“Never Gonna Be the Same Again” is a feature where I look at how bold, seemingly “permanent” changes were ultimately reversed. This is not a criticism, mind you, as obviously things are always going to eventually return to “normal.” That’s just how superhero comic books work. It’s just fun to see how some of these rather major changes are reversed. This is differentiated from “Abandoned Love,” which is when a new writer comes in and drops the plot of the previous writer. Here, we’re talking about the writer who came up with the idea being the same one who resolved the change. This is also differentiated from “Death is Not the End,” which is about how “dead” characters came back to life, since this is about stuff other than death. Today, we look at how Wonder Woman recovered from blinding herself in battle against Medusa.
One of the coolest Wonder Woman moments of the past 25 years occurred during Greg Rucka’s Wonder Woman run. In Wonder Woman #210 (by Rucka, Drew Johnson and Ray Snyder. Ron Randall probably had something involved in it as well), Wonder Woman was forced to battle Medusa. To set the scene, Medusa had returned, and she was waging war against the goddess Athena, and the only way you can really hurt a goddess is to take it out on the goddess’ champion, which was Wonder Woman. Medusa murdered the child of one of Wonder Woman’s embassy workers. She then formally challenged Wonder Woman to a trial by combat. Wonder Woman is essentially forced to accept, even though this is pretty much a battle to the death.
Times are tough, so Wonder Woman…well, she had to get a bit tougher. She grabbed one of the snakes from Medusa’s hair that she chopped off, and used the venom from the snake to blind herself…
