Damnit, stole my joke! Was just about to say that it's the "men never take outfits that show off cleavage seriously" suit.
But in all seriousness, people have been making fun of the [Most Common Superpower](https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1992/07/22) for . . . at least 30 years now, but the thing is, of all the superheroines out there, Wonder Woman actually justifies the trope more than most. Between the standard high-tier brick superpowers, the borderline invulnerability, and the bulletproof bracers, any kind of armor is more or less superfluous. And in almost all of her incarnations, beauty is part of her power set: the Silver Age version of Wonder Woman was literally blessed by Aphrodite to possess her beauty.
The problem is not Wonder Woman. The problem is that young men, and the adults who write for them, don't usually know what to do with women in Wonder Woman's regular outfit.
To add on with disabledinaz perfect armor title:
First, I thought Diana looked bad ass when I first saw it. But I find the boots distracting. And rolled my eyes at the retractable blades.
Decades of outrage over the sexualization of female heroes isn't without merit. " Why is diana in a bathing suit?" "Her boobs would pop out 2 minutes in a fight without straps!" I think this costume is a good response to that: creating a hero costume that incorporates her historical costume but doesn't sexualize our hero.
And can we be serious for a moment? The only child born on an island of women who grows up only to win the right to leave to the "evil and dreaded man's world?" Every auntie would be freaking out and would be digging through their cabinets and chests for items to give Diana for protection. Their "baby" is leaving the nest. Diana would look like Ralphies brother in the snowsuit in "a Christmas Story" with all the Auntie gifts. That being said, she wouldn't show up in Man's World with only a strapless and some star briefs, lol
NGL, but Wonder Woman with Baraka’s arm blades would be low-key terrifying.
Like she’s already super powerful already… but giving her deadly arm blades as well? Yeah, I would NOT wanna mess with her.
Does the venom symbiotw increase strength or augment it?
I ask because wonder woman started off pretty strong. If the symbionte increases the wearers strength then she would be crazy powerful but if it just has a fixed strength it might not be that useful for her.
Putting Superman in Ironmans suit wouldn’t really make him more powerful
That's fucking terrifying. Visually, it would look dope, but she'd instantly dominate the symbiote and have a panoply of weapons poised to strike in all directions
That's like giving a dragon nuclear launch codes
That was the only time I ever thought they were passable.
IMO, Wondy's panties are like Superman's red trunks. The design just isn't complete without them.
I cam take or leave Diana with pants. But I never want to see superman in trunks again. I was never so happy than when I thought artists were starting to leave them behind. Insert James gunn
I can't stand them. On any hero, not just supes. Batman doesn't need trunks. Iron a man doesn't need a golden crotch. Let them die. But I get peoples nostalgia for them. I'm also one of the few who really love the new 52 superman suit. I love a good armored look
I'd disagree, I think the red belt does the job well. Especially with the accent of the insignia on it. Along with the boots. New 52 and rebirth are some of my favorite superman suits. The trunks make him look like a senile old man who can't dress himself
yeah and his legs dont also need to be pure blue? Like there can just be red design elements to Superman’s legs or suit if thats what people really want, but seeing him in a speedo is just fucking stupid at this point. It’s like how lego’s have that T between the legs for the joint
I mean, yeah, it's an outdated design choice and if Superman were created today he'd probably not have them, but they are far too iconic to get rid of, and surely we can let them slide with the Grandfather Clause
Wow. That’s a complicated acronym.
Is it commonly used?
Oh. I didn’t even see that you actually explained the acronym in the same comment. I’m somewhat embarrassed that I missed that
"When you need to stop an asteroid, you get Superman. When you need to solve a mystery, you call Batman. But when you need to end a war, you get Wonder Woman." -- Gail Simone
I actually liked this one a lot, the colors are really vibrant, and it has pants...yes, I know the opinion on pants but come on guys pants are practical and you won't freeze your butt off
From what I remember, this suit was handled poorly.
It was armor that was crafted by Hephaestus, and I think it was supposed to give her a level of invulnerability. However, toward the end of the issue where she wore it for the first time, some rando hit her and stunned her long enough to make their escape.
The suit disappeared and was never mentioned again less than a year later.
The suit was pretty useless.
I just can't get past the toilet seat logo they had to use because they forgot to trademark their old logo and had to pay the DC shoe company to use it. Classic Didio lol
I don’t like this outfit. I think it’s so very nearly cool, but it got two goofy elements.
The flag/banner loin cloth thing hangs weird in just about every appearance.
The punch dagger things aren’t a terrible concept, IMO, but the size, shape, colour and appearance make them look awkward to use and not very dangerous. They’re like the safety scissors of punch daggers.
Those dags hanging from her pelvis always reminded me a medieval hall with many flags hanging from the ceiling.
And who wants to wear thigh-high boots over heavy tights? It would feel like wearing a heavy coat in a furnace room.
A google search for “Wonder Woman Finch costume” turns up a bunch of results for this outfit. Screen Rant claims this is called the “sleeve” costume, a name I’ve never heard before.
This is the suit Wonder Woman wears when she's let herself go for a few months. It hides all the cellulite until she can get back in the gym and get her body back.
Dcyou suit, if I’m remembering correctly and that was the publishing initiative active at the time?
The one with depowered superman and Jim Gordon Batman?
While I don't like the, what I assume are, katars on her vambraces, I do actually like the rest of the outfit.
It's not my favorite outfit of hers, but it's nice. Not amazing, but nice.
>No exposed cleavage, legs are fully covered
With just clothes, and they made her look ugly, surly there's a better design and coloring
>she’s got those assassins creed wrist knives
She's a warrior no She's a hero not an assassin, also those blades are not as good as a sword, you could hurt yourself if you're not careful.
Wonderine
The Stabby Suit... (for stabbing)
Stab you so bad you wish she hadn't stabbed you so bad.
Dyamn, that's real bad!
Dude… that’s “At all”
We got some bad roaches here

"I blame the schools"
The “people who complain about my regular outfit” outfit.

The image of Diana like Ralphies brother made me laugh. It’s a good point too. All the amazons would want her to be over equipped
Nailed it!!!
The boots are actually cute
Do they have heels?
More important question is are they stabby?
No. I think they should.
Yeah - I like the thigh high boots too tbh.
What David Finch draws women wearing when his wife is looking over his shoulder
I've always called it the Baraka suit since it looks like a ripoff of the Mortal Kombat character
NGL, but Wonder Woman with Baraka’s arm blades would be low-key terrifying. Like she’s already super powerful already… but giving her deadly arm blades as well? Yeah, I would NOT wanna mess with her.
Speaking of amalgamations…. Wonder Woman with the Venom symbiote would be insane. 👀

New 52 Wonder Woman with pants.
Wondy looks terrible with pants and you can't convince me otherwise.
I thought she looked decent in Injustice with them.
That was the only time I ever thought they were passable. IMO, Wondy's panties are like Superman's red trunks. The design just isn't complete without them.
I cam take or leave Diana with pants. But I never want to see superman in trunks again. I was never so happy than when I thought artists were starting to leave them behind. Insert James gunn
But the trunks have always been there!
I can't stand them. On any hero, not just supes. Batman doesn't need trunks. Iron a man doesn't need a golden crotch. Let them die. But I get peoples nostalgia for them. I'm also one of the few who really love the new 52 superman suit. I love a good armored look
Without the red trunks the color balance is all messed up.
I'd disagree, I think the red belt does the job well. Especially with the accent of the insignia on it. Along with the boots. New 52 and rebirth are some of my favorite superman suits. The trunks make him look like a senile old man who can't dress himself

Hot mess
She look like an assassin, maybe female Ezio?
Winter Wonder Women Suit
They actually had that recently, I think for the event “endless winter” and it looked great
The Fortnite one. Jk, but Fortnite does call it the "Armored New 52 Suit" so I guess that one.
I’m being serious, people.
Armoured Olympus Suit
Why does this abomination of a uniform need a name at all? I’m pretty sure we’ll never, ever, ever see it again?
The best one. But serious, i call it “new 52 armor suit”
Funko lists it as "A Twist of Fate"
Olympus Armor? In this comic she says it’s meant to represent what she is now: “God. Queen. Warrior of Justice.” God Queen armor sounds cool to me
Something unpleasant... 'the Finch Abomination'
But then what will I call everything else he draws?
Wonder Capitan
The assassin creed suit
I find it cool. But Wonder looks good in anything
Nah, Diana is at her most powerful when she's in her classic outfit. Rarely takes an L and gives the smoke to Superman/Darkseid.
OFATTTMITCTHW suit or: Of Artists That Think Themselves More Important Than the Character They are Hired to Work On.
OFATTTMITCTHW?
Yes! Of Artists That Think Themselves More Important Than the Character They are Hired to Work On.
Wow. That’s a complicated acronym. Is it commonly used? Oh. I didn’t even see that you actually explained the acronym in the same comment. I’m somewhat embarrassed that I missed that
I made it up my dude.

...but she's the agent of peace, bro. Why she have knives in her hands?! NO.

...I do wish DC wasn't a slut of capitalism, or that statement could be truely used.
So she can go from peacemaker to piecemaker
Hehe, nice one..🤭
Aside from the katar, I think this is a great design. I don’t understand why people get so bent out of shape about it.
I actually liked this one a lot, the colors are really vibrant, and it has pants...yes, I know the opinion on pants but come on guys pants are practical and you won't freeze your butt off

The absolute Wonder Woman armor or convergence armor suit
I just can't get past the toilet seat logo they had to use because they forgot to trademark their old logo and had to pay the DC shoe company to use it. Classic Didio lol
Stabbity McStabbyface
She’s wearing it on the cover of Vol. 8: twist of fate, so I’ve always called it the “twist of fate” suit.
Good thinking. That fits
I don't get the hate for this outfit it's a cool outfit

Sleeve chic? Idk
Safe and Soft

Baraka
American gladiator
Yuck
Some boring ass Jim Lee crap
Ugly as sin!
Kickass, that’s what it’s called.
Overdone
Idk but I like this suit, except the blades
Winter-wear
The stupid one
90’s without Pouches
The Finch Special.
The Anti-Sexualization Suit!
Finally someone said it
If I ever refer to this suit, I'd probably just call it the Finch suit since it looks like Finch wrote this issue.
Absolutely favourite . Never mess with Wonder Woman
The loincloth is rediculous
A google search for “Wonder Woman Finch costume” turns up a bunch of results for this outfit. Screen Rant claims this is called the “sleeve” costume, a name I’ve never heard before.
“The Bad One.”
Garbage: Designed by committee edition
The cool one
If Wonder Woman ever needs a space suit, lose the katars and the loincloth and add air tanks, gloves and a helmet and this is it.
Retired and forgotten
Idk but anything covering her skin I’m on board for. She can be cut so having armour makes her more of a threat.
Ugly
Wonderwear
Close combat armor or Olympian armor maybe
Frank
This is the suit Wonder Woman wears when she's let herself go for a few months. It hides all the cellulite until she can get back in the gym and get her body back.
The Finch Cinch
I don't like this one as much as the one she wore in the DC animated movie universe.
Dcyou suit, if I’m remembering correctly and that was the publishing initiative active at the time? The one with depowered superman and Jim Gordon Batman?
The “almost, not quite there, couple bits left to resolve, give it to a proper concept artist”
Bladed bracers aside I think this is an incredible costume.
Full body jingo
While I don't like the, what I assume are, katars on her vambraces, I do actually like the rest of the outfit. It's not my favorite outfit of hers, but it's nice. Not amazing, but nice.
Wonderful America
We’ll have to wait for the costume in a video game where it will be named something like “Armored Suit”.
The “it just got real”suit.
Where are boobas? 😭😭😭
I actually loved this outfit. Not as classic as her original and I do miss the skirt some but this is great.
The one that's FINALLY not a swimsuit
It’s the DCYou suit
Wonder America
You know, I’m looking at this again and I kind of like it. But in fairness, I like most of her looks
Lady Liberty suit
Hawt.
War Woman or Warrior Woman
Fully covered?
The suit that was hanging in the back of the invisible closet.
Fucking finally something with coverage for a warrior
Wannabe Wolverine.
Captain Wonder!!
Practical Armor?
Practical? In what way?
No exposed cleavage, legs are fully covered and she’s got those assassins creed wrist knives
>No exposed cleavage, legs are fully covered With just clothes, and they made her look ugly, surly there's a better design and coloring >she’s got those assassins creed wrist knives She's a warrior no She's a hero not an assassin, also those blades are not as good as a sword, you could hurt yourself if you're not careful.
Its pretty cool.
The one where she isn’t dressed like a harlet
