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.
Would it matter to you Wonder Woman Date a Woman
Like I've said before, while I don't necessarily think she's bi and I know she's not a lesbian I do feel like Amazon's would have a different view of sexuality that would make this not wierd, so no I don't care.........but I prefer she goes with Trevor
Considering she grew up in a society of only women, a society that looks down on man and goes out of its way to seclude itself from them, I'm actually surprised it hasn't been stated she's at least bi... I mean, if you're raised in a society where there's only one gender, you'd think your views would be a little different than elsewhere.

I agree. As an ancient Greek, I doubt Wonder Woman is particularly interested in labeling her sexuality. But I would like to see her get romantically involed with someone, man or woman.
I wouldn't mind, might even prefer it, but I honestly always thought the Amazons should be asexual. It'd be cool if they devoted themselves to self and cultural betterment then when WW comes to the outside world, she is introduced to the world of sex for the first time. That might be a more mature theme than a rated T comic book should have though.

High five. Couldn't agree more.
IF! wonder woman ever! dated a other woman, what i would do is (100% Seriously) going wild with my money and start to BUY wonder woman comic and not reading them online :D
Yes because it would me the industry thinks that a woman can't be strong without being a lesbian, and that's a bad message.

i'm sorry but this is the dumbest thing ive ever read/heard.
on topic: trevor is a lie. there are 0 chances of a woman growing in an all female island with no interraction with man to not be at least bisexual. she would have been the logic choice for the reveal than alan scott.

What do you mean by "strong" ? Strength or Mentality ? Storm (Ororo Monroe) - for example - stands by herself, she's a leader and is not a lesbian.
Powergirl is physically strong, and she's not a lesbian neither. Rogue(as Miss Marvel) was strong in both senses, and wasnt a lesbian neither.
it wouldn't bother me if it was written correctly, it would be really hard to write correctly though as she has about 40 years of being written as heterosexual in the golden age and another 25 years of being written as either uninterested in romance, or interested in the occasional man since then.
Yes, because I want Diana to be with Steve Trevor and we already got one hot lesbian top selling book - Batwoman, so I dont see a point to turn every female lesbian.
I want to vote that it would matter because I think it would be a good thing. But I have a feeling that that's not what people will read a "yes" vote as.
@TheCrowbar: If there's an under representation of strong straight women in comics then that's because women themselves are underrepresented in comics. That doesn't seem like a good reason to not have strong lesbian women.

Mentality.
Storm doesn't stand by herself what so ever. She's a horrible character.
Power Girl, who I've been a long time fan of, isn't the same Power Girl from before the DCnU. If we could have her back I'd love it and really wouldn't care about it.
Rogue hasn't been a strong character since the whole love triangle crap happened. I'm not talking about the industry of the past because those days are behind us, looking at comic book females now, they're one extreme or the other there's no balance.

Who we already have in Batwoman. Though I do agree with your former point. Women are too background in comics at the moment.
Like always my main concern is the story, and if the story was good I could accept it. I makes sense that Wonder Woman would be comfortable expressing affection to other women due to her upbringing.
That being said I think it would be a MAJOR stunt if DC did this and might not have a long tern benefit despite any short term interest created by this.

TC, I think the point is that we should have more of both. They should not say no to more bi and lesbian characters because they already hit a quota or something. Batwoman is a great character. So is Renee Montoya. And Scandal Savage. They could also bring back characters like Grace Choi and Thunder if they wanted. But none of that should mean they shouldn't have more, and I think it's perfectly reasonable for a literal Amazon to deal with sapphic themes.
Again, I'd want to see how it was handled before judging it, but we're still in the opening stages of a revamp and so far we've learned that she 1) doesn't dig Steve Trevor and 2) doesn't dig Hades, and that's about all we know about her orientation. They could still go that route if they wanted.
