Wonder Woman started being able to glide through the air in 1958, she got true flight in 1985 post Crisis on Infinite Earths when she was rebooted. The Invisible Plane dates from Wonder Woman's introduction in Sensation Comics #1 from 1942. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Well to be fair, the original creatore of Wonder Woman was an .. interesting guy. He was involved in a polyamorous relationship, apparently did talk a lot of things around the nature of submission and domination, wanted to create a superhero who revolved around "love" rather than simple "destruction", and supposedly based a lot of WW on his domestic partner, the triad of him and his wife. On the random, he also created the systolic blood pressure test after his wife noted the correlation of emotions to blood pressure. And for that classic quote about his work and from him: One of the purposes of these bondage depictions was to induce eroticism in readers as a part of what he called "sex love training." Through his Wonder Woman comics, he aimed to condition readers to becoming more readily accepting of loving submission to loving authorities rather than being so assertive with their own destructive egos. About male readers, he later wrote: "Give them an alluring woman stronger than themselves to submit to, and they'll be proud to become her willing slaves!"
