This story was a great and creative new origin story for Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman was crafted from the sands of the beach and brought to life by the tears of the gods who had compassion for Hippolyta's constant pleadings for a child. At the same time as her birth, the tears of the gods are what gave Diana her powers.
Diana's arrogance is what accounts for her warrior traits in this new take; so, she goes off and has easy victories wherever she could find a fight; but, one day, Diana encounters a humble stable girl who doesn't seem impressed with her; one day, during one of Diana's pranks, during an alternate contest, this humble stable girl pays the ultimate price for Diana and the Amazons; Hippolyta has no choice but to punish Diana for the many casualties.
And, so, Diana was exiled into Man's World, as Wonder Woman, never to return until she has atoned for her arrogance.
This new origin should satisfy all parties, both old, new, and ostracized Wonder Woman fans alike.
