That is to say, because of some random cosmic retcon, WW and her supporting cast is remade to be a native part of the Marvel Universe timeline.
This would be Pre-Flashpoint Wondy, with the only change is that her Hercules is replaced by the MU Hercules. Instead of the Hercules the rapist origin, we have this:
Hippolyta and her sister Antiope are born to Ares. While they both respect their father, they end up taking Athena's offer of joining the Amazons in exchange for immortality. Ares is pissed, and starts building an army to invade, even though he can't properly do anything with the Girdle of Gaea protecting them.
By coincidence, Herc comes to the island and he and Hippolyta get busy. Hera gets pissed, disguises herself as an Amazon, and rallies the other Amazons, saying that Herc is raping their queen. Herc books, taking the Girdle which Hippolyta willingly gave him, in exchange for him bringing it back once his Twelve Labors are finished. Ares jumps at the opportunity, invades with his army of souped up Spartans, and subjugates the Amazons.
The goddesses get ready to help their Amazons fight back, but Hera holds back. She reveals why in Hippolyta's dreams: she and Hercules had conceived a child and Hera won't help out until Hippolyta chooses agrees to her ultimatum: either the Hercules' name is cleared and the child dies, or the baby will survive, albeit cursed as a clay sculpture for the next 3000 years, and Hippolyta goes along with the lie that Hercules raped her and stole the Girdle. Hippolyta chooses the latter.
The Amazons win, and Hippolyta and Antiope leave the island; Hippolyta to get the Girdle back and Antiope because she lost faith in the gods and goes off to form her own mortal Amazons, the Bana Mighdall. Hercules gladly gives the Girdle back, but is shocked by the fact they conceived a child, and furious that he'll be falsely known as a monster among the Amazons, one of whom will be his daughter. However, his brother Hermes comes in, stating that as an outside party, he can tell what really happened to their kid when she gets old enough and avoid the wrath of Hera (he's kind of an expert on the subject). Hippolyta comes back with the Girdle and tells no one about this.
Flash forward to 1940. Steve Rogers crashes on Themyscira, which by now is kind of an Asgard-lite in terms of magitech. He tells them about the war, a quick trip to the island's oracle confirms Ares is riding high with all the chaos going on, and Hippolyta goes back to Patriach's World as Wonder Woman, fighting villains like the original Cheetah and Baroness Von Gunther. She and Cap get feelings for each other, but they are both too preoccupied with "The Job" to do anything about it.
Some time after the war, the baby is restored from clay, inheriting her Father's strength, as well as gaining godly gifts like a keen mind from Athena and flight from Hermes. Speaking of Hermes, he makes a deal with Morpheus the god of dreams (not the Neil Gaiman one... as far as we know) to allow Hercules the ability to visit his daughter in their dreams without Hera knowing about it. The baby is named Diana, a Roman name like the one her dad goes by in a passive aggressive defiance of Hera.
Twenty something years later, the new Age of Heroes comes, a contest is held, and Diana goes off to New York City.
She arrives in Man's World after the FF have gone public, but before the Avengers are formed.
Looking at her usual supporting cast and Enemies, this is what I got.
Donna Troy: Raised by Titans, comes in around 70s/80s Marvel, joins the New Warriors
Cassie Sandsmark: Daughter of Zeus, technically Diana's Aunt, co-leads the Young Avengers with Patriot
Paula von Gunthar: Possibly ends up with HYDRA.
Queen Clea: ancient Atlantian. Ties in with Namor
Silver Swan: Powerwise is similar to Screaming Mimi/Songbird, so might be connected there.
The Big ones are Genocide, Devastation, and Cronus...
How would she fit in events like:
Secret İnvasion
Civil War
Infinıty Gaunlet
World War Hulk
AXIS
House of M
Secret Wars (The one from the 80s, not the one that hasn't been released)
Kree-Skrull War
Age of Apocalypse
Avengers vs. X-Men
Original Sin
Chaos War
Dark Reign
Spider-Island
What will be her relationship with characters such as:
Thor
Henry Pym
Steve Rogers
Dr Doom
Nick Fury
Spider-Man
Namor
Hulk
Norman Osborn
Invisible Woman
Wolverine
Storm
Captain Marvel (both of them)
Tony Stark

Keep in mind that these are all suggestions to get the ball rolling, you can picture her interacting with whoever or whatever you want.
