Wonder Woman (Earth-Two) - Powers and Abilities

Powers and Abilities

The Earth-Two Wonder Woman had superhuman speed, strength, agility and accuracy. Her superhuman speed and agility were as fast as the god Mercury but usually less than the pre-Crisis Earth-Two Flash (Jay Garrick) as shown during her battle with Garrick when she was possessed by the Stream of Ruthlessness. She was able to leap 40 ft, a record for the Amazons.

Originally she was immortal. But in order to remain in "man's world" after her mission was deemed over by her mother, she had to give up her immortality to remain in her chosen area and began to age as a normal human.

She also had the ability to glide on the wind currents. She needed air currents in order to do this feat and had to be at a much higher locale than that of the locale she wished to travel to by such gliding. She could NOT jump up into the open air high enough to launch herself in this gliding ability, unlike Kal-L who could attain flight from a standing position. She rarely used this gliding ability, preferring to mostly depend on her advanced invisible plane to travel long distances at extensive speeds.

Attributed to be imbued with the strength of Hercules, the Earth-Two Wonder Woman had superhuman strength levels where she was seen ripping locked steel doors off their bolts and lifting elephants off the ground with ease. While she was extensively strong, she was routinely shown to be far less than that of the pre-Crisis Earth-Two Superman Kal-L. She was more resistant then a human, an electric charge that could have killed a normal human only knocked her out. Diana frequently demonstrated knowledge of every terrestrial language, as well as advanced scientific knowledge. She was once shown hypnotizing Etta Candy's brother, Mint, although her Magic Lasso (unlike the Modern version) allowed her complete mind control over others, once she even hypnotized someone into taking another identity. Her Amazon training gave her extensive hand-to-hand combat skills, particularly when it came to wrestling and binding opponents. She was also able to telepathically communicate with the Holiday Girls using a mental radio, which could also be used by Etta Candy, and had knowledge of psychology that could heal minds. She also had magnetic hearing due to her earrings, which were given to her by the Venusian fairy Queen Desira for stopping the Metor Men attacking her planet, and allow her to contact her.

Famous quotes containing the words powers and/or abilities:

    I have come slowly into possession of such powers as I have ... I receive the opinions of my day. I do not conceive them. But I receive them into a vivid mind.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    A child is born with the potential ability to learn Chinese or Swahili, play a kazoo, climb a tree, make a strudel or a birdhouse, take pleasure in finding the coordinates of a star. Genetic inheritance determines a child’s abilities and weaknesses. But those who raise a child call forth from that matrix the traits and talents they consider important.
    Emilie Buchwald (20th century)
