Wonder Woman is a powerful leader and warrior. Her strength, speed, near invulnerability to physical harm, and equipment (particularly her golden lasso) make her a strong character. She is part of the DC “trinity,” along with Batman and Superman, and is a founder of the Justice League, humanity’s defense against powerful threats.
