Wonder Woman Isn't Just Fast And Strong. She's Also A Physics Genius.

After three big budget films featuring Gal Gadot’s Amazonian portrayal , the world is familiar with the awesome power and might of Princess Diana of Themyscira, better known as Wonder Woman.

She’s a powerful and agile warrior who can block bullets using only her bracers.

Check out Hill’s full science breakdown in the above video.

Wonder Womaaaaaan!
