    Wonder Woman

    Character » Wonder Woman appears in 8808 issues.

    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.

    What if Marston had lived another 10-15 years? What would WW be like?

    Marston died so early in WWs creation and development. I almost feel like her comics had no time to breathe in the Golden Age. Like, everything happened so fast and changed so quickly once new writers got a hand of her. If I remember correctly, Marston didn't even want anyone else writing WW besides him. What do you guys think WW would've been like if Marston had lived longer?

    I fear there was a genuine chance for her to end up simply forgotten, since if Marston had continued to write for another 10-15 years, the kinkier aspects of his creation would have continued along with him. Which courted controversy, and would only increase as time went on, so when Marston did die, Wonder Woman might have become kinda toxic and in need of a hard reboot.

    Though you might be right that the special arrangements between the Marston estate and DC might have been so different that there would be no Wonder Woman at all.

    Hard to say. The comics code authority came in the early 50s I believe, so even if Marston had continued to write the book he would have had to adapt his style somewhat.
