As a comic book fan and a male human being, I am, of course, a huge fan of Wonder Woman. She's sexy, she kicks ass, and she's considered to be one of the greatest super heroes of all time. Since her creation in the '40's, she's been a symbol inspiring woman and girls everywhere, though perhaps not in the ways that Wonder Woman creator William Moulton Marston wanted (it's a long story, look him up). A member of the DC Comics "big three" alongside Batman and Superman, and equipped with the lasso of truth and a pair of indestructible bracelets, Princess Diana of the Amazons is truly worthy of the same treatment as other big heroes, especially with the upcoming Justice League movie. I'm not too sure if I like the way Wonder Woman has been cast in these new live action movies, but I choose to remain optimistic, especially now that it has been announced that she will get her own film!
Wonder Woman is an amazing character. With hundreds of solo comics, a long tenture as a founding member of the Justice League, and a great run in The New 52, you don't have to take my word for it. Pick up a Wonder Woman book or watch the animated Wonder Woman film from a few years back and see for yourself, and come back Monday for another Something Awesome.
