Wonder Woman
Character » Wonder Woman appears in 8804 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.
Wonder Woman Makeup Era
Interesting topic. I don't think there's anything wrong with Diana choosing to experiment with makeup after she's left Paradise Island. Heck, I'm sure even Paradise Island had some form of cosmetics, though probably nothing like what the modern west uses. The above looks like a little lip color and some eye shadow. That's not exactly overboard as I understand it (which I admit isn't much).
I'm not sure why you don't like the rest of her outfit though. Have you been to many heavy metal concerts? Sure, it's mostly long hair, jeans, and black t-shirts, but for girls especially more elaborate get-ups are not that uncommon. Goth scene costumes are even more elaborate. I thought it was an interesting cross between her heroic uniform and what some girls wear to metal concerts.
It's an interesting point, I don't think I considered it until you mentioned it, and applicable to many super-heroines especially while on the job perhaps as well. fodigg pretty much said what came to my mind. A lot of make-up, and yes guyz too boys, started as sort of a battle tradition among warriors. It's plausible they could have had an depicted form as such, and societies consumer based products make just as much sense to her naturally as they stem from similar origins and possibly the same in her universe. Personally I want to see her in clown make-up, just once. (:
Well,I don't think Wonder Woman would need to put make-up on or that she'd ever wanted to-for what reason?
