Wonder Pig is an alter ego taken on by Miss Piggy in episode 419 of The Muppet Show. Lynda Carter is the guest, and as Kermit advertises at the show's opening, she is the star of TV's Wonder Woman. As a result, the Muppets are excited to have her on the show, despite their mix-up in personas ("she's not gonna play Wonder Woman tonight"). To supplement, Piggy appears in a story of "sheer terror" with Link Hogthrob as her husband, Dr. Julius Strangepork and Annie Sue playing her sister. They are ravaged by "one of the most frightening creatures ever to roam the Earth": a giant chicken who places them all in a state of shock. In a moment of heroism, in order to save her porcine brethren, Miss Piggy spins around to transform into Wonder Pig, increasing in size to break though the roof, thus defeating the chicken.

Wonder Pig's costume is modelled after that of Wonder Woman's with some slight modifications. Her golden girdle has been forged to outline the shape of a pig's ears, above which have been added a pair of white wings suggesting the swiftness of the Greek god Hermes, from which Wonder Woman's origins are descended. At the center of the girdle, and most prominently displayed is the female gender symbol, derived from a stylized representation of the Greek goddess Aphrodite, which stands for beuty and femininity. The symbol is constructed of a circle (representing spirit) above a cross (representing matter).
