    This makes it sound like Wonder Woman was de-powered fairly soon after Moulton died. In fact, she stayed a super-powered superhero for another 20 years after Moulton's death. It wasn't until 1968...

    Unfortunately, after Marston died in 1947, the writers who came after him greatly reduced Wonder Woman’s feminist ethos by having her relinquish her powers within the narrative so that she might stay with her love interest, Steve Trevor.

    With her superhuman powers gone, Wonder Woman assumed the identity of Diana Prince and fought crime using her martial arts and weapons skills alone.
