11 Wondrous Easter Eggs You Might Have Missed In Wonder Woman

3) Doctor Poison

One of the chief villains of the movie is Dr. Isabel Maru, known to her enemies as Doctor Poison on account of her hideous experiments to find new deadly gasses to use in the war.

The character is actually one of Wonder Woman’s oldest enemies, going all the way back to 1942. In the comics, however, Maru is an ally to the Nazis in World War II instead of the Kaiser’s Germany in World War I. Furthermore, the character wears green hooded overalls when seen in her lab throughout the movie, a look that closely matches the dress sense of the character on the page. Poison’s trademark goggles also appear in some scenes, though Elena Anaya doesn’t wear them.

In case you’re wondering, General Ludendorff – Maru’s associate in evil in the movie – is not a comic book creation but a real-life historical figure. Though the real Ludendorff was not the cartoonish villain seen here – for example, he was in fact a supporter of the Armistice – he did believe that peace was only a temporary state in between wars.
