    That should be the duty of superheroes who actually are American, like Steve Rogers.

    And Steve would be the first to tell you that the ideals and realities of America are not the same thing. Granted, this applies to just about any country.

    Yes, Wonder Woman is a paragon of compassion and tolerance, but she should have a few characters that provoke instant, on sight rage for her.

    It would be a very short list, but I do think Hercules should be on it.
    It's truly remarkable the extent at which DC Comics makes being a Wonder Woman fan an endurance test.

    That'd be an interesting idea, Busiek went for that idea in JLA/Avengers when she had a confrontation with the Marvel Hercules.

    I'd imagine Zeus would be on there after he tried to rape her but then DC chugged an entire glass of the stupid juice and made him her father.

    That JLA/Avengers scene was hilarious. Hercules couldn't even finish his sentence before Diana went all ballistic on him.

    The dumbest most generic and tone deaf move ever

This is not me saying she should hate the US or not have friends there.
    So, she should never be an actual "ambassador", as in she works at the UN. There should be a an Amazon delegate filling that full time position.
    Diana should be an " ambassador "( as in, an example) of the ideals the Amazons embody.

    Cheetah should be the hardest villain for Diana to reform. Perhaps even impossible. Because she always relapses and returns to her old ways. Why? Because a Cheetah never changes their spots.

    Hmm.... This goes hard with the idea of redemption being a choice that comes with accepting a new lifestyle. Barbara won't change unless she wants to.

    I 100% agree with that, at least in theory. Because she has villains like Dr. Psycho who doesn't seem redeemable.
    Edit: theory probably wasn't the right word there, but whatever I think people understand what I ment.

    Also as her arch-enemy it just fits that she would be the one who couldn't be redeemed, but the one who Diana tries the hardest.
