12	ComicBook/WonderWoman is more than well known for being [[TropeCodifier the first comic book superheroine]] and for setting the stage for more female heroes to come after her, whether as original characters or a DistaffCounterpart to a male hero. However, some comic writers in other companies take some inspiration from the character herself when creating their own superhero universe. Indeed, most creators often copy from Diana's origins, powers, costume, and even her whole supporting cast to make essentially an {{Expy}}.
13
14	Across various comic companies, there are many a CaptainErsatz of Wonder Woman in some form. No matter if this character in question is played straight, parodied, or deconstructed, [[FountainOfExpies there will be a female superhero that takes cues from the Amazing Amazon]].
15
16	These characters often include the following traits:
17	* They hail from a LadyLand or just generally a [[HiddenElfVillage magical society hidden from humanity]] and is generally inspired by various [[{{Mythology}} Myths]] (mostly Myth/ClassicalMythology). Also, but not always, should be [[RebelliousPrincess a princess]] or [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething royalty]] of some kind.
18	* Is either a DefectorFromParadise or even a DefectorFromDecadence.
19	* They are BornOfMagic (not all, but generally)
20	* They are [[TheAgeless functionally immortal]], if not straight-up [[DeityofHumanOrigin divine in some fashion.]]
21	* Is either a FlyingBrick or a LightningBruiser. Sometimes, they may [[BadassNormal not have powers at all]].
22	* Is usually an AmazonianBeauty.
23	* Can be a CaptainPatriotic [[ImmigrantPatriotism of some kind]].
24	* Can either be straight, AmbiguouslyBi, explicitly UsefulNotes/{{Bisexual}} or a [[AdaptationalSexuality lesbian]]. Generally is involved in a MayflyDecemberRomance.
25	* Wears a LeotardOfPower with ([[CombatStilettos sometimes heeled]]) red boots (or even a variation of her original [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks Golden Age]] [[EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference outfit]]).
26	* Carries around [[KnowsTheRopes a magic lasso]] (that may or may not [[LivingLieDetector compel others to tell the truth when bound]]), [[MadeOfIndestructium bullet-deflecting bracelets]] and/or (sometimes) [[HeroesPreferSwords a magic]] [[AbsurdlySharpBlade sword]].
27	* Can either be a TechnicalPacifist, a MartialPacifist, or a BloodKnight.
28	* If played straight (or even parodied), is an AllLovingHero.
29	* Has a supporting cast and RoguesGallery similar to Wonder Woman.
30	* If a [[CosmicMotifs Cosmic Motif]] is present, it will most likely be of stars.

39	* [[https://youtu.be/EBsGyQhVOxU This]] Volkswagen [=SUV=] advert starts with a kid attending a premiere of a movie about a blue-clad superheroine who's clearly based on Wonder Woman.
40	[[/folder]]
41
42	[[folder:Anime and Manga]]
43	* From Anime/ProjectAKo: Eiko Magami’s parents are [[LawyerFriendlyCameo Lawyer Friendly Cameos]] of Superman and Wonder Woman. The manga adaptation even calls them Diana and Clark.
44	* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia''’s female BigGood Star and Stripe 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]] like Wondy. She also bares similarities to ComicBook/{{Stargirl}}.
45	[[/folder]]
46
47	[[folder:Comic Books]]
48	* ''Franchise/MarvelUniverse'':
49	** ComicBook/AmericaChavez is a FlyingBrick princess who hailed from another universe that contained an all-female utopia. She willingly left her world for the main universe because she wanted to be a hero.
50	** 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.
51	** Britannia of ''ComicBook/TheUnion'' [[WearingAFlagOnYourHead wears a costume inspired by the British flag]], has long, dark hair and fights with a KnightlySwordAndShield.
52	** ComicBook/LadySif thanks to her {{Xenafication}} from Myth/NorseMythology in ''ComicBook/JourneyIntoMysteryImmonen'' and an InUniverse AdaptationalDyeJob to make Sif’s blonde hair black, she’s extremely reminiscent of Wonder Woman and even wears similar armour with a CoolCrown.
53	** Thena from ComicBook/TheEternals is a pretty apparent Wonder Woman analogue right down to the similar armour, CoolCrown, FlyingBrick powers and being tied to Greek Mythology like the rest of Eternals, being a representative of the goddess Athena. Although she uses a spear instead of a sword. Thena also bares similarities with Big Barda, which is hardly surprising since they were both created by Creator/JackKirby.
54	** 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}}.
55	** 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 reassessing her opinion of men. In later comics, Thundra even has a relationship with [[ComicBook/SquadronSupreme Hyperion]] who’s fittingly a SupermanSubstitute.
56	** Ever since her 2012 relaunch as ComicBook/{{Captain Marvel\|MarvelComics}}, [[Characters/MarvelComicsCarolDanvers Carol Danvers]] has often been [[CharacterShilling pushed]] as Marvel’s Wonder Woman, due to the absence of a “main” superheroine in the MU [[labelnote:*]] Not helping matters was the fact some of the most iconic Marvel heroines like [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Invisible Woman]], [[ComicBook/XMen Storm, Rogue and Jean Grey]] were all owned by Fox until 2019 [[/labelnote]]. Carol similar to Diana is now a PrimaryColourChampion and an idol to young women within the Marvel universe on top of being the female FlyingBrick of the Avengers and most powerful next to Thor. Also thanks to a retcon she even shares Diana’s mixed heritage with an otherworldly parent. Though this is still relatively downplayed with Carol, as she lacks the mystical elements of Wonder Woman and has more similarities to [[ComicBook/GreenLantern Hal Jordan]].
57	** ComicBook/{{Psylocke}} in ''ComicBook/Excalibur2019'', after taking the mantle of ComicBook/CaptainBritain she changes costume from her ninja leotard to an armoured getup which like Wonder Woman has a segmented skirt with a crotch flap and instead of Psionic Sai Betsy wields the [[KnightlySwordAndShield starlight sword and a Psionic Shield]] as well making her very similar to Wonder Woman.
58	* Big Barda from the ''ComicBook/NewGods'' created in 1971 by Creator/JackKirby. Though Barda exists in the same universe as Wonder Woman, she has been noted to be very similar, being a StatuesqueStunner and powerful melee fighter who serves 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.
59	* Alan Moore's ''ComicBook/{{Promethea}}'' has some elements in common with Diana as both are warrior women whose stories focus on mythology and magic.
60	** Promethea is actually based on Moore's plan for Extreme Entertainment ''ComicBook/{{Glory}}'' - see below - but company went bankrupt. So, Moore took his ideas and founded a new company, America's Best Comics, and created Promethea. This is origin story for several other ABC books, like ''ComicBook/{{Top Ten}}'' (based on an unnamed concept of making a superhero police procedural) and ''ComicBook/{{Tom Strong}}'' was based on Moore's ideas for ''ComicBook/{{Prophet}}''.
61	* Winged Victory from ''ComicBook/AstroCity''. She's empowered by the Council of Nike (the collective HiveMind of several women) to defend women's rights and empowerment.
62	* 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 by introducing characters based on 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.
63	* Queen Maeve from ''ComicBook/TheBoys'' is a CorruptedCharacterCopy of Wonder Woman. She is an [[TheAlcoholic alcoholic]] BrokenBird who genuinely wanted to be a hero, but [[CynicismCatalyst various terrible circumstances]] have driven her to complete apathy. Despite that, though, she's still the TokenGoodTeammate of the rest of the Seven.
64	* 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.
65	* Zealot (Zannah of Khera) from ''ComicBook/WildCATSWildStorm'' is a DarkerAndEdgier version of Wonder Woman, a superpowered swordswoman from an all-female warrior sect of the Kherubim alien culture, who is a tough soldier with no hesitation about dicing her enemies.
66	* Eric Stanton created a pornographic parody called ''Blunder Broad'' that played up the bondage elements with her constantly getting captured and tied up by villains.
67	* Freya (no not Marvel’s Freya) from ''Creator/{{Wildstorm}}''’s ''ComicBook/TheAmericanWay'' while she started off as a Thor analogue, she becomes closer to Wonder Woman as the comic goes on being an honourable fighter and one of the few members of her team with redeemable traits.
68	* ''ComicBook/ThePro'' has one called "The Lady" amongst a team of ''Justice League'' expies.
69	* ''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 to 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.
70	* ''ComicBook/{{Planetary}}'':
71	** The unnamed extra-dimensional group that appears for a couple of pages in a flashback in issue #1 are very clearly expies of the classic Justice League, and the female of the group thus must be a Wonder Woman stand-in, albeit that she is blonde and carries a shield.
72	** Another unnamed instance is mentioned in another flashback in issue #10; she attempted to come to America from a LadyLand, but the Four assassinated her before she made landfall to prevent her becoming a threat to their plans.
73	** 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 having a strong dislike of boredom.
74	* The Filipino superhero ComicBook/{{Darna}} has a costume and powers similar to Wonder Woman's, including magic bracelets. Her later expy ComicBook/ZsazsaZaturnnah is based on Wonder Woman as well, with the twist that Zsazsa is actually a man who transforms into a SuperGenderBender.
75	* ''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.
76	* ''ComicBook/{{Invincible}}'' has War Woman, a very blatant expy of Wonder Woman right down to having a similar sounding name.
77	* Moon Mistress from ''ComicBook/BratPack'' is an expy of Wonder Woman, being a heroine claiming to embody feminism with an alliterative codename (with Luna being the equivalent of Wonder Woman's sidekick ComicBook/WonderGirl).
78	* A crossover ''ComicBook/SimpsonsComics'' issue with Bartman and Radioactive Man where the citizens of Springfield got superpowers had Sherri and Terri become the Mirror Maidens, who used magic jump ropes to force anyone to obey them.

81	[[folder:Films (Animated)]]
82	* The 1978 Korean film ''Run, Wonder Princess''. Wonder Princess has a similar costume and has a TransformationSequence similar to the ''Series/WonderWoman'' TV show.
83	* By the end of ''WesternAnimation/DCLeagueOfSuperPets'', the pets are paired up with Justice League members. [=PB=] the pig gets adopted by Wonder Woman and gets a similar costume.
84	[[/folder]]
85
86	[[folder:Films (Live-Action)]]
87	* The PostCreditsScene of ''Film/{{Brightburn}}'' mentions that more villainous versions of [=DC=] heroes exist, including a woman who strangles her victims with a rope.
88	* ''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.
89	* Creator/LyndaCarter played a couple as an ActorAllusion to her playing Wondie in ''Series/WonderWoman1975'':
90	** She plays Principal Powers in ''Film/SkyHigh2005''. A major superheroine who retired to run the titular SuperheroSchool. Jokingly says "I'm not Wonder Woman, you know" at one point.
91	** The PostCreditsScene for ''Film/WonderWoman1984'' shows a black-haired woman implied to be Wonder Woman save a baby from a falling pole. She turns around and reveals herself as Carter. The credits identify her as Astoria, a legendary Amazon whose armor is acquired by Wondie.
92	[[/folder]]
93
94	[[folder:Literature]]
95	* ''Literature/PrincessesOfThePizzaParlor'': From ''Princesses Don't Play Nice'', Princess Isabel Coeur de Lion Solaire, who, before a few edits, is effectively ComicBook/WonderWoman:
96	--> celestial heritage [...] flying unicorn mount, the bridle of invisibility, the lasso of truth.
97	* ''Literature/{{Hero}}'' by Perry Moore has Warrior Woman. She's a female FlyingBrick with a magic sword and is implied to come from a LadyLand.
98	* {{Downplayed}} in ''Literature/SoonIWillBeInvincible'' with Damsel. She's the setting's most famous (active) superheroine, and she originally formed a trio with a SupermanSubstitute and [[TheCowl a Batman Expy]] (the latter of whom is currently her ex-husband). However, her origin is quite different, being the HalfHumanHybrid of a superhero and an alien princess (implied to be ApparentlyHumanMerfolk), and aside from flight, her main power is [[BarrierWarrior force fields]].
99	* A few of the characters in ''Literature/TheQuorum'' are fans of comics parodying ''[=DC=]'' superheroes with Amazon Queen being based on Wonder Woman.
100	* Minister Faust's ''From the Notebooks of Dr. Brain'' has Iron Maiden who's this setting's Wonder Woman with shades of ''ComicBook/TheMightyThor''.
101	* Guinevere from ''Literature/TheSupervillainySaga'' is the WorldsMostBeautifulWoman, an Amazonian Beauty, and also from an island of female druids as well as an Arthurian warrior that wields the power of Caliburn. She's notably also Morgana Le Fey's daughter with Mordred as her twin brother.
102	* ''Literature/{{Worm}}'': Alexandria fits the bill. An AmazonianBeauty 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 magical gear, 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 [[DeconstructedCharacterArchetype deconstruction]]: She is in truth a WellIntentionedExtremist SociopathicHero working for [[NebulousEvilOrganisation Cauldron]].
103	[[/folder]]
104
105
106	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
107	* ''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}}.
108	* ''Series/TheBoys2019'':
109	** Just like the original comics, 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]].
110	** In "[[Recap/TheBoysS03E06Herogasm Herogasm]]", the titular orgy has a woman dressed similar to Wonder Woman who has a man hog-tied with a glowing rope. A clear reference to the Lasso Of Truth.
111	* ''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.]]
112	* ''Series/TheTick2001'' has Captain Liberty, an {{Expy}} of American Maid from [[WesternAnimation/TheTick the animated series.]]
113	* Golden Goddess from ''Series/TheGuardiansOfJustice'' fills the role in the titular group, being the setting's strongest superheroine and ruling an extra-dimensional LadyLand.
114	[[/folder]]
115
116	[[folder:Puppet Shows]]
117	* When Creator/LyndaCarter guest-starred on ''Series/TheMuppetShow'', Miss Piggy appears as Wonder Pig.
118	[[/folder]]
119
120	[[folder:Radio]]
121	* ''Ninfowoman'' from ''Radio/LoZooDi105'' was supposed to be a parody of Wonder Woman but she acted more like a slutty, female Batman.
122	[[/folder]]
123
124	[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
125	* ''TabletopGame/MutantsAndMasterminds'':
126	** In the ''TabletopGame/HaltEvilDoer'' setting, Athena is the Wonder Woman counterpart, being a defector from the Olympian pantheon with the usual FlyingBrick powers and wearing a costume that "deliberately invokes the American flag despite her international outlook".
127	** In the ''TabletopGame/FreedomCity'' setting Lady Liberty fills Wonder Woman's role as a CaptainPatriotic AmazonianBeauty FlyingBrick, but has a very different backstory, with the same origin as DC's Comicbook/UncleSam.
128	** 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 (Circe), Herne the Hunter, an eco-terrorist who transformed himself into a beast man (ComicBook/{{Cheetah}}), and Mr Toxic, a sadistic MasterPoisoner (Dr. Poison).
129	[[/folder]]
130
131	[[folder:Toys]]
132	* In 1991, UsefulNotes/McDonalds released a set of four ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' figures with snap-on superhero costumes in their Happy Meals. Petunia Pig's superheroine alter-ego was Wonder Pig, complete with a costume nearly identical to Wonder Woman's.
133	[[/folder]]
134
135	[[folder:Video Games]]
136	* 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 torture attacks]]. She even wears glasses just like Wonder Woman often does in her Diana Prince guise.
137	* Maiden Justice from ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes'' was given a magic girdle that gave her the powers of a goddess, which she passed down to her daughter, Miss Liberty who then passed it to her own daughter, Ms. Liberty. Ms. Liberty is a cross between Wonder Girl and Supergirl and both Liberties also inherited powers from Maiden's SupermanSubstitute husband, Statesman.
138	* The ''VideoGame/SoulSeries'' has Sophitia Alexandra, a female Greek warrior who’s compassionate and brave, leaves her home to fight evil, and 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.
139	* 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, has weapons blessed by the gods, and shares a close bond with another female character. On the flipside, 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 a princess like Diana is. With her red hair and pessimistic attitude, she's almost more similar to AntiHeroSubstitute Artemis.
140	[[/folder]]
141
142	[[folder:Web Comics]]
143	* ''Webcomic/TheNonAdventuresOfWonderella'': The titular Wonderella has a costume similar to Wonder Woman's, but the personality of TheLadette, a heavy-drinking, foul-mouthed Jerkass (with very rare JerkassWithAHeartOfGold moments). She also has much stranger powers, like killing plants with a word and coughing up octopi when restrained.
144	[[/folder]]
145
146	[[folder:Western Animation]]
147	* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'':
148	** In the episode "The Big Superhero Wish", Trixie Tang's superhero identity is Wonder Gal, with a near-identical outfit, lasso, and bullet-deflecting bracelets.
149	** In the episode "Power Pals!", one of the eponymous Power Pals is Joan Jet, an amalgamation of Wonder Woman and Franchise/TheFlash, having the former's overall looks and characterisation, but the latter's powers.
150	** Less directly, the Tooth Fairy's design is in many ways a PaletteSwap of Wonder Woman, and even holds the title of (Fairy) WorldsMostBeautifulWoman. The connection is played up a lot more in her debut episode, where she equips Timmy with gadgets like bulletproof braces and a floss lasso of truth.
151	* ''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.
152	* ''WesternAnimation/LeagueOfSuperEvil'' has the hero "Wow Woman", whose abilities and appearance are similar to Wonder Woman, except her outfit being colored green, white, and aqua instead of the usual red, blue, and gold.
153	* ''WesternAnimation/TheTick'': American Maid is a pastiche of both Wonder Woman and Captain America, being an Amazonian warrior who dresses in a maid outfit patterned after the American flag. Instead of a lasso, she [[ShoeSlap uses her high-heeled shoes as throwing weapons]]. Unlike most examples here, [[NonpoweredCostumedHero she has no superpowers]].
154	* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBros'' has Warriana, a Wonder Woman expy who sports a truth-lasso, an invisible flying chariot pulled by invisible geese, and is by all appearances an actual Amazon, up to her right breast being visibly absent.
155	* On ''The All-New WesternAnimation/{{Popeye}} Hour'', toward the end of the short "Popeye's Self-Defense", Olive Oyl becomes one after she eats Popeye's spinach, enabling her to repair her gymnasium single-handedly.
156	-->'''Olive:''' W.O.W., Woman of Wonder! I like it, I like it!
157	* ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'': In "The Just-us League of Supertoons" (part of "[[Recap/TinyToonAdventuresS32NewClassDay New Class Day]]"), Babs Bunny's superheroine alter-ego is Wonder Babs, featuring a near-identical outfit and lasso.
158	* ''WesternAnimation/AtomicPuppet'' has a recurring hero named Princess War Tickle, whose appearance and powers are very similar to Wonder Woman (and to a lesser extent Series/{{Xena\|WarriorPrincess}}) Like Wonder Woman she has a lasso of truth, reflective bracelets, and a magic sword; is a LightningBruiser known for being one of the strongest superheroes of the show's universe; and lives in a mystical palace with strong Greco-Roman influence.
159	* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'': In the episode "Super Zeroes", the girls decide to re-imagine themselves. Blossom becomes "Liberty Belle", based on her favorite heroine "Freedom Gal", who is pretty much a blonde Wonder Woman expy.
160	* As in the original comic, ''WesternAnimation/Invincible2021'' has a Wonder Woman expy in the form of War Woman. Besides her inspiration, she incorporates elements of [[ComicBook/{{Hawkman}} Hawkgirl]], [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]], [[Characters/MarvelComicsValkyrior Valkyrie]], and [[ComicBook/NewGods Big Barda]] into her appearance and personality.
161	* ''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]]). If that wasn’t enough Season 2 [[spoiler:reveals she’s really a PhysicalGod just like modern versions of Wondy]]. On the other hand, Mirana is an archer whereas Diana rarely uses a bow and arrow.
162	* 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.
163	* In the ''WesternAnimation/RandomCartoons'' short "Hero Heights", the character Olympia is more or less Wonder Woman as a preteen girl.
