Wonder Woman is the first widely-recognized female superhero in comics. She is one of the Amazons, a group of female warriors from Greek mythology. Her original name is Princess Diana of Themyscira and possesses these tools: a lasso of truth, indestructible bracelets, and a tiara that acts like a boomerang. Her purpose is to fight for peace, love, justice, and gender equality, making her a symbol of feminism.
The Green Lantern is a series starring one particular green lantern, Hal Jordan, who fights evil with the help of his green ring. He is one of the many superheroes created during a craze in the 1940s.
Both comics were released by DC Comics and represent superhuman people whose purpose is to rid the world of bad. Wonder Woman gains her super features from blessings from each of the Greek goddesses. Green Lantern gets his features from the ring he possesses and his alien heritage. Diana is a strategist and very intelligent. She analyzes situations carefully before taking a step. Meanwhile, Hal is very impulsive. He thinks very highly of himself and jumps into the middle of trouble before magically escaping scratch-free.
The Green Lantern represents the stereotypical macho man, adding to the stereotypes and pressures in society towards men. Wonder Woman relieves women of the stereotype on them in society with her feminine features, wit, AND physical strength.
