In a 1940 interview, William discussed the unfulfilled potential of comic books. This interview caught the eye of Maxwell Charles Gaines, a pioneering figure in the comic book industry, who hired William as an educational consultant for National Periodicals and All-American Publications, two companies that would eventually be part of Creator/DCComics.

While working for Gaines, William eventually got the idea for a new superhero. In contrast with other superheroes of the time, who were rather hyper-masculine and tended to solve their problems with violence first, this new hero would be the polar opposite; a woman, who would triumph with the power of love. And so, Wonder Woman was born, as an allegory for William's ideal of a strong woman; noble, independent, and peace-loving.

In 1925, they were joined by Olive Byrne, who would become their polyamorous partner, and with whom William would have two more children. William and Elizabeth would eventually develop the systolic blood pressure test, a key component in what would eventually become the polygraph test.
