I'd love to see Diana being at odds with not only Ares or Zeus, but basically everyone else of the Greek gods and goddesses. Or looking beyond Ares as simply "the god of war", because had other roles. Ares is the god of courage, physical strength, and passion—something which includes anger and rage. He is arguably the only male Olympian who seemed to care about his daughters. His counterparts in other mythologies often held status as the god of justice (e.g. Tyr of Nordic mythology).
I'd also say that antagonists like Doctor Poison and Doctor Psycho fits other Olympians much better. Poison can go under Apollo, and both can go under Zeus. Heck, Doctor Poison could fit under Athena. The one of Diana's antagonists who fit Ares best is arguably Cheetah.
(And I'd love to read a reinterpretation of Pérez's Gods and Mortals where the Cold War basically was Athena gone mad.)
