He is rescued by Princess Diana and learns of the war against the Nazis. The Amazons decide to send one of their own to help fight in this crisis. Although forbidden to participate in the selection process, Diana joins secretly and wins the right and responsibility to go. Taking the still unconscious Major to safety, she joins him as Yeoman Diana Prince. Furthermore, when the forces of evil threaten the nation, Diana would spin to transform into Wonder Wonder, armed with a magic belt giving her tremendous strength, bracelets that can stop any bullet, a tiara that can be thrown as a returning weapon and a unbreakable magic lasso that can force anyone to tell the truth. After WW II, she returned to the Island, only to encounter Steve Trevor Jr., agent for IADC, thirty years later. Seeing the amazing coincidence as a sign, she returns to the Man world once more to resume her role as the greatest of the female superheroes. Written by Kenneth Chisholm {kchishol@execulink.com}”

Trivia: Warner Bros. attempted several spin-offs from characters in the Wonder Woman series. Actress Debra Winger was offered her own “Wonder Girl” series, but opted out as she wanted to perform in serious roles. A similar series was proposed for actress Julie Anne Haddock for her role as the also super powered girl from the episode “The Girl From Islandia”, actress Sheryl Lee Ralph who appeared in the episode “The Starships Are Coming” was approached to play another super hero, as was Bob Seagren for his role in the episode “The Man Who Could Not Die”. Alas, the last three proposals never made it past the approval stage.

Goofs: Continuity: In “Fausta, The Nazi Wonder Woman”, there are two Wonder Woman transformations. After both of them, Wonder Woman doesn’t have her bracelets, though she’s wearing them in the following scenes. One of these transformation sequence is used again in “Wonder Woman meets Baroness Von Gunther”.
