Dr Veronica Cale:

A scientist and CEO who thinks it's a good idea to nab Doctor Psycho from prison in order to do experiments on how his mental powers work, and purchase the newest Silver Swan to learn more about the modifications done to the poor girls body. She also intends to find a way to mentally control both of the aforementioned villains to turn them into her own lackeys. She's basically a female Lex Luthor

December 7th - Queen Atomia 

The despotic Queen Atomia is the ruler of a sub-atomic realm.  She and her kingdom were enlarged as a result of the testing of atomic weapons by the U.S. Military.  Atomia saw the human world as rich with the spoils of conquest and set out to siphon the Earth's uranium so to empower her own world.  Each time she attempted to destroy Earth, she and her legion of female warriors were defeated by Wonder Woman.  In The DC Rebirth continuity, Atomia is the ruler of a sub-atomic galaxy that was discovered when the Amazons of Themyscaria attempted to break the quantum membrane.  Seeking to conquer Themyscaria, Atomia led her Army of Quark against Queen Hippolyta.   The Amazons were successful in fending off Atomia’s forces and the villainess was forced to retreat back into her sub-atomic realm.  Queen Atomia  first appeared in the pages of Wonder Woman #21 (1947).

No! No! We have the power to help Earth people. We must love, not hate!

With Atomia reformed she returns to her atom kingdom and resolves to use atomic radiation to heal the patients at a nearby children’s hospital (so all of these kids are going to end up developing spider-powers, right?). Modern readers may think the images of disabled children being miraculously healed enforces old abelist tropes, but it’s important to remember that when this was written Marston had lost the use of his own legs to polio. So we should look at this more as Marston’s way of coping with his own disability.

Reading this issue, it occurred to me that it perfectly encapsulates the central idea of power in the WW-mythos. All of the great superheroes are about power in some way, the responsibility of it (Spider-Man), the dangers of it (Hulk), the pursuit of it in the face of being powerless (Batman). Wonder Woman is about how power is gendered. In Marston’s comics power is held by masculine figures and by feminine figures, additionally power itself can be wielded for masculine means or feminine means. Mars is an example of masculine figure wielding power for masculine means--he is a male god whose end goal is war and destruction. Aphrodite and Wonder Woman are feminine figures wielding power for feminine means--peace and prosperity. Masculine power is dominant and selfish, feminine power is submissive and altruistic. WW’s method of crime fighting is to feminize her adversaries--which means making them submit to her feminine power.

What’s so fascinating about this issue is how seamlessly Marston grafts his themes of gender and power onto the big debate of the time. The looming destructive potential of atomic energy is tamed and made beneficial to mankind through the feminine power of Loving Submission.

I weld thy Venus Girdle on thee with the rays of eternal love! No power can remove it. Forever thy heart shall overflow with kindness. Thou shalt ever be devoted to the worship of love, beauty and humanity!

After Atomia’s Venus Girdle falls off Wonder Woman takes her to the temple of Aphrodite to fix it. It just goes to show, nothing conquers evil like the power of girl-on-girl love with a little bondage D/s mixed in. What a great moral to teach kids!

I’m not in the mood to play, but if you insist!

I always love how golden age Wonder Woman treated the usual superhero business of brawling with the henchmen like it was game. A big ol’ Lesbian Bondage Game. But sooner or later she’d get tired of playing and the real superhero work for her began--reforming her rogues. Which, incidentally, also involved lesbian bondage.
