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.
