How Much does Wonder Woman Weigh ?


A woman's ideal body weight is dependent upon her height and age. 

The taller you are the how much does wonder woman weigh? She weighs about as much, unrealistically, as a 6'0" woman who is extremely athletic and very powerful: 64 kgs(140 lbs). TBH, I suspect that there's some fanboy wish fulfillment going on here, and that she's been given measurements which are disproportionate to her abilities and to reality(at least as far a comic book can go anyways, lol). 


A woman of any average size with an athletic frame is going to weigh quite a bit more than this, with 6'+ women in the WNBA hovering around 170lbs...and even then, those ladies look rather skinny compared to the full-figured and powerful Wonder Woman, lol. On top of this, I would expect that because she is created from clay by the Olympian gods that she would also bear some additional extra mystical weight which would allow for her super-strength, durability, etc.

Of course, it could be exactly that extra mystical aspect which accounts for her super-abilities...such as making her heavier and more dense under certain scenarios, such as during combat, etc. and more like normal weight when she's under more civil conditions(so as not to crush buildings or supporting structures, etc), she *can* fly, after all. 

Just eyeballing it, I would more realistically put Wonder Woman's weight at somewhere about 175-225 lbs *at least*, if not WAY more...like in the multiple hundreds if we're talking about mystical Olympian clay-flesh that is "as strong as the earth"(and for those of you screaming that this would make her the same weight as Superman, just keep in mind that I have the same preconceptions about him as well).
