What's With the Name?

When I was a kid, I loved superheroes.  Specifically, the kickass female superheroes of the late 70s/early 80s.  (well, and KISS, but that's another story)

Wonder Woman was my absolute favorite.  I had the underoos, the Wonder Woman utility belt (tiara, bracelets, belt and magic lasso) and I used to walk around with my long dirty blonde hair all wet because I thought it made it look dark like Wonder Woman's.

I also was really into this coloring book, "Wonder Woman and the Menace of the Mole Men."  Upon tracking down and shelling out an embarrassing amount of cash for a couple of these on eBay, I discovered that the plot was a little...shall we say...risque?  At least for a Kindergartener.
