Korak is the Honorable Jack Clayton, son of English Lord John Clayton, Viscount Greystoke, also known as Tarzan, lord of the jungle.  He is the hero of a 1915/6 magazine serial and 1917 novel by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs and a 1920 silent movie serial, as well as a character in several other Tarzan stories from 1914 to 1924.  He experienced a revival in 1964 as the star of his own comic book series and as a major character in various Tarzan comic books, pages, and strips from 1966 to 1978.

Wonder Woman is Princess Diana of Themyscira, daughter of Amazon Queen Hippolyta.  She is the hero of her own DC comic books series, debuting in 1941, a 1975 television series, and various blockbuster films.  She was a founding member of the Justice League.

Korak strives to emulate the heroics of his legendary father but lacks his strength, maturity and experience.  Therefore, he is more likely to enter into dangerous situations and more vulnerable to being defeated.

The jungle boy's presumptuous invitation to spar came as a surprise to Wonder Woman.  However, she accepted (a) because she can teach the callow, young hero some valuable fighting techniques, (b) because she is worried that her rejection may lead him to challenge a more serious foe, and (c) because she is frankly fond of the handsome, athletic son of Tarzan.  

The picture "Wonder Woman and Korak by st00pz" was commissioned from an artist through DeviantART in 2015.  Despite being a peak human teen-aged jungle boy, Korak is no match for a superhero like Wonder Woman.

This picture is fan art and intended to raise interest in and appreciation of the Edgar Rice Burroughs character Korak.  I introduced Wonder Woman as a potential love interest.  This is an original scene and did not appear in any comic book, page, or strip.
