WW 25C
Idea-forms are statues of people or inventions that existed as ideas before they were realized, like DaVinci's airplane, Jules Verne's submarine, or Wonder Woman, a strong but tender woman. People with inventive or desperate minds draw cosmic rays from the idea-forms when they need help realizing their visions. In this case, Wonder Woman actually appears in the past when Annette wishes there were a woman "tender enough to understand my need but strong enough" to defeat her enemies. The statues and models are housed in a room in Hippolyte's palace called the "Storehouse of Idea-Forms."
