If
a woman is as beautiful and sexy as both Lindsay Wagner and Lynda
Carter, TV's Bionic and Wonder Woman, she already has an invincible set
of weapons at her disposal. A little bit of flattery from a pair of
bewitching, eyes, and many men are more devastated than they would be
from the most on-target karate chop. But these two super-women have more
than great looks at their command. They've got superhuman strength
that's camouflaged by their feminine appearances. After all, neither is
built like Mr. Universe—how do they manage feats that would make Joe
Namath crumple? |
Wonder Woman has a host of special gadgets to
help her out. Her creator, psychologist William Moulton Marston combined
Greek myths and tales of the Amazons to invent a character he describes
as: "beautiful as Aphrodite, wise as Athena, stronger than Hercules and
swifter than Mercury." He also gave her a golden magic lasso,
bullet-stopping bracelets and an invisible airplane that carries her
through both space and time. |
