Unit 20 Wonder Woman
B : Comic book heroes have been popular for many
years. One hero has the strength of one hundred
men. This hero also has the speed of lightning. This
hero cannot be killed. If you think this hero is
Superman, you are wrong! This hero is Wonder
Woman!
A man called William Marston created Wonder
Woman in 1941. He was a graduate of Harvard
University. He used a false name on his comics. He
did not want his colleagues to know that he wrote
comics. The false name was Charles Moulton.
Mr. Marston wanted to make a strong female
hero for little girls. Of course, he hoped that
little boys would like Wonder Woman, too. Wonder
Woman was not very popular at first. Then, World
War II began in 1941.
Wonder Woman became a role model for
children around the world. She was both strong and
beautiful. She always tried to do what was right.
Today, she is still one of the most popular heroes
of all time.
