The Bracelets of Submission are effectively unbreakable. Combined with Wonder Woman's heightened reflexes and senses it allows her a high degree of protection against projectile and ranged attacks.

History[]

The Bracelets of Submission are a pair of indestructible steel cuffs worn by all Amazons of Paradise Island. They serve as a reminder of the years when the Amazons were subjugated under the rule of the treacherous Hercules. Years after gaining their independence however, the Amazons continued to wear the Bracelets as a symbol of their past oppression. Wonder Woman continued to wear a pair of these metal cuffs, each one decorated with a red star along the band. She often used the bracelets to deflect gunfire, small missiles and other projectile weaponry.

Diana's bracelets[]

Post Crisis[]

Despite having an increased durability that allows them to withstand blunt force, the Amazons are still vulnerable against smaller projectiles. They use wear bracelets to deflect arrows and bullets.[4] Wonder Woman has a special pair, crafted by Hephaestus from the remains of Zeus' Aegis. The shield had been destroyed in battle against Cronus, and Hera secreted the remains. The silver bracelets with red stars were meant for the champion of the Amazons, which Diana became after winning the Contest by Bullets and BraceletsModeled after the shackles the Amazons were once enslaved with. The gauntlets were formed from the remains of Zeus's legendary Aegis shield, and were re-forged for her use by Hephaestus. Diana's superhuman reflexes enable her to use the gauntlets to easily deflect projectiles (such as bullets) and powerful energy blasts from beings such as Ares and Darkseid. She is even fast enough to protect herself from multi-vector attacks. At close-range the gauntlets block blades, weapons and punches. They are even able to deflect Darkseid's energy attacks.[138] When crossed, the gauntlets generate a remnant of the Aegis itself, forming an impenetrable barrier just in front of them which allows Diana to protect herself and those behind her from area attacks. They are also capable of channeling Zeus' holy lightning when struck together. The Bracelets can also create a concussive shockwave Wich can separate a large spot in the ocean and can injure Superman.
