10 Most Sexist Comic Superheroines Still Being Published Today
2. Wonder Woman
Yes, wonder Woman is an iconic superhero, part of DC's big three along with Superman and Batman.
But that doesn't explain her costume.
Why would an Amazonian Princess dress like that?
Taking a closer look at the brains behind Wonder Woman might help. Psychologist William Moulton Marston created Wonder Woman and scripted her first comic adventures. Back then, Wonder Woman's costume wasn't quite as revealing, though it was still silly.
Moulston, though, had a thing for bondage, and delighted in scripting scenes of Wonder Woman tied up by enemies. It was a rare comic that didn't feature a bound Wonder Woman struggling to escape her captors.
Today? Wonder Woman doesn't get tied up nearly as much. But she does show plenty of skin in her skimpy costume. Who knows? Maybe she's just hot all the time.
