Aaron Diaz writes, One part Thor, three parts Xena. I'd push the mythological angle further. Just as nobody thinks of Thor as 'Superman with a hamme'. I don't want Wonder Woman to be 'girl Superman,' as she's sometimes seen. I've also tweaked her origin slightly, making her a more literal "statue come to life." This isn't as extreme as it seems: in regular canon, Wonder Woman's origin was that she was formed out of clay by the queen of the Amazons, and imbued with the powers of the Greek Gods. This, I think offers more story possibilities if she's less literally human, physically. Her personality would remain the same (nothing more fun than the perspective of an Amazon in the modern world), but we now have an added Pinocchio-style layer.Dork Note: I think the idea of pushing the evolutionary envelop of a character concept is where the recent DC reboot should have strive to go. Instead they choose to simply redress and repackage their IPs.
