Donna Troy: Wonder Girl / Troia Appreciation 2020

[Primal Slayer]

Its funny, as th atrsvwhatbi don't want. When she was a young Wonder Girl? Sure. But like Tempest, Arsenal, Nightwing, they've become their own heroes. The lasso and bracelets are enough of a tie in to Diana. I feel the same about Nubia, generally speaking. While a wonder woman, I prefer her to have her own look and not just be in WW armor like it's some GL corps....

I can agree with that, I guess for me since when it comes to WW sidekicks, they are often so far removed from Diana that it feels like the average person wouldn't know where Donna Troy hails from.

I suspect this is why the writers like to have them wear similar costumes. It's like the question of why Supergirl dresses like Superman.... From an in-universe PoV she doesn't need to. But it works well for marketing.

I disagree, I think Diana, Donna, Artemis, Nubia and Cassie should all have bracelets and individual lassos with different abilities. Lassos in the Wonder Woman Family should be as ubiquitous as batarangs in Batman's.

Yeah, I really like this idea too!

Just like we have so many Lantern rings, having x amount of lassos would be a cool storyline.

Donna has been shown deflecting bullets from her early Wonder Girl days as a Teen Titan and again in New Teen Titans. There's some lovely George Perez images showing her skill. As Troia, I believe it was Secret Files where Diana commented that Donna retained the speed of Hermes as they trained together at Bullets and Bracelets. Post Rebirth, Donna was seen deflecting bullets in Titans while fighting alongside Roy Harper (don't remember the specific issue) right before she grabbed the gun from the assailant and crushed it.

A cool moment was in INJUSTICE COMIC when Cassie saved Conner from a kryptonite bullet, with her bracelets.

Pre-Flashpoint everyone had their own lasso:
Diana: Lasso of truth
Donna:Lasso of submission
Cassie:Lasso of lightning

NEW52 Cassie also had her own lasso which was used to drain life-energy of someone..

Hmmmm, for me it should be Diana, Donna and Cassie with bracelets and lassos. Nubia should be the sword and shield, Artemis bow and arrow. I don't need the lassos to be another version of power rings. Too many lassos spoils the broth! Lol. ( oh and bracelets for all of course)

[Agent Z]

Donna and Cassie already have the issue of having the same power set as Diana and in Donna's case looking too much like her. Giving everyone a lasso is redundant and even in the Bat and Superfamilies there is some variety in weapons and power sets.

Agreed. No one complains about the Superman Family having almost identical power sets or the Flash Family.

Those complaints have been made actually.

I spend a lot of time on the Superman and Batman boards and have seen little to no complaints re this.

I can assure you it happens a lot. I have seen no less than five threads with arguments that the Batfamily are "redundant" and "take away from what makes Batman awesome". Similar arguments are made about Superman and there being other living Kryptonians.

Well, in the "Supermen of America" team only 3 of them were Kryptonians. You also had Steel, Iron Munro, and Livewire.
