I have been addicted to the television show called "Young Justice" that comes on Cartoon Network. It's about a group of potential heroes who one day hope to become part of the Justice League. The main characters of the Young Justice group contain Aqualad (he's black and the leader, Hooray!!), Superboy, Robin (the Richard 'Dick' Grayson version, not Tim Drake), Miss Martian, Artemis, Kid Flash, and Zatanna. The show itself isn't all that great. It's SUPER FREAKING AWESOME!!! This is probably one of the greatest superhero TV show that I have ever seen (beside "Batman: The Animated Series"). The story is great, and the animation is top notch. One of the animators, Philip Bourassa, won an Emmy Award in 2011 for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation.
But what I wanted to talk about here is the fact that Wonder Girl is not in the series. This really pisses me off! Wonder Girl is one of my all time favorite comic book character (besides Raven from the Teen Titans). Wonder Girl is such an awesome character, and she is pivotal in the Young Justice and Teen Titans comics. So what went wrong here?!
Apparently, there was trouble with the licensing for Wonder Girl, so the writers were unable to include her in the beginning of the series. However, now the creators announced earlier this year that there were no more problems with the copyrights of Wonder Girl. YEEESSSS!!!
I am so excited right now! I really hope that they include her in season 2 (now that season one is almost over). If they don't have her in the next season, I will go ape shit crazy! You hear that writers! Put Wonder Girl on the goddamn show! Please?
I wonder which version of Wonder Girl will the writers use. Will they use Donna Troy or Cassandra Sandsmark? I would really like the writers to use Cassandra Sandsmark. They could have her adore Wonder Woman so much that she dresses like her (even using a black wig), and soon they discover that she is Cassandra Sandsmark (and that she is really blonde). I really want them to use Cassandra in this version. I know that some of the members of the team are from the older version of the comics, but they've changed so much other stuff that using Cassandra wouldn't make much of a difference now. PLEASE USE CASSANDRA!
To show my love of Wonder Girl (DC Comics) here is some background information on her.
Wonder Girl is a super heroine who is named Cassandra "Cassie" Elizabeth Sandsmark. She is the daughter of Zeus and archaeologist, Helena Sandsmark. She heavily idolized Wonder Woman, and she stole magical artifacts so that she could be a super hero. Upon finding out that her father is Zeus, Cassie begs Zeus for her own powers. Zeus fulfills her wish, but knowing how his previous children behaved with their powers, he gave her mother the power to temporarily remove them with a single touch. Helena rarely (if even ever) used this power. However, Cassie is soon able to draw from her own power (being a demi-goddess), and she is even more powerful than she was ever. Cassie is considered to be an "Olympian Powerhouse." It is debatable if Helena can even take away Cassie's powers now that she is not drawing her power from Zeus.
Her primary powers are superhuman strength (she can lift an excess of 100 tons), flight, superhuman speed, agility, and superhuman durability. Apparently now (look at the picture above), she can create force fields. Instead of a Lasso of Truth like Wonder Woman, Cassie has a Lasso of Lighting which can channel Zeus's lightening. Oh yeah, she is a bad ass. She's even best friends with Kara Zor-El (Super Girl). What I am interested to see in the "Young Justice" cartoon is how they are going to present Cassie as a potential girlfriend to SuperBoy. In the comics, SuperBoy and Cassie are in very much in love. At one point in the comic, they have sex with each other (before SuperBoy's famous death). Honestly, I really don't like M'gann in the show. She's too much a goody-two-shoes. I just want Cassie to be the "BITCH" and break them up. SuperBoy and Wonder Girl for life!!
