Ep. 166 What if Wonder Woman Led the Star Riders?
from Wonder Woman and the Star Riders (Mattel/DC Promotional Minicomics, 1993)
What if Wonder Woman was crossed with She-Ra and Barbie to lead the Star Riders, a team of sparkling superheroines? We’re diving into this dazzling “lost” alternate universe born from a 1993 DC/Mattel collaboration. We begin with Tom King & Guillem March’s Wonder Woman #20–21 (2025) before turning to the unreleased Wonder Woman and the Star Riders toys, catalog comics, and animated special. Along the way, we explore the bizarre and mysterious history of this canceled line—from prototypes to SDCC screenings—and wrap by pondering whether this glitter-powered Elseworld should return.
