He constructed the first version in 1915 and published his findings in 1917. Invented one of the first “modern” lie detector tests after realizing how people's blood pressure changed when they were lying. HER CREATOR ALSO INVENTED AN EARLY LIE DETECTOR TEST. Interestingly enough, sandals eventually showed up on the cover of a 1951 issue when she got an image makeover. She thought a skirt was impractical for combat, and he insisted on boots over the sandals that had been suggested. LeClear adds that the original costume design "had a fully Grecian look with sandals" that was rejected by both the character's creator, William Moulton Marston, and his wife Elizabeth, upon whom she was based. It really did start out as a form of elaborate shorts," LeClear says. "Sometimes it's because of taste, and other times because it's a lot easier to draw. "But it's so flowy and loose on the bottom that it flows in the early versions very much like a skirt." Over time, and on more than one occasion, the garment was shortened. While several images make it look like she is wearing a skirt, they are actually culottes, split pants that vary from thigh to knee length.
"It's just mind-boggling." She initially had psychic powers like telepathy and astral projection, and she became invulnerable to electric shocks. "Superman was first, Batman was second, and Wonder Woman did it in less than a year from the moment she was first created," DC Comics archivist and librarian Benjamin LeClear tells mental_floss. Her next appearance followed just a few weeks later in Sensation Comics #1 (dated January 1942), and she was one of the first superhero characters to get her own book, in the summer of 1942. But her then-publisher All-American Publications knew that they had something great. When Wonder Woman debuted in All-Star Comics #8 (dated December 1941, released in October 1941), she took the comics world by storm.
The woman who left her Amazonian home on Paradise Island to look after military officer Steve Trevor and aid him in his fight against the Nazis has grown through some amazing adventures since then. So Mental Floss asked DC Comics to dig deep into her history for some fascinating facts about the warrior goddess who deflects bullets with her gauntlets, wields the golden Lasso of Truth, and fights all manner of man and beast in her globe-spanning adventures. Shirking the passive portrayal of women as typists, librarians, or young girls in love (at least most of the time), she was a butt-kicking, take-charge champion of justice who very quickly became a star and holds her place next to the likes of Superman and Batman as one of the longest running superhero characters of all time. She's the Amazonian superhero who changed the world when she first emerged in late 1941.
