It's true Wonder Woman is on par with Superman and Shazam on physical strength, speed, regeneration, and durability but what really sets her apart is her training mastery and battle instincts. She has mastered nearly every unarmed martial art ever known and mastered practically every melee weapon and ranged weapon like the bow and arrow, throwing javelins, and so on. Her ability to use simple weapons in a wide variety or creative and strategic ways catches a lot of enemies off guard. And the magical weapons of the Amazonians that WW wields are potentially lethal to even the man of steel. Her lasso of Truth is also indestructible having been blessed by the Gods. Superman and Shazam are mostly straight forward brawlers with the addition of extra powers while Wonder Woman is a master of the art of combat itself. Among the Heroes in combat skills she has no equal except in other master martial artists, most of whom do not have WW durability or strength. This is why Wonder Woman is among the top super heroes of all time and not just the women of comics but all of them. Being the first major woman hero of comics helps too! When she beats other powerful opponents it is usually because of her ability to read their attacks and react accordingly to any move they throw at her. Also her ability to make full use of her surroundings, and use all her gear to the fullest. Wonder Woman can fight the likes of Superman and win while still wearing her bracelets, the same bracelets that hold back her power! Without the bracelets it's suggested she has no limits to her strength. She doesn't win every fight, no hero does but her skills as a warrior are legendary. So she has a clear advantage in fighting skills alone. Plus it's pretty epic that she is the new God of War after defeating Aries. She's a full fledged Warrior Goddess!

I have to say i hate that they made Superman and WW a couple,it was so unnecessary,both of them already had a love interest not to mention Clark and Lois were the most iconic couple in comis.Also the reason is stupid as well...they're both strong herp derp

While I understand it, I don't actually like the Superman/Wonder Woman coupling. Giving Clark a human love interest helps to ground him more as a character. With him being practically indestructible, it's his human love interest that he ends up worrying about and fighting for. He has more to lose in that sense. With Wonder Woman you don't have that. What would realistically happen in that case is both would push each other farther down a path of power since there's less risk of either dying. The fear of loss wouldn't affect them much. That's how it is in the Injustice comics and that's why I like their coupling in that storyline much better. It's WW who enables Superman to inflict his rage on the people and it's his loss of his human spouse and child that pushes him over the edge. The same should be said for Wonder Woman. It's been played with before but Batman would be the ideal love interest for her. He shares her warrior's heart, never compromises his ideologies like her, and they both come from well respected families. What makes them perfect for each other though is in how they differ and with that you can create a lot of interesting stories for them. You see how well this plays out in the Justice League animated series. Also I think Wonder Woman should be more powerful than Superman. She is a legit demi-god while Superman is merely an alien with enhanced abilities granted to him by the sun. I assume this is due to the hierarchy of Gods to aliens not being clarified enough.

George Perez' run on Wonder Woman post-Crisis should have been at least mentioned here. He was the one who took the collection of dopey cliche's WW was in the silver/bronze age and transformed her for the first time into an actual compelling, dynamic,three-dimensional character. He's also the one who revamped her powers to be the near-equal of Superman's and delved for real into her mythological roots.. The modern WW owes a LOT more to Perez's interpretation of the character than to any other.

YES!!! Wonder Woman is the best! MY second favorite DC hero after Batman. ...and, yes as well, Brian Azzarello´s run has been amazing! ...should have listed Giganta and First Born as her villains as well. By adding those, as well as Circe, that´s it for her rogues gallery; sadly.

i hope that in BvS Wonder Woman kicks ass like Faora did, but even better

I really liked Wonder Woman and Batman as a couple in Justice Legue and Justice Legue Unlimited

I still hate WW and Supes together, I like the idea of a super-powered beast like Supes being in a relationship with a normal human girl. It just seems so right.

Batman and Wonder Woman was a better couple

You should do a History of on The Question.

she is cooler with Bat-Man, it's really cute that relationship :3

Wonder Woman is one of my favorite superheroes in the DC Universe and I can't wait to see her in the new Superman vs Batman movie.

Not a demigod if both parents are gods...

History of black canary

I Love Wonder Woman but definitely NOT with Superman!!! Its Superman and Lois Lane Forever :D

I liked it better when the Justice League cartoon series was showing Wonder Woman and Batman was an interest in each other.

I literally just woke up and was like...Fuck ya new Variant video...Keep Up The Good Work Arris!

I have a head-canon that I like to think of Diana as "Earth's Favorite Daughter," and her powers are based on the Earth. Letting her lift just bellow the weight of the Earth, giving her speed to match the rotation of the Earth, and having her heal completely at every dawn.

Diana is better with Bruce.

Personally, I much prefer Wonder Woman with Batman (it makes for a much more interesting relationship than just basing it on power levels)...does this pairing occur in any of the comic books? I've only ever seen it in the Justice League cartoon series.

I wonder if they got the gauntlet removal idea from Shadow. Not saying they did but its possible.

You should do a history of Martian Manhunter

“So many heroes. So much potential. They could’ve been gods!” - Evil Tommy.

Would love to see history of scarecrow! He is one of my fave villains! ;)

i think the superman and wonder woman couple thing is shit and too obvious compared to batman and wonder woman

"Like" just for Arris saying "Take that Batman and Superman, girl power." Cute

DO A HISTORY OF DAREDEVIL ARIS PLEASE ! He's easily my third favourite character behind Spider-man and Batman. Plus he's got his new netflix series coming up and the mark waid run is awesome. IN SHORT DO HISTORY OF DAREDEVIL :)

WW removes her bracelets and she gets a Power Boost? Why does that sound somewhat familiar? [Looks at Shadow the Hedgehog] Ohhh yeah! Shadow can do that too.

Magical tiara....."Moon, Cresent, Magic!"

Um, some to this is inaccurate. Wonder Woman is "not as strong as Superman"? That is a lot of fanboys opinions but that is not the canon prior to FLASHPOINT/52. The poster mentions Marston and quotes him but seemed to miss the details about the design of powers. She was designed to wed femininity with a DOMINANT FORCE. She was to have all the power of a Superman and retain the allure of a good and beautiful woman according to her creator. As for what her strength is relative to Superman, they are BOTH ranked A1 and were referenced as THE strongest heroes (which is why their coupling in 52 is problematic for Bats).

thanks for the great videos! I'm new to comics and you' ve definitely helped me with reading material and understanding many of the characters!

Superman and wonder women are awesome together!

The New 52 Wonder Woman is definitely one of the best of the New 52

I love the Wonder Woman Superman relationship, a lot better than lois lane I mean Superman doesn't have to hold anything back in bed with Wonder Woman while with Lois he'd probably break her hips and maybe even kill her accidentally. It can definitely work as canon since in the Superman returns movie Lois has moved on so Superman could have had both relationships. Though neighbors would have to look out for earthquakes and loud booming noises due to Superman & Wonder Woman procreating

Best comic book history and fun all around. Thank you.

This is wondrous, have been waiting for this for a very long time.

It's odd that Zeus is Wonder Woman's new father... because in the last storyline I read, Aries, god of War is her Father and she hates him. Zeus is too... obvious... and cool. Aries being her father is bad-ass.

I really enjoy the history about Wonder Woman

i love these videos thanks Arris!

I love the new 52 , my 30 friends love it too

Anybody else lose that staring contest?

I don't see hey Wonder Woman even needs weapons...all she should have to do is let enemies look at her and they would pass out from sexiness overload. Aside from being one of DC's most powerful heroes she is also one of the most attractive.

Good job guys always bringing some good background in the mix

Other than Wonder Woman, Phantom lady is cited as the first Super-heroine. Truth is neither where the first, that honour goes to Domino lady from 1936, look her up :)

I wish Wonder Woman and batman got together like the cartoon show

For a episode could you compare the new tv superhero origins to the original ones, and what you think about them? Thanks!

this post is well timed as i am reading WW comics and watching the show

Finally. Please do a history of different spiderman costumes, like the bombastic bagman or cosmic spiderman and not to forget spiderman noir.

History of Hawkeye!!!!

love these history of video's

THANK U! U know how much I've wanted this

Thanks for posting. I am glad you posted this.

if they called Batman v Superman, the Trinity instead I bet it would have had better reviews lol

Batman + Wonderwoman forever

The Superman & Wonder Woman relationship ist great 👌

Awesome summary of one of the greatest super heroes of all comics thank you for the reading recommendations Aris. And also I honestly lost the staring contest just by one second before you blinked.

History of BLACK PANTHER!!!

Wait, I thought that Supergirl was stronger than Superman. If that's the case than wouldn't Wonder Woman be stronger than Superman since she beat Supergirl?

While some people gripe about the New 52 messing with Wonder Woman's origin, I have to admit Azzarello and Chiang's run is the first time in a long time I actually gave a shit about a Wonder Woman comic. The writing was excellent and the story was worth a second read. Good luck Finches, you two have a tough act to follow.

I think it was a great idea to make Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman is my favorite female superhero of all time.

“The girl who wondered has seen wonders... has become a woman who has traveled the world, who has traveled worlds! A woman who has touched countless lives, has made them better in ways beyond measure. A woman who has brought hope, and joy, and love. A woman who is the hero of so many. The truth of you has never changed, Diana. Even the gods themselves could not take that from you. Why would we? It's one of the many reasons we love you.” - ATHENA

History of Martian Man Hunter or History of Static Please

History Of Black Adam!

Hystory of black cat plizz!

Loved this.

Love the history videos.I learn something new all the time.Thank you!I had a question.Was batman one of wonder women's love interests too?

if superman and ww would change evil the only suvivor.... flash

damnit, i'm watching this when i'm very sleepy and cannot win the not blink contest. you won Arris. BTW in my country we call this "wolf stare". usually i'm pretty good at it, my classmates never wanted to play with me. i think i have it from my father, at his time he was winning against everyone and sometimes even in a row of 3 games, and i mean without blinking between games. so start with the first, beat him without blinking move to the next, and so on, like 3 times. my uncle told me this story then my father confirmed it... i guess it is true

Hurray! Thanks Arris :)

NOOOOO I LOST!!! Great episode, looking forward to more

I still don't understand why she goes to battle in a swimsuit

HISTORY OF FANTASTIC 4 PLEASE!!!!!

I think a history of vandal savage would make a good episode he is an underrated comic book character

she is powerful.

Do History of Arsenal

Finally someone did this

your channel is the only channel where i will like all the videos no matter what. i seriously appreciate all the work you do, ive learned so much from watching this shit.

Can you do a video of how DC Comics came to be ?

I liked Batman and wonder woman love relation better from the animated show

Just found your channel and im lovin it!!! Lol

Wow she appears first as cameo and then as the main protagonist of the Series 10/10.

In the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited Batman and WonderWomen were a couple. But not really actually because Batman can never date just kiss. Thanks Arris!

History of booster gold.

Arris if you could make up any hero or villain who who would it be and what super power would they have

I preferred the Justice leage cartoon batman and ww relationship, that was sick and you basically told us to basically get most of the new 52 ww. I personaly think the previous stuff is better

if wonder woman and superman are a couple, then Superman is basically cheating on lois lane.

I love this "history of ..." episodes cause they are really explan the character !! Xp

You forgot her shield for weapons

Can you do a series where you state your favourite collected editions, graphic novels or ongoing series' etc. and why you like them for a different character every time?

I seriously dislike the Superman and Wonderwoman relationship! Its just sooo predictable!!! I would of really enjoyed a Batman and Wonder Woman relationship way better!

SUPS AND BATS BEST COUPLE WHO AGREES!?

Please do History of Supergirl and Black Canary 😁 these are great! Oh! And Hawkgirl

You got me with that staring contest

Superman and Wonder Woman is actually a great pairing, despite the shit people give them. They have a lot in common, but also some interesting differences. She's almost as powerful as him, without taking off her bracelets, so she could actually withstand holding his hand, cuddling with him, and any other kind of physical interaction without having to worry about any of his muscles twitching and taking off her head, or splitting her in half. That also sends a more positive message, since they don't have to settle for someone that they'll simply outlive, or is weaker morally/physically than they are. They're equals, and strengthen each other, rather than them being sick puppies chasing after someone, or abused by a jealous partner. It's also worth noting that Wonder Woman had always wanted Superman, so it's great to see writers giving it a shot in the main continuity, rather than chucking it into an Elseworld story to appease Clombies (radical Clark and Lois fans).

1:40 that explains why wonder woman is such a feminist whos usually bashing men XD

I love these history of videos

I love Wonder Woman ❤️💙

she looked soooooooooo hot in batman vs Superman.

Well if sups and wonder women ever went evil that would be some crap but all we could do is look to bats
