Giganta--the Gorilla Girl

When Doctor Psycho notices Diana Prince and Steve Trevor near the cage of Giganta, a female gorilla, he decides to victimize Wonder Woman by hypnotizing Giganta into falling in love with Steve Trevor. The gorilla grabs Steve and, when Diana changes into Wonder Woman, overpowers the heroine, but falls victim to the magic lasso. A man named Professor Zool arrives on the scene, asking that the gorilla be turned over to him for evolutionary experimentation, and Psycho decides to capitalize on this. He and his gang later render Giganta unconscious with gas, break her out of the zoo, and take her to Zool, whom they force to subject the gorilla to an evolution-ray. Giganta becomes a huge and powerful blonde woman who is *still* in love with Steve Trevor, and Psycho tells her that she will have to get Wonder Woman out of the way before she can romance him. Giganta does briefly defeat Wonder Woman in battle and claim Steve, but the Amazon subdues her with the magic lasso and takes her to Paradise Island for rehabilitation.

| StoryTitle2 = Danger -- Wonder Woman | Synopsis2 = While pulling a jewel robbery with her gang, female criminal Paula von Gunta sees Wonder Woman walking by with Steve, unaware of the crime being pulled off, and becomes infatuated with Steve. Accordingly, Paula undergoes a crash beauty treatment and has her gang make attempts to kill Wonder Woman, all of which fail. Finally, the villainess steals Wonder Woman's magic lasso and encircles her with it, placing the heroine under her control. Through hypnotic control, Paula makes Wonder Woman remove her bracelets, thus turning her into a berserker, and has her wreck a train Steve is riding on. However, the train's engine is threatening to crush Paula, so she restores Wonder Woman's bracelets to her in time for the Amazon to catch the engine and save her. Steve is reunited with Wonder Woman, who asks Paula if she can make anything easier for her while she is turning her over to the authorities. Paula replies that she could be put both on probation and in Steve's custody for the next 99 years.

| Notes = * "Giganta -- The Gorilla Girl" is reprinted in Wonder Woman: The Greatest Stories Ever Told (Collected). * The entire issue is collected in Showcase Presents: Wonder Woman Vol. 4 (Collected). * The series of "Golden Age Wonder Woman" stories that ran from Wonder Woman Vol 1 159 to Wonder Woman Vol 1 165|165 (with a final story in Wonder Woman Vol 1 168) are hard to place in mainstream DC Universe continuity. While done in a style that is consistent with that of Earth-Two, they do *not* fit into Earth-Two's continuity very well. *Crisis on Infinite Earths: The Compendium* (2005) places these stories on Earth-Forty (with the Earth-Two Wonder Woman) having similar adventures), while *The Essential Wonder Woman Encyclopedia* (2010) places them on Earth-One. This means that all of these stories, with slight variations in each one of them, happened on all three of these alternate Earths... and involved all three of their respective variants of Wonder Woman. | Trivia = | Recommended = | Links =
