For a demonstration of this, you just need to read some comics. I’d suggest the Hikieta, League of One, Eyes of the Gorgon and the four trades out of Perez’s run.
But okay if you want me to break down the ways in which Wondy is so uniquely badass:
This is a woman who fights Gods. On a regular basis. And wins. Also hydras and monsters and dragons and all kinds of mythological shit. She is deeply connected to myth, which is cool because myth is the coolest thing to exist. Gods! Monsters! questions about the inherent philosophy of deities and how they are connected to our modern society! This stuff is cool as hell.
Wonder Woman has a lasso of truth. This isn’t just a weapon, it’s uniquely connected to her. She has the power of truth and it’s connected to the lasso. And this shit isn’t just a lie detector. It makes people see the truth about themselves. WW’s first big battle post-crisis was against Ares, the god of War, who was gonna blow us all up. He beat the crap out of Diana, but she got her lasso around him and he saw that once he had destroyed the entire world the humans who gave him power with their lust for violence would be gone. He’d be utterly alone and he would crumble and die. This made the God of War break down in tears. And so he left us alone of his own volition. That is the power of the lasso. It shows you the real deal of what’s up. As someone who prefers psycholigical battles to just straight beat em ups, that’s cool as hell. Also, one time WW lost confidence in the truth and it threw the entire universe out of wack because truth and belief became the same and the moon started turning to cheese and shit. Diana was like “oops”. That’s how powerful her lasso is, guys. If WW doesn’t believe in herself, the moon will turn to cheese. It’s a good thing she’s badass enough to maintain the TRUTH OF THE WORLD.
hmm… yes.. perfect.
hmm… yes.. perfect.
