History Awesome / WonderWoman

* ''ComicBook/TheHiketeia'' is a beautiful well executed modern Greek Tragedy, and was tons of fun for those who were sick of the increasingly jerkish and self centered [[FanNickname Bat-God]] of the late 90s/early 2000s. It's especially nice as it is a story that could have been told at no other time, since main-continuity Batman usually would have been more reasonable.

* In the crossover event Our Worlds at War Darkseid proved instrumental to the heroes’ victory. But his powers had been stripped from him, and in order to restore his full strength, Wonder Woman had to give up a piece of her soul, placing it inside Darkseid. Naturally, when the day is won, Darkseid goes on to gloat about how his victory is complete, while Wonder Woman lost hundreds of Amazons in battle and had to give up a piece of her own soul. Looks like things suck for Diana…until Darkseid gets home and he finds himself being uncharacteristically merciful to someone. It turns out that because Wonder Woman now has a piece of her soul in Darkseid, he now has a sliver of compassion in his otherwise black heart. This causes Darkseid to scream in agony. He’s taken hits from Superman and seen terrors beyond human imagining, but the real way to hurt him is to make him a somewhat nice guy.

* Wonder Woman #97, Wonder Woman is infected by a variant of [[SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker Joker Venom]]. Her solution is to call upon the god Pan to "teach her how to dance in Chaos" and thus gain InsanityImmunity.

--> What soliders? ALL of them.

* In "Ends of the Earth", Franchise/WonderWoman started to lose her soul. So what does she do? She teams up with Literature/{{Beowulf}} to kill the freaking [[{{Satan}} devil]] and takes it back.

* In the crossover event Our Worlds at War Darkseid proved instrumental to the heroes’ victory.

Looks like things suck for Diana…until Darkseid gets home.

On Darkseid’s home world of Apokolips, it goes back to business as usual, with him ruling the world with an iron fist. Fifteen issues down the line, inexplicably, he shows mercy to someone he would normally execute with his Omega Beams. It turns out that because Wonder Woman now has a piece of her soul in Darkseid, he now has a sliver of compassion in his otherwise black heart. This causes Darkseid to scream in agony. He’s taken hits from Superman and seen terrors beyond human imagining, but the real way to hurt him is to make him a somewhat nice guy.

** And then she fearlessly leaps into battle against a nigh-invulnerable monster with her sword at the ready. '''THIS is WonderWoman'''.

* In "Gothamazon", by Gail Simone, Batman and his team get taken down by a VillainTeamUp including several of Batman's Rogues Gallery. Oracle calls Wonder Woman in to help keep things under control.

* In the character's first ComicBook/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 Franchise/TheDCU, Franchise/{{Batman}} and Franchise/{{Superman}}. Namely, she doesn't feel bound by ThouShallNotKill and so takes the demigod's head off!
** However, how does she deal with Ares in the climax? She ensnares him with her magic lasso and forces him to see the [[NukeEm logical conclusion to his plans]], which would leave him completely alone [[GodsNeedPrayerBadly and no one left to worship him]]. What does Ares do? '''''He cries.''''' The most badass moment of the storyline is completely and utterly ''non-violent''.

** Also from Greg Rucka's run, she gets Franchise/{{Batman}} to surrender after a one-on-one fight.

* The return of Barbara Minerva as the Cheetah in ''Wonder Woman'' (vol. 2) #206, killing Sebastian Ballesteros and leaving a trap for Diana:

* Her NoHoldsBarredBeatdown of Artemis in The Comicbook/{{New 52}}.

* #41 from 2006 has probably the best moment ever: Wonder Woman vs. Power Girl(the latter being under hypnosis or something).

* It was always pretty cool when Wonder Woman blocked bullets with her bracelets, but the best was in the pilot, when she blocks automatic fire from a Tommy gun.
* She once stopped a jet from taking off by holding onto its wing.
* Then there was the time she stood in front of a moving tank and stopped it dead in its tracks with her bare hands.
