As live action comic book heroines go, probably the best ever was Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman.
She rivals Chris Reeve as Superman as far as fan loyalty goes even to this day.
At five foot nine, 122-130 pounds and measuring 38-25-35, she filled out the red, white and blue costume quite well.
But it wasn't only that.
This Wonder Woman was kind, gentle and even when faced with the worst bad guys, she implored them to turn over a new leaf and give up their life of crime.
And if they didn't, she used minimum force to take them out.
I prefered the first season, but in the second season episode, Anschluss '77, Nazis hiding in South America tried to rebuild the Third Reich by cloning Hitler.
There is a scene where Wonder Woman sees the "new" Nazis gathering and she has flashbacks to World War 2 as she is watching them.
That was a pretty powerful scene for a show that was usually just fluff.
