Now we know where Wonder Woman learned her legendary fighting skills.
Lynda Carter, who played the iconic superhero on television in the 1970s, weighed in on one viral video of a fight in a Waffle House in Texas with a hilarious tweet on December 29.
“I trained at Waffle House,” she wrote over an old clip of her punching through a chair as Wonder Woman against a bad guy on the show.
Carter, 71, referenced a clip of a fight at a Waffle House in Austin in which a female employee deftly catches a chair with one hand that an unruly patron slammed across the counter at her.
She easily throws the chair while still holding a frying pan in her right hand, and later throws some punches after customers come over the counter to attack her.
A Twitter user brought the wild scene to Carter’s attention.
“I didn’t catch anything… but she obviously did?” Carter joked.
“Wonder Woman” fans have been elated by Carter’s tweet, including the official account of DC Comics, the publisher of Wonder Woman comics, which may be ready to add Waffle House training to the character’s lore.
Canon, DC Comics tweeted.
“Nonstop legend”, actor Seth Green tweeted.
“You are a gift to the universe,” writes Dr. Sarah Parcak tweeted.
“The best tweet of 2022 comes in last week,” said one fan wrote.
Just in case Waffle House needs employee training videos, Carter tweeted in August that she always has her Wonder Woman costume ready.
“It’s more of a ‘break glass in case of emergency’ situation really,” she wrote. Or, we assume, in case she visits a Waffle House soon.
