Linda Carter stars as Diana Prince, a true Amazonian descendent with special powers who fights bad guys in a skin tight outfit. In classic wham bam comic book style, Wonder Woman catches people in her magic lasso, and uses her golden belt and bracelets to deflect things like bullets and squelch the bad guy's devious plans.
Wonder Woman was slowly developed into a series. Originally it aired as a TV movie in 1974 starring Cathy Lee Crosby. The show is based on Charles Moulon's comic book superheroine. Also originally set in the 1940's, upon changing networks, the show re-emerged in 1977 as "The New Adventures of Wonder Woman," and was set in the then present day.
During World War II, a plane piloted by Major Steve Trevor crashes near Paradise Island, the secret hidden island home of the mighty and eternally young Amazons. He is rescued by Princess Diana and learns of the war against the Nazis. The Amazons decide to send one of their own to help fight in this crisis. Although forbidden to participate in the selection process, Diana joins secretly and wins the right and responsibility to go. Taking the still unconscious Major to safety, she joins him as Yeoman Diana Prince. Furthermore, when the forces of evil threaten the nation, Diana would spin to transform into Wonder Wonder, armed with a magic belt giving her tremendous strength, bracelets that can stop any bullet, a tiara that can be thrown as a returning weapon and a unbreakable magic lasso that can force anyone to tell the truth. After WW II, she returned to the Island, only to encounter Steve Trevor Jr., agent for IADC, thirty years later. Seeing the amazing coincidence as a sign, she returns to the Man world once more to resume her role as the greatest of the female superheroes.
