It looks a lot like the style of Sergio Aragones, who was one of MAD's "usual gang of idiots" (known for the "A Mad Look At..." feature and the "Drawn-Out Dramas" cartoons in the page margins throughout each issue) as well as a prolific comics guy in his own right ("Groo the Wanderer," etc.)
Some web searches reveal a few Wonder Woman releases with Sergio's name on, but I haven't yet been able to pin this particular image to any of them.
Oh yeah, I was trying to find that bent nose shape that the mugger has, but when I searched Sergio's name with Mad nothing immediately came up for it (at least on the first page... I didn't look very hard). But then I remembered he did Groo, where that nose is more plentiful.

Alternative ending, he comes in swinging as usual and they're standing perplexed at what he was swinging from.

Ah yes. The Playstation 1 Spider-Man.

Birds.
Or Musk's low earth orbit satellites (why make space elevators when you can have space swings)

Except Wonder Woman has an invisible jet. She's the one character where it makes sense that she would be leaping down from nowhere.

Is that from Mad? I know I've seen the art style before but I can't quite place the artist.

It's from Sergio Aragonés Destroys DC, an actual DC comic one-off he did.

Tbf there is a solution to this and you can use it in Spider-Man 2 (the recent one).
He uses his web on the ground, pulls, then uses that to jump up with lots of horizontal speed.
He then uses a jump suite to glide long distances

That's what the webbing under the armpits is supposed to be for.

I remember him doing that in older games as well. I'm surprised that technique isn't well know already

Spiders can fly by wire... Urr. I mean attached to a long strand of spider silk. Try that Nebraska Spiderman!

Is this why the Marvel Universe only exists on Manhattan Island in New York?
