    I like how in the old comics they’d give the superhero some weakness that would negate their powers.

    For Green Lantern it was the color yellow. For the Martian Manhunter it was fire. For Wonder Woman it was being tied up.*

    *Wasn’t sure if I remembered it right so I did a search. Over a million entries for ‘Wonder Woman tied up.’ Lotta comic fans out there.

      WWs creator was a fairly well known bondage enthusiast. It’s not a secret, the only mystery is why DC decided to make it a part of her canon lore, even to this day.

        I don’t know, that kind of makes her cooler to me. She’s always been kinda like “the girly Superman” to me (I know, I know, Supergirl, etc…). She’s just…bleh. Boring. But I was always an X-Men and Batman kid. And The Tick!

        I turned the “safe search” filter off so I can really get all the answers.

        From my research, it appears that being tied up and naked is her weakness. She seems to be in a lot of distress, so much so they typically have to use some sort of gag in her mouth to prevent her screams of agony.

        Sometimes the villains incorporate machines with wands on the end? Not sure if that is part of the process? More research is required.
