>>115493749No word of what you said was true (well, okay, Marston was a deviant, but he didn't make her weak to piercing or imply that shit).
She was originally just a human, with the concept that really really really REALLY good training let her do absurd shit like deflect bullets with her bracelets, lift cars, hold her breath for hours, and so on. She was basically a wuxia hero.
Power creep and the need to make her "just as tough as Superman" while Superman kept getting more alien powers fucking made a mess of things.
She was originally weak against bullets and arrows and swords and shit because, duh, she's a human, you stab a human it hurts.
Then they said "oh she's weak against... piercing weapons?" because they'd tried to power her up to Superman levels, but her most iconic move was deflecting bullets, and besides most of her enemies were people with swords, spears, and guns, and it would just get a bit ridiculous to say that every one of them happened to have a different magic sword.
And now things are even more fucked up because casualfag writers march in and assume that she's bulletproof, despite "she has to deflect the bullets" being Wonder Woman 101.
But that's the American comics industry for you.
