Wonder Family Members

[Agent Z]

Basically a thread to discuss how you'd approach the Wonder family in terms of membership, origins, dynamics, powers etc. I'll start.

Firstly, we’d have the Amazons Divination Method which is basically the Amazon Training from the Marston run which grants super powers. The idea is for humans to tap into divine forces within to unlock superhuman physical powers. It can considered unlocking divinity via magic.

Amazons have a varied knowledge and schools of magic they utilize. Magic is a natural force in Themysicra so it is treated as both a science, philosophy and means of battle.

And of course weapons formed from magic.

Main Family Members

Diana: Post crisis clay birth. Superhuman strength, speed, durability, flight and agility derived from the Amazon Divination Method. Uses the Lasso of Truth created from the Purple Flames of Life. Also uses a sword crafted by Io.

Donna: Similar to her initial origin but instead of being from the U.S. is from the Philippines and was initially known as Donna Higuera. She has superhuman strength, speed, durability, flight and agility derived from the Amazon Divination Method. She uses an Amazon battle staff made by Io which has strong deflecting abilities and a throwing star gifted to her by Tala, the Tagalog goddess of stars.

Cassie Sandsmark: Cassie is the daughter of Zeus and Helena Sandsmark. She hails from Boston. She comes into the Diana's world being a fan of Donna who is at first reluctant but comes to accept her as a friend and partner. Cassie has has superhuman strength, speed, durability, flight and agility derived from the Amazon Divination Method. These abilities may be stronger due to her demigod heritage but she lacks the experience most of the other Amazons have. Uses twin battle gauntlets which can generate electric punches.

Artemis: Main representative of the Bana-Mighdall. Artemis is perhaps the one Amazon who can match Diana in skill and power. Artemis has ADM abilities as mentioned above but combines this with traditional magic making her far more versatile than Diana. She specilises in blade and fire magic to form blade weapons and sometimes heat them up to reinforce damage output and durability. Also has strong tracking and tracing magic. By combining her fire and blade magic she can create a powerful blade that she can poor her energy into. Uses twin scythes and a bow. Is skilled in tracking, binding and killing demons.

Akila: One of the most powerful and knowledgeable mages of the Bana. Akila does not use the ADM but more than makes up for it in her traditional casting and ranged abilities. Her most valued asset is her mind both on and off the battle field. In battle, she utilizes light and shadow magic developing a style known as the Eye of Twilight. Abilities include teleportation, illusions, light and shadow blasts. Uses an orb to fire energy blasts when she’s tired out physically and can track people. Also works with Io in creation of new devices and inventions.

Nubia: While Artemis could fight Diana to a draw, Nubia is the one Amazon who could defeat the both of them. Nubia was born of clay like Diana but was lost to the Amazons in an ancient war to beat back demons from another dimension. She spent years trapped on the other side of the demon dimension before being rescued by her mothers and her sisters. Nubia possesses Superhuman strength, speed, durability, flight and agility from the Amazon Divination Method. She also developed a skill that allows her instincts to take over in battle and react to attacks almost immediately. She wields a sword than can transform into a laser spear and can summon armor that can offer greater defense but slows down her speed somewhat.

Hippolyta: Head of the Amazon Royal family, wife of Philippus and queen of the Amazons. Hippolyta is a skilled mage and fighter. She wields an axe in battle. And can use the ADM

Philippus: The trainer and mother of Diana, Nubia and Donna and wife of Hippolyta. Philippus is an expert in the ADM and a number of weapons. But her signature weapons are twin swords that can combine at the hilt and fire energy arcs. She also developed a method to heal and replenish her strength by bonding with the earth but the effects only last an hour.

Reserve Members:

These are Wonder family members not residing on Themyscira

Menalippe: Like Akila doesn’t use the Amazon Divination Method and focuses on spell casting and ranged attacks. Controls the Purple Flames of Life and is an expert in healing herself and others.

Exoristos: An Amazon from before Diana's time who was exiled for unknown reasons. Uses a hammer.

Lilith: Typically I’m not a fan of transplanting other characters from different franchises but Lilith has a few things going for her here. Her connection to the supernatural and being a team mate of Donna Troy. In my version she’s a Wiccan witch who lends her aid to the Amazons once in a while.
Jinx: After splitting from the Fearsome Five and forming a relationship with Lilith, Jinx becomes an ally to the Amazons.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean here but you're free to post your view on what the Wonder Family will be like so... go nuts.

I wonder how DC will even allow the Wonder family to come together. We don't have Donna or Cassie right now appearing in any of the Wonder Woman books.

For me honestly, I would rather have Donna be a baby that was saved by Hippoltya when Diana was younger. Hippoltya learned that this child has no family. She adopts her. Cassie could just keep her original she is the demi-god. Nubia I would love to see reutn. She could still be Diana's twin if done right.

You left out the one character who can legitimately call WW "mother": Devastation.

OK, the Amazons and WW's other allies probably don't like Deva, but she totally counts as "family".

I'd add Euboea as a main member to https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Euboea_(New_Earth). Still working on if she's a soldier or another mage.

Didn't Diana worship a Polynesian god for a bit?

It's part of my creative endeavor that everything "counts" and mostly should be included, but doesn't necessarily have to follow how it was presented before.

THAT is something I'd read. I love "Ultimate Universe" retellings.

How did you fit in Deva?
