The 1990s were a very strange time for comic books as both Marvel and DC battled falling sales. That led to a lot of different gimmicks, including a crossover which merged the heroes and villains of both worlds into new characters. In the case of Wonder Woman, she was blended with X-Men character Storm and transformed into a hero known as Amazon. Amazon actually had more in common with Storm than she did Wonder Woman as Ororo was a "metamutant" who was rescued and adopted by Queen Hippolyta of the Amazons. They trained her to use her weather controlling powers, and Amazon could even create a lasso of lightning which would compel anyone who was bound by it to speak the truth.
