Yeah, it can't be some tired Men Are From Mars and Women Are From Venus schtick. (Although it's fun to turn that concept on its ear, considering Marston's intentions/stories.)
I think something interesting could be done with Herc as an ongoing adversary. And I'd make him pan or bisexual (as I read Marvel was having a hard time committing to that with their version of the character- at least once upon a time.)
