Hello everyone, it's another Saturday today and that means it's Saturday Lady Day at Another Geeky Alien! Whoo, I love writing about awesome women!!
Today's Geeky Alien Lady of the Week is Wonder Woman!
DC Universe Online just came out last January. I've been tinkering with a friend's account and playing around with it too! Hence why I am writing about Wonder Woman now.
What to say besides this woman being beyond amazing? Oh yes, Wonder Woman is a DC superheroine who first appeared in 1941. Trying to finally introduce feminism into male-dominated comics, Wonder Woman is the epitome of all things female. Her super powers include superhuman strength, super-speed, super-stamina, super-agility, flight, and the ability to communicate with animals. She is also trained in hand-to-hand combat, tactical warfare, and her weapon of choice is the Lasso of Truth... which kind of speaks for itself. If you ask me, Wonder Woman is pretty IMBA.
Wonder Woman and her Lasso of Truth
Looking at Wonder Woman's history, you would find a series of different origins and stories. There is one of her being an Amazonian champion blessed by the gods and another of her being crafted from clay by the Queen of Amazons. Although the changes in beginnings make it a tad bit confusing, it is interesting that they have a common ground in mythology.
Wonder Woman's secret identity or human counterpart is Diana Prince. But that's another long story. However, how Wonder Woman used her alter-ego was incredibly impressive. Not wanting to underplay her innate call to justice, she uses her identity as Diana Prince to play an important role in military intelligence.
If you guys have noticed, I'm rather fond of strong and independent women who take control of their situations. Which is why I am in extreme like with Wonder Woman. Despite being the only female lead heroine in the Justice League, she does not stand down, knowing she is an incredible asset beyond physical bounds!
Til next Sat, gents, live long and prosper!
