 Many
of us would like to be something we're not - smarter, taller,
superhuman in strength. All we can do is dream - and watch
superhumans perform in Wonder Woman, The Bionic Woman, The Six
Million Dollar Man, even the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise in
Star Trek. |

|
These
people are always "In charge." They are not bound by
the weaknesses of ordinary humans, but have been given great
powers. And they use those powers to overcome evil. They have
almost no limits. They are powerful and so they make us feel
powerful too. |

ZAP!
goes Wonder Woman - the bad guys haven't a chance. WHACK! goes
the Bionic Woman - down goes the steel door. CRASH! goes the Six
Million Dollar Man, running at incredible speed toward a
speeding car. If we can't do these things ourselves,
we can at least enjoy watching the Super Heroes in action. |

 WONDER
WOMAN |
|
| Lynda
Carter was an awkward, gangly girl who turned into a beauty
queen. Now she's the star of Wonder Woman. The series is based
on a comic strip which first appeared in newspapers in 1942 and
is still read in comic books sold around the world. Now, on TV,
we can see our innocent-looking heorine turn into a powerful
javelin-thrower after just one quick spin. |
