    Wonder Woman

    Character » Wonder Woman appears in 8719 issues.

    The Amazon princess, blessed with god-like super abilities, Wonder Woman is one of Earth's most powerful defenders of peace, justice, and equality and a member of the Justice League. She is considered an archetype for many heroines outside of comic book. Her initial origin depicted her as a clay baby brought to life by patron goddess Aphrodite, but in recent years she has been depicted as the daughter of Zeus and Amazon queen Hippolyta.

    Is Wonder Woman the most beautiful in DCU ?

    I've always had a weird thing for Zatanna especially considering she's a fictional comic book character

    I'd say yes but it is super close with characters like Karen Starr, Poison Ivy and Starfire existing in DCU. This probably should have been a poll.

    Yes, she was blessed with beauty by the goddess of beauty, love, pleasure and procreation. No other heroine can lay claim to that.

    I agree that WW naturally is more beautiful than the listed DC girls.

    But others are also comparable to her , they are also pretty . Supergirl and Black Canary.

    there was a statement in flashpoint where somebody (forgot who it was) said Lois Lane was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen while talking to WW...So I guess Superman has quite the decision to make.

    Well Wonder Woman in the comics is blessed with beauty to match Aphrodite. You can't have that title without being objectively one of the most beautiful, if not THE most beautiful woman on the planet.

    That said, beauty is highly subjective. I personally would rate her among my top most attractive characters but I don't think she is the prettiest in relation to my own preferences. Also, artists bring a lot to the table in terms of character beauty. I could think WW is the most attractive in one issue, then completely hate her looks in another because the artists is different. There simply is no easy answer from the perspective of the reader.

    Yes, since she's blessed with the beauty of Aphrodite. My concern is more to do with the question of if she is shallow in any way, given comic fans perception of her having the virtues of compassion and truth, as a couple of examples.

    There was a Sensation Comics story where she lost her beautiful as Aphrodite power and if I recall correctly she had trouble getting people to pay attention to her. That's a sexist notion that's kind of dated, but it made me wonder if Hillary would be as successful as she is if she wasn't a pretty, grandmotherly like lady, with perfect hair and expensive custom made pants suits?

    It would be cool if in some parallel universe Diana didn't receive a make-over by Aphrodite and had to look only as good as Hipolyta's ability to sculpt clay. I'm imagining her like a Picasso painting where her face is asymmetrical and homely, her body is malformed and thinking of how that would effect her mission in Man's World.

    For the Sensation Comics issue,

    Didn't that just turn out to be an illusion by Dr. Psycho?

    I agree, mostly, I think the idea is that she is supposed to be the most beautiful woman on the planet, but artists depictions vary greatly and some people just prefer blonds or redheads.

    I would argue that the outfit doesn't make the woman, but I see your point.
