Gender: Female Location: Poppin Pills on the Rainbow Bridge
Its the hand holding that some posters have to go thru to explain scenes to you...which is ridic giving the amount of time you spend on this board. Thats what Rao is referring to Carve
She's as shoehorned into this 'importance' trio as Cyborg is in the Justice League. It's literally just marketing on the account of her 'superhero with vagina and manufactured importance'. Linda Danvers was the only thing keeping her relevant, and that was in 1975. For somebody who has been published for so long, her stories are incredibly mediocre at best and she doesn't even have ONE all-time great. Her villains are awful generic "haha, I am so bad and i hate you", with sparks of good characterization in Ares. Her most memorable moment is snapping Max Lord's neck, which is depressing. She's been reinvented half a dozen times, and her stories were still shit.
Flash and/or Green Lantern are MUCH more deserving of being there alongside B/S. They have a shitload of all-time great stories, moments, importance WITHIN Universe, etc. They're just unlucky they aren't born women.
She's lucky MU doesn't have the rights to all of its properties, because she'd be ridiculously overshadowed by other female characters [Jean Grey, Storm, etc.] who have ACTUAL depth and complex characterizations AND good stories.

J'onn is black in his human form, but I guess that doesn't pass the diversity purity test.
lol @ Giganta/Medusa as anything more than one-note villains. Cheetah is a poor man's Sabretooth with angst.
WW has a vocal following from tumblr, and 99% of the 'fans' can't name a story about her, or anything about her other than generic 'she's compassionate and strong like Superman'.
'lol @ reinvention'? She's close to being a Hawkman mess. Her New 52 reinvention by Azarello where the Amazons were blood-thirsty killers lasted about 3 years, until it was retconned into an illusion, and now she's Shazam-lite, which will last for about as many years [if not less] before she's back to being Zeus' daughter. Her ACTUAL original stories are so weird that nobody will touch it with a ten foot pole besides Grant Morrison. She's a directionless mess.
lol @ nobody cares about Flash/Green Lantern. Shows how much you know about their history. Each individual Flash and Green Lantern has their dedicated following, and each of them has a rich pool of history and character development to draw upon, stories, supporting characters, relationships.
Jean has more depth and relationship with her teammates and Universe than Wonder Woman will ever have. You can hug it out with Raoul, but while we're at that topic, Emma is ANOTHER one with much more depth than WW. Diana is ZERO as far as her teammates in Justice League go, besides 'oh wow, she's so beautiful and strong' - which is incidently, how her 'fans' see her, too. She's so bland and generic, that she makes Hal Jordan look like Magneto. Diana doesn't even HAVE a supporting cast, and it changes depending on the arcs, with Steve popping up lately, but he's there doing his own thing.
Wonder Woman is lucky there's a void of good female superhero movies and she got ahead of Captain Marvel, otherwise she'd go back to nobodygivesashitabout realm.
