Bruce claims to see right through her "babe in the woods" act, saying that while Diana doesn't know him, he's met "a few women like [her]". Diana, however, calmly smiles and retorts that Bruce has never met any women like her. She then proceeds to tell Bruce that she was unable to obtain anything from Bruce's device, due to [[Lex Luthor]]'s data having military-grade encryption. Diana explains her intention to re-obtain her photograph from Luthor, stating that she only borrowed Bruce's device, and has already returned it to him shortly beforehand (placing it into the glove compartment of his car), before calmly excusing herself and leaving. |

Where have you been?|[[Batman|Bruce]]'s email to Diana|Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice}}Still puzzled as to Diana's identity, Bruce discovers more about her amongst the data he stole from [[Lex Luthor]]. He sees a photograph of her alongside the [[Wonder Men]], taken in Belgium in 1918 during the closing days of [[World War I]]. He then makes contact with her via her laptop, sharing extra information that Luthor had on both her and other [[metahuman]]s, such as the [[Flash]], [[Aquaman]], and [[Cyborg]]. Diana is visibly intrigued and shocked at this revelation, as Flash's lightning reminds her of that of [[Ares]], Aquaman reminds her of depictions of [[Poseidon]], while the [[Mother Box]] that created Cyborg reminds her of the one she briefly saw back on [[Themyscira]]. Diana resolves to take some time to think this revelation over, does not answer Bruce's e-mail, and instead proceeds with her plans to depart [[Metropolis]] on a flight back to [[France]], through [[Turkey]]. |

||
| − | When news broke of [[Doomsday]]'s attack on [[Metropolis]], Diana was boarding an airplane bound for Turkey. Seeing what was happening, she left the flight before takeoff. Diana dons her Wonder Woman armor and weapons, heading for [[Gotham City]] to help [[Batman]] and [[Superman]] in their battle against this incredibly powerful monstrous opponent. |

||
| − | As Wonder Woman joins the [[Battle against Doomsday]], she arrives just in time to save [[Batman]] from [[Doomsday]]'s lethal thermal blast, deflecting the beams with her indestructible [[Bracelets of Submission|bracelets]]. She then jointly attacks Doomsday with [[Superman]] while [[Batman]] tries to expose the creature to [[Kryptonite]], allowing its destruction. She relentlessly battles the monster, and despite Doomsday being stronger, Wonder Woman held her own, parrying a tremendous punch with the [[Sword of Athena]], and then slicing off Doomsday's right arm with it. Eventually, Batman baits the monster into coming closer to her, allowing Wonder Woman to hurl the noose of her unbreakable [[Lasso of Hestia]] around his torso. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Superman then promptly flew back, wielding the [[Kryptonite spear]], and managed to impale the monster's chest. The mortally wounded Doomsday bellowed in agony, releasing immense amounts of electricity from his body, which made Wonder Woman momentary lose her footing, loosening the lasso's hold and allowing the monster to mortally stab Superman. |
||

Lois proceeds to cradle and weep over her fallen beloved, as Wonder Woman and Batman stand next to her in respectful lamenting silence. Wonder Woman equally saddened at his death, due to now not having the chance to get to know Superman. |

| − | Diana attends [[Superman|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 [[Justice League|together]] the three other [[metahuman]]s ([[Flash]], [[Aquaman]], and [[Cyborg]]), 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 [[Flash|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. |

Diana also captures art thieves at a museum who are lassoed and she is greeted by kids. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Personality== |
||
| − | Diana is a very kind, loving, compassionate, and benevolent person, who, while initially somewhat naive, is an outspoken egalitarian<ref name="Wonder Woman: Exclusive First look by the CW">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9Ur4De7yT8 Wonder Woman: Exclusive First look by the CW]</ref>, evidenced by her asking her mother [[Hippolyta]] with incredulous outrage why she and the other Amazons have chosen to abandon humankind, despite being initially created by [[Zeus]] to spread love and mutual understanding among humanity, as well as protect it from [[Ares]]. Growing up, Diana also proves herself headstrong and determined, enthusiastically wishing to learn armed and hand-to-hand combat under her aunt [[Antiope]]'s tutelage, despite her mother initially forbidding it. Diana becomes more determined than ever to leave Themyscira and help save "[[Earth|Man's World]]" after her aunt Antiope sacrifices herself to save Diana's life and tells Diana with her final breath that the time has finally come. Indeed, Diana became so determined to leave [[Themyscira]] after that, that even Hippolyta (albeit begrudgingly) finally agreed to let her leave. Diana is also a very naive idealist when first arriving in "Man's World", for instance believing the story that she had been sculpted from clay, and that the [[World War I|World War I Central Powers]] would simply abandon their sinister ways if she kills [[Ares]]. In addition, Diana also voiced her opinions rather bluntly and rashly back then, perceiving [[Etta Candy]]'s job as [[Steve Trevor]]'s secretary to be akin to slavery (which earns Diana Etta's admiration). |
||
| − | |||
| − | Due to still not understanding her powers (which came from Diana believing her mother [[Hippolyta]]'s lie about Diana having been sculpted from clay and brought to life by [[Zeus]]), however, Diana subconsciously suppressed them, and while still incredibly powerful, this mental block considerably limited Diana relative to her full potential (to the point that enhanced metahuman [[Erich Ludendorff|General Ludendorff]] was able to initially keep up with her in a fight), and prohibited her from mastering the powers of amokinesis and divine electrokinesis. However, once Diana finally learned of her [[Olympian God|Old God]] heritage from [[Ares]] and embraced who she is as the demigoddess god killer daughter of Zeus, Diana finally permanently overcame this weakness and gained her full potential, becoming not only much more powerful than ever before but also finally unlocking her powers of amokinesis and divine electrokinesis (which allowed her to overpower [[Ares]]), in addition to becoming more optimistic and confident as the god killer. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Diana begins to lose faith in both humanity and herself when killing [[Erich Ludendorff|General Ludendorff]] (whom she assumed to be Ares) didn't end the war, and when finally confronted by the actual [[Ares]], her eyes are truly opened to humanity's inherent potential for evil, and while she clings on to her love and compassion for humanity in order to defeat the God of War, Diana is still left sobered, emotionally broken, psychologically scarred, and devastated over not having been able to save the Belgian village from [[Doctor Poison|Dr. Poison]], as well as over her beloved [[Steve Trevor]]'s self-sacrificing death, and not believing that other humans are capable of the same level of selflessness, after witnessing the ensuing "century of horrors" (World War II, Cold War proxy wars, Fascism, Communism, nuclear weapons' deployment, revolutions, geopolitical brinkmanship, racism, homophobia, genocides, war crimes, propaganda, and etc.). Indeed, Diana would later claim that after her experiences in "[[Earth|Man's World]]", she "would never be the same" ever again. As such, Diana resolves to mostly abandon superheroism and does so for 100 years following [[World War I]]. However, she was ultimately unable to bear standing idly by while the seemingly unstoppable juggernaut [[Doomsday]] wrecked havoc, and ultimately joined the battle with the monster, saving [[Batman]] in the process. After witnessing the self-sacrificing death of [[Superman]] in that battle, Diana is astounded to have finally, after 100 years, met a person who had both the phenomenal godly might of [[Ares]], and the self-sacrificing morality of [[Steve Trevor]], and therefore while very saddened by Superman's death, it induced her to slowly begin regaining hope in humanity and superheroism, recalling Steve Trevor's immense belief in her. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Due to her benevolent and loving nature, Diana is also exceptionally considerate, diplomatic, and empathetic, with her diplomatically accepting a false antiquities claim (about a replica of Alexander the Great's sword) and a glass of wine from the curator of the [[Gotham City Museum of Antiquities]], giving [[Lois Lane]] a sad glance of silent empathy after the latter's beloved [[Superman]] had been killed (recalling her own pain during [[Steve Trevor]]'s death), smiling when [[Aquaman]] accidentally confessed his secret crush on her, and notably treating both [[Charlie]] and the [[Flash]] with compassion, despite the former's initial skepticism about her and poor self-esteem, and the latter's tendency to somewhat annoy her and the other [[Justice League]]rs with his humorous attitude<ref name="TheFlashPlaysAnnoyingComicRelief">[https://www.inverse.com/article/25471-the-flash-barry-allen-comedy-relief-justice-league-movie The Flash Plays "Annoying" Comic Relief in 'Justice League']</ref>. Diana only ever displayed signs of anger when someone blatantly disrespected something very dear to her - notably when she shot an angry gaze at [[Lex Luthor]] (after he'd insulted her father [[Zeus]]'s memory), and when she shoved back [[Batman]] (after he'd insulted her beloved [[Steve Trevor]]'s memory). Indeed, Wonder Woman's compassion and unbreakable spirit gave a renewed hope to the [[Wonder Men]], energizing them past the point of purely monetary interests, with [[Chief]] resolving to no longer be neutral in the war and believing her story of the [[Olympian God|Old Gods]], [[Sameer]] finally admitting his passion for acting, and even the depressed [[Charlie]] struggling with PTSD finally beginning to sing again for the first time in years. Likewise, during the [[Justice League]]'s battle against [[Steppenwolf]]'s forces, Wonder Woman was able to inspire confidence in the inexperienced [[Flash]] and [[Cyborg]], assuring them that they wouldn't need to fight the [[Apokolips|Apokoliptan]] invasion alone. When humanity's inherent potential for evil is revealed to her by [[Ares]], Wonder Woman, while initially taken aback, ultimately rejects the prospect of alliance with Ares against them, even if that were to mean missing out on "paradise" on [[Earth]], and instead courageously confronts him, as the god killer. |
||
| − | |||
| − | When someone she cares about is hurt, Wonder Woman becomes far more relentless and ruthless in battle. When seemingly beaten by [[Ares]] (who was only growing more powerful from her violence, rage, and hatred) and having to watch her beloved [[Steve Trevor]] die, this made her go into an agonizing rage, as she assaulted and brutalized several armed German soldiers with immense speed and ferocity. She even came close to murdering [[Doctor Poison|Dr. Poison]] as vengeance for Steve's death, all under Ares's influence. But recalling Steve's great love for an undying belief in her, made Diana realize that she too loved him and was thereby able to muster up enough willpower, restraint, compassion, and love to overcome her violent emotions and tendencies, thus was able to swiftly overpower an angered Ares. |
||
| − | |||
| − | After living in "[[Earth|Man's World]]" for a century following [[World War I]], Diana gradually became far wiser, more experienced, and very sophisticated, no longer having issues blending in with [[human]] high class society, with her tremendously long immortal life allowing Diana to accumulate an immense amount of knowledge on antiques (though seemingly specializing in ancient Greco-Roman ones, as daughter of [[Zeus]]), to the point that she works as |
||
| − | Curator for the Department of Antiquities<ref name="JLUPodcast"/> at the extremely prestigious [[Louvre Museum]] and is held in very high esteem by the curator of the [[Gotham City Museum of Antiquities]]. This, in addition to her exceptional perceptiveness, makes Diana the wisest and most emotionally intelligent member of the [[Justice League]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In addition, Diana greatly respects other noble selfless warriors, as she attended [[Superman]]'s funeral in [[Smallville]] and spoke of how he had been much more than a soldier (adding to what [[Batman]] said about [[Metropolis]] burying an empty casket), despite not getting to know Superman personally, since she saw much of [[Steve Trevor]] in him. As a result of her great posthumous respect, she was, therefore, more than willing to aid Batman in honoring the heroic death of Superman, by helping round up the [[metahuman]]s from [[Lex Luthor]]'s files into a team of superheroes (later known as the [[Justice League]]) to protect the world from the imminent mysterious alien invader [[Steppenwolf]] and his [[Parademon]] minions, after Superman's death left the world vulnerable. Due to this respect for him, she was opposed to the idea of resurrecting him despite wishing he were still alive but eventually decided to be by his side after an argument with Batman (whom she was still angry with). In addition, she was the most optimistic when she saw him alive and the most understanding when she recognized his lack of memory. When he acted hostile because of his amnesia, she was extremely ambivalent about fighting him and even implored him not to force her to, showing him compassion and persistence while attempting to get him to remember who he is (even calling him by his birth name). When Lois arrives at the battle's end to calm Superman down and take him away, Diana is slightly relieved but was visibly the most disappointed by his departure. Once Superman recovers and arrives to fight alongside her and the others, however, she and he quickly strike up a close friendship, with Diana smiling and agreeing about him not missing out on the positive results of their victory over Steppenwolf. |
||
| − | |||
| − | While benevolent, Diana is also a fierce warrior, and ruthless when facing her mortal enemies in battle as Wonder Woman. Her love of the challenge of battle caused Diana to smile and briefly laugh when she was beaten to the ground by [[Doomsday]], as she was intrigued by his phenomenal strength, having not come across an opponent of such power since [[Ares]], causing her to briefly smile at the challenge to defeat him. Diana was also annoyed by Doomsday, however, after first being attacked by him, causing her to eagerly hit the monster back, harder than before. Diana did, however, take the fight seriously, and performed to the best of her ability to stop the threat the monstrous juggernaut posed, notably restraining Doomsday while [[Batman]] weakened him with a [[Kryptonite]] gas grenade, and [[Superman]] delivered the killing blow. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In addition, Diana appears to hold her father [[Zeus]] in very high esteem, as she was visibly angered when [[Lex Luthor]] referred to him distastefully while discussing the story of the Titan Prometheus. |
||

| − | ==Powers and Abilities== |
||
| − | ===Powers=== |
||
| − | '''Olympian Goddess-Amazon Hybrid Physiology''': As daughter of the king of the [[Olympians|Olympians Gods]], [[Zeus]] and the Queen of [[Amazons]], [[Hippolyta]], Wonder Woman possesses incredible supernatural powers and superhuman attributes that surpass many other powerful beings, with only her father, her [[Ares|older brother]] and [[Superman]] being known to surpass her in power. As the warrior princess of [[Themyscira]], Wonder Woman trained in the arts of battle, which she has practiced for centuries. He is recognized as relying solely on his superior fighting ability, strength and near invulnerability. Wonder Woman generally retains its divine power unless it fights against someone with the same strength and durability, due to the destruction that its force can cause to its environment. |
||
| − | *'''Superhuman Strength''': Wonder Woman, as a demigod, has an incredible superhuman strength, although not nearly at the same level as [[Ares]], [[Superman]] or [[Doomsday]]. Therefore, even before reaching her maximum potential, Wonder Woman defeated many amazons during her training, knocking down one with a bow and the other with her shield. She was also able to eventually overtake [[Antiope]] and with a kick, disarm her of her sword. During a fight in a bar, Wonder Woman was able to throw a man across a room with a single push of his hand. Wonder Woman was able to withstand a hail of bullets in her shield, although she withstood it with considerable effort, knocked down many German soldiers with her shield and lasso, withstood with her shield a missile and raised a small tank of war and threw it by the airs. She also defeated the mighty metahuman [[General Ludendorff|General Luderdorff]] in a brief but intense struggle. During her fight against [[Ares]], Wonder Woman was able to stay in combat against the God of War, albeit with considerable effort and due to Ares being greatly weakened from his defeat by Zeus. After reaching her full potential as a demigod, Wonder Woman knocked down a small German battalion with only her strength, raised a very large war tank and finally she was able to briefly pummel Ares, although only through her divine power was she able to truly defeat him. Wonder Woman was also able to make the monster [[Doomsday]] beat with his blows, stopping a massive blow of the [[Kryptonian]] deformity, and could even bring it down with a blow of his shield on the feet of the latter. She could also fight on two occasions almost evenly with [[Steppenwolf]], blocking a massive blow from the latter's [[Electro Axe]] with her shield and even grabbing it from the waist and knocking it down through a concrete wall and crashing it against a wall, although all this with considerable effort and the use of her weapons. In the same way, Wonder Woman was able to fight the resurrected [[Superman]], causing him to back off a bit with his shield and leave him for a moment stunned with a blow to his head (and even generating a shock wave with the headbutt), although she was ultimately defeated by the [[Superman|Kryptonian]]. |
||
| − | **'''Super Leaps''': Wonder Woman is able to use her incredible strength to jump immense vertical and horizontal distances, with her leaping across an entire field effortlessly, while fighting [[Doomsday]]. Even when I was only a child, Wonder Woman could jump great distances. |
||
| − | *'''Superhuman Durability:''' The skin, muscle and bone tissue of Wonder Woman often have the density of the same tissue in the body of a human being and is almost invulnerable. Even when she was little, Diana could jump long distances without hurting herself. While training with the other [[Amazons]], Wonder Woman was not affected by the attacks of these, not even by the attacks of strong Amazons like [[Antiope]] and [[Artemis (Amazon)|Artemis]], as well as resisting blows of the improved general [[Ludendorff]]. Wonder Woman's durability allowed her to withstand [[Ares]] blows, despite the considerably greater force of the God of War, as well as a direct hit from a sword built by Ares, an explosion of lightning that sent her flying and left her somewhat dazed , and even a tremendous explosion that left her dazed and almost deaf for a few minutes. After reaching her full potential as a semigodess, Wonder Woman became considerably more durable, enough to withstand the massive blows of the [[Doomsday]] monster, being sent flying several times by the monster and leaving completely unharmed. It was also able to resist the lightning, thermal vision and waves of electric shocks of Doomsday, being wrapped by the thermal thick beam without suffering any type of lession. In the same way, Wonder Woman came out completely unscathed and without a scratch from her fierce battles with [[Steppenwolf]] and [[Superman]], even though Steppenwolf hit her constantly with her [[Electro Axe]] and Superman hit her hard enough to leave her dazed. While Wonder Woman can be affected by the considerable force of the powerful impacts, they only make her stumble and knock her down briefly, leaving her unscathed, with Wonder Woman even smiling after a mighty Doomsday blow blew her away (appreciating the power of a worthy opponent), and quickly rises to face the monster again with renewed ferocity. However, Wonder Woman can be hurt by very sharp objects, such as bullets. It usually makes up for this with its advanced healing factor and its immensely durable battle armor, its indestructible presentation bracelets and its indestructible shield. However, it is quite possible that after reaching their potential as semidosa, Wonder Woman became completely invulnerable to the bullets, and I only dodged them with their bracelets out of habit or for honoring the Amazons when wearing their bracelets. |
||
| − | **'''Regenerative Healing Factor''': Wonder Woman, in the rare instances when she is hurt, is able to heal wounds at superhuman rates. During a battle between invading German soldiers and Amazons on [[Themyscira]], Diana sustained a mild cut to her upper arm, which healed completely later that day. However, catastrophic wounds such as decapitation or having vital organs (such as her heart or brain) pierced, would kill her. |
||
| − | **'''Poison Immunity''': Wonder Woman was able to walk right through a cloud of [[Doctor Poison|Dr. Poison]]'s extra lethal hydrogen-based mustard gas without suffocating, and with little to no discomfort. |
||
| − | *'''Superhuman Speed:''' Wonder Woman, while not quite as fast as [[Superman]] or the [[Flash]], can move at considerable superhuman speeds, successfully using her reflexes to deflect most attacks with her bracelets, even many bullets at once, as she is fast enough to see them flying in the air (as if they were moving in slow motion). Thus, she was fast enough to get up from her seat and disarm a man of his gun and toss him across a room in seconds, to leave [[Lex Luthor]]'s fundraiser before Bruce managed to reach her, to save [[Batman]] from [[Doomsday]]'s thermal attack just in time, and to instantly use the [[Sword of Athena]] to slice apart in mid-air a car that Doomsday hurled at her. Indeed, Wonder Woman appeared as a blur when charging back at Doomsday after being knocked back by him. She was also capable of landing blows on Superman, even though she was unmatched. |
||
| − | **'''Superhuman Reflexes''': Wonder Woman's speed extends to her reflexes as well, even if she is not moving at superspeed, as when a [[World War I]] German soldier fired his gun past her, the bullet appeared to be moving in slow motion from her perspective. She repeatedly used this skill to deflect bullets with her [[Bracelets of Submission]] and block the blows of her opponents with ease. 100 years later, Wonder Woman's reflexes improve further, to the point that she was able to block all of the rapid machine-gun shots of a British terrorist with her bracelets, leaving the people standing behind her unscathed. Also, when she dropped her sword mid-battle with [[Parademons]], Wonder Woman was able to perceive [[Flash]] super speeding towards her fallen weapon, and hence outstretched her hand while he returned the sword to her grasp. Her reflexes were not powerful enough to contend with those of Flash or resurrected [[Superman]], however, as Superman managed to grasp Wonder Woman's [[Bracelets of Submission]] before she could clash them. |
||
| − | *'''Superhuman Agility''': Wonder Woman has a superhuman level of agility, allowing her to jump up immense distances and come down in elaborate somersaults, to swiftly and easily take down many [[World War I]] soldiers, while dodging and weaving around their attacks, and to even dodge quite a few attacks from the equally fast [[Ares]] and [[Doomsday]]. |
||
| − | *'''Superhuman Stamina:''' Wonder Woman's tremendous stamina enables her to exert herself at peak capacity for very lengthy periods of time without tiring at all, with her notably never needing to slow down or catch her breath during her ferocious battles with [[Ares]], [[Doomsday]], [[Steppenwolf]], and resurrected [[Superman]], despite her being considerably pressured by all of them. |
||
| − | *'''Superhuman Senses:''' Wonder Woman, due to her demigoddess physiology, has all of her senses superhumanly enhanced, much like those of [[Superman]]. This allowed her to clearly see [[Steve Trevor]] from miles away when his plane crash-landed near [[Themyscira]]. |
||
| − | *'''Levitation''': Wonder Woman possesses the ability to temporarily defy gravity and hover in the air, though it is not quite as advanced as the flight power of a [[Kryptonian]] or [[Olympian God|Old God]]. While defeating [[Ares]], she leapt into the air, and hovered for a few seconds, before gently floating down. |
||
| − | *'''Electrokinesis''': Wonder Woman, as the [[Olympian God|demigoddess]] daughter of [[Zeus]], has some degree of power over divine lightning, as she caught, absorbed and then redirected the tremendous torrents right back at the God of War, killing him. |
||
| − | *'''Divine Energy Generation:''' [[File:Diana-Blocks-Power.jpg|thumb|250px|Diana uses her divine power]]Wonder Woman, by clashing her [[Bracelets of Submission]] together, can release a huge spherical blast of orange (or sometimes white-hot) energy, with it being powerful enough to accidentally injure [[Antiope]], send the mighty gods [[Ares]] and [[Steppenwolf]] flying, and even make the gigantic monster [[Doomsday]] get pushed back from the force of it.At full power, Wonder Woman could generate these shock-waves from her body, notably to destroy the restrains Ares put her in, as well as shielding herself with it, as the debris Ares sent flying at her disintegrated against the invisible field as she built up her attack. She could also freeze the momentum of targets in front of her, causing Ares to be forcibly suspending in the air when he tried flying into her before she blasted him away. Wonder Woman can also transmit this energy through her shield, since when she struck one of her bracelets with her shield she generated an energy wave that knocked down a bridge and, to [[Cyborg]] and [[Steppenwolf]] with it. |
||
| − | *'''Immortality:''' Wonder Woman, due to being an [[Amazon]], has lived for millennia without visibly aging, with her being roughly 800 years old (having been born right after the [[War of the Gods]]), and having been present in "[[Earth|Man's World]]" since [[World War I]]. She is thus the oldest member of the [[Justice League]] by far (though still roughly millenia younger than [[Enchantress]], and even more so than [[Ares]] and [[Steppenwolf]]), making her an ageless immortal, much like [[Superman]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Abilities=== |
||
| − | [[File:Wonder Woman Leg Sweep.png|thumb|250px|Wonder Woman Leg Sweeping a robber]] |
||
| − | *'''Master Combatant:''' Wonder Woman, having been trained in combat tactics by [[Menalippe]] and [[Antiope]], is a tremendously skilled, fierce, and formidable hand-to-hand combatant (being at least on par with [[Batman]]<ref name="Wonder Woman: Exclusive First look by the CW" />), a master of a vast array of uniquely martial arts, as well as an expert in most types of melee weapons (though she most frequently uses her bracelets, lasso, sword, and even shield) with centuries of combat experience, with her claiming to have fought and defeated several beings from "other worlds" (which includes even the fearsome God of War [[Ares]] himself). Wonder Woman swiftly became the greatest warrior of [[Themyscira]], her tremendous combat skills eventually becoming enough to rival even those of her mentor [[Antiope]] and ultimately surpassing her upon acquiring full potential, due to the latter (upon [[Hippolyta]]'s insistence) training her much harder than any [[Amazon]] ever before her. Hence, Wonder Woman defeated the notorious [[Slipknot]] with effortless ease<ref name="SlipknotWonderWoman" />, as well as many [[World War I]] soldiers (even the enhanced [[Erich Ludendorff|General Ludendorff]] was defeated and killed relatively quickly by her), and numerous [[Parademons]] single-handedly, seamlessly incorporating hand-to-hand combat, sword sashes with the [[god killer]] (and later with the [[Sword of Athena]]), and her [[Lasso of Hestia]] against them in her own personalized formidable style. Indeed, Wonder Woman's tremendous skill and exceptionally versatile style make her capable of effectively holding her own against either more experienced or more powerful opponents, even the mighty God of War [[Ares]] (albeit only with considerable effort and initial failure, given his superior combat experience, and her need to use a non-violent mindset), the New God [[Steppenwolf]], an enraged resurrected [[Superman]], and the gigantic [[Doomsday]], with her managing to temporarily knock the latter fearsome monster down (by smashing his feet from under him with her shield), and even temporarily restrain him with her [[Lasso of Hestia]], as well as cut off his right arm with the [[Sword of Athena]]. Indeed, had Doomsday not had his incredibly adaptable healing factor, it is safe to assume that Wonder Woman's tremendous combat skills would have allowed her to ultimately defeat him. Moreover, even when Wonder Woman's sword was destroyed by Ares, she still held her own against the more powerful [[Olympian God|Old God]]. However, although she put up a considerable fight, Wonder Woman was ultimately fairly quickly defeated by the resurrected [[Superman]], and was only saved by [[Lois Lane]]'s timely intervention. |
||
| − | **'''Master Swordswoman''': Wonder Woman is an extremely skilled swordswoman, with centuries of experience wielding her magical [[god killer|god killer]] sword (and later the [[Sword of Athena]]) in many battles, including those of [[World War I]]. Thus, she managed to slash at enemy soldiers with her sword even while racing past on horseback, to instantly slice apart in mid-air a car hurled at her by [[Doomsday]] with the [[Sword of Athena]], to later do the same to massive piece of debris hurled at her by resurrected [[Superman]], and to sever one of Doomsday's arms during her mortal battle with the monster, delivering wounds that would have otherwise been lethal, had it not been for the monster's incredible healing factor and adaptive evolution. |
||
| − | **'''Master Lassoer''': Wonder Woman is extremely skilled at combatively wielding her unbreakable [[Lasso of Hestia]], notably using it to stop an escaping German spy, to take down numerous German soldiers in [[World War I]] battles, to retrain a British terrorist leader, to restrain and defeat [[Erich Ludendorff|General Ludendorff]], to hold her own against [[Ares]] after getting her sword destroyed, to restrain a resurrected [[Superman]] (albeit unsuccessfully), and to even restrain [[Doomsday]] himself. |
||
| − | **'''Expert Archer:''' Wonder Woman, despite hardly ever using a bow and arrows in combat, is nonetheless highly skilled in utilizing them, having received elite archery training from her aunt [[Antiope]]. |
||
| − | *'''Expert Rider:''' Wonder Woman, as an Amazon, is a highly skilled horseback rider, shown during her involvement in [[World War I]] battles. |
||
| − | *'''Stealth:''' Wonder Woman, while not quite on par with [[Batman]], is exceptionally stealthy, as she was able to quickly sneak away from [[Chief]] and [[Charlie]] (to [[Erich Ludendorff|General Ludendorff]]'s gala), and later to steal the hacking device that [[Batman|Bruce Wayne]] had plugged into the [[LexCorp|LexCorp Industries]] servers, and later leave it in his car, without getting caught on either occasion. Later, Wonder Woman noticed [[Cyborg]] spying at her and Batman from a distance, and shortly thereafter, along with Batman and Cyborg, she was able to swiftly slip away when [[James Gordon|Commissioner Gordon]] turned away for a moment, and even [[Flash]] was left incredulous at how he didn't notice his teammates leave, despite having superhuman reflexes and standing right beside them. Wonder Woman even managed to enter the highly-secure [[Batcave]] itself on her own, impressing Batman. |
||
| − | *'''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 "[[Earth|Man's World]]" after [[World War I]], all of which definitely 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 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), she was the first to realize that [[Doomsday]]'s adaptive healing factor was energy-based, and she 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<ref name="JusticeLeagueTrailer2">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNdE1Gq_a1c JUSTICE LEAGUE Trailer #2 (2017) Zack Snyder, Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot DCEU Superhero Movie]</ref>, 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. |
||
| − | **'''Expert Antiquities Dealer:''' Wonder Woman, while in her guise as the human Diana Prince,[[File:Diana speaking to a Gotham curator.png|250px|thumb|Diana, speaking to a Gotham curator.]] is an extremely experienced genius antiquities dealer, with Diana's tremendously long immortal life and natural fluency in all human languages allowing her to accumulate an immense amount of knowledge on the subject, though (being an [[Amazon]] with [[Olympian God|Old God]] heritage) she seems to specialize most in ancient Greco-Roman antiques. Hence, Diana works as Curator for the Department of Antiquities<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0w54VkC1s1g Analysis of WONDER WOMAN - Scene 1 Louvre - Justice League Universe Podcast]</ref> at the extremely prestigious [[Louvre Museum]] in [[France]], and she is held in very high esteem by the curator of the [[Gotham City Museum of Antiquities]], being swiftly able to tell that the museum's exhibit of Alexander the Great's sword was a fake, knowing exactly where the actual sword is, impressing [[Batman]] himself. |
||
| − | **'''Omnilingualism''': Wonder Woman, as an [[Amazon]], has the ability to fluently speak, read, and understand all [[human]] languages (even currently dead ones, which allows her to surpass even a polyglot like [[Sameer]]), as well as to instinctively identify a language's name when seeing it's written form (doing so when seeing [[Doctor Poison|Dr. Poison]]'s notes on hydrogen-based mustard gas). Wonder Woman has so far been known to speak or read English (albeit with a mild Middle Eastern accent), French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Mandarin, Chinese, Sumerian, Ancient Greek, Latin, and Ottoman Turkish, thus making her the most polyglottic member of the [[Justice League]]. |
||
| − | *'''Indomitable Will''': Wonder Woman has tremendous determination and strength of will, since she refuses to ever hunker down and give up, even when placed against seemingly insurmountable odds. Hence, despite the Germans invading [[Themyscira]] having far superior firepower, despite the extreme danger of German firepower in-between [[World War I]] trenches, despite having to fight the stronger and seeming unstoppable [[Doomsday]], despite having to battle the mighty [[Ares]] right after witnessing [[Steve Trevor]]'s death, Wonder Woman promptly rose up, overcame her negative emotions, and kept on fighting, persisting until she eventually managed to gain the upper hand. Indeed, her indomitable spirit gave a renewed hope to the [[Wonder Men]], energizing them past the point of purely monetary interests, with [[Chief]] resolving to no longer be neutral in the war and believing her story of the [[Olympians]], [[Sameer]] finally admitting his passion for acting, and even the depressed [[Charlie]] struggling with PTSD finally beginning to sing again for the first time in years. When humanity's inherent potential for evil is revealed to her by [[Ares]], Wonder Woman, while initially taken aback, ultimately rejects the prospect of alliance with Ares against them, even if that were to mean missing out on "paradise" on [[Earth]], and instead courageously confronts him, as the god killer. When seemingly beaten by Ares (who was only growing more powerful from her violence, rage, and hatred) and overcome by the weight of Ares' words and the devastation of Steve's death, Wonder Woman recalled his great love for and undying belief in her, and was thereby able to muster up enough willpower and love to overcome her violent emotions and overpower Ares. While mostly stepping away from superheroism for 100 years (emotionally crippled at her inability to save the Belgian villagers or Steve, and by seeing the ensuing "century of horrors"), Wonder Woman didn't entirely lose hope, and it was fully reignited again when she witnessed the self-sacrificing death of another selfless superhero, [[Superman]] (who combined the phenomenal godly might of [[Ares]] with the self-sacrificing morality of [[Steve Trevor]]), giving her enough faith to help [[Batman]] found the [[Justice League]]. During the League's battle against [[Steppenwolf]]'s forces, Wonder Woman was able to inspire confidence into the inexperienced [[Flash]] and [[Cyborg]], assuring them that they wouldn't need to fight the [[Apokolips|Apokoliptan]] invasion alone. |

| − | ==Equipment== |
||
| − | [[File:REB WONDERWOMAN.png|thumb|250px|Diana wearing her battle armor.]] |
||
| − | *'''[[Wonder Woman's battle armor|Amazon warrior armor]]:''' Wonder Woman's Amazonian combat armor, which helps compensate for any possible vulnerability to sharp bullets. |
||
| − | *'''General Antiope's tiara:''' Wonder Woman would wear it in loving memory of her beloved aunt and mentor [[Antiope]], with Diana striving to be worthy of it, as the tiara signifies that it's wearer is the greatest [[Amazon]] warrior of them all. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Weapons=== |
||
| − | *'''[[Lasso of Hestia]]:''' Wonder Woman's specialized completely unbreakable weapon, with the ability to force anyone it captures to obey the lasso's wielder and tell the truth. She successfully wielded it against [[Steve Trevor]] (in order to get the experienced spy to tell her the truth), [[Erich Ludendorff|General Ludendorff]] (in order to half his escape and kill him), [[Ares]] (in order to keep up with the violent God of War in battle), [[Doomsday]] (in order to temporarily restrain him, while [[Batman]] weakened him, and [[Superman]] delivered the finishing blow), and resurrected [[Superman]] (in order to restrain him until the post-mortem amnesia wore off). |
||
| − | [[File:Wonder Woman holds up her gauntlets.png|thumb|250px|Wonder Woman's Bracelets of Submission.]] |
||
| − | *'''[[Bracelets of Submission]]:''' Wonder Woman wears two specialized nigh-indestructible gauntlets, in order to compensate for her vulnerability to sharp objects and bullets. They are incredibly durable, capable of deflecting even [[Ares]]' humongous torrents of lightning, and [[Doomsday]]'s tremendously powerful and destructive thermal attack, while also having the ability to create a massive wave of energy outwards when clashed together. |
||
| − | *'''[[Wonder Woman's shield|Amazon shield]]:''' Wonder Woman's Amazonian shield, which she uses to protect herself from other weapons and energy blasts (in tandem with her bracelets). Much like her bracelets, it is nigh-indestructible, capable of deflecting even humongous torrents of lightning from [[Ares]] and tremendously powerful and destructive thermal attacks from the monster [[Doomsday]]. It can also be used as an offensive weapon, with Wonder Woman smashing it hard into the legs of Doomsday, thus momentarily managing to knock him down. |
||
| − | *'''[[Sword of Athena]]:''' Wonder Woman's second sword, replacing the [[god killer]], with the Sword of Athena being equivalently powerful, one of the few weapons that can actually injure the otherwise invulnerable [[Superman]] and [[Doomsday]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Formely Equipment=== |
||
| − | *'''[[God killer]]:''' Wonder Woman's extremely sharp and durable sword forged in Themyscira, that she wielded in battle during [[World War I]]. However, the god killer was ultimately destroyed by [[Ares]]. Due to its nature, the god killer would very likely have been able to injure otherwise invulnerable beings, like [[Superman]] and [[Doomsday]], had it still been in existence, however, this was never demonstrated. |
||
| − | *'''Glasess:''' Wonder Woman's pair of glasses, which she donned when attempting to conceal her identity and pose as a [[human]] (much like [[Superman]]) during [[World War I]], but they break during a battle with [[Erich Ludendorff|General Ludendorff]]'s spies. |

||
| − | *Initially, being over 5,000 years old, she is the oldest member of the [[Justice League]]. However, it has been confirmed that she is 800 years old. |
||
| − | *After the Man of Steel, Wonder Woman is the strongest and overall the most powerful member of the Justice League. Also, Diana has no exploitable weaknesses like Supermans' vulnerability to Kryptonite and/or magic. |
||
| − | *She is currently the only female member of the Justice League. |
||
| − | *Aside from her comic counterpart, Wonder Woman of the cinematic DCEU, does not fly, yet. Or that we know of. Rather she can levitate as well as leap at tremendous heights and distances. At the end of the film Wonder Woman, it appears that levitation aids her when she jumps great distances. |
||
| − | *In the film, during the scene where Diana tries ice cream for the first time in the train station (and enjoys it) possibly alludes to Wonder Woman doing the same (albeit in the street) in ''Justice League Vol. 2 #3'' in the New 52. <ref>http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Justice_League_Vol_2_3</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8S9Jr-GGCY</ref> |
||
| − | *Diana is right-handed. |
||
| − | *In all three films Diana has been in, she is never referred to as "Wonder Woman". Likewise, the alias isn't seen anywhere in print either. The closest it's come is the logo used in Lex Luthor's data, being two "W"s. Likewise, Bruce Wayne is only called "Batman" three times in the run of the DCEU. Once by Perry White, once by Barry Allen, and once by Aquaman. |

Quick Answers
Who is Wonder Woman?

Biography
Edwards was recruited by ARGUS to help Task Force X along with 2 units of Navy SEALs codenamed Bravo and Alpha. GQ was the leader of the SEALs as he was a Lieutenant but was under the command of Rick Flag. He saw the team for the first time and was dismayed as he thought the SEALs were more than enough to take out Enchantress.
He went to Midway City, Michigan along Task Force X to battle Enchantress and Incubus. It was covered as a terrorist attack though. The helicopter they were on crashed but everyone survived. He and the rest of the Navy SEALs were almost overpowered by their minions but the Eyes of the Adversary were fought off by them and Task Force X. Edwards started to question Flag after one of the minions they killed was a civilian but quickly backed down when asked if he would believe him. Bravo was captured and turned into minions, leaving only the remaining members of Alpha.
They made it to the extraction zone to escort Amanda Waller into a helicopter but it was hijacked by the Joker with the help of his goons .Joker and his goons managed to kill all but 4 of the SEALs. They made a plan to take out Incubus by driving him into a corner and blow him up with a demo charge Enchantress had abandoned earlier in a flooded subway station. The SEALs put on scuba gear and Edwards went underwater and was accompanied by the 3 SEALs and Killer Croc.
They were ambushed by some of Enchantress' minions but were held off by the SEALs and Croc . Meanwhile El Diablo fought off Incubus in his flaming avatar form and drove him into the corner. The SEALS were killed pretty easily by the minions but Croc kept on going. GQ managed to get the charge and swam away. Edwards set the charge and Rick Flag contacted him to blow it and he did. Incubus was killed and El Diablo died too. Given Edwards' proximity to the explosive charge he died a hero.
Abilities
- Peak human condition: Edwards, as a US Navy SEAL, is in top physical condition (from frequent intense training and extensive experience in the field), with greatly heightened levels of strength, speed, stamina, reflexes, agility, and durability, though not quite on pair with Deadshot and Captain Boomerang and not even near to Batman's level. However, when pitted against Enchantress' monstrous troops, he and the other SEALs were almost defeated.
- Expert marksman: Edwards is a highly skilled marksmen, landing several shots on some of Enchantress's Eyes of the Adversary, though he is far surpassed in accuracy and precision by Deadshot.
- Expert swimmer: Edwards, due to being a Navy SEAL, is a highly skilled swimmer, thus was able to plant a bomb under Incubus.
- Skilled leader: Edwards, as a Navy Seal Lieutenant, is a very skilled leader (at least on pair with Deadshot). Hence, he helped Rick Flag lead 2 units of Navy SEALs codenamed Bravo and Alpha alongside Task Force X, in the mission in Midway City. Later on he (under Flag's orders) led 3 remaining SEALs and Killer Croc to plant a bomb under Incubus.
