![]() The live-action version of the sword is also engraved. In the DCEU, her sword is also known as the Sword of Athena, and it's much more closely connected to her Amazonian heritage. This sword, therefore, can hurt and even (theoretically) kill Superman without Kryptonite (good thing that they're on the same side!).Īt one point in the comics, she's shown using a sword to split atoms, but the history of her sword isn’t as well known as that of many of her other signature weapons. The primary magical property of her sword is its ability to work on invulnerable beings – including Superman. We’ve seen quite a lot of Wonder Woman’s sword in the latest trailers for her film, but some may not be aware that it is actually a magic sword. Originally, the bracelets were used to control her incredible power, and when taken off, she would let loose with her full strength in a berserker rage. These have also been used not only to protect Wonder Woman, but to protect others from Wonder Woman. When she crosses the bracelets in front of her face, they create a shield which protects her (and anyone behind her) from explosions and larger blasts. They can deflect bullets (as well as blades, blows, and virtually any other attack), and Wonder Woman sometimes uses them to deflect a bullet back at the person who fired it. Most of the time, however, the bracelets are defensive. Their connection to Zeus even allows Wonder Woman to use her cuffs in order to project a lightning blast from them, using them as an offensive weapon ( a maneuver which may soon translate to the big screen). ![]() These bracelets were forged from the shield of the Zeus himself, and as such, are indestructible. ![]() In some stories, it has also been used to force someone bound by it to unquestioningly obey the one wielding the lasso, and even to allow Diana to change her clothes! More often than not though, it's used to wrangle up bad guys and/or whip them into the ground.Ī key part of Wonder Woman’s costume, the Bracelets of Victory are silver cuffs worn around Diana’s wrists – but they are far more than jewelry. It can even restore the mind to sanity and protect people from magical attacks. In the comics, the lasso is able to force people to tell the truth, and it can also dispel illusions (to reveal the truth - hence the name) and restore memories to those who have lost them. We have already seen its immense strength (and magical length) in action, but it also has some more magical applications. Forged into a weapon by the Greek god Hephaestus, the lasso (like most of her weapons) is more than a glowing rope. The lasso originally came from the Golden Girdle of Gaea, worn by Antiope. ![]() We've also seen it coiled on her hip in the trailers for her upcoming solo outing, so there is absolutely no doubt that we will be seeing a lot more of it in the DCEU. One of Wonder Woman's best known weapons, this glowing lasso has already appeared on the big screen, when she used it in that epic Batman v Superman battle against Doomsday. The following items are confirmed to appear in one of the upcoming movies featuring the Amazonian princess. We've listed those items below in order of what we can confirm as being featured in the upcoming Wonder Woman and Justice League movies to those she has used in the comics, but either have very little chance of showing up on screen or haven't been confirmed just yet. Based on the trailers for her upcoming solo movie, the superheroine will make use of several pieces of equipment from the comics. Unlike heroes like Superman and the Flash (who have some form of superpower that can be manifested physically), Wonder Woman employs the use of various tools, equipment and weapons to engage her enemies (much like Batman) - though she doesn't necessarily need them to kick ass. There's a reason why Princess Diana is so powerful though: she was crafted from clay by her mother Queen Hippolyta, brought to life as the daughter of the god Zeus, granted her superpowers (near-immortal life, superhuman strength and speed, virtually indestructible, divine wisdom and more) by the Greek Pantheon (Olympic deities) and raised to be an Amazonian warrior alongside her aunts, Anitope and Menalippe. Ever since her first appearance in All Star Comics in 1941, Diana has been a favorite around the world, inspiring girls (and boys) everywhere by proving female superheroes were just as powerful (and in her case, MORE so) than their male counterparts. Wonder Woman, has been fighting evil on the pages of DC Comics. For almost 75 years, the superhero demigoddess known as Princess Diana of Themyscira, a.k.a.
