* ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess'' obviously draws a lot of inspiration from Wonder Woman, being about a dark-haired Warrior Princess who gets into adventures fighting Greek gods and monsters in a FeministFantasy and has lesbian subtext. Funnily enough though, thanks to Xena’s popularity, following Wonder Woman media would actually start taking a few cues from her making Diana [[DarkerAndEdgier a more violent battle-hungry character]] who more frequently uses a sword and kills people. Ironically fans would actually accuse DC and Warner Brothers of ripping off Xena, especially when the first images of Creator/GalGadot's [[Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse Wonder Woman]] was revealed, even though Diana predates Xena by multiple decades. See also the trope {{Xenafication}}.
* Just like the original comics, ''Series/TheBoys2019'' has Queen Maeve who dresses in an "Amazon" outfit that's colored red and silver, and includes matching headband, wristbands, and knee-high boots. She has SuperToughness and SuperStrength, but can't fly, so she's either carried into a mission by [[SupermanSubstitute Homelander]] or has to catch up by her own means. She also [[TheAlcoholic has a drinking problem]] which stems from [[spoiler:her public life being controlled by [[Fiction500 the Vought Corporation]] to [[SlaveToPR the last detail]]]], as well as the time [[spoiler:that Homelander convinced her to [[LeaveNoWitnesses ditch an airliner full of passengers that he accidentally disabled]] when they took out the high-jackers]].
* ''Series/{{Moon Knight|2022}}'': [[spoiler: Layla becomes one during the finale after she agrees to be the avatar of the Egyptian goddesses Taweret (similar to how Wondy is empowered by Greek gods). As a result, Layla becomes a FlyingBrick, an inspiration for other women and she even does the signature “bullets and bracelets” trick when Harrow’s mooks shoot at her. She also bears a striking similarity to Isis, the Captain Marvel heroine of DC.]]
* ''Series/TheTick2001'' has Captain Liberty, an {{Expy}} of American Maid from [[WesternAnimation/TheTick the animated series.]]
* Golden Goddess from ''The Guardians of Justice'' fills the role in the titular group, being the setting's strongest superheroine and ruling an extra-dimensional LadyLand.

* Majestic from the ''WesternAnimation /MiraculousLadybug'' episode, "[[Recap/MiraculousLadybugSP01MiraculousWorldNewYork Miraculous World: New York]]" is a FlyingBrick superheroine whomis basically a female Superman. Though WordOfGod said she was meant as a cross between Superman and Wonder Woman.

* Nariko from ''VideoGame/HeavenlySword'' has a few similarities to Wonder Woman especially in the latter’s earlier continuity, she’s the best fighter of her tribe, wears a tiara, and has weapons blessed by the gods and a LesYay bond with another woman. On the flip side she’s a much edgier character than Diana and despite being the daughter of her clan’s leader is an outcast for being born female and isn’t regarded or treated like Princess like Wonder Woman is with her people. Nariko is also very similar to the aforementioned Angela from Marvel as well as Artemis from DC.

* ''Literature/{{Worm}}'': Alexandria fits the bill. An AmozonianBeauty ActionGirl superheroine who is known as one of the most powerful and beloved capes of the world. She has a FlyingBrick powerset and is implied to be TheAgeless, and while she doesn't have Diana's lasso of truth or magical equipment, she makes up for it with SuperIntelligence. ''Alexandria'' even has a classical motif to top it off, her codename initially being Library of Alexandria before being shortened. However, Alexandria is arguably a deconstruction: She is in truth a WellIntentionedExtremist SociopathicHero working for [[NebolousEvilOrganization Cauldron]].

* ''WesternAnimation/DotaDragonsBlood'' has Mirana who’s a dead ringer for Wonder Woman with her tiara, armour, and later LeotardOfPower, in addition to being a princess who serves the gods (or just god singular in Mirana’s case). She’s also a strong physical fighter who leaves/is exiled from her isolated home and like Diana with Steve manages to fall in love with a good man Davion (who himself is reminiscent of [[Characters/BerserkGuts another character]]). On the other hand, Mirana is an archer whereas Diana rarely uses a bow and arrow.

** ComicBook/AmericaChavez is a FlyingBrick princess who hailed from another universe that contained an all-female utopia. She willingly left her world to the main universe because she wanted to be a hero.
** The different versions of Zarda Shelton, a.k.a. Power Princess, from ComicBook/SquadronSupreme. The whole Squadron is based on the Justice League (Hyperion for Superman, Nighthawk for Batman and so on), Zarda being Wondy's analog. The ''ComicBook/HeroesReborn2021'' version of Zarda is even more similar to Wonder Woman than previous incarnations with her costume basically a [[PaletteSwap palette-swapped]] version of the Amazonian princess' traditional garb and her own version of the Lasso of Truth in the form of the Chain of Veracity, which she tries to use it on Hercules.

** ComicBook/LadySif thanks to her {{Xenafication}} from Myth/NorseMythology in ''ComicBook/JourneyIntoMysteryImmonen'' and a InUniverse AdaptationalDyeJob to make Sif’s blonde hair black, she’s extremely reminiscent of Wonder Woman and even wears similar armour with a CoolCrown.

** ComicBook/{{Angela|AsgardsAssassin}}, [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]]’s sister, while less visually obvious than Sif still bares multiple similarities to Wonder Woman being a crown wearing, blade wielding warrioress who’s had relationships with women similar to Diana in the past. She’s also similar to DC’s ComicBook/{{Artemis}}.
** Thundra who debuted in ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'' is very clearly a Wonder Woman {{Expy}} being an AmazonianBeauty with a tiara and rope-like weapon (a chain in her case). Thundra comes from a world where [[LadyLand women are the dominant species]] but unlike Diana (at least most versions of Diana) she has StrawFeminist values that she eventually loses after fighting ComicBook/TheThing and considering him a worthy opponent and reassess her opinion of men. In later comics Thundra even has a relationship with [[ComicBook/SquadronSupreme Hyperion]] who’s fittingly a SupermanSubstitute.

* Big Barda from the ''ComicBook/NewGods'' created in 1971 by Creator/JackKirby. Though Barda exists the same universe as Wonder Woman she has been noted to be very similar, being a StatuesqueStunner and powerful melee fighter who serve as the ActionGirlfriend to their physically weaker partners Steve Trevor and Mister Miracle respectively. Fittingly Barda has frequently been a FriendlyRival to Diana in their several encounters together.

* ComicBook/{{Glory}} from ''Creator/ImageComics'' was always based around Wonder Woman (a Greek demi-goddess [who was also half-demon] who went to Earth and became a superhero), but it became even more blatant once Creator/AlanMoore began writing her. Moore did so through introducing characters based off of Wonder Woman (specifically the [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 the Golden Age version]])'s own supporting cast, like "The Danger Damsels" being counterparts of the Holliday College girls, archenemy Madame Melissa Von Manacle an Expy of Paula Von Gunther and Glory's boyfriend Trevor is also a blatant ComicBook/SteveTrevor copy.

* Isis from the ''ComicBook/CaptainMarvel'' comics, a CanonImmigrant from the TV series is a pretty blatant Wonder Woman-analogue with Greco-Roman origins being swapped for Egyptian mythology. Granted Isis’ powers at least fairly different to Diana with control over nature and telekinesis besides the usual enhanced strength, toughness and flight.

* Freya (no not Marvel’s Freya) from ''Creator/{{Wildstorm}}''’s ''ComicBook/TheAmericanWay'' while she started off as an Thor analogue, she becomes closer to Wonder Woman as comic goes on being an honourable fighter and one of the few members of her team with redeemable traits.

* ''ComicBook/TheMultiversity'' has a few Wondy clones. Earth 34 has Herculina whose outfit is nearly identical to Diana with the only difference being she’s got a Lion helmet. Earth 35 has Venus who is a homage of the aforementioned Glory who was a pastiche of Wonder Woman. Earth 36 has War Woman (not to be confused with ''ComicBook/{{Invincible}}''’s War Woman) like Diana she’s an Amazon blessed by the gods.

** Jakita Wagner is a LongLived attractive dark haired woman who is a super strong hand to hand combatant from ancient civilisation, in this case the Lost City of Opak-Re in Africa. Granted Jakita‘s personality is quite different from Wondy being less patient and more cynical and violent along with a strong dislike of boredom.

* ''ComicBook/BigBangComics'' which is a send up to Golden Age and Silver Age comics has Venus, not to be confused with the aforementioned Multiversity’s Venus [[FountainOfExpies who’s a pastiche of the aforementioned Image Comic’s Glory who’s a ripoff of Wonder Woman]]. Venus also has a lot of inspiration from Thor and (in her “Silver Age” incarnation) the New Gods.

* ''Film/{{Eternals}}'' has Thena a [[Really700YearsOld millennia old]] Greek LadyOfWar who wears a similar outfit complete with CoolCrown and unlike the comics version of Thena fights with a sword and shield (albeit [[SpontaneousWeaponCreation summoned ones]]) just to heighten the parallels with Diana. [[spoiler: By the climax she’s even set against the SupermanSubstitute of the film Ikaris.]] Also a bit of CastingGag since Creator/AngelinaJolie has been approached to play Wonder Woman herself in the past.

* ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess'' obviously draws a lot inspiration from Wonder Woman, being about a dark haired Warrior Princess who gets into adventures fighting Greek gods and monsters in a FeministFantasy and has lesbian subtext. Funnily enough though thanks to Xena’s popularity, following Wonder Woman media would actually start taking a few ques from her making Diana [[DarkerAndEdgier a more violent battle-hungry character]] who more frequently uses a sword and kills people. Ironically fans would actually accuse DC and Warner Brothers of ripping off Xena, especially when the first images of Creator/GalGadot's [[Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse Wonder Woman]] was revealed, even though Diana predates Xena by multiple decades.

She also [[TheAlcoholic has a drinking problem]] which stems from [[spoiler:her public life being controlled by [[Fiction500 the Vought Corporation]] to [[SlaveToPR the last detail]]]], as well as the time [[spoiler:that Homelander convinced her to [[LeaveNoWitnesses ditch an airliner full of passengers that he accidentally disabled]] when they took out the high-jackers]].
* ''Series/{{Moon Knight|2022}}'': [[spoiler: Layla becomes one during the finale after she agrees to be the avatar of the Egyptian goddesses Taweret (similar to how Wondy is empowered by Greek gods). As a result Layla becomes a FlyingBrick, an inspiration for other women and she even does the signature “bullets and bracelets” trick when Harrow’s mooks shoot at her. She also bears striking similarity to Isis, the Captain Marvel heroine of DC.]]

* Damsel from ''Literature/SoonIWillBeInvincible'' is more of a ''ComicBook/WonderGirl'' expy being a second generation superheroine who derives her invincibility from the ability to create forcefields. Though she does fit the role, being the settings most famous superheroine. And one of the main heroes alongside more blatant Superman and Batman expies.

* VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}} is a [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld near 600 year old witch]] born to a clan of mystically empowered women. She has a FriendlyRivalry with her fellow witch Jeanne, who can be considered Bayonetta's equivalent of Artemis. Bayonetta also uses an arsenal of {{Magical Weapon}}s, has a human male love interest whose rescue she frequently comes to and has a very blatant BDSM theme as displayed by her outfit, taunts and [[LimitBreak tortute attacks]]. She even wears glasses just like Wonder Woman often does in her Diana Prince guise.

* The ''VideoGame/SoulSeries'' has Sophitia Alexandra, a female Greek warrior who’s compassionate and brave, leaves her home to fight evil and who prays to the gods for strength and wisdom. Although Sophitia has actually fought with a [[KnightlySwordAndShield sword and shield]] from her debut, whilst Diana has only had that as her main fighting style in more recent comic continuity.
* Nariko from ''VideoGame/HeavenlySword'' has a few similarities to Wonder Woman especially in the latter’s earlier continuity, she’s the best fighter of her tribe, wears a tiara and has weapons blessed by the gods and a LesYay bond with another woman. On the flip side she’s a much edgier character than Diana and despite being the daughter of her clan’s leader is an outcast for being born female and isn’t regarded or treated like Princess like Wonder Woman is with her people. Nariko is also very similar to the aforementioned Angela from Marvel as well as Artemis from DC.

* ''WesternAnimation/SheRaPrincessOfPower'' was inspired by Wonder Woman and Adora shares many similarities to Diana being a super strong warrioress who wears a [[CoolCrown gold headdress]], possesses a CoolSword and [[GirlyBruiser fights in a skirt]] similar to Golden Age Wonder Woman. The [[WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower 2018 show]] if anything strengthens the connection by having Adora be in a lesbian relationship with Catra similar to Wonder Woman’s same sex relationships with Mala and Kaisa in the comics.
* ''WesternAnimation/LeagueOfSuperEvil'' has the hero "Wow Woman", whose abilities and appearance is similar to Wonder Woman, except her outfit being colored green, white, and aqua instead of the usual red, blue, and gold.

* ''WesternAnimation/DotaDragonsBlood'' has Mirana who’s a deadringer for Wonder Woman with her tiara, armour and later LeotardOfPower, in addition being a princess who serves the gods (or just god singular in Mirana’s case). She’s also a strong physical fighter who leaves/is exiled from her isolated home and like Diana with Steve manages to fall in love with a good man Davion (who himself is reminiscent of [[Characters/BerserkGuts another character]]). On the other hand Mirana is an archer whereas Diana rarely uses a bow and arrow.

** ComicBook/{{Angela|AsgardsAssassin}}, ComicBook/{{Thor}}’s sister, while less visually obvious than Sif still bares multiple similarities to Wonder Woman being a crown wearing, blade wielding warrioress who’s had relationships with women similar to Diana in the past. She’s also similar to DC’s ComicBook/{{Artemis}}.

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'': In the episode "Super Zeroes", the girls decide to reimagine themselves heroines. Blossom becomes "Liberty Belle", based on her favorite heroine "Freedom Gal", who is pretty much a blonde Wonder Woman expy.

* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia''’s female BigGood Stars and Stripes is the Wonder Woman expy of TheVerse being a patriotic AmazonianBeauty FlyingBrick who wears a metallic corset and bracelets and similar to modern incarnations of Diana, has some RealityWarper powers. She even has her own signature [[CoolPlane Jet]]. She also bares similarities to ComicBook/{{Stargirl}}.

** Thundra who debuted in ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'' is very clearly a Wonder Woman {{Expy}} being an AmazonianBeauty with a tiara and rope-like weapon (a chain in her case). Thundra comes from a world where [[LadyLand women are the dominant species]] but unlike Diana (at least most versions of Diana) she has StrawFeminist values that she eventually loses after fighting ComicBook/TheThing and considering him a worthy opponent and reassess her opinion of men. In later comic Thundra even has a relationship with [[ComicBook/SquadronSupreme Hyperion]] who’s fittingly a SupermanSubstitute.

* ''ComicBook/BigBangComics'' which is a send up to Golden Age and Silver Age comics has Venus, not to be confused with the aforementioned Multiversity’s Venus [[FountainOfExpies who’s a pastiche of the aforementioned Image Comic’s Glory who’s a ripoff of Wonder Woman]].

** ComicBook/LadySif thanks to her {{Xenafication}} from Myth/NorseMythology in ''ComicBook/JourneyIntoMysteryImmonen'' and a InUniverse AdaptationalDyeJob to make Sif’a blonde hair black, she’s extremely reminiscent of Wonder Woman and even wears similar armour with a CoolCrown.

** The fan setting "World Half Empty"/"World Too Far) (on the now-defunct ''M&M'' discussion boards, Internet archive copy [[https://web.archive.org/web/20111225091734/http://atomicthinktank.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=36026 here]]) had an interesting attempt at a RareMaleExample (presumably to counterbalance the setting's female SupermanSubstitute) with Sir Perceval, who left an extradimensional version of [[Myth/ArthurianLegend Camelot]] to quest in the modern world. The parallel was most obvious with his rogue's gallery, which included the sorceress Morgana la Fey (ComicBook/{{Circe}}), Herne the Hunter, an eco-terrorist who transformed himself into a beastman (ComicBook/{{Cheetah}}), and Mr Toxic, a sadistic MasterPoisoner (Dr Poison).

** The fan setting "World Half Empty" (it was on the now-defunct ''M&M'' discussion boards) had an interesting attempt at a RareMaleExample (presumably to counterbalance the setting's female SupermanSubstitute) with the Green Knight, who left an extradimensional version of [[Myth/ArthurianLegend Camelot]] to quest in the modern world. The parallel was most obvious with his rogue's gallery, which included the sorceress Morgana la Fey (ComicBook/{{Circe}}) and an eco-terrorist who transformed himself into a beastman (ComicBook/{{Cheetah}}).

* ‘’Series/TheTick2001’’ has Captain Liberty, an {{Expy}} of American Maid from [[WesternAnimation/TheTick the animated series.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/DotaDragonsBlood'' has Mirana who’s a deadringer for Wonder Woman with her tiara, armour and later LeotardOfPower, in addition being a princess who serves the gods (or just god singular in Mirana’s case).
