I'm not a consumer of four colour comics, and it's not my genre. Still, I'm old enough that I watched Wonder Woman on TV as a kid and it pisses me off that they've decided to strip her powers. She was one of the few super heroes little girls could look up to and depowering her and making her less alpha and more plain clothes reads like a statement about taking power away from women and making them invisible in general. The new costume would work for Jubilee grown up, but it doesn't look like wonder woman to me.
Pretty much neo_prodigy seems on the nose to me, and the bit about plain clothed vs. costumed superheroes is fascinating: http://neo-prodigy.livejournal.com/820408.html?style=mine
* Between True Blood, Angel, and Forever Knight, I'm having trouble keeping details of vampire back stories apart. Embarrassing.
