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

Spider-Woman

Inhumans

Dr. Strange

Rogue

Storm

Jean Grey

Wasp

Magneto

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

Rough draft of the early years. If this was actually published IRL, this would cover 1962-1969. May include references to that time period.

Diana arrives at the United Nations to declare herself ambassador of peace. Since she's the daughter of a respected WWII heroine, she's heard out instead of being immediately arrested, but it also causes some problems: the non-US nations doubt her claims of neutrality, pointing out her patriotic costume and accusing her of going with NATO. The hearing is put into recess, but Steve Trevor, assigned to guard the Princess despite her insistence can handle herself, stumbles on one of the naysayers praying to Ares, asking for him to inflame the minds of the representatives with rage against Diana. Steve rushes to warn the princess, but the Ares-worshipper transforms into Eris, Duchess of Discord and captures him, casting a spell on him so that he will fly straight to the stratosphere, planning to distract WW. She then goes to the General Assembly Hall and tosses a golden apple in the center, causing everyone to to go insane in desperation to grab the apple. Suddenly, Diana bursts in, capturing Eris in her lasso and throwing the apple into the ocean, reverting everyone back to normal. Steve then lands nearby in her Invisible Jet- sure she can fly, but when your family has something like an undetectable plane controlled by brainwaves is just to useful to keep at home. Diana uses the plane to send Eris to Olympus; no government is happy about that, but they recognize they don't have any jails that can hold a goddess (yet). Diana gets the title of "honorary ambassador" and her own office, with secretary Etta Candy and Steve Trevor as her bodyguard/handler.

Diana settles into a role of being pretty much a full-time super hero. Etta half-jokingly suggests creating a secret identity, but Diana brushes it off - "Everyone knows who the Fantastic Four is, and they seem to do well." Speaking of them, they team up to stop mad scientist Chang Tzu, who would later become one of the minds that would form this verse's version of MODOK. Diana ignores Ben and Johnny's attempts to hit on her to give Sue a pep talk, they become close friends and gives Sue the confidence to go by "Invisible Woman" by '67. Diana also meets Thor - and by "meet" I mean fought with him when the mutant telepath Dr. Psycho mind controls Thor into becoming a misogynist that hates the Amazons. He breaks free, and they part on friendly terms. They later meet up again when Diana gets Rick Jones's radio message and becomes a founding Avenger, helping out Hank Pym when foreign scientist Doris Zeul steals the Pym Particle formula and uses it to become Giganta, all while Jan mocks her leopard print leotard. When the Space Phantom comes, he's still able to turn the team against the Hulk; no one knew he was Bruce Banner at the time, so Diana didn't know him well enough to tell when to use the lasso. However, when the Hulk meets Namor, they don't do much more than scuffle for a bit - Namor has enough respect for Hippollyta to avoid going directly to punching her daughter in the face. This means the Avengers don't search for him, which means they don't find Capsicle.

After Diana helps the X-men defeat the Juggernaut, also becoming their official government liason, Wonder Man joins the group, originally as a spy for Baron Zemo in exchange to heal his disease, but is touched by their acceptance of him to come clean. Diana manages to cure him with the Purple Ray, and in gratitude he asks Wasp to redesign his costume to look more like Diana's. Soon after, when the Avengers start to peter out, Diana and Simon replace them with former villains Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch, and Quicksilver. Simon and Wanda start going out, much to Diana's relief since the news media keeps thinking she and Simon are dating, much to Steve Trevor's chagrin. While Wasp rejoins, Hank stays retired, thinking they don't need him. They marry soon after, Hank happy to play scientist while his wife goes out super-heroing. When Hercules joins, Diana, somewhat awkwardly but very lovingly, allows him to take her place: she feels like she's been neglecting her duties as Princess of Peace, leaving Wasp as leader in her stead.

What she doesn't tell them is that she has been sabotaged at work: sometimes she gets a distress call only to show up late; spies begin to plant evidence of her holding Socialist sympathies, imposters start making public cries against all males at Women's Liberation gatherings that only she knew in advance. She continues her quest to discover truth, uncovering Hydra cells linked to her. She ends up fighting new, deadly enemies, such as Dr. Poison and Red Panzer. As she continues, she finds, to her horror, the leak: Etta Candy, who has secretly been sending reports on the Amazons to SHIELD. After a rather angry run-in with Nick Fury, they went to Africa to find that the Hydra cells Diana has been fighting are rogue cells, forced to work for billionaires in exchange for the funds needed to their own ends. And who has been hiring Hydra cells to ruin Wonder Woman?

Barbra Minerva, niece of Priscilla Rich, the original Cheetah.

After the war, Priscilla Rich ran her father's company RichCorp (no pun intended), doing well but always struggling against the sexism from her colleagues. After her brother's died, she raised her nieces Barbra and Deborah Domaine by herself. She mistrusted Barbra, finding the child's incredible intelligence unnatural and shunned her, and doted on Deborah, preparing her to run the company after she died even though Barbra was older. Priscilla died, Debrorah got everything, and Barbra got squat. Barbra blamed Wonder Woman for her aunt's bitterness, and when her daughter became public, she spent all the money she saved to fund her plan to get as powerful as Wonder Woman. Everything that had happened was a distraction so she could free Circe from captivity and force her to give her the power she needed.

Circe appeared to acquiesce, and Barbra transformed into a humanoid Cheetah; with great strength, senses, claws, and most of all, speed that could match Quicksilver. Cheetah nearly managed to kill Diana by attacking her at her weakest, but suddenly began to convulse. Circe was no ones servant, and when she transformed her, also cursed her to die. When Diana listened to Barbra's confession via lasso, she took her to Themyscira to imprison and heal her, hoping that she would put behind her past and rehabilitate. Diana would be bitterly disappointed.

Diana would return to New York only to discover her office being packed up. Her going rogue, challenging the head of SHIELD, and her battle in a foreign country caused the UN Security Council to revoke her ambassadorship. Diana is shocked by this, until Nick Fury comes clean with her: she's crossed the line in traditional law, but espionage is a whole different game. He doesn't think any less of her for what she did, and all the reports Etta sent were nothing but flying colors. Nick gives her a job offer: join under an assumed identity, and keep tabs by being sent out through missions in her Agent Diana Prince identity under Etta's group, the Holiday Girls. She could continue acting as a superhero, and keep her contacts with the Avengers and the X-Men. Diana thanks him for the offer, but isn't sure she can trust him, so for now leaves, though Nick insists that the position will be here no matter how long it takes for her to think about it.

....

Ok, that's what I got. Keep in mind this is early production and subject to change. Please comment, add your own ideas, and include your thoughts on Diana's later years. I'm all for any help!

This reads as a rough script for a fan fiction. I can't really add anything here but I would encourage you to flesh out your ideas and turn them into stories. I'd read them, you have great ideas.

It's lovely, the only thing I'm not very big on is her being the "princess/ambassadress of peace", never have and probably never will, I think it's just a mite cloying for my taste. Other than that, I think your story's great

Why the problem with being a princess? That's her position as her mother is the queen.

Not a problem, I just think the word "princess" carries a not so good connotation and that they should avoid referring to Wonder Woman as a "warrior princess" akin to how technically Thor is the Prince of Asgard but they refer to him as the Son of Odin or God of Thunder.

@foamborn: I'm pretty sure I've heard Thor referred to as Prince of Asgard a few times actually. The cartoon at one point even called him "Prince of Thunder". But to each their own.

Good story. You should work on it and post it on the Fan-Fic board.

Please tag me if you take my advice.

Wonder Women in the marvel universe does not bring much to the table.

There are plenty of heroes with her powers and then some.

She would be just another hero in a world filled with such.
