I think Jason is here to expand the Wonder brand. Coming off the success of the 2017 WW film, nothing else makes his existence...sensible?
I'm also going to take a wild guess that he's already been named 'Wonder Man', ..and that the stylized 'W' topping the 'M' on his pteryges isn't an accident. In interviews, James said he didn't want to give us a 'male Wonder Woman'; so, it makes sense that he's gone out of his way to highlight Jason's Storm-like powers. He's made it very easy to distinguish this 'Wonder man' from Marvel's Wonder Man, ..who's basically ..a superman archetype.
Still hoping he's 'coded 'Argonaut' before WW #51! It sounds scrappy and masculine, ..and I actually like him not having 'Wonder' in his codename. Imagine how he would have been billed in the Silver Age..."As his mythical forebears once sailed the ancient, savage seas, so Jason, brother of the Amazing Amazon, sails and commands the fierce winds, ..as the ARGONAUT!" A storm-riding, male Wonder might have been my favorite superhero in the Silver Age comics we were reading, when I was a boy.
That last panel in WW #48, with him standing next to Diana, after surviving an attack on the Justice League [The JUSTICE LEAGUE!]...that just begs for a cool codename. I can't believe, after coming this far, Jason may wind up codeless, ..like Donna Troy.
