#1 Posted by Gambit1024 (9878 posts) - 1 year, 4 months ago - Show Bio

Superman's got Luthor, Batman's got the Joker, Green Lantern has Sinestro, Flash has Zoom and Aquaman has Black Manta.

Who does Wonder Woman have?

I'd guess the Cheetahs

Good question.

#4 Posted by Dernman (11375 posts) - 1 year, 4 months ago - Show Bio

It's Circe no question.

#5 Posted by Joygirl (6119 posts) - 1 year, 4 months ago - Show Bio

With DCUO, DC pretty much decided that it's Circe.

It's often debated, but it's pretty much between Circe and Cheetah. I would have to say Cheetah.

The problem with Wonder Woman is different writers have focused on different rivals. Some writers focus on the various villans while others focus on various aspects of mythology. While there has been
some good stories over the years there is a lack of a a consistent archenemy.

I vote Cheetah.

It used to be Cheetah, but as DIana's been powered up, it's become Circe.

The case could be made that its Hera now

The Chauvinist: Master of Sandwiches? He is her arch enemy....I wasn't aware he was that powerful. The only way he could obtain such power would be to have finally forced Hippolyta to infiltrate the kitchen of Hades and create the Sandwich of darkness and then willing surrender it to him......That Fiend!!!!!

Maybe its something like this:

Superman has Lex Luthor, Brainiac, and Darkseid

Batman has The Joker, R'as al Ghul, and Bane

The Flash has Gorilla Grodd, Captain Cold, and Zoom

and

Wonder Woman has Cheetah, Circe, and Ares

Well stated. I have to say, however, that while I wouldn't change your selections, trying to limit the Batman and Flash villains to three really shows how much depth their rogues galleries have. So many good names you just have to leave off.

The only possible change I'd make would be to flip Ares with Dr. Psycho, and then only because the Greek pantheon enemies are already represented by Circe. I mean, if you allow doubles on the Greek gods, you'll have the whole pantheon up there.

The big four:

For the 2nd DC encyclopedia, the cover had Batman facing Joker, Superman facing Luthor, and Wonder Woman facing Cheetah.

Bane and Ra's do NOT get ranked with the Joker.

As for the question, I would say either Cheetah or Circe. All I know is I love the character.

The Cheetah

Wonder Woman's nemesis is the status quo.

While no particular man/woman stands in polar opposition to her the way we can claim with Superman or Batman, Wonder Woman is in our world to represent a different idea of how things can work than the reality we actually operate in.

THAT is her nemesis.

#29 Posted by Onemoreposter (2661 posts) - 1 year, 1 month ago - Show Bio

It's the Cheetah with Dr Psycho in close second. However these characters have sort've taken the shaft in recent years in favor of Circe.

#30 Edited by CarolStrick (7 posts) - 1 year, 1 month ago - Show Bio

I have always despised undefined magic. It's lazy writing. In my mind, that leaves Circe out of the running, and places Ares in an "evil mastermind behind an overarching plan, but one who can't take a real hand in things and has to hire minions instead" position.

Dr. Psycho and Dr. Cyber (can we just call her "Cyber?"), combined with Ares make a good operating spread of threatening mayhem. Make the Duke of Deception an alien invader and you're talking probs for Wondie on all kinds of fronts.

#31 Posted by WW-Fan (2737 posts) - 1 year, 1 month ago - Show Bio

right now i would say Hera :)

#32 Posted by moywar700 (2775 posts) - 1 year, 1 month ago - Show Bio

it's somebody who opposes love with malevolence. It would be ares of course.

#33 Edited by Hazlenaut (1679 posts) - 1 year, 24 days ago - Show Bio

An archenemy has to be someone that challenges her ideals and/or has a personal grudge on her. As I said before Wonder Woman enemies have not been developed much outside of comics which they need.

@fodigg: you put in the wrong medusa

#34 Posted by ngroove (317 posts) - 1 year, 24 days ago - Show Bio

The Golden Age: Baroness Paula Von Gunther on her first couple of years, then Cheetah (Priscilla Rich), and Doctor Psycho...well, OK, there's also Mars (aka Ares), Giganta, Eviless, Doctor Poison, Hypnota, Blue Snowman, Queen Clea...

Silver Age: Angle Man, or Duke of Deception

Bronze Age: Doctor Cyber

Copper Age: Wonder Woman 272 puts it as "It's A Brand-New Start for the Amazing Amazon...Against her Greatest Foe!!" which turned out to be Angle Man, so, Angle Man

Iron Age-End of New Earth: Circe most likely, but there's also just as reccurringly threatening, Cheetah (Barbara Minerva)

Post-Flashpoint: Still too early.

Top Threes, I would say:

Superman: Lex Luthor, Brainiac, and Mister Mxyzptlk

Batman: Joker, Penguin, and Riddler

Flash: Captain Cold, Mirror Master, and Trickster

Wonder Woman: Cheetah, Giganta, and Doctor Psycho

Wonder Woman

Born on Paradise Island to a race of Amazon Warriors; Diana is a princess, an ambassador and a warrior. Using her divine powers, granted by the Gods of Olympus, Wonder Woman came to America to fight for peace, justice and truth. Wonder Woman is Earth's greatest female superhero.
