365 Days of Defiance, Day 221: DC Two-in-One

It's Wonder Woman and Wonder Woman! That is, Diana teaming up with her mom, to take down supervillains selling superweapons to Nazis on, I dunno, 1940s eBay, in a story that could only be called

First, a moment of quiet reflection aboard a airplane with no visible in-flight entertainment and you can't even find the packets of peanuts. By the way, Diana is dressed as obscure 1940s heroine Miss America for Plot Reasons™ (but a mom always knows).

Enough mutual admiration, goils, let's get this party started*! (*Song not by U2.)


Honestly, I don't know of no better way to make your entrance during the years 1939-1945 than by bustin' in and tearin' up a big-ass Nazi flag! Actually, that same rule applies to 2016-present.


How do you think Hippolyta will disarm supervillain Armageddon?


Whoa! That works. This is just like that song "Harper Valley P.T.A.", except instead of wearing a miniskirt, the mom just lops the guy's whole arm off.

So, the moral of the story is this: When just one princess warrior will do against a buncha Nazis and their collaborators, use the double-Wonder action of new Wonder Woman Squared! It gets Nazis out!
