In all, the main level has an armory, two menageries, a Temple of Arts and Science, a Temple of Foreseeing, a garden, two promenades (Warriors and Champions) and three halls (Olympus, Heroes and Wonders & Miracles). Between these are gardens and promenades, with Wonder Woman’s living quarters in the center. The WonderDome takes its appearance from typical Grecian architecture, with various columned structures that serve different purposes. Like Superman’s Fortress of Solitude, this was a base of operations for Wonder Woman, as well as somewhere to relax away from the demands of the human world (and the need to appear human all the time). The Post-Crisis alien plane was able to morph into anything – including an incredible floating fortress called WonderDome. This was much more practical (although less interesting to draw, or see on the page for long periods!), as it allowed Wonder Woman to more effectively stay hidden, escape, or sneak up on enemies. The Post-Crisis version of the plane, however, was able to extend its invisibility to anything inside of it, much like other cloaking devices in science fiction and other comics. This was often confusing to first-time passengers, too. Although all the various parts of the plane were transparent, anyone inside it would remain visible – not a huge issue when in mid-air, but it did mean that any nearby pilots would be able to see them. This was the result of the early Invisible Plane being unable to extend its powers of invisibility to passengers (or cargo, although Wonder Woman usually didn’t fly with anything on board). The iconic image of Wonder Woman and her invisible jet shows our heroine flying through the sky in a seated position, looking for all the world as though she is suspended in mid-air. Still, space travel is potentially incredibly useful, especially if it comes to battling many of the inter-galactic villains in the DC universe. Because this version of the plane also morphs, it may be possible for Wonder Woman to ask the plane to morph itself some kind of equipment to create a longer-lasting oxygen supply, but she has had no occasion to do this, so we don’t know for sure. She has stayed in space in her Invisible Plane (breathing normally) for up to twenty minutes – potentially this could be possible for longer. While in space in the jet, Wonder Woman could also temporarily use the jet’s oxygen to breathe, although this wasn’t something that could be maintained for long periods of time. This applies primarily to the Post-Crisis Lansanarian Morphing Disk version, which makes perfect sense – alien technology would presumably have the ability to travel in outer space. Unlike our pedestrian airplanes (and even the average military jet), Wonder Woman’s plane can fly into outer space.
