Wonder Woman's ability to fly has varied significantly throughout her 80-year history. In her early Golden Age appearances, she primarily used her super-strength to "leap tall buildings in a single bound" and relied on her Invisible Jet for long-distance travel. In the 1950s, she was often depicted "gliding on air currents," a power later refined in the 1980s Post-Crisis reboot, where she was officially gifted the power of flight by the god Hermes. In modern 2026 comics, she is a fully flight-capable superhero. In the DC Extended Universe films, Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman initially only possessed super-leaping abilities, but she famously learned to harness the wind and fly in Wonder Woman 1984. While her flight isn't always as fast as Superman's, it remains a core part of her divine power set, symbolizing her connection to the Olympian gods.
