Yes, it's real - the bracelets are magic and provide an Amazon's super-human strength. When they are bound together by a man, her strength becomes the same as any other woman.LOLord wrote:Is that real? I didn't know that.

The most common mistake I see regarding WW bondage is when her arms are chained apart, which shouldn't restrain her for long.
The details have varied over time, but I recall that at one time if the bracelets were removed by anyone else, the Amazon would retain her strength but be overcome by insane rage ("hulk-out"). I think if she removes the bracelets herself this is seen as a rejection by the gods and she loses her strength permanently as punishment.
But hey, it's comics, so what used to be isn't necessarily the case any more.
