What remains consistent over her entire history post crisis is that she makes money as a public figure as established by the Post Crisis PEREZ reboot in 1986. Her agent has made deals for a line of Wonder Woman dolls, toys, comic-books and movies. Some writers make use of this fact others do not touch on it but it has been going on in the background consistently.
That's interesting and kind of makes a lot of sense if Wonder Woman does not use a secret identity. I really don't like the whole government agent thing. I just don't see how or why an Amazon Princess raised on an island of Women would somehow want to be tied down working for the government. Wonder Woman seems more like a free spirit to me. I mean whats her motivation for having a secret identity anyway?
I seen the Lynda Carter episodes it did not even make sense for her to have a secret identity in the first place. Its not like she has a love interest to protect or something like that. I would think and Amazon would be proud and not hide her heritage.
Have you ever seen David E Kelley’s Wonder Woman Pilot? I know people hated it but I really liked that he went with the public figure Wonder Woman.(Like in the Perez Run) I liked the fact that she finances her superhero activities by using a company to market her trademark merchandise. It really ties her into the World and opens doors to more drama.
It is the only take on Wonder Woman which does not require the help of Steve Trevor, Batman, or the justice league to find a career or make money. She is completely self-made which is appropriate and her success depends on her popularity and approval rating around the world.
Wonder Woman as a secret government agent is really uncharacteristic and ads no value that's my opinion
Wonder Woman as an ambassador is a cool concept but she is ambassador to an all female island that nobody can really visit. The Amazons keep to themselves anyway. Wonder Woman really would have nothing to do. I think of it as an honorary title which may allow certain privileges like diplomatic immunity.
@Jorgevy:
Yeah I get what you mean and I like the title of ambassador but I always thought of it as an honorary title more than an actual 9 to 5 job she would have outside of being Wonder Woman. She really would not have much to do. And I don't see why anyone would pay her to be an ambassador to the world.
Based on what I have read in Wonder Woman comics her real source of steady income is from being a public figure which lead to numerous deals to market trademarked Wonder Woman merchandise around the world. Her agent basically handles all of it and she is free to do whatever she wants.
