There is the heated debate over the two origins. To be honest I feel there are problems with both even though I lean heavily on the Demi-Goddess side. So it got me thinking about alternatives.
There is the one where she gained her powers through Amazon training though that never sat well for me for problems I saw
So I was thinking. What if they left it ambiguous or vague. Say Hippolyta was praying on the beach for a child in the middle of a storm when a baby in a basket washes ashore.
From there you could have many different scenarios that will only be hinted at, misled for a story, or be a mystery.
Here are just a few examples.
Was it from the gods?
- They saved the baby and gave it to her.
- They created the baby gave it to her.
- The baby is a new born goddess and gave it to her for whatever reason.
Was it from a shipwreck?
- A ship sink off the coast either from an attack passing through the barrier because she was an innocent child.
- A ship sink off the coast either from he storm passing through the barrier because she was an innocent child.
Was she stolen?
- An Amazon knowing the Queen's pain took a baby from somewhere and pushed the baby there to be discovered.
Amazon Armageddon?
- In the future the Amazons who are going though devastating events use a spell to insert the best qualities (not power) from each of the Amazons into a newly born child. They magically send that child back through time to avoid or be there to face it.
- The Gods Oracle have a prophecy about the Times of Troubles prompting the gods to use their power to insert the best qualities (not power) from each of the Amazons into a newly born child to avoid or be there to face it.
Whatever the scenario. She grows up, eventually meets Steve Trevor, and enters the competition to become Wonder Woman to go to the man's world. She completes different challenges from individual gods gaining an ability each from them.
I literally thought this up while I was typing so forgive the quality. What do you think about mine and what would you think of? The point being lets talk about alternatives that are workable.
