How would you design the villains ?

[AmiMizuno]

I wonder could Priscilla ever be her own villain despite Barbara replacing her?

Priscilla was a burglar first, and cat crazy second. Barbara was not really a burglar.

Firstly, I would "design" Wonder Woman. A hero's villains should compliment and challenge the hero.

Until "Diana" is firmly established, then there is no point designing villains for Wonder Woman. For example, if DC Comics is doubling down on Diana being a goddess, then her arch nemesis Cheetah arguably also needs to be a goddess (or the living embodiment of a god). If Diana is "social justice warrior" who fights for women's rights, an egalitarian society, access to education and health care, acceptance of refugees, etc then her villains could challenge those ideals. Dr Psycho could be an extreme misogynist, Veronica Cale could be a power hungry billionaire who is willing to crush the poor and minorities to get ahead, etc.

yes, that was the thinking behind my revamp of Mouse Man. he sees himself as a white knight; watching over women and protecting them from sinister forces. but it's an act of aggression from a creepy deluded basement dweller.

Here are some designs I've made over the years in micro format:

But could she be revamped?

But could she be revamped?

Aren't this thread about make a new villain?

I'm not opposed. but does he need to shrink? it was ok when comics were more light-hearted. but if he's going to work as part of wonderwoman's modern rogues gallery, I'd probably avoid it. the rodent army is a little more important. and I imagine that he can control (it's more like a hive mind situation when he uses this ability) anything other than rodent heading. he just doesn't have much of an imagination or a solid grip on reality. so it's mostly just rats (for attacking) & mice (for surveillance). maybe he's defeated by being shrunken or something (Atom team-up?); it would weaken his control of the rats and they'd turn on him. :shrugs:

I'd somehow give him a couple of Apokorats too.

[WonderScott]

I'd like a 12-issues maxi-series to help establish Diana's rogues. (Actually I'd like this for quite a few of DC's hero's villains.) It'd be a bit of a "world tour" of the characters with some kind of story as a through line in the series. Some villains might get more story focus than others, but a lot of concepts and designs would be introduced - even if just a quick, intriguing glimpse.

Behind the scenes, I'd have one Wonder editor and two writers and two artists work together as a team to bounce ideas and designs off one another to suss out the characters. Character histories, backgrounds, motivations, quirks, and designs are developed as a bible for Wonder creators to use.

Characters that would appear:

Gods/Demigods
- Ares
- Circe
- Cheetah
- Hercules
- Eris
- Phobos
- Deimos
- Gundra
- Grail
- Devastation
- Cassandra

Monsters
- Medusa, Stheno, and Eurayle

Mutants
- Chang Tzu

Metahumans
- Doctor Psycho
- Minister Blizzard
- Zara
- Duke Dazam
- Anton Unreal
- Mayfly
- Hypnota

Venturians
- Queen Clea
- Sharkeeta

Aliens
- Eviless
- Badra
- Osira
- Astarte
- Adjudicator
- Glop
- The Skrill
- Zardor

Humans (may gain or be granted powers through various means)
- Draska Nishki

- Gentleman Killer
- Tigra Tropica
- Angle Man

- Inversion, the Inside-Out Man
- Giganta
- Duke of Deception, Lord Conquest, Earl of Greed, Baron Blitzkrieg and other "royalty"
- Silver Swan
- Veronica Cale
- Doctor Poison
- Aegeus
- Cyborgirl
- Crimson Centipede
- Agent X

Interdimensional

Some of the characters would be part of teams or have relationships with one another.

It's an auspicious, grand project, but Diana deserves to have her world revitalized, mapped out, and treated with respect.

I think Mignola's design sensibility would be perfect for Wonder Woman's rogues gallery as well as the Greek Pantheon.

[Gaius]

Mostly just a grab bag from multiple artists

Cheetah - Perez
Ares - Perez
Circe - Casual (Perez), Civilian (Rebirth), Battle (Dodson)
Dr. Poison - Bloodlines
Giganta - Dodson
Dr. Cyber - Bloodlines
Angle Man - Casual (Jimenez), On the job (green jumpsuit)
Silver Swan - Bloodlines

Gods aside from Ares - Pretty much all from Historia
