Back in August 2016, stuntwoman Jessie Graff made history by becoming the first woman to complete Stage 1 of American Ninja Warrior. And she did it with 12 seconds to spare, while wearing a Green Lantern-inspired costume because yes—she is 100 percent a superhero. And now? Now she's back for Stage 2, which yep, she completely destroyed.
RELATED STORY
Graff made history once again during American Ninja Warrior: USA vs. the World—maneuvering her body in a series of feats that seem to defy gravity like a real-life Diana Prince.
"Recently I have gotten some face time which I have strived to use for breaking gender stereotypes, and becoming a positive female role model," she says on her website. "Being feminine shouldn't mean you can't be athletic, strong, and confident. Healthy is attractive!"
PREACH. Also, please take a moment to appreciate how Graff celebrated the premiere of Wonder Woman:
