I agree ... with SM you can always create some new threat with a tie back to Krypton ... kryptonite, doomsday, zod etc ... BM's story is really about psychological issues, thus they can always bring in some new flavor of emotionally unstable nutjob for him to "identify" with. WW has more range when you make her a "real girl" with a whole host of mythological family members.

I personally think the origin that Hades is her Father was kind of interesting. She's kind of like Raven in that sense, (actually that could potentially be a good team-up somewhere down the road.) I think there is a lot that could be done from that. Like, with her being away from Paradise Island, Hades sends powerful warriors and beasts to challenge her, or at times takes matters into his own hands with his shape-shifting abilities to put her friends and society against her.

Almost like the story of Aku vs. Jack, with a mix of Disney Hades tactics vs. the heroes.

I've always associated her with the clay origin, but I can appreciate the demi-goddess angle. Choosing Zeus as her father makes the most sense. More so because he is the most powerful.

Only 2 origins have ever been good for me. The original one by Marston with her gaining her power from Aphrodite and the Morrison one where she gains her power from a machine, though i dont like the hercules inclusion because it was a weird reasoning. I think she shouldnt be any different from any other amazon and they should all share the same abilities and similar birth. Also her powers should come from a feminine source.

I prefer the clay.

I don't mind the clay origin but the Demi Goddess is the superior one in my opinion.

@apokos7: can i ask why?

@willienotwilliam: I think the Demi Goddess origin gives her another layer of potential stories that have yet to be explored and could prove immensely interesting. The Demi Goddess origin and especially her being the daughter of Zeus himself empowers her in my eyes. I have a general interest in Greek mythology (and others like Egyptian) and stuff like Demi Gods and their complicated family trees always peak my interest. Like I said though, I'm really fine with the clay origin too. I understand its strengths and merits. My preference is purely based on my own personal filters.

@apokos7: ok just curious because i never really understood why some people specifically liked it over the others.

Wonder Woman ----> clay origin.

I wish I could change my vote. I've changed my mind on the demi-goddess thing. I would choose other now.
