I agree with those who think she already has plenty of power. And I'm shocked that only @rdclip mentioned the lasso! Being able to force others to tell the truth, as well as her other powers, all make sense within the context of her character, which is what's most important. Along those lines, she also has the "powers" of wisdom, beauty, and love. Those are the kinds of things that make for good stories and that make the character iconic rather than just setting her up for the occasional splash page. Adding more powers just to add them would be a huge mistake.

Part of what makes Wonder Woman so great is that in some way or another, all women can relate to her. If she shows up suddenly shooting lightning from her hands or creating force fields, women will find it more difficult to relate. Diana's true powers lie in her wisdom and ability to defy her opponents without relying on anything other than the gifts the gods have given her.
Actually I kinda like how she has no 'attack' powers. It makes her rely more on the warrior/fighting skills she has and subsequently results in Wonder Woman being an even more deadlier foe than Superman...
You would think after Man of Steel and a whole new generation of Lois Lane fans, that DC would capitalise on it and finally give in to what everyone wants and put Lois and Clark back together...
but no.
I would normally be really excited for this if they weren't a couple. But they are. Which sucks.
Granted when I read it I had no idea what was happening BUT I've come to expect that from Morrison anyway and I can't deny how awesome it honestly is. Which is why I'm gonna reread it before seeing Man of Steel.
