    Wonder Girl

    Character » Wonder Girl appears in 1335 issues.

    Cassandra Sandsmark was originally the daughter of Olympian God Zeus and Dr. Helena Sandsmark. She became the second Wonder Girl in an attempt to save Wonder Woman's life. Cassie continues adventuring as a member of the Teen Titans. Her New 52 incarnation is the daughter of Wonder Woman's half-brother Lennox, and derives her powers from an ancient armor named the 'Silent Armor' related to the demon Trigon.

    Am I the only one who likes Cassie better than Donna?

    I think Cassie has a lot more personality than Donna, and is a lot more realistic. And she doesn't have ten million different origins. Back in her Young Justice days, Cassie was actually really smart. Whereas Donna has always been written as shallow and not particularly bright. Back when she was in the Teen Titans, Donna was a boy-crazy idiot.

    I still prefer Donna, at least when she was Wonder Girl and wore the classic red uniform. I think Donna's "shallowness" in her Teen Titan days was partially due to the time period she was written in. Cassie hasn't exactly been immune to boy-craziness either. 


    I'll give Cassie this though: At least she never married Terry Long, one of the lamest male love interests in the history of comics.

    Okay they forgot the aesthetics gene.

    Diana trumps them both.

    But yes, if I had to choose, Donna would be it.

    I think it's easier to prefer characters you first got to know.  So I knew about Donna & Diana but I'd never read any of their adventures.  I got to know Cassie through Young Justice... so I love her more than the others.  She was just an awkward kid who was trying to be a hero, and there was a certain level of empathy there.  Not so much any more... but she's still my favourite out of the Wonder Women.

    Someone can't read.  At least two people do.  That's two more people than 'no-one'.

    whatever, just expressing my personal opinion. I didn't mind her at first, but after everything with her involving Conner, Tim and Ravager I am not a fan anymore

    I am so tired of this @Quote bug.  Anyway, SUNMAN, you didn't give a personal opinion at first, you stated something as if it were fact.  However, I genuinely do agree with you... when you actually did give an opinion.  It's sad to see a character written into an empty stereotype.  As if all teenage girls only exist to date one bad choice after another.

    Donna Troy should never have existed in the first place. She was only created as a result of an editor or writers's mistake in assuming that Wonder Girl was Wonder Woman's sidekick rather than Wonder Woman herself.

    The interesting thing is that although Donna is a Silver Age character, most Silver Age fans don't seem to like her. Most of the people who like her seem to be Modern Ager fans. Why is that, I wonder?

    So? That's an interesting bit of trivia, but I don't see how it supports the argument that Cassie is a better character. Plenty of things come about accidentally or unintentionally, both in fiction and reality. It doesn't make them any less legitimate once they exist.

    I'm sure that's due to the 1980's debut of the 'New' Teen Titans by Wolfman and Perez. A lot of people didn't "discover" the Teen Titans, or the character of Donna Troy, until the 1980's.

    Because all of the New Titans were great characters because Marv Wolfman is good at writing comic books.

    Like Jetshade says, that's the reason modern comics audiences like her, whereas in the Silver Age, she was just Wonder Woman's sidekick who was also on this other super team.

    For some reason or another I'm much more familiar with Casse,so I sort of turn towards her naturally.

    I like Cassie better as a Wonder Girl. 
     
    That being said, I like Donna for what she's become on her own. 
     
    Its interesting, of all the original Titans, 3 have become their mentors at some point.  Dick is the current Batman, Wally is Flash, and Donna was Wonder Woman during the one-year gap.  Even Roy has taken a costume that resembles his predecessor's more closely.

    Cassie needs to stop being written as the third wheel all the time imo.  
     
    I like her but she suffers from oh lol lol it's Superboys old lady nagging at him again syndrome and other lazy writing flaws .  
     
    At least now she has the chance to go out and kick ass and make a name for herself again until the next bad writer comes along. 
     
    Cassie has alot more potential than Donna Troy and thats coming from someone who grew up reading Donna Troy.

    I prefer Cassie a lot more, I just think that she's a better character, she's also a bit more modern.
