Wonder Woman is a super-hero dating back to the 1940's when she made her debut in All Star Comics volume #8. Since then Wonder Woman has appeared pretty much exclusively in DC Comics. The character is based on, and considered a princess of the Amazon women whom through her journeys comes to spend most of her time on Earth with the humans. Her home is an island called Themyscira(up to now Paradise Island) named after the Ancient greek home of the mythological Amazon women.
The character is a heroine and possesses numerous super-human talents that appear to change in accordance with the writer or situation Wonder Woman finds herself in. Most notably she has super human strength, speed, intellectual as well as mental abilities. Furthermore she has shown the abilities to communicate with animals, perform telepathy, blow winds at amazing speeds, and sometimes even fly.
Wonder Woman has indestructible bracelets(which in many story lines can't be removed), and the Lasso of Truth, which if lassoed by, captives are magically forced to be truthful. The Lasso is usually said to be indestructible and can also be lengthened at an endless length. Wonder Woman also has a tiara that possesses super qualities, and she can throw the tiara with a boomerang-like effect.
Collectively with Batman and Superman, Wonder Woman accounts for DC Comic's so called "Trinity" which is generally saying they are the most powerful and significant figures in the DC Comic Universe.
Apart from being heroic & superhuman, Wonder Woman is incredibly beautiful. The objective behind these qualities appeared to be her makers attempt to suggest that women can easily posses every one of these attributes at the same time, thus to help liberate the women of that time from becoming chained in or pigeon-holed by males of their period.
Through the years, Wonder Woman has retained a high level of popularity considering that she is a woman in an otherwise man infested world, from both the world of comic characters and the customers who buy them. As a result she has been somewhat of a trailblazer in the business which has since added figures such as Super Girl, Wonder Girl, Cat Woman, and Marvels long list of female characters such as Jean Grey/Phoenix, Storm, Rogue, Mystique, and so on.
In recent years there was a TV show pilot on NBC that ended up being cancelled though it may resurface on another network in the future. There are also rumors that the motion picture concept has recently been tossed around which would seem to fit the recent increase of super hero movies lately.
