Anyway, pop culture geek Seth MacFarlane was the latest to jump on the diss the Wonder Twins bandwagon in a 2005 episode of Family Guy. It was one of those throwaway gags where Peter Griffin (MacFarlane) claimed to have suited up as one of the Twins. Sounds like Mila Kunis (Meg) doubled up as Jayna for this one, but I can't be sure.
Could've been Mila, could've been Alex Borstein (Lois), I don't know. MacFarlane and his staff, though, were the first ones to draw Jayna without her signature reverse ponytail. Stephen Byrne, 14 years later, followed suit in the current Wonder Twins limited series from DC's Wonder Comics imprint. The costumes, in this case, as you can see, are blue with purple for the gloves & boots.
Then again, there are those of us who still prefer Jayna's classic look, circa 1977-84 (image courtesy of Twinsanity):
She is, and always will be, an absolute doll. I'd gather she'd sooner be on a date with Robin than be seen with the physically challenged Peter.

That was Seth's sister Rachel MacFarlane voicing Jayna there. There were several things wrong with that bit, including the assumption that Exorians have the same reproductive system that humans do. The nicest thing that I can say about that cutaway is at least it wasn't another "Ha ha! Zan is useless!" joke, which is a pretty low bar.
Thanks, Goldstar. They've done quite a few cutaways with other heroes during the course of Family Guy's run, but this was lower than usual.
