====Pre-''Crisis''====
The [[Golden Age of Comic Books|Golden Age]] [[Wonder Woman (Earth-Two)|Wonder Woman]] had strength that was comparable to the Golden Age Superman. Wonder Woman was capable of bench pressing 15,000 pounds even before she had received her bracelets, and later hoisted a 50,000-pound boulder above her head to inspire Amazons facing the test.<ref>{{cite comic| writer=Charles Moulton| artist= Harry G.

She also had an array of mental and psychic abilities, as corresponding to Marston's interest in parapsychology and metaphysics. Such an array included ESP, astral projection, telepathy (with or without the [[Mental Radio]]), mental control over the electricity in her body, the Amazonian ability to turn brain energy into muscle power, etc.<ref>{{cite comic| writer= Charles Moulton| artist= Harry G.

''Wonder Woman'' #105 revealed that Diana was formed from clay by the Queen of the Amazons, given life and power by four of the [[Greek mythology|Greek]] and [[Roman mythology|Roman]] gods (otherwise known as the [[Greek pantheon|Olympian deities]]) as gifts, corresponding to her renowned epithet: "Beautiful as [[Aphrodite]], wise as [[Athena]], swifter than [[Hermes]], and stronger than [[Hercules]]", making her the strongest of the Amazons.<ref name="Wonder Woman (vol. 1) #105"/> Wonder Woman's Amazon training gave her limited [[telepathy]], profound scientific knowledge,<ref name="Wonder Woman (vol. 1) #105"/> and the ability to speak every language{{spaced ndash}}even [[caveman]]<ref name="Wonder Woman (vol. 1) #105"/> and Martian languages.<ref name="Wonder Woman (vol. 1) #115">''Wonder Woman'' #115 (July 1960)</ref>
