    Wonder Woman

    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. She is considered an archetype for many heroines outside of comic book. 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.

    Okay, there are many families of heroes

    You have Batman, Robin, Batgirl, Batwoman.....

    Superman, Superboy, Supergirl, Krypto the Superdog

    Aquaman, Aqualad, Aquagirl, maybe Aquawoman and now Aquadog

    Captain Marvel, Mary Marvel, Marvel Jr.

    But, you only have Wonderwoman and Wondergirl.....

    At least until the New 52 made the Amazons more....amazonish

    According to the comic, most sons of Amazons are traded to Hephaestus, but what if one got away.....

    One of the panels shows that at least one mother didn't seem to want to give the child up....what if one was hidden away by an amazon?

    @Dernman: This New 52 is all about trying to make the universe fresh. It sounds campy, but it was impossible to do this prior to the change in the Amazons.

    It creates a reason for a connection between Wonder Woman and such a Wonder Boy, and with Cassie as she is, and Donna being in limbo with Wally West, or whatever, Wonder Woman has an opening for a sidekick.

    She did try to recruit some of the amazon sons in issue seven, after all

    nah I just don't like the name besides the way Wonder Woman is now I would be against a teen sidekick of either gender.

    @Dernman: Okay...maybe not that. But she has a much larger opening to have a new supporting cast, particularly a younger one. As a demigod, if any others like Cassie exist, or even Wonder Boys, she can relate to them. At the very least, it would be original and not a repeat of a past story

    I like the idea of Wonderboy. I don't think they can ever have WonderMan since that's Marvel's thing but Wonderboy would be pretty cool.

    : I think it could work, the New 52 story itself allows it to happen. I just don't see it coming right now. Furthermore, the guy should choose a better name than Wonderboy. A name related to Greek mythology perhaps...

    one of the reasons that there might be no WonderBoy is because if he were to grow older, he couldnt be named WonderMan.

    They dont want to get too risky with character's names maybe. Also, Amazons dont go that well with men....

    BTW if I had to get a name for a greek based young male hero, probably something like TrojanBerseker or Bastion Of Troy

    @Jorgevy: Um.....comic characters don't grow up. Not to mention, lets look at Lennox, the son of Zeus you see in Wonder Woman's title. He's over 80 years old....

    A demigod wouldn't age as fast....and the Amazons don't seem to age much either. And also....they never said the name had to be Wonderman?

    @krspaceT: I know that..... That's why I said they might not want to get risky with character's names. Even if it's not Wonderman, anything with Wonder in it associated with a male is not good, specially after the whole Wonderman/Powergirl situation between DC and Marvel.

    Also, because the entire WonderWoman line and the name (Wonder) isn't the best suitable line for a male hero. It would have to be slightly different, like it was mentioned above, with The Olympian or similar to that

    I though the same thing when I read the issue. I think it would be an easy way to do it, but I hope no writer does. I think introducing a Wonder Boy; though would be cool, it would be really hard to figure out why he has chosen to go to mans world. I think Wonder Woman is fine with Wonder Girl and hopefully Donna Troy. Wonder Boy would be pushing it to me because I think her current book has male characters that are doing a great job as supporting characters.

    @krspaceT: I disagree with that the changes were unimportant. Sure, it may be cruel what they did to the men, but I think it fits in more with the Greek mythology and that is the current direction of the series. It may be really different but it isn't unimportant like you say. It was a huge revelation that definitively affected the character and now people can stop saying that she is perfect along with her sisters...

    Well, in the New 52, Cass (Wonder Girl) doesn't seem to have any connection to Wonder Woman and was called that by the media. But the Wonder Woman comics in the New 52 has a great cast of male supporting characters.

    Plus, could a boy handle being the counterpart to a woman? I don't mean anything by it, it's just the readers flock to Batman and Superman like there's no tomorrow, and Wonder Woman, who is of the Big 3, is being outsold by other League members. Guys tend to go for more guy oriented books. And being Wonder Boy would heavily require someone to keep their ego in check.

    If he was a mythological character and could be worked into the books, I think it could really work. But it's just Wonder Woman is such a woman's icon, could guys really grasp the idea? Like Wonder Woman is a "thing" we have in the boy-dominated comic book world. I'm all for sharing, but Wonder Woman is female thing. Remember, Stephanie Brown? The first female Robin? Look how well that turned out...She was able to claim the title of Batgirl, but the Robin mantle was a strictly no-girl zone after that.

    Not to mention, if he's a Demigod he'd have never been on the island

    @Primmaster64: I checked his wall and he hasn't put anything on his wall in nearly a month so I have sudden hope lol.

    I think having 3 gods and a demi god in her title as supporting characters is pretty good, but for me a Wonder Boy is a step towards the family idea that Superman and Batman have that Diana lacks.

    @Primmaster64: On the other Wonder Boy thread we came up with American Gladiator, Kid Amazon and Wonder Lad. Not a fan of the last one, but I like Kid Amazon out of what we came up with. Ofcourse revamping Olympian as her Wonder Boy could work too.
