From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Wonder Woman is a DC Comics superhero created by William Moulton Marston. She is the best known of the female superheroes.

William Moulton Marston was an educational consultant in 1940 for Detective Comics, Inc.(now better known as DC Comics). Marston saw that the DC line filled with images of super men such as Green Lantern, Batman, and their flagship character Superman. Seeing all these male heroes, Marston was left wondering why there was not a female hero.
