Warner Home Video’s new Wonder Woman: The Complete First Season DVD boxed set recaps Wonder Woman’s intermittent ABC season (1976–1977), featuring episodes set in World War II wherein the heroine fought Nazis, spies, and even an angry gorilla. Though some of the stories were camp classics, Lynda Carter played it straight, all the way through dialogue that espoused “sisterhood” as one of the strongest forces on Earth. If Wonder Woman's belt was ripped away, she lost all of her superstrength but still had her natural powers and a few handy accessories: Her bracelets could deflect bullets, her tiara was a boomerang, and her lasso compelled others to tell the truth. She could also spin around to change into fabulous outfits.
