Haven: Took out this bit, because as mentioned below, she has super speed. On at least one occasion, she deflected a burst of fully automatic gun fire, when it wasn't even being aimed at her, but at a whole crowd. I think most of the time she's deflecting automatic fire (certainly in her appearances on Justice League), and in one instance (again, in the cartoon), someone did fire a shotgun at her, and she managed to block it with the handicap of having been transformed into a pig.

  • Chronic Idiot Ball leading to Harmless Villains: Her protection from guns is her two bracelets, which she uses to block bullets. She has two arms, so she should only be able to block two bullets at any one time. For some reason, her enemies have yet to figure out that they could beat her by simply using a shotgun.
    • She's fast enough to get out of the way of the shotgun blast, and probably to deflect all of the blast as well.

Took out this. What does it even mean? She has the speed of Hermes, that's Supernatural indeed. And it's certainly not "limited" in a recent issue of Dwayne Mc Duffies Justice League, even Batman agreed she was faster than Superman.

Super-Speed: Limited, more like a side effect of Super-Strength then outright supernatural speed.

And who took a hacksaw to this section? Linking to real women don't wear dresses in Marston's quote makes no sense whatsoever. And there were a ton of other things too. Changed the pic to her comic book incarnation, since that's what the article talks about. George Perez, so I figure it's the most iconic.

Laevatein: I linked Marston's quote to Real Women Never Wear Dresses because the trope is about people disliking anything seen as feminine, which Marston was attempting to address.
