Wonder Woman 147

Synopsis for ”Bird-Girl -- Fish-Girl”
Mer-Boy hitches an airborne ride with Bird-Boy, both of whom keep from touching Paradise Island as they watch Wonder Girl pass a battery of tests implemented by the ”goddess” Athena. As a reward, Athena dubs Wonder Girl a true Amazon, and tells her she will grant the first request made of her. Mer-Boy and Bird-Boy make their requests simultaneously, wishing that Wonder Girl be turned into a mermaid or a bird-girl so that she can spend all her time with one of them. Wonder Girl cannot decide which she will choose, so Athena chooses for her, giving her wings and bird-like legs to go first with Bird-Boy. Wonder Girl meets Bird-Boy’s parents and friends, but finds she has no taste for worm pie or birdseed pizza. She fights off a flying Sphinx, but tells Athena she was not meant to be a bird-girl. Next, she is transformed into a mermaid, and accompanies Mer-Boy, only to find that she is ”a fish out of water”, despite defeating a giant centipede. Athena restores Wonder Girl to normalcy, and both Mer-Boy and Bird-Boy hope they still have a chance at Wonder Girl’s heart.

What a wonderful help this will be to me — in helping me fight crime and injustice in Man’s World!

—Wonder Womansrc
The Invisible Plane is Wonder Woman’s primary mode of transportation for long distance travel. While Diana was gifted with the power of flight, situations that required transporting groups of people or cargo made the jet exceptionally useful, even in space travel.

History
Earth-Two
It is not known who created the invisible Robot Plane, but Queen Hippolyta knew where to find it. Giving her daughter Diana (Wonder Woman) the instruction with the directions of where to find its parts lost around the world, the brave princess faced the challenges and located the three parts of the plane, placing them together. On the plane itself it was written that it would respond to the voice only of the one who successfully joined its parts, which made Wonder Woman the only one who could command the Amazon Plane, a wonderful help for her to fight crime and injustice in Man’s World.[1]
Earth-One
Wonder Woman’s invisible plane was originally the winged steed Pegasus transformed into a plane by Athena so that Wonder Woman had her own and fast means of transportation during her mission in the Man’s World.[2]
New Earth
Wonder Woman’s first plane was a product of the Lansinarian Morphing Disk, gifted to her by the Lansinarians. The subterranean technology could transform into a number of transparent items, and both Diana and Hippolyta used it to create a plane during their tenures as Wonder Woman. The disc eventually lost sentience, and was locked in plane shape.[3] It was, however, nonfunctioning.
One year later, Batman provided Wonder Woman with a jet that had the latest in stealth technology. It was not as invisible as the Lansinarian technology, but still fit her purposes.[4]
Prime Earth
The first Wonder Woman’s invisible plane was a modified U.S. aircraft piloted by Steve Trevor and repaired and made invisible by Amazon science after Steve accidentally crashed down on Paradise Island.[5] This plane disintegrated when it landed on a US beach bringing Diana and Steve from there.[6]
Later Wonder Woman owned at least two other models of invisible planes whose origins were unknown.[7][8] The Batman Who Laughs claimed that her invisible jet is composed of Eighth Metal, the purest form of metal used by gods, on worlds where she had one.[9]
At one time she had a single invisible jet that had been destroyed in Leviathan’s attack on A.R.G.U.S., but at Diana’s request, Steel (Natasha Irons) rebuilt the jet from a small remnant at the Steelworks. This fragment, according to Natasha, had characteristics of active camouflage based in light-bending polymers.[10] The jet can also respond to its owner’s telepathic command.[11]
The Invisible Jet gained the ability to change from invisible to completely visible, apparently through Diana’s mental control or will.[12]

Capabilities
Depending on its version, the Invisible Plane may have a wide range of capabilities:
* Flight
* Invisibility: The degree of invisibility of the Jet varies from partial to total depending on the version (in some cases changing between totally visible to totally invisible[12]), and may or may not hide people and cargo inside it.
* The Jet can also become invisible to radar.[13]
* Metamorphosis[2][3]
* Bio-Fission[3]
* Robot Body: Its Earth-Two’s version is a robot.[1]
* Super Durability: The Jet can withstand underwater pressures, the vacuum of outer space and the high temperatures of a volcano.[1]
* Super Speed: While the speed varies according to the version, the Earth-Two robot plane could reach 3000 miles/minute.[14]
* Telepathy[11]
* Teleportation[10]

Weapons
* Invisible Missiles[15]
* Lightning Blast[16]

Onboard Equipment
* Electronic Mist Beam: A powerful light ray that penetrates the dense clouds that hide Paradise Island, allowing Diana to land on the island with the Invisible Plane.[17]
* Omni-Screen[1]

Trivia
* In Wonder Woman ’77 Meets the Bionic Woman (Volume 1), Diana refers to the plane in the female, using the pronoun ”she”.[18]
