Poison. She is a mercenary, exactly the kind of threat Steve is trained to fight.For Steve, I've been thinking. Are there a villans Diana and he can both share? I was thinking maybe Dr.Cyber.

Psycho I think could make an interesting thematic opposite to Steve given Psycho is usually a stand-in for unabashed hatred of women.
Going outside of WW's rogues gallery roster, I think the various morally-dubious spy/government-sponsored characters in DC could make a good co-villain for Steve and WW given those two generally at least have one foot in that world.
All of this... I’m so bored with Diana’s world being so limited when there are so many interesting concepts and characters in her history to capitalize on.
My take on her city and its design and its features and points of interest and inhabitants and industry and topography lends itself to exploring a lot of her history. Couple that with Themyscira and some of Diana’s broader connections to the DCU and she can really start to be the character she’s always meant to be in the DCU.
More I think about it. I want Jumpa to be part of the DC pets. If Clark and Bruce can have their animal friends why not Jumpa. One thing is anyone against having the Holliday girls be trained by Diana? That they do know about the magical creatures and people and they want to help but never knew how. Okay so this is how I see it.
Diana is 18 years old and goes to Holliday College as a student. She is taught the ways of the man's world by her new friends. She learns about the magical city Gateway is. I do think maybe a few of her teachers should be the villains. I had an idea that Circe lives in Gateway. She simple is more of a person who feels like causing trouble. However, she does hold a grudge with Hippolyta
With Steve, he is in the army because he wanted to help. Due to Diana, he thought maybe the military needed a magical division. There is one question should Steve have any magical training himself? by that Diana teaches him all about the mythical creatures. This leads me to wonder. How wide should Diana's knowledge be? I mean yea the Amazons are worshipping Greek gods but I do think they should be good on other beings.

Hey, should the lasso be brought back to its original power?
In a sense, one thing I kind of was thinking about with the lasso is that Diana limited its power. That it would only tell the truth. Another thing I was thinking about that the lasso slightly changes. For example, of Cheetah got it i will got with what she defines has truth/
If you mean 'the person caught in the lasso will unconditionally obey the person holding the lasso' - I wouldn't like this. It smacks of mind-wiping, which the Justice League once tried with devastating effect. It's also a cheap way out of any conflict situation. And in the Marston comics, Diana sometimes lost the lasso and was then at the mercy of some villain who had her tied up. I feel it was a good thing that the lasso was reduced to 'only' producing the truth in the Perez reboot, and ever since.
If you mean that (some) truth is subjective - I agree. If you'd ask Lex Luthor (using the lasso) if Superman is a threat to the world, he'd say yes, because he's convinced that this is so. He doesn't lie to himself when he thinks so. If you'd ask the Joker anything, using the lasso... that would be interestingFor example, of Cheetah got it i will got with what she defines has truth/
Or, the boss gives their lackeys a briefing on the plan.... except these lackeys aren't actually going to be DOING any of what he told them was gonna happen. Then when WW interrogates one of them the only info they can give her is what their boss told them... which was a pack of lies. But they don't know any of it is a lie.
The lasso didn't have the power to alter peoples minds and personalities like the JL mind wipe. The most Diana would use it for was to peacefully stop fights with little violence and then remove the lasso from them when the situation was contained. She herself would never abuse it, especially with her more modern characterizations.
I'm curious if we are to have Diana have her own Fortress of Solitude or Batcave. What should happen with Wonder Dome? Or should she be able to access Paradise Island?
If they re-introduced the Lasso's control powers, I think they should establish that there is some mastery involved in order to do that. Diana can control a person with the Lasso because she's trained with it and mastered it. If some rando manages to get the Lasso, yeah, they can get the truth, but they shouldn't know how to harness its full power.
Maybe also suggest it requires a degree of focus and concentration so it doesn't become a story-breaking power.
