But what is wrong with Emmisary of Hidden Amazon Island?
Its no more corny than visitor from another planet or man bitten by a GE spider.
Even the Greek mythology tie-in could be leveraged as a marketing point (perhaps have Ares manipulating modern world leaders and threatening a Nuclear strike or maybe Ares the terrorist
)Now that being said I'd drop all the reincarnation of murdered women crap and just go inheritor of the legacy of the Amazons

Is that the original origin of the original Wonder Woman?Klaus said:

As Brother Shatterstone said, it's the origin of Post-Crisis Wonder Woman. The Golden Age (i.e. World War II) Wonder Woman has been retconned as being a time-travelling Queen Hypollita, who was atoning for her role in the death of the amazon Artemis (not to be confused with the goddess Artemis) and filling in for her daughter Diana (at the time, Diana was dead and got elevated to divine status as the goddess of truth).Ranger REG said:

Wait. Wait. What was the original origin of the original (presumably the Golden Age version) Wonder Woman when she first appeared in comics, before it was retconned?Klaus said:
As everyone knows, the orginal origin was from the guy who created the lie detector...the one with the bondage fetish.Ranger REG said:

No, not really. The original Golden Age WW was Princess Diana. The current "Golden Age" WW is the modern day Queen Hypollita who travel back in time (Paradise Island is apparently a giant time machine or something). And her invisible plane was a clear, plastic glob capable of changing shape that was given to the real WW by aliens at the north or south pole. Those aliens built the Pyramids, too.
In the present, the Flash suddenly "remembered" there was another Wonder Woman. In fact, she operated for years in the past and was high profile (a member of the JSA), so now everyone in the world "remembers" her now. And since the GA WW is the modern day Queen Hypollita, was there a GA Queen Hypollita on Paradise Island?
All of this happened around the same time he turned WW into the Greek Goddess of Truth.
It was horrible and didn't make any sense. Blame John Byrne.

Whoa. Stop the thread from spinning.
Okay, now I remembered why DC did "Crisis on Infinite Earths" event.
Sighs. How about summarizing ALL of Wonder Woman's origins in order, please. You can add any footnote regarding continuity afterward (like the part of Queen Hypolita being Wonder Woman for a time).
Please, stop this thread from spinning. *faints*
