Biography[]
Notes & Trivia[]
- The character of Princess Diana was created by director Leonard Horn and writer Stanley Ralph Ross based on concepts originally developed by William Moulton Marston.
Powers[]
- Immortality: So long as Wonder Woman remained on Paradise Island, she was virtually immortal. Whenever she left the island, Diana's body began to age at the same rate of cellular decay as a normal human being. Upon returning to the island however, her immortality was restored.
- Superhuman strength: Wonder Woman was several times stronger than the average human being, and could bend steel pipes in her bare hands, or lift heavy machinery with little to no effort. She could also use her powerful leg muscles to propel herself through the air, leaping over high obstacles such as walls or fences. In contrast to other versions of the character, Diana's strength level is significantly less than that of her Earth-One, Earth-Two or New Earth counterparts.
- Transformation: By spinning around in a clockwise motion, Wonder Woman could instantly change from her costumed identity to her Diana Prince disguise and back again.
Abilities[]
- Mimicry: Wonder Woman possessed an uncanny ability to perfectly mimic the voices of others. She has often demonstrated her proficiency at this skill by imitating others while speaking on a telephone. The person on the other end of the line believed that they were in fact speaking to another person altogether, often times, people they shared a great familiarity with. Note: In the series, actress Lynda Carter merely synchronized her lip movements to the pre-recorded voice of another actor.
- Motorcycle riding: Though she seldom engaged in such a conveyence, Wonder woman was capable of riding a motorcycle across tricky terrain with the precision of a trained stuntperson. She wore a special blue bodysuit (similar to her wonder-diving suit) and a golden helmet emblazoned with her sigil. [2]
