<P> Her tiara's signature star symbol is now an eight pointed starburst . According to designer Lindy Hemming and director Patty Jenkins, every design decision made for Themyscira came down to the same question: "How would I want to live that's badass?" "To me, they shouldn't be dressed in armor like men . It should be different . It should be authentic and real (...) and appealing to women ." When asked about the decision to give the Amazons heeled sandals, Jenkins explained that they also have flats for fighting, adding "It's total wish - fulfillment (...) I, as a woman, want Wonder Woman to be sexy, hot as hell, fight badass, and look great at the same time (...) the same way men want Superman to have ridiculously huge pecs and an impractically big body . That makes them feel like the hero they want to be . And my hero, in my head, has really long legs ." This corresponds to the original intent by William Moulton Marston, who wanted his character to be alluringly feminine . </P> <P> The Pre-Crisis version of the invisible plane was a necessity because before the Crisis on Infinite Earths rewrote Wonder Woman's history--along with the histories of many other heroes--Wonder Woman simply could not fly . She grew increasingly powerful through the Silver Age of comic books and beyond, acquiring the power to ride wind currents thus allowing her to imitate flight over short distance . This had limitations, however; for example, if there was no wind and the air was completely still she would be trapped on the ground or if dropped from a distance that she would helplessly fall out of control to the ground . Though this meant that she would rely on the invisible plane less frequently, she always had need of it . </P> <P> The Invisible Plane was a creation of Diana's during her younger years on Paradise Island . She created it to be an improvement on her mother's planes which would be shot down in Man's World . The result of her innovation was an invisible plane that could fly at terrific speeds silently and not be detected by hostile forces, thus avoiding unpleasant conflict . Initially, it was portrayed as being transparent . </P> <P> The Invisible Plane appeared in the very first comic stories, including All - Star Comics #8, where it is shown as being able to fly at over 2,000 mph (3,200 km / h) and to send out rainbow rays that penetrate the mist around Paradise Island, as well as landing stealthily and having a built - in radio . Wonder Woman is seen storing the plane at an abandoned farm near Washington, D.C., in the barn; she goes there as Lt. Prince and changes clothes in some of the earliest tales . Though never explicitly stated, the Plane is presumably stored there when not in use for the rest of the Pre-Crisis era . In a story made shortly after, it flies at 40 miles (64 km) a second . </P>
