Literature

Live-Action TV

  • Batwoman (2019). In "The Rabbit Hole", Sophie Moore demands to know if Kate Kane was the mysterious Batwoman who saved her life in the previous episode. Kate denies it, saying if she was going to do something like that, she'd have dressed up like Wonder Woman instead.
  • The Big Bang Theory: Penny's outfit for the costume party she ends up not wanting to go to with the guys as the Justice League of America is to be Wonder Woman. Her reluctance to put on the dark-haired wig that causes some friction with the group, unwilling to accept a blonde Wonder Woman (conveniently forgetting about the Lynda Carter TV series).
  • Frasier: Roz feels that Wonder Woman is her superhero.
    Roz: Actually, I didn't misunderstand anything. You made so much fun of my costume, I got so embarrassed, so I lied. Wonder Woman really is my hero. I mean, she's smart and beautiful, moral, and totally independent.
  • Gilmore Girls: In the first season episode "Love and War and Snow", when Emily asks if Lorelai's coming over for Friday dinner despite the snowstorm, Lorelai jokes she'll just put on her costume, grab her lasso, and hop on her invisible plane.
  • Harry's Law: Guest character Annie Bilson (played by Erica Durance who also famously played Lois Lane below) is a vigilante who dresses as the Themysciran princess in her crusade.
  • Smallville: Lois Lane cosplayed with the character's costume in a Season 9 episode. This is an obvious Mythology Gag since Diana doesn't seem to exist (yet) in this universe. Although a Freeze-Frame Bonus from a previous episode implies her island nation home does exist and is in contact with the Vactican.
  • Lovecraft Country: The characters Hippolyta and her daughter, Diana, are a nod to Wonder Woman and her own mother.
  • Malcolm in the Middle: Craig, the show's resident comic book geek, is seen watching the Lynda Carter show in one episode.
  • 'That '70s Show:
    • In a fantasy sequence parodying the Superfriends, Donna is dressed as Wonder Woman.
    • When Eric sneaks off to partake in Roller Disco, his dance partner is dressed as Wonder Woman.
    • While getting high, Jackie wonders how cool it'd be if she had Wonder Woman's bullet-blocking bracelets.

Podcast

Professional Wrestling

  • "Wonder Woman Of Wrestling" has unofficially been bestowed on several people in the National Wrestling Alliance throughout the decades, most prominently on half of the NWA World Women's Tag Team Champions Sabrina, where positive parallels were drawn to the physical characteristics of the "Golden Age" comic book character. Others include Cheerleader Melissa, who is similar in appearance to Sabrina and even used Tricky's Number One Da Woman as entrance music, Mercedes Martinez, and Santana Garrett, though it was usually used derisively in Garrett's case by rivals like Thunder Rosa.
  • One set of Princesa Sugehit's ring gear, as a tecnica, is based on Wonder Woman's costume, only with various insects in place of the birds, stars and letters.
  • Trish Stratus would sometimes slip in subtle references to the comic book character as baby face, or not so subtly dress as Wonder Woman during the Halloween Episode costume contests she partook in.
  • Mickie James, after a program with Stratus forever connected them in public consciousness, took it a step further and wrestled matches dressed as Wonder Woman, including a series of TNA house shows.
  • Beth Phoenix's headband brings Diana's tiara to mind, something she has embraced as part of her "Glamazonian" shtick.
  • While working heel, Camron Star would dress as Wonder Woman, particularly after a Halloween costume contest in the Indiana based New Era Wrestling. She especially liked to while feuding with Thunderkitty, a redheaded baby face who commonly wore leopard print singlets, to invert Wonder Woman's usual dynamic with Cheetah/Giganta. She also did so while managing Damian Cole, a heel who would dress as Captain America, referencing a common crossover ship.
  • Mandy Leon has dressed as Wonder Woman for some publicity posts.
  • Sasha Banks dressed as the Themysciran princess during the first ever women's Royal Rumble.

Video Games

  • Infinite Craft: "Wonder Woman" is a possible crafting recipe.
  • League of Legends: Sivir's spectacular skin is a Wonder Woman shout out.
  • Mortal Kombat: In MK vs DC, Kitana becomes Mortal Kombat's version of Wonder Woman when the gods grant her Shang Tsung's island to form the Edenian resistance, which is also seemingly made up of only women.
  • Assassin's Creed: Odyssey: Cassandra's Amazon Armor is a dead-ringer for Wonder Woman's outfit with its sleeveless cuirass, short leather skirt, high plated boots, braces, and tiara.

Webcomics

  • Girl Genius: One scene shows a sign for both an X-ray and a Purple Ray, the second of which is associated with the technology of Themyscira in Wonder Woman where it is a healing ray.
  • Grrl Power: Sydney has a white shirt with Wondy's emblem across the chest.
  • Hark! A Vagrant: Kate Beaton's interpretation of Wonder Woman is somewhat unconventional, though quite amusing. Fitting for a humor comic.

  • Paranatural: When the bullies spot the spectrals in a ghost train the spectrals just appear to be sitting in an invisible flying machine, which causes one of the bullies to tear up with regret and want at the thought that they are in an or several invisible planes like Wondy.
  • Questionable Content: In the comic titled "Wonder Woman" Hanners arrives at the party in an invisible experimental aircraft equipped with AI capable of piloting itself, just like Wondy's robot plane in the original comics.
