And now we come to the bustiest superhero chick - Wonder Woman! Well, "bustiest" so far as being known for having big boobs!
Wonder Woman (WW from here on) is a princess of an island of Amazon warriors. Her mother is Queen Hippolyta, and her sister is Donna Troy. If not called WW, then she is also known as Princess Diana, or simply Diana. Others have worn the WW costume, including her mother and her sister, but Diana is the one most famous for wearing it. More on the costume below.
WW actually had her start way back in the early 1940's. As with most superheros with such an early start, explanations had to be given as to how someone who was in at least their 20's back in 1940 can still look so young more than 60 years later. Most of the time, the explanation is, "it's not the same person". See, 1940's WW is referred to as "Earth 2 WW", the one that met Steve Trevor and so forth. That WW actually had a daughter. The WW from the 1950's thru about 1985 is "Earth 1 WW". Wait, how did Earth 2 come before Earth 1? Don't think about it - it'll only make your head hurt.
After 1985, the current WW can be called, basically, "modern era WW". This WW still has the magic lasso, but it only forces them to tell the truth, and that's only if they choose to talk. If they don't want to talk, then they don't have to. But if they DO talk, then what comes out of their mouths is only the truth. The lasso of the past compelled whomever was ensnared in it to do the bidding of the holder of the lasso - usually WW, but it could be used by anyone, and that person could compel even WW to do their bidding if she happened to be ensnared in it.
Whatever era you look at, her origin is basically the same - Amazon Queen Hippolyta desires a child, even though she is on an island of only women. Guided by the ancient Greek goddesses, she forms a child with clay, and the goddesses cause that clay baby to form into a real baby. However, this baby has special abilities even beyond her superhuman and virtually immortal fellow Amazon sisters.
She comes to the U.S. for different reasons in each era, but basically she is serving as a sort of ambassador of Themyscira, the name of her home (also known as "Paradise Island"). Once she meets up with other superheroes, she joins their organizations - the Justice League. In whatever form the JL takes, she's always one of the founding members. Her, Superman and Batman form a core threesome that basically guide the other superheroes of the DC Comics universe. In recent years, she was in a controversy in which she purposefully broke a villain's neck in order to stop his mental control of Superman.
WW's costume has changed considerably over the years, but even in those early years, she showed cleavage - so she always had boobs. It's gone from the stiff bodice with skirt and clunky boots to the one-piecer with strange and impractical "ballet booties" to the stiletto heel boots to the current and more practical flat-soled boot. The cut of the leg openings can vary - depending on the artist drawing her - from a cut that covers her whole butt to one that is "wedgie wear". She's always almost always had the bracelets and headband/tiara, even though those have changed in appearance over the years as well.
WW is also known for a scene in this video clip from an episode in the Cartoon Network show, Justice League Unlimited, titled "Dark Heart". Check it out!

Excellent analysis of Wonder Woman's breasts, and their devastating effect upon the diminutive form of The Atom. You have convinced me. Completely.
Women should not have anything to do with producing comics, or cartoons. Or with nit-picking them. It's been awhile since I've seen just a few paragraphs suck so much fun out of something.
What in the world is wrong with Ray? WW says it's time for him to get out, and away he goes? Dude's priorities are seriously out of whack.
