10 Dumbest Changes Made To Iconic Comic Characters

Do you know what would make Wonder Woman great? If you said "remove every single thing that makes her Wonder Woman" then you'd be wrong. However, you'd also have a promising career as a 60's comic writer.

At the time, The Avengers was one of the most popular shows on TV and DC wanted to capitalise on that success by making their leading lady more like spy Emma Peel. The only tiny problem is that a super strong Amazon and a catsuit clad secret agent have absolutely nothing in common. DC though, are the kind of company that are happy to sand down a square block to fit in a circular hole.

Conveniently, the Amazons suddenly decided to leave this dimension. If Wonder Woman wanted to stay on Earth, it would mean giving up her powers. Equally conveniently, she also ran into a blind Chinese man who taught her kung fu.

The new Wonder Woman was completely unrecognisable from the old, she was now a globe-trotting superspy in a white pantsuit, who mixed karate-chopping bad guys with running a mod boutique fashion store.

The silliest part is that Diana only agreed to the whole thing as a way of protecting Steve Trevor from his own incompetence... who then proved that point a few issues later by dying anyway.
