1) Build upon previous runs rather than simply starting anew.
2) Work on developing Diana's supporting characters.
3) Work on developing Diana's non-god rogue's gallery.
4) Do the above without losing focus on the main character.
The main idea I had was to link a bunch of Diana's more science based foes into a group working in secret. I had originally envisioned using Baroness Paula Von Gunther as the leader, having taken control of the mostly unused organization SKULL. The group itself doesn't have much of a connection to Wonder Woman's mythos, but frankly it hasn't been used by anyone in forever, so I felt it would be fine. Nowadays, I suppose it would just be easier to use Godwatch, and replace Von Gunther with Cale. Anyway, she would have a science council, consisting of Dr Cyber, Dr Poison, and the Duke of Deception(who is secretly working with Ares, unknown of to the group). Each would head up a different division of the group, robotics/cybernetic warfare, chemical/biological warfare and psychological warfare respectively.
While that would have been the overarching villains group, I wanted to use other villains as well, in both short one and done arcs, and in longer overtime arcs as well. Both Cheetah and the White Magician would be a part of an ongoing rivalry of acquiring ancient magical relics, which would put them into conflict with Wonder Woman, ARGUS and the Amazons. Villainy Inc would have been a group of villains for hire, hiring themselves out to other villains as muscle, distractions or mercenary operatives as needed. I also had an idea to bring back Eviless(although I like Saturna as a name more) as an intergalatic conqueror, who's actions are pushing a number of alien species towards earth. The one villain I didn't quite have a hook for was Dr. Psycho, which bugged me a bit, but alas, I was kinda blank there.
As for her supporting characters, I wanted to use ARGUS as a group who specializes with dealing with "dangerous meta-mystical objects." Etta would have ran the logistics and management of everything, with Steve Trevor as field commander. Helena Sandsmark would have been brought on as an expert consultant, replacing Barbara Minerva after she became Cheetah. ARGUS's mission statement would have them cross paths with Wonder Woman of course, but also the Amazons, who while having respect for them wouldn't always agree with them on the best course of action involving ancient relics. This would give Wonder Woman a chance to act as a go between the two. Also as part of the idea at the time, Zola and Hera were going to be Wonder Woman's friends as well, building off Azzarello's run. Might not work anymore. And or course, I'd like to reconnect Diana with her former sidekicks/allies, Donna and Cassie.
That's the gist of what I thought up. A bit dated, probably needs a bit more work, but I thought it had at least a few good ideas.
