<P> Nick Pumphrey stated that Wonder Woman stands as a non-violent beacon of hope and inspiration for women and men . Grant Morrison stated "I sat down and I thought,' I don't want to do this warrior woman thing .' I can understand why they're doing it, I get all that, but that's not what (Wonder Woman creator) William Marston wanted, that's not what he wanted at all! His original concept for Wonder Woman was an answer to comics that he thought were filled with images of blood - curdling masculinity, and you see the latest shots of Gal Gadot in the costume, and it's all sword and shield and her snarling at the camera . Marston's Diana was a doctor, a healer, a scientist ." </P> <P> William Marston's earliest works were notorious for containing "sapphic - undertones" subtext . Fredric Wertham's Seduction of the Innocent referred to her as the "lesbian counterpart to Batman" (whom he also identified as a homosexual). In the decades since, DC Comics attempted to downplay her sexuality, and comic book writers and artists didn't do much more than hint at Wonder Woman's erotic legacy . </P> <P> Grant Morrison's 2016 comic Wonder Woman: Earth One, which exists parallel to the current DC comics Rebirth canon, Diana is depicted being kissed on her right cheek by a blonde woman who has put her left arm around Diana . </P> <P> Wonder Woman feels she need not be "labelled sexually", that she "loves people for who they are" and is "just herself". Coming from a society that was only populated by women, "lesbian" in (the world's) eyes may have been "straight" for them . "Her culture is completely free from the shackles of heteronormativity in the first place so she wouldn't even have any' concept' of gender roles in sex ." Wonder Woman is suggested as being queer or bisexual, as she and another Amazon, Io, had reciprocal feelings for each other </P>
