Your opinion on Mala

[AmiMizuno]

The Princess of the Amazon's best friend. Would you guys want to see her again? Or should she be left in the era she is in?

[Angleman70]

I wouldn’t mind it at all, in fact, I would like to see more of the Amazon’s from Diana’s past to be included.

[kjn]

Yeah, the Amazons is one of the areas where the continuity has left a huge mess in the Wonderverse. Diana needs a stable supporting cast among the Amazons even more than she does in Man's World.

I would not only like to see her back, I would like to see her come to mans world. Not necessarily permanently but definitely have an arc where she somehow ends up in mans world.

[AmiMizuno]

What should be her role? Should she be head of transformation Island or something else?

Since there currently doesn't seem to be a transformation island I would have her be Themysciras top amazon. Smartest, fastest, strongest. In the old comics she was the closest match to Diana and I think it would be cool if that was still the case.

I think Mala should be a permanent regular.

Now, that Wonder Woman is an independent operator and career adventurer, I see no reason that Mala should not be her right-hand in Man's World, ..beside Etta Candy. I have said before that I think sunny, inventive, optimistic Mala is a perfect contrast with the modern Etta, who is brash, tough and scrappy. I think she can also bring light to Diana's occasional flirtations with being a hard-case. I think Mala could bring balance to a Diana-Etta character dynamic, better than leaving it to Diana and Etta.

Think of Mala and Etta being narrative extremes, with Diana smack in the middle, in a way very similar to the way Aphrodite and Maggie are presently doing.

I think Mala should be Diana's Alfred, basically, ..handling Diana's field intelligence, technology and maintaining her base/home. Diana needs a good right-hand, and Etta and Steve are poorly suited to that role - if not Ching, then Mala. Furthermore, Mala has full understanding and knowledge of Diana's mystical background and Amazon culture, and I think the comic needs such a character, as regular. I think Diana also needs a sparring partner, who isn't Donna, Superman or Hippolyta, ..in Man's World. Wherever Diana makes her home in Man's World, Mala should be there.

Mala rounds out a classic cast of Diana, Etta, Steve and (sometimes) Hippolyta that has been around, since the Golden Age. The Batman and Superman fans enjoy this in their respective comics, and I see no reason why Wonder-fans should be denied the same. Add Mala and Ferdinand (for comic relief), and leave Hippolyta, Philipis and Paula (or Io) on the island.

[SiegePerilous02]

I like her. Not a terribly complex character, but she's not exactly given the chance to be since they keep screwing around with the Amazons across the various canons. She and Althea are really the only significant named Amazons to come out of the Golden Age.

I think she should be around.

Yeah, the Amazons is one of the areas where the continuity has left a huge mess in the Wonderverse. Diana needs a stable supporting cast among the Amazons even more than she does in Man's World.

Yes, something as little as Rucka making up a new Amazon like Sofia (another blonde) who made it to the finals in the Contest when she could have easily just been Mala contributes to this lack of stability between versions. Or Azzarello creating Dess and Aleka to replace Philippus and Artemis respectively. Or Artemis herself in place of the pre-Crisis Orana, or Perez ditching Althea in favor of Epione, etc.

If given the chance, I'd firmly establish the core Amazon cast on the island as:
Hippolyta (duh)
Diana's aunts, whomever they may be in the current continuity, because it seems like she as several. Antiope and Menalippe (in her role as the oracle) would be preferred.
Philippus
Mala
Nubia- revamped as Philippus's daughter
Althea
Io

[marhawkman]

How many named Amazons were there? I definitely like the idea of named Amazon characters. My hang up with Mala is I keep thinking of the Kryptonian named Mala. There's dozens of named Kryptonians by now too so yeah.

[Fuzzy Mittens]

I say bring her back and use it as an excuse to bring back Transformation Island as well. One of the most iconic things about Wonder Woman early on is she worked to rehabilitate her villains and I see no reason not to work it back into continuity.

As for Marhawkmans question, here is an incomplete list that leaves out a large number of names such as Kara from the newspaper strip. https://comicvine.gamespot.com/amazo...94/characters/
