I liked Donna having the same power as Diana had, which was the same power as every other Amazon just like Clark having the same power as every other Kryptonian (so yeah, Kara's right there with him on power). I most definitely do not want Diana "#1" in terms of power - I liked that she was the same as every other Amazon and her place as champion came from skill, training, hard work, etc. as it was originally.
However, I did not like Cassie's as Zeus's child. Don't like it for Diana, either. I don't want her a demigod (the gods really bore me). Even the story that established it really didn't make sense to me. It's also a far less compelling story that that of a normal human who wanted to be hero, who worked at it with what she had (the artifacts) and then pursued it by asking Zeus for it. It wasn't inherited, but something she chose. Making Zeus her father diminishes that to me. Also makes her paternal heritage more important that the parent that raised her, the one there day in and day out. Don't care for that either.
