Synopsis

"Revolt Of The Wonder Weapons"Having recently regained her super powers, Wonder Woman is tasked with completing several trials to prove her worthiness to rejoin the Justice League of America. Her seventh trial is monitored by the Red Tornado. Having spied a tenement fire from her office window, Diana Prince changes into her Wonder Woman costume. Summoning her invisible jet, Wonder Woman is stunned when it suddenly crashes into the East River. Casting her lasso out to snag a pylon on the Queensboro Bridge, Wonder Woman snaps across several city blocks, to arrive at the scene of the blaze. Lassoing the top two floors of the burning tenement, Wonder Woman draws the fire out with her magic lasso, and deposits it into the East River. Across town, a grateful man, newly elected Chairman Of The Board, at his company, appoints Damon Celestris to the board of directors. Using a machine of his own design, Celestris is able to broadcast the power of positive thought into his clients, giving them the self-confidence to achieve their goals.Of late, though, every time Wonder Woman comes within close proximity to Celestris' machine, it overloads and explodes. Out of spite for constantly having to repair his machine, Celestris broadcasts negative thoughts into Wonder Woman, centering on the usage of her equipment. Wonder Woman asks her mother, Queen Hippolyta, to aid her in retrieving her invisible jet. While consulting her mother, on Themyscira, Wonder Woman spies a fellow Amazon falling from a cliff side. Wonder Woman hurls her magic lasso, only to have it wind itself around her. Using the power of the magic lasso, Wonder Woman commands herself to rescue the falling amazon. Though it isn't pretty, Wonder Woman manages to break the Amazon's fall. Consulting the Magic Sphere, Wonder Woman and Queen Hippolyta see the face of Celestris, though neither recognize him. The Red Tornado observes Wonder Woman's attempt to thwart a simple bank heist. Throwing her tiara causes it to boomerang...
