1. Wonder Woman's kryptonite is hardcore bondage

Every superhero has to have a weakness -- when a character is invulnerable, there's no melodrama. If you couldn't fill a room with white noise to throw off Daredevil's senses or put Kryptonite under Superman's pillow to murder him in his sleep then there wouldn't be a point to superhero comics. Wonder Woman too has a weakness, but it's one that's not explored in modern media too often: In the early comics, she's rendered powerless whenever a man welds or binds her bracelets together. It's a long-standing, particularly nasty trope that is supposedly part of "Aphrodite's Law," -- in this case, "Aphrodite" is the horndog behind the typewriter. The reasoning behind the vulnerability is... kind of complicated.

See, Wonder Woman creator William Marston based the character partly on 1920s suffragettes, whose movement was often depicted by a woman in chains. Originally, this was meant to represent the freedoms females still lacked (you know, like voting). But since this metaphor was baked into her backstory, there were tons of early Wonder Woman stories involving her being tied or bound. It sort of defeats the purpose of having a kickass demi-goddess if they're going to be dominated by mortal men every month.

At some point even DC saw what Marston was doing and suggested "Hey, maybe we should cut back on the chains? It's a little much." That was 1943. And yet, the humiliation somehow continued for decades.

Bondage is an unavoidable aspect of Wonder woman -- she does have a lasso she uses to tie people up, after all -- but the way it's been warped and abused over the years has ensured that the imagery stayed less about kinky subtext and more about demeaning the world's most popular female superhero. You could say some of the newer stuff uses chains to address and reject the old notions, and maybe you do have to be restrained before you can break free. But at some point we've gotta ditch that baggage and start over fresh. 

2. Hot Wheels released a limited edition Invisible Jet (that wasn't really there)

Blame it on the Super Friends. Wonder Woman's invisible jet is an inexplicably goofy aspect of an otherwise serious hero, but that hasn't changed the fact that it's one of the character's most well-known features. Hot Wheels was banking on that when they released a goofy April Fools joke on Facebook featuring a mockup of a new toy.

Like a lot of awesome "fake product" pranks, fan demand swelled to a point where it just had to be made real. And so Mattel actually produced a bunch of Invisible Jets to sell at Comic-Con. Thing is, there's nothing actually inside the box itself -- just the plastic mold to make it look as though that's the case. The sneaky bastards even snuck some weights into the packaging to make it FEEL as though the toy was real. It's hard not to appreciate a diabolical move like that.

The Smithsonian pulled a similar prank for April Fools Day, except on a much larger scale. 

For one day in 2015, Wonder Woman's Invisible Jet was "on display" at the National Air and Space Museum. We'll have to take their word for it. 

3. Wonder Woman has murdered a surprising amount of people

Outside of their recent movie iterations, Batman and Superman usually hold to a "no killing" rule. That hard line exists for several reasons, probably including marketability to children. And hey, if Batman murdered the Joker 75 years ago, comics would have been a lot more boring. 

Wonder Woman isn't exactly The Punisher, but she's been shown to be more willing to make exceptions when it comes to murder. The situation depicted above would take a bit to explain properly, but basically she's killing that old guy so that she can become Goddess of War, mostly because she doesn't want the other guy on the end of the spear to get those powers. So there's at least a reason there -- Wonder Woman was out of options, and she had to make a move. Just like when she chopped Medusa's head off. 

Since Medusa has kind of a hateboner for the Gods, she was always going to have it in for Wonder Woman. From WW's perspective, it was either let Medusa keep turning civilians into stone or face her enemy in single combat in a coliseum baseball stadium. The event was supposed to be televised thanks to Medusa's sisters, the idea being that Medusa's gaze would turn every viewer into stone -- there wasn't much of a way around doing what had to be done. 

Though Princess Diana is at least hesitant to kill most sentient beings, she feels no such remorse when it comes to demonic creatures. 

Ah, the old neck snap move. Where have I seen that before? Oh right, when Wonder Woman killed the (very human) Maxwell Lord. 

In this case, Max had a mental hold over Superman. Though Max's most recent plan was foiled, he made the point to Wonder Woman (while under the influence of the Lasso of Truth) that he'd eventually escape and put Supes under his influence once more. When asked what could possibly stop him, Max said "Kill me." And Wonder Woman obliged, believing that he was right.

Everything so far is more or less main continuity -- you can bet that WW is even more murder-happy in alternate universes. 

This one's from another timeline where Batman and Superman were both raised by supervillains and terrorized the world, Injustice-style. Before everything is erased and the world is corrected, Wonder Woman manages to run Batman through with her sword. Yeah, it didn't really happen, but you know, it could.

4. The first Wonder Woman on the big screen was 2014's The Lego Movie

You read that right. Wonder Woman had been in TV shows and direct-to-video movies before, but it took over 70 years for one of the world's most iconic superheroes to make it to theaters. We live in a world where Jonah Hex, The Phantom, Meteor Man and Howard the Duck all beat her to the punch. 

5. She has lots of weird powers you've never heard of

Even casual fans usually have a good grasp on the superpowers of popular heroes. The Flash has super-speed, Ant-Man has size-changing ability and Batman is rich, etc. Wonder Woman has an established set of abilities as well, but there are a few oddities in her arsenal that haven't been showcased that often. Mostly because they're just too danged weird. 

Above you can see Wonder Woman using "super breath" in a modern comic. Despite questions regarding lung capacity and the laws of physics, this is easy to accept since Superman can do it too. A bit more baffling, however, is Wonder Woman's "mental radio."

Appearing in the first years of Wonder Woman comics, the mental radio that, according to the DC Wiki, could allow users to "mentally communicate across great distances." This is the same tech that enabled Wonder Woman to psychically call down her invisible jet. It's also, you know, FaceTime. It's just FaceTime with a stethescope tied around your head and a screen inside a Greek pagoda on a nightstand. It's kind of neat to see (somewhat) modern technology in such an old comic but uh, they also had phones back then. 

WW's telepathy got a bit more impressive after she became the Goddess of War. As it turns out, having that title allows you to psychically communicate with the world's soldiers. 

It seems dangerous to keep stacking power after power onto a superhero like this. After all, there's a reason you haven't seen that weird clingwrap "S" on Superman's chest come back into play. Then again, the invisible jet and mental radio aren't around too much these days, so this might be a more practical replacement. 

6. Wonder Woman once picked up Thor's hammer

Back in the innocent, Spice Girlsian summer of 1996, Marvel and DC did what is now unthinkable: They actually allowed their characters to fight each other, on the same page. These epic battles between Superman and the Hulk or Green Lantern and Silver Surfer may have been overblown and more than a little ridiculous, but back then they actually had the gall to declare winners. Thor actually won his battle with Captain Marvel for instance, but his hammer was lost in the chaos.

That's when Wonder Woman picked up Mjolnir.

Diana grabs the hammer and lifts it easily in part because she has no idea that it's a big deal at all. For a brief moment, she is transformed into an even more powerful being -- but unfortunately, her sportsmanship gets the better of her. This all happened in the middle of a battle with Storm, and Wonder Woman decided that she didn't want to win by cheating. This has never been confirmed, but I assume Diana also turns off items in Smash Bros. 

7. The original TV Wonder Woman did her own (absolutely terrifying) stunts

For an entire generation and probably more, Wonder Woman was defined by Lynda Carter in the 1975 TV show. It was a little campy for sure, but it took itself a bit more seriously than something like Adam West's Batman. The special effects were cheesy here and there (like every time Diana spun around to transform into Wonder Woman), but some episodes had genuinely impressive stunts. 

As the story goes, that is the real, actual Lynda Carter holding onto the bottom of that real helicopter. Apparently the use of a stunt double was embarrassingly clear for the intial takes, so Carter stepped up and performed the dangerous stunt herself. Producers flipped their shit when they found out and nothing like this happened again, but it does show you how committed Carter was to her job. 

8. Lynda Carter has voiced tons of characters in games you've probably played

While we're on the topic of Lynda Carter, we should probably mention all the popular video games she's been in lately. If you're an RPG fan, chances are you've come across a character she's voiced. In Fallout 4, Carter played Magnolia, the lounge singer in the seedy Commonwealth town of Goodneighbor. Carter even went so far as to produce and sing five unique songs for the game. 

You might have heard her voice in Skyrim as the Daedric Azura, or fought alongside Gormlaith Golden-Hilt.

In addition to those named characters, Carter has also played "Nord Woman" in every Elder Scrolls game since Morrowind. I'm not saying that if you see her on the street you should bug her about the sequel to Skyrim, but someone should.

9. Wonder Woman almost had a 90s cartoon (and toy line)

Back in the early 90s, DC and Mattel teamed up in an attempt to create a Wonder Woman cartoon aimed squarely at the My Little Pony market. "Wonder Woman and the Star Riders" was like Sailor Moon and Jem made a baby inside a Lisa Frank Trapper Keeper. As you can imagine, Mattel was in it mostly to sell toys.

A host of magical teammates backed up this sparkly new wonder Woman, and each were designed to (you guessed it) get girls to buy more dolls. If Wonder Woman was sort of the group's Captain Planet, the supporting members were set up like Planeteers with their own elements; Dolphin is tied to water, Solara is the Latina with a stereotypical hot temper and the marketing meeting ended before they could think of a better name for Ice. Poor Star-Lily's power is being "in touch with nature," which allows her to make people fall asleep. In other words, she's like that Planeteer with the worthless power of "Heart."

Neither the dolls nor the cartoon ever made it to production, but a comic was produced, shipping with the diabetes capsules known as Kellogg's Cinnamon Mini-Buns.

Even for a cereal comic, it was pretty simplistic. The evil Purrsia plans on stealing the Star Riders' magical gems, but Dolphin as made sure it's in a safe hiding spot... in her unlocked dresser drawer. Wonder Woman eventually shows up and uses the power of puns to defeat her nemesis and retrieve the gem, tying her up and forcing her to give away her motivations and dispel any mystique behind the character that was just introduced. If this comic had a moral to the story, it'd be "Maybe don't hide your Infinity Stones in the first place your mom would look for a pot stash."

10. Wonder Woman's most well-known powers came from real life

William Moulton Marston put a lot of his own life into creating Wonder Woman. Case in point: The same guy who came up with the superhero with a magic truth-telling lasso is also considered the "father of the lie detector." Though some work was done on the polygraph machine beforehand, Marston helped shape those ideas and promoted the use of the machine, going so far as to write a book about the technique long before its use became commonplace. 

As it so happens, Marston's work on the polygraph was partially inspired by his wife, Elizabeth, who noted her own change in blood pressure during stressful moments . As a self-professed feminist, it makes sense that he'd base Wonder Woman on the females in his life. Going by the obituary of his wife, Marston married his own Amazon warrior. But Elizabeth wasn't the only basis for Princess Diana.

Simply put, Marston was a polygamist. With Elizabeth's consent, William welcomed a second companion into their home. Olive Byrne was technically Marston's mistress, but functionally she was more or less a second wife. How does she factor into Wonder Woman? Look closely at her picture on the right. Do those bracelets look familiar? That's because they were the direct inspiration for Wonder Woman's famous bullet-reflecting bands. Don't say polygamy never did anything for anyone.

Games where you run and deliver smackdowns to one's opponents in the way are some of the best mobile games out there. I mean, have you ever played Punch Quest [Free]? It's one of my favorite mobile games of all time and it's a game you should play. But the run-and-brawl genre has remained sadly bereft of great entries since then. But by gawd, is that Wrestle Wrun's music?!

Yes, Wrestle Wrun is a fantastic-looking game of wrunning and wrestling. I chatted with one of the developers: Bannon Rudis, of River City Ransom Underground fame, who's working on the game with Joseph Simons, who's worked on Killer Instinct and other titles. While Wrestle Wrun does involve auto-running, it will be a level-based game, with bosses to wrestle along the way. Controls are a simple two-thumb scheme: there's jump and grab commands on each side of the screen, with the ability to stop and block. Moves can be charged, and will vary based on if you're in the ground, ascending, or descending.

You'll be controlling a tag-team of two wrestlers, each with their own health, but if one wrestler goes down, then the whole team is down for the count. Right now, there's four wrestlers in the game; each character has their own set of moves to utilize, so you can mix and match characters to find the perfect team. Hurk Holdem can't dash, but he has moves to do short-range clotheslines, and can knock enemies far away, along with a mid-air leg drop. Blue Rey, can do a suplex, piledriver, hurricanarana, and a double jump. Do well and you can fill up the Muscle Meter at the bottom of the screen, unleashing BURZURK mode, giving you powerful upgrades.

All this in the name of reclaiming the Legendary Belt from the Hellfire League. Wrestle Wrun is still in development, and there's no estimated release date as the title's in part-time development between the developers' day jobs. Wrestle Wrun looks like it'll be worth the wait, though.

Sony Interactive Entertainment hat gegenüber Business Insider bestätigt, dass beinahe 60 Millionen PlayStation-4-Konsolen weltweit verkauft wurden (seit der Markteinführung 2013). Im letzten Geschäftsbericht (Ende März 2017) war noch von 60 Millionen ausgelieferten (also noch nicht verkauften) Konsolen die Rede. Eine von fünf verkauften Konsolen aus der PS4-Familie (seit November 2016) war eine PlayStation 4 Pro. Die Verkäufe von PlayStation VR haben derweil die Eine-Million-Marke geknackt (Ende März 2017: 915.000). Horizon Zero Dawn hat sich seit Verkaufsstart über 3,4 Millionen Mal verkauft. In den ersten zwei Wochen wurden 2,6 Mio. Exemplare abgesetzt.

Sony hat außerdem die Promo-Aktion "Days of Play" (9. bis 17. Juni) mit Rabatten angekündigt. Passend dazu wird in den USA eine goldene PlayStation 4 für 249 Dollar angeboten. Ob die goldene Konsole auch hierzulande erhältlich sein wird, bleibt abzuwarten.

Sony's PlayStation division is reportedly working on a VR project based around the hit TV series Breaking Bad.

According to Variety, the platform holder is working with the series' creator, Vince Gilligan, to produce a "non-game, virtual reality experience."

Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Andrew House told Variety: "We set up a day at our campus where we brought seven of the best show runners [Sony Pictures Television] work with, like David Shore of The Blacklist and Ron Moore--who did Battlestar Galactica--Vince, and some other folks.

"And they just played around with VR. Several of them were intrigued, but Vince was the one who said, 'I really want to do something with this. I want to experiment with this.'"

A release window has not been mentioned, and it's currently unclear whether the experience will be episodic or a one-off. We also don't know who is on board to run or appear in the project.

Breaking Bad's TV run ended in 2013 after five seasons, while a spinoff, Better Call Saul, is currently in its third season. Both shows were produced by Sony Pictures Television.

Apple has announced a major update for iOS 11 on iPad. The big new feature is the dock at the bottom of the screen. Much like OS X, it now has spaces for many, many apps. You can call up the dock from anywhere, and access the app switcher from anywhere, with spaces being preserved: a space in split view with two apps can now be switched to that space. It's also possible to drag apps from the dock and use them as multitasking. Files can be dragged and dropped between apps, and a Files app will be available, including cloud storage support from third-party providers.

Useful new markup features are coming to iPads, including when you take screenshots. Document scanning will be a built-in feature in iOS 11 for iPads.

This story is developing, stay tuned for futher updates!

The PlayStation 4 does not offer the kind of backwards compatibility support that the Xbox One does, and it sounds like that won't change soon, if comments from a top exec are anything to go on. In a new interview, PlayStation Europe boss Jim Ryan said backwards compatibility is a much-requested, little-used feature.

"When we've dabbled with backwards compatibility, I can say it is one of those features that is much requested, but not actually used much," Ryan told Time. "That, and I was at a Gran Turismo event recently where they had PS1, PS2, PS3 and PS4 games, and the PS1 and the PS2 games, they looked ancient, like why would anybody play this?"

The PS4 plays PS3 games through the streaming service PlayStation Now and PS2 games through the PlayStation Store. However, people need to buy the games again, even if they owned them on the earlier hardware.

By contrast, the Xbox One offers a catalog of more than 300 Xbox 360 games--including Red Dead Redemption and Call of Duty: Black Ops II--that don't require a second purchase.

At E3 2015, where and when Microsoft announced backwards compatibility support for Xbox One, PlayStation boss Shuhei Yoshida said Sony had no plans to offer a backwards compatibility solution of its own on PS4. "Backward compatibility is hard," Yoshida explained at the time. "I won't say we'll never do it, but it's not an easy thing to do. If it was easy we would have done that."

Would you be in a backwards compatibility solution on PS4? Let us know in the comments below!

Gotta go fast

Following a leak last week, the gold edition PlayStation 4 Slim model has now been confirmed, it seems. Twitter user Wario64 has somehow gotten a hold of the Target weekly ad for the week of June 11, which clearly shows the unannounced console; it's described as a "limited" model.

The console is priced at $250, according to the ad, and will launch the week of June 11.

As of yet, the new gold model PS4 Slim is not confirmed, and Sony has not weighed in on the rumours. This is not the first time Target has leaked some big PlayStation news, as the store also let slip that the PS4 was dropping in price back in 2015.

According to NeoGAF, Target will have a number of gaming deals for the week of June 11 as well, including Horizon: Zero Dawn and Mass Effect: Andromeda for $40 each. Battlefield 1, Grand Theft Auto V, and NBA 2K17 are reportedly being discounted to $30 each that week.

Keep checking back with GameSpot for more as it's announced.

Currently, the PS4 Slim is available in matte black and glacier white, though in the US the latter is only available through a Walmart-exclusive Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare bundle. Sony previously offered a limited run of gold-colored original PS4s in the US, exclusively through a competition with fast food chain Taco Bell.

Mit Turrican - Orchestral Selections will Chris Hülsbeck erneut Musik aus Turrican orchestral aufbereiten lassen, nachdem dies bereits mit Stücken aus Turrican 2 geschehen ist (wir berichteten). Auf Kickstarter bittet der Komponist daher um Unterstützung: 85.000 Dollar sollen zusammenkommen, damit das Projekt Wirklichkeit werden kann.

Auf Turrican - Orchestral Selections sollen allerdings nicht nur neue Arrangements von Melodien aus Turrican 1, 2 und 3 zu hören sein; Hülsbeck will am Amiga mithilfe seines TFMX-Programms auch ein Album komponieren, das als "virtueller Turrican-4-Soundtrack" gedacht ist. Eine Hörprobe, wie das klingen könnte, ist auf der Kickstarter-Seite hörbar.

Die Orchesteraufnahmen sollen im Herbst diesen Jahres stattfinden. Erscheinen soll das Doppelalbum anschließend im Dezember in digitaler Form. Aufgrund der längeren Produktionswege sind die Veröffentlichungen der Collector's-Editionen sowie der Vinyl-Ausgaben für frühestens April 2018 geplant.

Die Kickstarter-Kampagne endet in gut zwei Wochen am 18. Juni. Der Mindestbeitrag liegt bei 5 Dollar, während die noch vorhandenen Schallplatten mit 65 Dollar und die Collector's Box mit 95 Dollar zu Buche schlagen.

Ghibli fans, you might want to start saving for a trip to Japan. Studio Ghibli, the creators behind the iconic anime films Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, and Princess Mononoke, has announced it's partnering with the local government to build a theme park in Aichi Prefecture, near Nagoya.

The theme park will focus specifically on My Neighbor Totoro, which was written and directed by Ghibli's famous co-founder Hayao Miyazaki. It will be built in Expo Park (the site of Expo 2005, about two hours from Kyoto), which houses a monument to the 1988 anime right now. Visitors can already stop by a replica of main characters Satsuki and Mei's house.

At an official announcement, Studio Ghibli co-founder Toshio Suzuki said the park would not have rides, but rather would be an attraction "set in the world of Totoro," reports BBC News.

There's no word if other iconic Studio Ghibli films or characters will be featured as well.

Ghibli Park is planned to open in the early 2020s, according to The Japan Times. If you'd like to get your real world fix of Totoro before then, Studio Ghibli also runs a museum in Mitaka, west Tokyo, which features interactive exhibits, replicas of the films' creations, and a rotating screening of Ghibli-animated shorts.

Meanwhile, Hayao Miyazaki is working on a new feature film. Last year, he came out of retirement and announced he was working on a full-length adaptation of his CG short Boro the Caterpillar, due out sometime later this year.

Nintendo has released new details about its upcoming service for the Nintendo Switch. This newly released information includes price plans as well as a updated release date for the service.

As we reported earlier this year, Nintendo was planning to have the service go live in Fall 2017, meaning that Switch owners could play games like Arms and the upcoming Splatoon for free until then. Nintendo has moved its paid online service period to 2018, meaning that you don't have to pay for the service until next year.

The publisher also outlined pricing plans for the service, which more or less resemble the same monthly membership plans for Xbox and Playstation (but cheaper!). Here are your options:

• 1 Month Membership: $3.99
• 3 Month Membership: $7.99
• 12 Month Membership: $19.99

Beyond the Switch's online multiplayer functionality,  subscribers will also get access to classic games as well as Eshop deals. You can find the rest of the details for the service here.

For more on the Switch, be sure to check out our review of the console here.

Our Take
While the reason for the delay is anyone's guess, hey! More time to play Mario Kart and Arms for free is hardly a bad thing. We're curious to see how the monthly membership model pans out for Nintendo but it doesn't hurt that that pricing is cheaper than than both Sony and Microsoft's plans.
