The Invisible Plane (commonly known as the Invisible Jet) is a plane appearing in DC Comics, commonly used by Wonder Woman as a mode of transport. It was created by William Moulton Marston and first appeared in Sensation Comics #1 (January 1942).[1]
Fictional history
[edit]In pre-Crisis continuity, Wonder Woman used the Invisible Plane to fly due to being unable to do so on her own.[2][3][4] After being altered by gremlins, the Plane develops artificial intelligence and the ability to speak.[5]
In post-Crisis continuity, the Invisible Plane is reimagined as a sentient alien crystal named Dome that can transform into several vehicles, including an invisible plane. In Wonder Woman (vol. 2) #201, Dome sacrifices itself to stop a tsunami and is rendered inanimate.
