Wonder Girl was the teenage sidekick of Wonder Woman[1] back in the '60s. She was also a member of the Teen Titans.
Background Information
Wonder Girl is a non-Amazon orphan, rescued by Wonder Woman from an apartment building fire. Unable to find any parents or family, Wonder Woman brings the child to Paradise Island. She becomes Queen Hippolyta's foster daughter and Wonder Woman's foster sister. Unfortunately, she was unable to compete with the Amazons on a physical level, lacking their special powers, and so was given powers almost identical to those of Wonder Woman by scientist Paula von Gunther's Purple Ray.[2] In 1969, Wonder Girl dons a new, all-red bodysuit-style costume, lets her hair fall loose, and becomes known as Wonder Girl. She helps establish the Teen Titans and remains a member till 1978.[3]
