Wonder Woman
Lydia Delgado
4th Period
Hi my name is Lydia Delgado and the hero I’ve chosen to present to y’all is Wonder Woman. Wonder woman is easily recognized by her unique patriotic styled outfit and beautiful looks. At the end of my presentation all of you will have some knowledge on how Wonder Woman’s character came to be, her background, and her weapons. Firstly, here are some important facts and information on her creator. Wonder woman was invented by William Moulton Marston who was an American psychologist, lawyer, inventor and comic book writer. Marston wanted to create a female hero that would be equal to all the other male superheroes in every way. A female superhero to fight alongside Superman as an equal. Marston’s wife, Elizabeth and his “lover” Olive Byrne served as inspiration for the character and greatly influenced her creation. Marston intended for his character, first called Suprema, to be “tender, submissive, peace loving as good women are”, combining “all the strength of a Superman plus all the allure of a good and beautiful woman”. Now here is some background information on Wonder Woman’s character. Wonder Woman is a warrior princess of the Amazons. She is mainly associated with the Justice League. Wonder Woman is brave, strong, wise and beautiful. She is able to accurately represent the ideal woman and super hero. Finally, I will discuss the weapons Wonder Woman uses and the superpowers she has. Wonder Woman is gifted with a wide range of powers and possesses an arsenal of weapons. Her Lasso of truth forces anyone it captures to obey and tell the truth. Her pair of indestructible bracelets can repel bullets and are used as shields. Her superpowers include super strength, agility, fast reflexes, sense stamina, endurance, flight and a healing factor. I chose Wonder Woman because she isn’t just a pretty character, she’s smart, powerful and courageous. She’s been a role model to girls everywhere since her creation. She is an icon of the feminist

    Essay on Wonder Woman

    • 1468 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Her mission is to bring love, peace, and sexual equality to a world torn by the hatred of men. The heroine Princess Diana of Themyscira, more famously known as Wonder Woman, has gone through various reimagining and different retellings in both media and comic books. But all of these have the same basic origin. She was born and lived the majority of her life on the isolated paradise island of Themyscira, an island inhabited entirely of Amazonian women. Everything changed one day when pilot, Captain Steve Trevor crashed on the mysterious island. Soon after he crashed, as he was being held and treated on the island, Queen Hippilyta held a tournament to decide who would have the honor of escorting Captain Trevor back to the United States. Against her mother’s wishes, Princess Diana participated in said tournament and won. At this point the narrative diverges depending on its retelling. In the 1975 pilot, set in World War II, named, The New Original Wonder Woman directed by Leonard Horn, Wonder Woman fights Nazis during the World War II era soon after leaving the island. In the 2009 animated movie, Wonder Woman, directed by Lauren Montgomery, Wonder Woman fights to stop the reign of the Greek god of war, Ares and his army of undead Amazons. Wonder Woman has always been widely considered as a feminist icon, thus these movies are supposed to reflect such a message. Thus each movie shows how the times and sexual equality has changed over the years. These can be shown by the relationship between Princess Diana and Steve Trevor in which one movie portrays them fighting on equal footing against a common threat much like co-workers and the other not so much which is apparent in a multitude of fighting scenes; Wonder Woman’s behavior and personality through both movies but mostly with her passive behavior in one fight scene in the 1975 pilot and her aggressive behavior in the 2009 animated movie; and Steve Trevor’s difference in behavior and personality but…

For instance, Gabriela chose the character Hazel Grace as her heroine due to the fact she believes Hazel is a complex and selfless character. And Juanita chose Peggy Carter considering Peggy, a woman living in the 60s who exemplified a phenomenal amount of female power, has always been one of her role models. She continued to explain by saying, “in Captain America she kicks…
