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.
@scorpio_cassadine: What i don't understand is. Why many male heroes can be portrayed as very powerful while also having a good nature. Yet some writers think WW can't be very powerful without having a bitch attitude? We have so many great male warriors with codes, yet they think WW must be portrayed as a barbarian. A warrior woman that only cares about fighting and killing.
Because comics are a sausage fest and have been male dominated for decades.

Some associate powerful women with bitchiness, especially coming from an all female society they assume hates men. They feel the need to dirty her up so she fits with the negative ideas they hold toward women. It's also done to be controversial and stick a finger in the eye of the political ideals she represents.
Hell no, not Frank Miller. He'd probably have Wonder Woman raped or something.
No, that's Mark Miller.
I know it's not the same, but for a guy who was stated being told he hates Superman, his recent works really were an apology letter, and Year One has given us a solid take on Clark's youth.
I’m not sure whether the OP is referring to Frank Miller or Mark Millar but Frank Miller is penning a feminist retelling of King Arthur for Netflix. Just an FYI.
