The reunited Diana and Steve immediately resumed their romance, but when they realized what Maxwell Lord was up to, they steal a fighter jet to chase Lord to Cairo, Egypt.
After they flew through some Fourth of July fireworks en route to Northern Africa, Diana confessed that flying was the one thing she equated most with Steve, who was a World War I pilot and spy, and it was his gift that she most envied. Steve's explanation was rather Zen: "It's so easy, really. It's wind and air and knowing how to ride it, how to catch it. How to join with it. But Diana finally understood what Steve meant after she renounced her wish and gave him up so she could regain her superpowers that the Dreamstone had stripped from her.
In her anguish over losing Steve again, Diana ran at superspeed and then lashed out with her Lasso of Truth, vaulting into the air. She then used the lasso to catch a passing airliner, which launched her thousands of feet into the sky. It was there that Steve's Zen mantra about flight echoed in her ears and she finally understood she has the power to "catch air and ride the wind". In adapting to the changing world of man, Pegasus magically transformed into a jet while outside of Themyscira and could cloak himself from sight whenever needed.
Separated from its family of crystals, one such artifact fell to Earth to be discovered by a sub-Antarctic race called the Lansinarians. The Lansinarians refined this crystal into what they referred to as a Morphing Disk. As a token of gratitude for saving their people, the Lansinarians gifted this Disk to Wonder Woman, who could use it to take the form of any mode of transportation, from horse-drawn carriages to rocket ships. This version is mainly used by A. But to our minds, the most elegant explanation for the Invisible Jet comes from the recent Wonder Woman: Year One storyline and graphic novel collection.
Each of those previous iterations reflected the status quo of the main publishing line at DC at the time, except for this year's movie, which seemingly removes her ability to fly at a time when she can fly in the comics. From the time of her creation through most of the Golden Age, Wonder Woman could not fly; it just wasn't part of her power set. With relatively few superheroes existing at the time, and flight being a much more rare power in the Golden Age than it would soon become, this wasn't too surprising.
In the late '50s, Wonder Woman was suddenly able to "glide on air currents," something that is relatively uncommon but not unheard-of, both in nature and in superhero comics. She could not fly under her own power, exactly, but it was a sight better than simply having powerful leaps, as she could harness her momentum and control her speed and descent more precisely.
This power first reared its head in Wonder Woman 98 in , and a Wonder Woman who could not fly, but who could approximate flight, has been the most common standard since.
Following the DC reboot that followed the Crisis on Infinite Earths , Wonder Woman's origin was altered, and one of the changes they made was that she had been able to fly. She had been crafted from clay, and when she was brought to life, she was granted the power of flight by Hermes -- it was one of a number of gifts bestowed upon her by the Greek pantheon.
