"When I got the letter, I rang my close friends and said: Very funny, guys,' thinking it was an April fool, she said. Then I contacted the lawyers' office and realised it was no joke. They told me DC Comics objected to the name Wondermum. Soberon, 43, who visits schools to talk about bullying, is a hero to parents and children in Caen in Normandy, where her company is based."
"The app provides local listings for family activities and ateliers (workshops) as well as advice and a chatroom. She insists her creation bears no resemblance to the fictional Wonder Woman. Soberon's Wondermum has no red, gold or blue star-spangled outfit but wears a white T-shirt, blue trousers and red stiletto heels, with not a headdress in sight. She does sport a hexagonal pink and purple logo containing the letters WM,"
Soberon received a letter from DC Comics' French lawyers on 1 April demanding she stop using the name Wondermum. The Wondermum app provides local listings for family activities and ateliers, advice and a chatroom and is based in Caen, Normandy. Soberon, 43, visits schools to talk about bullying and built the service to help parents, with about 80% of users mothers. The Wondermum identity differs from Wonder Woman in costume, logo and spelling; the name was suggested by her 11-year-old daughter after the family's bereavement in 2020.
