My heroine is Angelina Jolie since I was 6 years old. For me a hero is someone that helps people, take care of them, it is kind, intelligent, brave, and humble. I chose her to be my hero, because she has all the qualities to be a heroine. She helps and saves people all over the world. This is a big deal to me and it is what I want to do when I grow up.

One of my favorite superheroes is Wonder Woman (also known as Diana Prince). Not only is she a modern day feminist, but she also continues to be the most well developed DC comic book character (in my biased opinion) to date. Wonder Woman’s origin story is extremely unique because it’s always changing. She’s seen as an amazon, a demigod, a princess, and a lump of clay in various adaptations. In the 1941 comic, Wonder Woman's birth takes us back to the classic origin stories from both Hellenic mythology

Or is seeing believing? Wonder woman, an iconic character in a recent film directed by Patty Jenkins, primarily exhibits that believing is seeing. Wonder woman is a warrior goddess and the daughter of Queen Hippolyta and Zeus and was raised in Themyscira with the Amazons.

Wonder women so, became pioneer to her kind, years before the big change. Wonder Woman was Princess Diana of Themyscira, an all-female island, and the first time that coverage with a man was during the World War II, that an American soldier fell into the island after a plane crash.

I am just going to get it out of the way in the beginning that I am not a superhero movie or comic fan. I have not followed any series, or any particular superhero’s story. I do have seen some movies randomly, but that’s it. So I have no clue whether the film on Wonder Woman was accurate, or if some parts are missing or the story has been tweaked.

Once the temporary chaos died down, me and Diana amusingly trudge off without a peep of sound compared to just a few short seconds before. Heading to the set of turnstiles

emotions, refusing to act in any way that may be associated with femininity, Diana does the utter opposite, embracing her femininity, and never doubting that a woman can accomplish anything a man can without sacrificing her identity, ‘I am Diana of Themyscira, daughter of Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons. In the name of all that is good, your wrath upon this world is over.’ Her naiveté and simplistic world views also create a freshness and honesty of character that the tomboy loses in their attempts
