* Diana manipulating Strife to take her back to Paradise Island near the climax of Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang's run.
* An OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: the First Born amassed a huge army to lay siege on Paradise Island and he was largely winning, with Diana needing to teleport to Mt. Olympus with Zeke, Zola and Hermes.

* Diana, having been frustrated by Steve Trevor's misguided, drunken attempt to kiss her, is accosted by a gang of thugs. She refuses to give them anything and instead asks for an apology "for contributing to my current disillusionment with Man". Naturally, the leader of the thugs scoffs and tries to shoot her. After blocking said bullets, she proceeds to ''utterly annihilate'' the thugs. And she ''gets'' that apology.
* Steve Trevor gets one towards the end of the movie, when Ares' army is smashing everything in sight - like the Lincoln Memorial, which they tear the head off of. Steve pulls out his gun and storms towards them.

* In the character's first PostCrisis storyline, Diana is fighting the progeny of Ares, Deimos, and is ensnared by his beard of snakes. Seeing her mortal friends being overwhelmed and she must save them, Diana shows a new ''big'' difference compared to her compatriots of TheDCU, {{Batman}} and {{Superman}}. Namely, she doesn't feel bound by ThouShallNotKill and so takes the god's head off!

** UpToEleven when in one episode, she is being mind-controlled and takes on Black Canary, Huntress, Hawkgirl, and Vixen single-handedly. It's pretty one-sided until the signal that's controlling her stops her right before she bashes Vixen and Hawkgirl's heads together.

* During Greg Rucka's run, already full of awesome, one moment stands out: Diana faces Medusa in an arena match. The gorgon has already petrified the child of one of Diana's employees, so ItsPersonal. And it gets worse: [[BigBad Circe]] has enchanted TV systems across the world, and if Wonder Woman loses, tens of millions of people get turned to stone with her. Right as it looks as though she's about to lose, she takes one of Medusa's severed hair-snakes '''[[EyeScream and blinds herself]].''' Then she takes Medusa's head off with one slice.

* More for the writer than the character: At the end of a story that involved a female villain with female {{Mooks}}, a fellow Amazon didn't understand why those women would work for the villain. Wonder Woman explained that she didn't understand the women in "Man's World": Many of them wanted to be slaves, not having the courage to take control of their lives and compete with men. Keep in mind that a man wrote this. ''In the 1940s.'' I am officially a fan of Mr. Marston now, and hope a YamatoNadeshiko or two was pissed off enough by it to make a few changes.

* One comparatively low-key moment: Diana's coworker at the Taco Whiz (long story) has a daughter she can't afford to send to a prestigious school. The father is a deadbeat who also works for a mob boss. Diana gets the child support checks coming by ''camping out in the boss's office and answering his phone''.
--> Hello, yes. This is Mr. Sazia's residence. I'm afraid he can't come to the phone right now. Me? I am Wonder Woman. And who might... hmm. They hung up.
