Character description
Powers
Wonder Woman's powers were gifted by the Olympian gods, and as such has attributed their superhuman abilities since her conception.[1]
- Superhuman strength: Gifted by Hercules, Wonder Woman is able to perform extreme feats of strength with ease.
- Superhuman speed: Gifted by Mercury, Wonder Woman is much swifter than the average human's top speed. She first demonstrated this ability when she was a young girl, for example, where she outran a deer.[1] Wonder Woman's fast agility has allowed her to do aerial flips and jumps, as well as block automatic weapon fire and energy blasts with her bracelets.
- Telepathy: Wonder Woman can transmit her thoughts to summon or control her invisible jet to her aid, and also uses this ability to control her Lasso of Truth. Aquaman considers her and himself to be "telepathy experts."[2]
Abilities
- Hand-to-hand combat: Since she was trained as an Amazonian warrior, Wonder Woman is an experienced fighter and uses both armed and unarmed combat.
- Aviation: Wonder Woman is able to use her invisible jet due to her experience in using aircraft vehicles.
