Since Wonder Woman’s comic book debut in the 1940’s, her costume has never stopped being super sexy. From her first get-up in 1941; a bustier and star spangled panties, to her mini dress and blue tights in 1971, to her current superhero Amazonian look, she still rules the planet, kicks ass, and always looks hot. Wonder Woman pulled in over $100 million at the box office during its opening weekend. Why? Two words: girl power.
William Moulton Marston, the creator of Wonder Woman, was a Psychologist who explained that the character was intended “to set up a standard of strong, free, courageous womanhood; and to combat the idea that women are inferior to men.” After her comic book debut in 1941, in 1942 Wonder Woman was allowed to join the “Justice League”, an all male group of superheroes.

According to The LA Times, “A syndicated Wonder Woman newspaper comic strip debuted in 1944. During this time Marston hired his student, Joye Hummel, as an assistant to help him write Wonder Woman comic-book scripts between 1944-77. All of the stories remained credited to “Charles Moulton.”
In 1952, “in response to allegations of “indecent” themes and concerns about how comic books contributed to juvenile delinquency,” the Comics Magazine Association of America created a Comics Code Authority for publishers to police their own content. The industry’s self-censorship, in addition to Marston’s death, saw Wonder Woman stories change to being less vocal in her feminism and more focused on her romances with Steve Trevor, Merman and Birdman.”
In 1956, the “Golden Age of comics began and Wonder Woman acquired new superhero powers, including flight. In 1972, Wonder Woman reclaimed her feminist roots when Gloria Steinem decided to place the superhero (in costume) on the cover of the very first issue of Ms. Magazine. This spotlight helped put the character on a path to reclaim her powers (and her costume). Wonder Woman was also featured on the cover of the magazine’s 35th and 40th anniversary issues.
The first “Wonder Woman” television movie actually starred Cathy Lee Crosby as Diana Prince, but the series never materialized.
Lynda Carter made her first appearance as Wonder Woman in the made-for-TV film “The New Original Wonder Woman.” The film led to the TV series, which premiered on April 21, 1976.
Wonder Woman returned to the animated TV world in “Justice League,” which was part of the DC Animated Universe that launched with 1992’s “Batman: The Animated Series.” Justice League” focused on the team consisting of Wonder Woman, Batman, Superman, Green Lantern.
According to entertainment reporter Tracy Brown, “In 2013 Gal Gadot debuted as Wonder Woman in “Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice.” The film grossed over $873 million worldwide. Lynda Carter, Gal Gadot and director Patty Jenkins attended the U.N. when Wonder Woman was declared honorary ambassador for the empowerment of women and girls at a ceremony held at the U.N. headquarters in New York.”
In June, “Wonder Woman” hit theaters, becoming the first female-led film in the modern superhero movie renaissance. The movie grossed over $100 million in the U.S. and $100 million overseas. In the first weekend.
