Grey Griffin

Grey Griffin, also known as Grey DeLisle, brings life to a much younger version of Wonder Woman. Griffin is the voice of Wonder Woman, student at Superhero High School, in the DC Superhero Girls franchise. The animated series originally aired on the DC Superhero GIrls website before it was eventually picked up to air on Cartoon Network. Since then, the franchise has expanded to include merchandise, a Lego tie-in, and a full-length movie.

Along with Griffin as Wonder Woman, Mae Whitman lends her vocal talents to the character of Barbara Gordon, also known as Batgirl. Tara Strong stars as the voice behind both Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy. Other students at Superhero High include Bumblebee, Katana, Cheetah, Green Lantern, and Flash. Amanda Waller is, naturally, the school’s principal.

Grey Griffin has an extensive background in voice acting for animated TV shows and video games. Gamers may know her as Amanda Valenciano Libre from Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker and World of Warcraft: Legion. On TV, she’s played Vicky in The Fairly Odd Parents, Mandy in The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy and several characters in Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends. More recently, she’s been keeping busy with voice roles in The Loud House, Lego Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures, and Mighty Magiswords among others.

Here’s an amusing twist for those with strong feelings about the DC vs Marvel rivalry. Griffin also provides the voice for Captain Marvel in Avengers Assemble and other Marvel animated shows. And DC Superhero GIrls wasn’t Griffin’s first time playing Wonder Woman. Before playing a teen version of Diana Prince, Griffin did the voice work in several Lego DC Comics videos.
