The Story of Wonder Woman #229

Wonder Woman, “playing possum” after being struck by the Red Panzer’s returning time-ship, catches her foe off-guard. The Panzer flees but the Amazon princess pursues him in his own rocket. Their battle ends unexpectedly when Diana’s bracelets are fused together, stripping her of her super-powers. She hurtles to the streets of Washington below. The Panzer reclaims his ship and escapes. Steve Trevor, Wonder Woman’s boyfriend, uses tools from his car to pry apart her bracelets and restore her powers. General Blankenship of Military Intelligence and his secretary, Etta Candy, discuss the negative effect knowing the Amazing Amazon has had on Major Trevor’s ego. Hippolyte summons Wonder Woman to Paradise Island. Explaining that Diana lost to the Red Panzer because her foreknowledge of the Allies’ eventual victory subconsciously dulled her usual fighting edge, the queen uses WW’s magic lasso to erase her daughter’s memories of the future. Resuming her other identity as Trevor’s secretary, Yeoman First Class Diana Prince, our heroine learns that Etta has accidentally passed top-secret information to Steve, information Blankenship did not want him to have. The general’s lack of confidence in Trevor may be warranted: when Trevor impetuously bursts in on the Panzer and his men as they go over their plans, he is taken prisoner. Two hours later, Wonder Woman returns to the Panzer’s lab only to find herself rendered powerless when her bracelets are once more bound together through trickery. Using a device called a “brainwave neutralizer” to take over Camp Halsey, the Panzer forces the Amazon to enter the base’s guided missile testing range and face a barrage of weapons reconfigured to home in on her bracelets. After the explosion of the first missile frees her wrists, Wonder Woman takes a desperate chance by removing her bracelets, knowing full well that this will cause her to fly into a berserker rage as a result. Meanwhile, the Panzer places Trevor in his Panzer-Ship in order to hurl him into a future time where he will die. This will somehow change the destined outcome of the war. An out-of-control Wonder Woman bursts in, frees Steve and begins pummeling the Red Panzer and his men mercilessly. Her rage abates only after Trevor retrieves her discarded bracelets and slips them back onto her wrists, restoring her sanity before she can kill her foe. The Panzer and his men are taken into custody. Later, General Blankenship grudgingly forgives Etta for disobeying his orders.
