Superman has Superboy and Supergirl
Batman has Robin and Batgirl
Aquaman has Aqualad and Aquagirl
Flash has Kid Flash and Impulse
Wonder Woman has Wondergirl and...
Doesn't seem like she's being fair to me. You may say that she only trains Amazons, but Cassie Sandsmark is no an Amazon. She's a demigod. I'm sure Wonder Woman could find a good male apprentice if she wanted to.
Wonder Woman
Character » Wonder Woman appears in 8808 issues.
The Amazon princess, blessed with god-like super abilities, Wonder Woman is one of Earth's most powerful defenders of peace, justice, and equality and a member of the Justice League. She is considered an archetype for many heroines outside of comic book. Her initial origin depicted her as a clay baby brought to life by patron goddess Aphrodite, but in recent years she has been depicted as the daughter of Zeus and Amazon queen Hippolyta.
Why does she have no male sidekicks?
It's because she is an amazon and on Themiscira there are only females. Her orgin makes it really hard for her to have a male sidekick.
I like Wonder Woman solo better anyways.
Because a teenage boy wouldn't last 10 seconds on Themiscira without making everyone there want to kill him.
Well, others have been talking about the idea of Wonder Boy on this forum, but I don't see the problem of not having one. And as Aztec brought up, even if he was just joking, J'onn doesn't have a male sidekick either.
I think the Themescara Post is most accurate but it does not go into further detail - Wonder Woman has 2 sidekicks - just since her origin and her storyline is from an all female island it makes sense to have her sidekicks be female. Wonder Woman has Wonder Girl and..... Donna Troy!
And the holiday girls previously, in V3 we've got Etta Candy still here , and her amazons sisters in case things just become way too heavy to handle. She doesn't have a male sidekick cause she doesn't need it, wonder girl became wonder girl of her own will ( Cassandra Sandsmark from the V2 ), and Donna Troy have 3 differents origin, as a sister, as an orphan rescued and as a duplicate of WW. In any case exept less with the orphan one, it was not WW willpower to make her a sidekick. And maybe he doesn't count as a sidekick but (post crisis) her invisible plane/ aka Wonderdome now, is an alien morphing crystal with though, even if WW treats him as lifeless. And he's pretty usefull as a sidekick ~ ~ in this dome we also found some males (ok mi male-mi animals from mythology but there's some male in them ^^ who gives her advice and rescue her when she's hurt). She's got a V3 Tom who covers for her too, he reminds me of Steve sometimes but that's just too bad...-_-
I think one could argue that Steve Trevor was a sidekick, though that might be a bit of a stretch. Besides, what boy wouldn't get in trouble staring at various areas and end up on her bad side really quickly? I am a grown man and would fall into that trap almost instantly.
I think it's like asking 'Why doesn't Batman have a sidekick with super powers?'. Because the thing about Batman is that he's a well trained athlete, so his sidekicks will be the same. Wonder Woman is an amazon (who are exclusively female) so her sidekicks are the same. Superman's sidekicks are Kryptonian or part Kryptonian. J'onn's a martian so his sidekick (though I'd call her more of a protege since they don't really hang out) is also martian, and since they're the only two surviving non-villainous martians out there there probably never will be a Martian Boy-hunter.
she needs a little boy in her life!........................................................................
