Wonder Woman

We round out DC's Big Three (so named because they've been continuously published since their debut in the 30s and 40s) with the My52 Wonder Woman.

This is where my limited comic reading fails me, though, because I’m not 100% sure if this was still WW’s status as of Blackest Night.  However, my most recent awareness of Wonder Woman is her post-52/One Year Later status where she took on the mortal identity of Agent Diana Prince for the Department of Metahuman Affairs.  As an added quirk, Wonder Woman's enemy Circe curse/gifted her by causing her to lose her power when in her civilian identity as a way to help her experience life as a mortal.

She even does the old Lynda Carter spin to transform from one to the other.

Assuming this is still the status quo, I can't think of anything better to do than keep on keepin' on.  As an agent for DoMA, Diana travels the nation with her partner, Tom Tresser, encountering metahuman threats all across the U.S. like a superpowered X-Files.  Unlike some of her Justice League counterparts, WW never had a Gotham City or Metropolis to watch over, so being a travelling hero would be pretty easy to pull off.

The biggest challenge is deciding how Tresser, presumably sharp agent himself, would keep from realizing Diana was Wonder Woman when the Amazon shows up in yet another city at the same time they’re there and Diana is nowhere to be seen.  I believe there were a couple moments where he straight up hinted that he knew her identity, but at least one was waved off as being the result of a fever, and the other didn't come right out and say it, so I'm inclined to keep her ID safe for now.  My tool for this will be a subtle enchantment in her “curse” which keeps him from finishing the thought when he gets close to putting two and two together.  He'd be like "Hang on, Diana.  How come you always disappear right when Wonder Woman - ooh, ice cream!"  In any case, Tresser serves as a nice Steve Trevor replacement as the man who thinks he’s the action hero of his own story only to be regularly saved by Wonder Woman.

He's also, sort of, officially an Amazon too.

Current status of her Amazon sisters and Paradise Island is that Zeus created an island of male counterparts, the Olympians, and the two genders are learning to live in peace.  Diana, however, had renounced her Amazon status following her murder of Ares, which is just fine with me.  See, I've never been a fan of limiting a characters story options by focusing too much on one aspect of them, and I think Wonder Woman has been a little too Greek myth-centric lately. By distancing herself from Paradise Island for a while, and adding in her travels with DoMA, we get to see her tackling a more diverse range of threats.

I know it's a bit anti-climactic to post my versions of comic characters with just "keep doing what you're doing," but bear with me.  I've got some big changes in mind for my next few titles.
