In Sensation Comics #5 (1942), Wonder Woman shows us why she's a true hero. She attends the christening of a new U.S. submarine, but quickly realizes that something is amiss. Enemy spies have planted an explosive in the christening bottle, but Wonder Woman's quick thinking saves the day. Despite this setback, the Nazi agents refuse to give up and try to steal the submarine for themselves. Steve Trevor's friend is suspected of planting the explosives, and Steve is determined to prove his innocence. He notices some flashes coming from a nearby Nazi boat, and Diana Prince (aka Wonder Woman) soon sees them too. The trio sets out to take down the enemy agents and save the submarine before it's too late. Wonder Woman dives into the ocean to investigate the problem and uncovers a Nazi plot to pump carbon dioxide into the air supply of the Octopus, rendering its American crew unconscious and allowing the Nazis to steal the submarine. She heroically intervenes and saves the day again, breaking the magnetic field that trapped the Octopus and allowing it to escape. Wonder Woman's bravery allows the U.S. forces to capture the Nazi agents, and the Octopus's launch is a success. Sensation Comics #5 (1942) shows us exactly why Wonder Woman is a true hero, and why she's a symbol of hope and perseverance for generations to come.
