10 Utterly Ridiculous Comic Book Weaknesses

6. Having Her Hands Tied By A Man (Wonder Woman)

Although the specifics of this weakness are fuzzy - as a number of writers have portrayed it differently over the years and, in some instances, simply tying Wonder Woman up has caused her to lose her powers - the general rule is that Wonder Woman loses her powers when her bracelets are tied together.

The weird thing is, however, that this only applies when the tying is done by a man. Bearing that in mind, if a male opponent subdued or overpowered Wonder Woman for long enough to chain her bracelets together, she would rendered powerless and had to rely on her mind and wits to escape the situation.

In some instances, this weakness has been vaguer, with any method of tying her up working in depowering her, regardless of the gender of the assailant. Fortunately this didn't carry over into the modern age of comics, with the character today having no specific vulnerability.
