60 free Wonder Woman trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
This Wonder Woman trivia quiz spans more than eighty years of the character, from her October 1941 debut in All Star Comics to the DC Extended Universe films. Expect questions on William Moulton Marston and the unusual household that inspired her, the Golden Age clay origin versus the modern daughter-of-Zeus retcon, the powerless mod-boutique years, George Pérez's 1987 relaunch and the recent renumbering that jumped straight to issue #750. The screen adaptations get equal time. Lynda Carter's 1975-79 series (and the spin she invented on set), the unaired 2011 pilot, Patty Jenkins's 2017 film, its banned release in Lebanon, and Wonder Woman 1984's Christmas Day arrival on HBO Max all turn up, along with the Lasso of Truth, the bracelets, the tiara and the Invisible Plane. Questions range from easy warm-ups to genuinely obscure comics history. Every answer was checked against Wikipedia's articles on the character, the films, the series and the people involved, and each question links to the sentence that supports it, so you can settle arguments in the comments with a source.
