Wonder Woman 159

The Golden Age Secret Origin of Wonder Woman: In ancient times, Mars, the god of war, and Aphrodite, goddess of love, conflicted over who would rule humanity; To counter Mars violence on Earth, Aphrodite created the race of Amazons, giving them “the power of love” as well as strength that made them stronger than the mightiest man; Hippolyta gives Diana the red, white, blue, and yellow costume designed by Aphrodite and the Magic Lasso, made from links of the magic girdle of Aphrodite, which compels anyone bound with it to obey the orders of the binder; Diana is dubbed “Wonder Woman” by her fellow Amazons, and takes the transparent Robot Plane given her by Hippolyte to take herself and Trevor back to America.
