10 Superheroes Who Are Literal Gods

3. Wonder Woman

DC ComicsWhen it comes to comic book gods that come from the classical pantheon, though, you can't do better than Princess Diana of Themyscira. Depending on which origin story she has at any given time, Wonder Woman was raised on an island of solely women and blessed with the powers of the Greek gods, or - even better - was literally molded from clay by those very same gods to have their powers from birth. Regardless of where she got them, though, Diana boasts the beauty of Aphrodite, the wisdom of Athena, the speed of Hermes and the strength of Hercules, with plenty more besides. Because it's not just that handful of gods who endowed their powers unto Wonder Woman, but basically all of them. Demeter, the goddess of agriculture and fertility, gave the ability to tap into the Earth spirit Gaea, which not only makes her the strongest female heroine in all the DC Universe but also lets her physically merge with the Earth, causing whatever injuries or poisons to be expelled from her body. Like Swamp Thing, but we wouldn't really wanna see Alec Holland in that costume. She also has the Athena's military prowess, has all those awesome enhanced senses and ability to talk to animals from Artemis, and can astrally project herself into various lands of myth. As if that wasn't enough for a deity on Earth, in the New 52 she's the daughter of Zeus and Hippolyta, meaning she is a legit god and has all those two's powers two. Yeah, we should probably start praying to Gal Gadot, we guess.
