Wonder Woman FAQ

[Crisis]

2) In the older comics what exactly was the connection between Wonder Woman's costume and her powers? I know about the thing with her braclets, but I keep hearing that in the old days she'd lose her powers if she lost her belt; is that true?

False: that was only on the tv show. what was like it in the comics (pre-crisis on earth 1 and 2) is if her braclets were chained by a man she would loser her powers. Or if her mother had the girdle of venus (i think its venus) taken away from her.

OK, so why is Diana wearing non-heeled boots? Are we supposed to believe a bad-ass Amazonian princess needs archsupport from orthopedically sound flats?

An asskicking looks soo much more impressive when delivered in stiletto heels.

My roomate says that Wonder Woman gained the ability to fly in some "war" were the heroes were magically powered up...
Is any of this true?

[CaptainCanada]

No; post-1987 Wondy got flight as part of her package of Olympian-granted powers (it came from Hermes, as does her speed).

I the first issue of Trinity Superman say something along the line of Wonderwoman loses her powers out of costume? What up with that?

[CaptainCanada]

That's not true; her powers are innate.

IIRC, at the end of Heinberg's run, Circe cast a spell that removed Diana's powers when she was Diana Prince. She is only powered when she is Wonder Woman ....
