The original Wonder Woman of the comics -a grimly serious lady swashbuckler, an all-but-imortal Amazon princess out to rid the world of evil -has been transformed for television. In the hands of Universal Pictures, CBS and actress Lynda Carter, she of the magic lasso and bullet-deflecting bracelets is aloof but light-hearted, witty but dedicated... very much an invention of the late 20th century. Cool but capable of caring, Wonder Woman devotes her prowess and her powers to teh salvation of rational beings (not always human); and, in her disguise as Diana Prince, she maintains a proud twinkle in her eyes that tells her audience (but never her adversaries) that there is more of importance behind those dowdy glasses than the world will ever know.
