History Fridge / WonderWoman

* Nubia sharing very few of Diana's features during The Silver Age and even fewer of them in Future Statemakes little sense if they were both gifted with the beauty of Aphrodite after being formed as twins from clay, until you remember than while Aphrodite was, ''[[GodGuise at best]]'', a SufficientlyAdvancedAlien during the Golden Age, which first showed the birth of Wonder Tot, The Silver Age and especially Future State treats the Greek gods more like the PhysicalGods the Athenians wrote about. The Greeks believed that their gods could change their appearances at will and that their gods favorite place to party on Earth was "Aethiopia", a land "as scorched by the sun" filled with dark skinned people. While the generally lighter skinned Greeks were Aphrodite's primary worshipers, it's not hard to imagine the goddess spending a lot of time as a darker skinned Aethiopian. The amazons of Paradise Island(Silver Age)/Themyscira(Future State) also venerate Athena as one of their top goddesses, and in real life men of the city state of Athens tended to hold up women of Kemet and Aethiopia as sex symbols [[CulturalPosturing equal to their own]]. Hippolyta wanting a "Nubian" baby alongside her lighter skinned one and both being as beautiful as Aphrodite makes sense in this context.

** Diana unhesitatingly tears apart Atomia's "Protron" mooks even after learning they are crafted from humans and have enough brain matter left to be susceptible to a JediMindTrick despite her very adamantly kept oath not to take human life indicating that for all practical purposes these victims of Atomia's are dead and still being used by her as puppets.

** Bias is irrational and nonsensical, though in this case, it's because they saw her as not even human.

* The odd bit of InsistentTerminology over the years that the Amazons' Purple Healing Ray is, well, the ''Purple'' Healing Ray (what, to distinguish it from other healing rays?) lines up nicely with the ''Comicbook/GreenLantern'' comic's notion that purple is the color of ''love,'' which has traditionally been the Amazons' driving virtue.

* From reading the [[UselessBoyfriend Useless Boyfriend]] page, specifically the line by Steve Trevor that "being a secret agent is a cinch when you have a super-powered girlfriend". The line seems to qualify for that page, since it implies that he doesn't do anything. Then I realized that he's not so much James Bond as he is [[Series/BurnNotice Micheal Weston]], who shows that good secret agents (or as he terms them, spies) are less about shooting people and stealing secrets, as they are about manipulating assets into shooting people and stealing secrets. Steve Trevor is a great spy/secret agent, seeing as his asset is Wonder Woman. The only downside is his preferred tactic to motivate his asset is to put himself in danger.

* Ares' plot to use Genocide and the Olympians to start WorldWarIII and kill everyone on Earth during ''"Rise of the Olympian"'' at first seems like a spectacularly stupid thing to do, given that Diana established waaaay back in the first [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1987 Perez arc]] that doing so would end all war and cause Ares to fade away himself. And then you remember that Ares spent most of Creator/GregRucka's run "re-inventing himself," first as the God of Conflict (not just war), and later usurping Hades as the Lord of the Dead, and you realize that he always intended to go through with the original plan. He just wanted to get himself in a safe position first. If you rule over the dead, and '''everyone''' is dead, that's what you call job security.

* It's a repeated point in Azzarello's run that Diana was bullied as a child by other Amazons for her perceived origin, even being derogatorily called "clay". Except, The New 52 Amazons have been characterized as such insane man-haters they threatened to castrate one of their own gods for literally just being around. So of anything, wouldn't they see her as a symbol of their ideals, since as Hermes said "no male seed created her"?

* Her primary weapon/tool being the Lasso of Truth makes a lot of sense after you learn that the Doctors Marston and Olive Byrne invented the polygraph. The lasso probably works much the same way, detecting fluctuations in body temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate if someone is fibbing.
