Anything that disrupts the rape fantast thing is still despised.

    So I think his design still executes the same and people would still be trying to resist it.
    You're right about certain people's attitudes towards feminism and capable female characters. However, there is a lot about Marston's stories that are seen as objectifying women or putting them in a box.

    On a similar thread years ago some one suggested an answer for Superman that resonated with me.

    Effectively the suggestion was that the biggest change would be to Superman's circle of friends, to decrease the number of non powered humans and increase the the number of other super heroes.

    It went something like this "His girlfriend would be Wonder Woman, not Lois. His best friend would be Batman not Jimmy. His boss would be Alan Scott not Perry..."
