Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Wonder Woman is among the most celebrated female icons in comic books – though one of her writers admits, in retrospect, that he inadvertently damaged her reputation in his classic run with the character. Unfortunately, as comic legend Denny O'Neil noted, this happened as part of his attempt to make the character even better, which did not work out as intended.
Whilw his intention wasn't to undermine Wonder Woman's status as the industry's premiere female comic book hero, reflecting on the decision years later, O'Neil expressed his concern that this is exactly what happened. In O'Neil's Wonder Woman #179, the Amazons of Themyscira claimed that their power was waning, forcing them leave for another dimension to recharge. The Amazons requested Diana come with them, but wanting to help Steve Trevor in his latest adventure, she refused. Subsequently, Diana lost all of her power. Without her super abilities, Diana became to be the student of I-Ching, a powerful karate expert.
Instead of the woman who could move a mountain and do anything she set her mind to, Diana became a street-level vigilante with karate skills she learned by studying under a man. This change didn't last long, and eventually, Wonder Woman was brought back to the powerhouse that fans know her as.
