I want to be Wonder Woman, and other geeky thoughts

Long live, Nerds.  We are the ones who keep the world moving forward.

In looking back, I realize that I have often found myself connecting with the heroines of the stories that I read.  From an early age, I recall wondering why feminine characters were only in supporting roles in traditional science fiction.  I cannot describe how much I am enjoying seeing this standard changing over the past decade.

Enough, waxing, my favorite heroines include Honor Harrington, Princess Ariel (pilot of the Blue Lion of Voltron), Wonder Woman, and Katniss Everdeen.  To be honest, reading about a confident woman kicking ass and taking names while project beauty and intelligence is always will always be attractive.

Hi Vanessa. I can't see myself modelling any super heros' as they are not real and their values represent Hollywoods' ideas. My body would not do justice to any super hero, actress, public figure, sigh. Well I guess I just want to be and look the best I can with good ole country girl values. Am looking forward to see what some of the other girls want to be like.

I think it's just natural to think of yourself, once fully dressed, as someone else. We do take on a female name. With the recent flood of super hero movies lately, it's not surprising you want to pretend to be a female super hero.

“Crossplay” is a thing, and it looks like lots of fun. I would love to try Wonder Woman, but I think I’d rather give She Hulk a go. Or Warriana from the most recent season of Venture Brothers.

I saw a shirt the other day that said “Always be yourself...unless you can be She Hulk. Then always be She Hulk.” Pretty sure that’s lifted from a Batman joke, but I’d much rather be She Hulk than Batman.

I love cosplay. Really never thought of being a super heroine. My SO & I often enjoy role reversal which leads to interesting situations.

One look at my profile pic speaks for itself, lol! So happy to see a post like this.

The Huntress is such an icon to me. When I tried on my first purple one piece bathing suit, she was who I was imagining to be. She's so fierce, takes no one's bs, and at times was sassy (kinda like me sorta lol!). So obsessed with her, but I'm totally a comics geek. Her fierceness just spoke to me, brought my femme side out of me.

<p style="text-align: left;">If i were to cosplay as someone then i would go for Gamora or Sylvanas (WoW player here, have always preffered playing female characters).</p>
London Comic Con this weekend, should be fun!

I would cosplay as Rem.  Who's Rem?

Hi Vanessa,
Gee, I would settle for looking like Diana Prince... I love WW and really embrace all of the female super heroines, they are so much more interesting than the masc counterparts. which WW do you like? since I am of a certain era, I tend to go with Lynda Carter - but I did enjoy the recent movie.
looking forward to Captain Marvel...

Julie,

Lynda Carter is so iconic, but I was so taken with Gal Gadot in her recent movie I really want to emulate her take on the character. And same, I can't wait for Captain Marvel

Not a super hero, but certainly from the geek universe, I'd love to play Dr. Beverly Crusher.  Such a gorgeous redhead who could heal broken bones in a heartbeat and got to fly around the galaxy.

Well, I have a difficult time trying to put a name down which hasn’t already been noted. But I think MacKenzie put a name out there which is my most favorite space opera character to read. If I were to be able to be or portray any female heroine real or fictional I would definitely pick Honor Harrington. If you have never heard nor read of the character Honor Harrington then you need to read “At Basilisk Station” by David Weber. He is a tremendously enjoyable author and brings this character to life. As for a heroine she is not only beautiful and brilliant but a genius at space naval combat tactics and has read a lot of wet navy history so she uses some of those tactics in her battle plans. I apologize for being a bit profuse on a book character but this character is just so well rounded and good it makes the books a quick read and enjoyable to boot. Next time you are at a book store look in the sci-fi section and find Weber, David. There are quite a few books written by him but try the Honor Harrington series on for size. If you love sci-fi like I do then you will love these books. Love ❤️ and hugs 🤗

Catwoman simple as that, once did dress like her and walked around town nothing on except the cat suit with false breast and knee length black leather boots me.....ow! Loved it Deborah x

I was 12 when the Wonder Woman TV series came to the UK.  The boys at school ridiculed me for watching it: by some bizarre logic of theirs, watching a beautiful woman throwing bad guys around meant I was gay.  Huh?  It became another secret love along with the crossdressing.  I often did that arms out & spin just hoping for that flash of light...

As such I've often craved a Wonder Woman costume, but now that I've aged I think its too late for me.  Then along comes Gal Gadot in that lovely armour and I start the craving again.

Wonder Woman has been shown older with grey hairs in some variations of the comics (eg. Kingdom Come,) so I guess I should never say never.

And if I am still feeling rather too mature for that, there's always Victoria from the Red movies!
