10 Biggest WTF Wonder Woman Moments
5. Wonder Woman Becomes A Ritual Cannibal - Wonder Woman #3 1943
For the most part, it's easy to ignore the fact that early Wonder Woman comics contain a very strong BDSM tone - as creator William Marston's personal interest in such matters more often than not found its way into the pages of Diana Prince's early comics.
However, for a good few pages in Wonder Woman #3, the ability to pretend that the whole thing isn't a pervert's buffet selection is made impossible, as we watch a unique Amazon ritual performed in incredible detail. Said ritual involves Amazons dressing like deer, to be hunted by the remaining Amazons. But it doesn't stop there, because that would only be mildly weird.
As after the deer-women are caught, they are then strung up and "skinned" so their deer costume is removed, before being tied up and placed on a dinner table for the hunters to pretend to eat them. There's a very clear tone about the whole thing, and it's made infinitely, infinitely worse by a solitary panel, wherein one former deer asks if she can be fed herself, in the most messed up sentence in recorded human history.
