“	Is she with you? I thought she was with you..	„
	~ Batman and Superman about Wonder Woman's arrival during their battle against Doomsday

Wonder Woman is actually the alias and the other identity of Diana Prince, who is secretly the Amazon Princess, Diana of Themyscira. She is a demigoddess and the daughter of the Amazons' Queen Hippolyta and Zeus. She also serves as an emissary and ambassador from Themyscira, charged with the mission of bringing peace to the outside world (as that was the original purpose which the Olympian gods created the Amazons for). She would aid the Allied Powers during World War I, and would continue defending the innocent.

A century later, she helped the alien superhero Superman and co-founded the valiant Justice League with the vigilante Batman and she is the quaternary protagonist of the 2016 movie and the second installment in the DC film universe, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. She is appearing as the titular main protagonist in her 2017 standalone film ,and returns as one of the main protagonists in the upcoming Justice League.

She is portrayed by the Israeli model and actress Gal Gadot, who also portrayed Gisele Yashar.

Early Life

Diana was born approximately 5,000 thousands years ago (in the 2980s BCE), on the Island of Themyscira, as the demigoddess daughter of Greek Olympian god Zeus and the Queen of the Amazons, Hippolyta.

She will also return in the crossover cinematic adaptation of Justice League.

Personality

Diana is described as a very kind, loving, and benevolent person, who stands for equality, evidenced by her constantly asking her fellow Themysciran Amazons with outrage why they have chosen to abandon mankind, despite being initially created by the gods of Olympus for humanity and Earth's protection.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

• Superhuman Strength: Wonder Woman has incredible superhuman strength, though not quite on the same level as that of Superman, making her the second strongest member of the Justice League.
  • Superhuman Leaps: Wonder Woman is able to use her incredible strength to jump immense vertical and horizontal distances.
• Superhuman Speed: While not quite as fast as Superman or Flash, Wonder Woman can move at considerable superhuman speeds, successfully using her reflexes to deflect most attacks with her bracelets.
• Superhuman Stamina: Wonder Woman's stamina enables her to exert herself at peak capacity for very lengthy periods of time without tiring at all.
• Superhuman Durability: Wonder Woman, much like Superman, is virtually invulnerable to blunt force trauma. While Wonder Woman can be affected by the considerable force of powerful impacts, they only at most cause her to stumble and briefly knock her down, leaving her unscathed. However, she can be wounded by very sharp objects, as well as bullets. She generally compensates for this, however, by wearing her combat armor and signature bulletproof bracelets of submission.
  • Healing Factor: In rare instances when she is hurt, Wonder Woman is able to heal from wounds at superhuman rates. However, she cannot heal from catastrophic wounds, lost organs or severed limbs.
• Superhuman Senses: Wonder Woman, due to her Amazon physiology, has all of her senses superhumanly enhanced.
• Longevity: Wonder Woman, due to her being the demigoddess daughter of Zeus and Hippolyta, has lived for millennia without visibly aging, with her being roughly 5,000 years old, and having been present during World War I. She is thus the oldest member of the Justice League by far.

Abilities

• Expert Combatant: Wonder Woman is also an extremely skilled and formidable hand-to-hand combatant (superior to even Batman), a master of uniquely Amazonian martial arts, as well as an expert in most types of Amazonian weapons (though she most frequently uses her bracelets, lasso, sword, and even shield) with centuries of combat experience. She is the greatest warrior of Themyscira, rivaled only by her mother Hippolyta. This makes Wonder Woman capable of effectively holding her own even against more powerful opponents, such as Superman and Doomsday.
• Expert Swordswoman: Wonder Woman is an extremely skilled swordswoman, with centuries of experience wielding her magical Amazonian sword in many battles, including those of World War I.
• Expert Rider: Wonder Woman, as an Amazon, is a highly skilled horseback rider, shown during her involvement in World War I battles.

Equipment

• Battle armor: Wonder Woman's magical Amazon combat armor, which helps compensate for her vulnerability to sharp objects and bullets.
• Bracelets of Submission: Two specialized incredibly durable gauntlets that Wonder Woman wears, in order to compensate for her vulnerability to sharp objects and bullets.
• Lasso of Truth: A specialized incredibly durable magical weapon, with the ability to force anyone it captures to obey the lasso's wielder and tell the truth.
• Shield: A magical Amazonian shield that Diana uses to protect herself from other weapons and energy blasts (in tandem with her bracelets). It is virtually indestructible, capable of deflecting even a tremendously powerful and destructive energy attack from the monster Doomsday.
• Sword: A magical Amazonian sword that Diana frequently wields in battle. Due to its nature, it is one of the few weapons that can actually injure the otherwise invulnerable Superman.

• Glasses: Wonder Woman's pair of glasses, which she donned when attempting to conceal her identity and pose as a human being during World War I.
