| Justice League of America # 69 |
The I-Ching Era was DC taking away the powers of one of their most powerful heroines to give her the Modesty Blase/ Emma Peel treatment, I imagine. The idea any hero would renounce his/her gifts for some vague, crappy, patronizing reasons never sits well with me. But it seems Steve Trevor was wrongfully accused of murder and she can't help him as herself. Oh no. She needs to go underground to find the culprit and she needs to be "powerless" to do this. She was taken under the wing of a Chinese mentor called I Ching, who taught her martial arts and weapons training. Yes, Amazonian training is nothing important. They are not warriors. And even if she was depowered, she could not do anything so silly as remember it. Anyway she stays like this for two years, where she is Diana Prince and she has spy like adventures and runs a boutique. Oh Diana. Anyway, she breaks it to the Justice League that she has to leave them, cause powerless she is useless. Cough, Batman? Green Arrow? Superman refuses to accept her resignation and says he will give her a leave of absence. And Barry (the Flash) picks up on the fact that Clark and Diana have feelings for each other and that there has always been a sense of inevitability with them. Only as with many instances, bad timing and well, DC steps in and they lose each other.
