    Wonder Woman

    Character » Wonder Woman appears in 8719 issues.

    The Amazon princess, blessed with god-like super abilities, Wonder Woman is one of Earth's most powerful defenders of peace, justice, and equality and a member of the Justice League.

Her initial origin depicted her as a clay baby brought to life by patron goddess Aphrodite, but in recent years she has been depicted as the daughter of Zeus and Amazon queen Hippolyta.

    @Dernman: I just dont like it but Im gonna read the it first and being a child of zeus does not make diana special anymore.

    We will have to agree to disagree then.

    I just hope that they dont gave her some daddy issues that would totally ruin her.

    I think it will be more mommy issues. She already had a mistrust of Zeus so she never expected much.

    Her mother on the other hand she did and was lied to for a long time.

    Even though she loves her she has always had mother issues.

    True Diana would probably disgusted that her father is zeus.

    Ares would have worked pretty well, but Zeus makes more sense in the context of Greek mythology. Her being a demi-god actually sets up some great stories. No demi-god in Greek mthology has had an easy life.!

    Not if she's strip of her godhood before birth and made into an simple Amazon that Hades treats like an daughter, but are still enemies and they could use the "My daddy king of the underworld/dead" thing to explain how she comes back from the dead in a future storyline.

    Thor is not a Demigod his a half Asgardian and Half elder god which makes him a pure god.

    I thought one of the things about Wonder Woman was that she didn't have a father, a man wasn't needed in her life at all, even to start it.

    It wasn't hinted. It was confirmed. They called him her father all of the time in the show.

    Ive honestly never even known Diana for her origin. Ive only seen it in Super Friends or something. And then I saw it on the Justice League Cartoon. So I know her as a Demigod. It doesn't bother me at all. She's still her core character. She wasn't any lesser on the show and she isn't now. You guys are making this too big of a deal. She needs some drama in her life anyhow. Maybe now her comics won't be so boring. So yeah, revert her to how she was, but then me and tons of others will stop reading it because they'll start rehashing the same boring sht from Wonder Woman we've been getting for years. She's finally interesting, so let her alone. You guys got your way with the no pants. Let the rest be.

    One the one hand it has potential on the other I think it does take away from the character. Don't like the idea personally.

    Not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand it strikes a bit too close to making her a female version of Hercules in that it would open the door to showing that the reason Hera has a hate-on for her is that she's one of Zeus's brats from an extra-marital affair. It feels almost like a ripoff. Ares being her father might have made more sense but it would have opened a lot of doors for incest jokes considering that Ares is, mythologically speaking, Hippolyta's father. Of course Zeus is her grandfather so you still have the door open for all sorts of incest jokes and such. I think I would have preferred Hades as well. Does it cheapen Diana's character for her to have a father? No it doesn't. All women have fathers. We wouldn't exist without them. Diana pre-52 was explained as being the reincarnated spirit of a baby who died while still in the womb when her mother was beaten to death by her father. So even pre-52 she had a father and the Greek gods were all described as her relations, including Ares as her grandfather. And to me the whole "fatherless woman created out of clay" thing made her a bit too Messiah-like. Having a dad at least makes her a bit more grounded. I also have faith in Azzarello that he'll make this work without turning her into an angst-ridden whiner with daddy issues.
