* SugarAndIcePersonality: Diana can come off as this many times during her superhero tenure due to the combination of being an AllLovingHero and a consummate warrior woman.

[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Wonder_Woman2.jpg]]

Created for her mother with the wisdom of Athena, the strength of Demeter, the speed of Hermes, the beauty and loving heart of Aphrodite, the sisterhood with fire of Hestia and the hunters skill of Artemis, Princess Diana of the Amazons was sent to Patriarch's World to defeat Ares, and afterward stayed to deliver her message of love and peace.
----
* AbandonedCatchphrase: In the old days, Wonder Woman would say "Suffering Sappho!" This was writer Charles Moulton's tongue-in-cheek TakeThat to MoralGuardians who claimed she was secretly a lesbian, and it fell out of use when Moulton left the book. She had about a half dozen similar exclamations that lasted her throughout the Silver Age, though, including "Great Hera!", "Thunderbolts of Jove!", "Neptune's Trident!", and "Shades of Pluto!" Nowadays she is more likely to say "Great Hera!" or "Holy Hera!"
* ActionGirl: The archetypical comic book Action Girl, created for just that purpose in 1941. Not the first female superhero, but a true cultural icon and never out of print in 67 years. (Since until recently, if DC didn't keep making it they would lose ownership).
* AllLovingHero: Pre-New 52, it was emphasized in her Blackest Night tie in, where even decapitating an enemy, the only emotion within her was love. In the New-52, where Diana is a much harder person, she still tells Hades that she really did love him after the forced marriage deal he put her through, because:
-->'''Wonder Woman:''' "Hell . . . I ''Love''. ''Everyone''."
* AmazonianBeauty: She is a literal Amazon and she is definitely beautiful. Even when she's [[DependingOnTheArtist portrayed]] as possessing a very muscular yet voluptuous figure.
* TheAgeless: Due to her demi-divine origin.
* {{Ambadassador}}: Ambassador of Themyscira.
* AmbiguouslyBi: DependingOnTheWriter. After all, she grew up in a LadyLand called Paradise Island.
** Finally confirmed as bisexual by Greg Rucka in 2016 and backed up by Gail Simone.
* AuthorAppeal: With the bondage.
* BadassCape: Part of her royal regalia/battle armor. Serves a dual purpose as diplomatic garb.
* BadassPrincess: She's a princess who happens to be a member of the Justice League.
* BadLiar: To the surprise of nobody, the Spirit of Truth sucks at lying.
* BashBrothers: With Donna and Cassie. Sometimes written as such with Batman and Superman as well.
* BattleCouple: With Superman as of the ComicBook/{{New 52}}.
* BiTheWay: Issue 2 of Wonder Woman Comics/DCRebirth implies Diana was The Casanova during her life on Paradise Island. (Or to be more accurate, some gossiping Amazons speculate that she is.) It is canonized that she was closer than friends with at least one peer.
* BlingOfWar: Sported a gold suit of Greek-style armor in a few stories.
* BloodKnight: She shows this tendency in the Comicbook/{{New 52}} Universe, mostly in the ''Justice League'' title.
* TheChick: In the 1950s and 1960s, she was this for the Justice League.
* CombatStilettos: Her boots are generally heeled.
* CoolPlane: The Invisible Jet. Nowadays, it's only used if she needs stealth or to carry passengers or loads.
* {{Determinator}}: Other more powerful members of her team may decide to step back or retreat in order to strategize a solution. Wonder Woman's plan is to plow headfirst into the situation and kick the living shit out of it.
* {{Flanderization}}: Pre-New 52, Diana was fairly unique amongst DC's heroes in that she was ''willing'' to kill enemies, but only when absolutely necessary and when there is zero other options available. As of the New 52, this has been exaggerated into her ruthlessly killing any villain she confronts, which makes it pretty hard to believe that the other heroes would want anything to do with her. Her pre-New 52 willingness to kill is also an example of this, if a more gradual one. Originally she was the one of DC's Big Three who would ''not'' kill. She made an exception when it came to gods, because (as she herself pointed out) during Marston's run all gods had ResurrectiveImmortality. When the Silver Age came around she kept her no-killing rule as Batman and Superman also jumped on that train. When Creator/GeorgePerez rebooted her after Comicbook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths he brought back her willingness to kill gods (and expanded it to include other supernatural creatures as well), but never addressed whether they were still immortal. Later this was rationalized as her being willing to kill "when it was absolutely necessary". Then that was expanded to hypothetically include humans as well as non-humans. [[ItWasHisSled Then she snapped Maxwell Lord's neck]] and the rest is history.
* FlyingBrick: Slowly evolved into this from LightningBruiser.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: One of her least utilized powers is the ability to communicate empathically with animals.
* GoodIsNotSoft: She has always been an icon of kindness and nobility, preferring peace and diplomacy to war and aggression. Yet, of all of the members of the Justice League of America, she alone has never hesitated to use lethal force when it was needed, reminding everyone the Amazons are, at heart, still a Proud Warrior Race.
%%* GrumpyBear
* HeroicBastard: [[spoiler:In the New 52, she's the result of Hippolyta's affair with Zeus.]]
* HonorBeforeReason: One of her vices is that she absolutely refuses to retreat or surrender, and a big enough ZergRush could occupy her until she collapses from exhaustion.
* HotLibrarian: Poses as one occasionally.
* ImmuneToMindControl: Sometimes among her or the Lasso of Truth's powers, DependingOnTheWriter.
* LadyOfWar: Some of her incarnations. She is a master of many forms of combat and stated by Batman to be the best melee combatant in the world. She uses her bulletproof bracelets and Lasso of Truth to great effect and, while unarmed, graceful maneuvers and powerful blows, all while having a regal demeanor as princess of the Amazons.
* LeotardOfPower: She is the classic example, which is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in ''Franchise/{{Justice League|of America}}'', where Gordon Godfrey snarkingly compares her to a showgirl. Also played with in the movie, when Steve Trevor says "Let's get you into an outfit that doesn't get me arrested for solicitation."
* LightningBruiser: Not as durable as Superman, but just as dangerous to take on in a fight thanks to her near-unparalleled combat skills.
* LivingLieDetector: Thanks to her enchanted lasso, is probably one of the most well-known examples. The Lasso is able to force people to tell the truth - it takes godlike willpower to prevent this, and the subject will not be able to lie, only avoid saying anything at all.
** As she is the living embodiment of truth, being around Wonder Woman at all makes people slightly more truthful but this effect is easier to resist than being in contact with her lasso.
* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler: In the Comicbook/{{New 52}} Universe, it's revealed by Eris in issue #2 and later confirmed by Hippolyta in the next issue than Diana is the daughter of Hippolyta and Zeus.]]
* MadeOfIndestructium: Not even Superman or Captain Marvel can break her lasso. Her bracelets can withstand even {{ComicBook/Darkseid}}'s Omega Beam, which is one of the few things that can harm Franchise/{{Superman}}.
** Her bracelets are ineffective against [[spoiler: Eros' guns.]]
* MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: Unlike her male colleagues Franchise/{{Superman}} and Franchise/{{Batman}}, she lacks a [[ThouShallNotKill no-kill policy]], which leads to much conflict between her and the other two.
* MoreHeroThanThou: On one occasion, after hearing a prophecy that said the entire JLA would perish while fighting an ancient evil, Diana [[LoopholeAbuse decided]] to decommission the League ([[LetsYouAndHimFight by force]]) and fight the monster solo, as a [[OneManArmy League of One]], reasoning that her one death was preferable to the death of every one of her teammates.
* MostCommonSuperpower: DependingOnTheArtist, Diana's breasts can rival ComicBook/PowerGirl.
* MsFanservice: She is a beautiful amazon (or the most beautiful woman in America) that wears outfits that emphasize her huge breasts, strong toned muscles, sizeable backside and long toned legs.
* NiceGal: She was designed to be an embodiment of love and peace in UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks who first tried finding peaceful solutions and reforming her enemies compared to the more aggressive methods of her male counterparts. Most incarnations since have followed suit by making her surprisingly humble and an AllLovingHero that can find compassion even for the most vile of her enemies.
* NighInvulnerability: Though not to the same level as Superman, which is why she has those wristbands.
* NoSell: In the New 52, she is immune to Eros's bullets because she already loves ''everyone''.
* [[OneManArmy One Woman Army]]: Can and has taken on whole armies and superhero teams single-handed.
* PaintedOnPants: During the Creator/JMichaelStraczynski run. She soon went back to the LeotardOfPower. [[WhatCouldHaveBeen This was also planned]] for the Comicbook/{{New 52}}, but was ultimately scrapped for another version of the LeotardOfPower. Certain covers and promotional images were even released with "pants" and "no pants" versions.
* PoliticallyActivePrincess: Themiscyra's ambassador to Man's World.
* PowerLimiter: Diana's bracelets in the New 52.
* {{Pride}}: Part of her Royal Heritage, and a strength and weakness in one.
* PrimaryColorChampion: A red and blue LeotardOfPower, blue on bottom, red on top, yellow accents such as the WW logo, belt and golden lasso. Her New 52 design replaced the yellow accents with silver ones, but the red and blue (being the primary component of the trope) still stayed.
* [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Proud Warrior Race Gal]]: A Themysciarian warrior.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: She's a princess and her people's champion.
* SafeSaneAndConsensual: Diana has swung totally across the spectrum on this DependingOnTheWriter. Her creator and other writers like GrantMorrison favor her explicitly being a very happy BDSM enthusiast, whereas other writers omit that character trait entirely. Most Stories will include subtle visual references to this at least: what with her classic metal bracelets and collars/chokers appearing fairly often in her costume designs.
* ShesGotLegs: Since Wonder Woman is usually drawn with a very muscular yet voluptuous build for her body, She also wears a leotard that shows off her legs which (in terms of being very leggy) are shown to be very muscular yet voluptuous just like the rest of her body.
* ShipTease: With Superman, Batman ''and'' Comicbook/{{Aquaman}} at various times.
** RelationshipUpgrade: With Superman since ''Justice League'' #12 in the Comicbook/{{New 52}}
* ShutUpHannibal: Speechifies quite often to villains in an attempt to make them see the error of their ways. Unfortunately, due to the nature of superhero comics, this rarely works.
* SiblingTeam: With Donna Troy
* SleevesAreForWimps: Seldom wears sleeves and hardly needs them.
* SmashSisters: With Donna Troy. They sure do kick ass together.
* TheSocialExpert: Being a diplomat, she's very good at getting to know the [[CunningLinguist languages]] and customs of various groups she deals with.
%%* StarSpangledSpandex
* StatuesqueStunner: [[DependingOnTheArtist Depends on the artist]], but she is often portrayed in this way.
* StrawFeminist: If written badly, Diana can become this. Sometimes, though, it's used [[DeliberateValuesDissonance to explore values dissonance]] or as a foundation for character development, such as with Diana's origin story.
* SuperReflexes: How else can she deflect machine gun fire with only her bracelets?
* SuperSpeed: Not to the same level as TheFlash, though she does still run much faster than normal humans.
* SuperStrength: Granted by Demeter (Goddess of the Earth). Diana is literally as strong as the Earth because of her link to the planet granted to her by Demeter. She is said to be "stronger than Hercules". Wonder Woman is as strong as Superman himself and able to physically outmatch other beings such as Supergirl.
* TechnicalPacifist: Pre-ComicBook/{{Crisis|on Infinite Earths}}. These days, not.
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] since she's ''the'' ActionGirl of the DCU.
** In the New52, she's this even with''' ''Superman!'' '''
* WillNotTellALie: Former Goddess of Truth, y'all.
* WorldsMostBeautifulWoman: She is canonically supposed to be this, having been blessed at birth by the goddess Aphrodite.
* WorldsStrongestWoman: She is generally portrayed as the strongest woman in the DC universe. Depending on who's writing her, she's sometimes described as second only to Superman in terms of strength.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: She tends to pull out a lot of wrestling moves in adaptations. She ''is'' ancient Greek, after all.
* {{Xenafication}}: Currently, but has gone through periods of {{chickification}} and this trope DependingOnTheWriter.
%%* YourSizeMayVary: See StatuesqueStunner.
