Diana and Armor

[LordUltimus]

When should she need it and why?

Also, should her usual outfit count as armor?

[AmiMizuno]

It's due to the armor she grew up in. She does it when things get serious. So she doesn't need to wear it often.

Considering how fallible her bullet deflection has been written by various creators (she almost dies from a ricochet in JL, for example) while Batman and Aquaman are bulletproof, I think it's time she got armor at least as good as Batman's, if not better.

Either that or she needs to be written as better/faster/tougher.

[AmiMizuno]

Which she should be. It's strange how much they say she has a faster reaction than Superman yet never does anything. I do think she should be bulletproof. Bullets can pass her but she won't die due to her healing. It still hurts.

What about weapons like nukes?

To be fair, that's only been stated once. For the most part, Superman is stronger, faster, smarter, better than Wonder Woman in every conceivable way. Sometimes, even his eyes are bluer than hers

[AmiMizuno]

What about nukes? DIana has been able to survive nukes and bombs before. She can heal herself completely. I mean how smarter should Clark be to Diana? I mean as wisdom as Atehna should me something. Than again They both should be smarter than each other in different ways.

I meant if she was immune to nukes, she should be immune to bullets.

And if the answer is that she has a Wolverine level healing factor, then that's not all that different from being invulnerable.

I don't think that's completely accurate based on, among other things, Marston's explicit statement that Wonder Woman was created to be the female Superman. It's the other men in DC's publication history that have ignored this and made Wonder Woman as less than Kal. See the quote below from a New Yorker article at https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2...2/last-amazon:

"'Do you think these fantastic comics are good reading for children?' she asked.

Mostly, yes, Marston said. They are pure wish fulfillment: 'And the two wishes behind Superman are certainly the soundest of all; they are, in fact, our national aspirations of the moment—to develop unbeatable national might, and to use this great power, when we get it, to protect innocent, peace-loving people from destructive, ruthless evil.'

Gaines decided to hire Marston as a consultant. Marston convinced Gaines that what he needed, to counter the critics, was a female superhero."

I think that was the intent, but most writers seem to not follow through since they seem to be convinced that Superman must be so powerful he can easily crush the rest of the League whenever he wants.
