Is it time to replace Steve Trevor with another love interest? Replace his backstory, with something broader ..or more interesting?
Is it time for Steve to be retconned, as an entirely different character or having a different backstory? Like most of you, I can throw some things against a wall and imagine what might stick, but can't really picture him, as anything, but, what he has been, since the Golden Age: swaggy, All-American flyboy hero. That's problematic for me, frankly.
I have suggested that Steve's role in Diana's world should change. I would prefer it go back to something building in intensity, but unstable and playfully unfinished. What I find really boring is the present scenario, with Steve having landed the Diana-plane and claiming her, as his prize--vice versa. That has been firmly in place, since before Kanigher, and it is boring, as Hell. I think things, between Steve and Diana, should be hotter and more uncertain. If that means introducing a rival for Diana's affections, Keith Briggs or I Ching Jr, I would welcome that ..or ditching him, entirely.
And what is US Military still doing in the Wonder Woman comic, ..this far out of World War II? Frankly, I don't know what you do with Steve, if he's not a career soldier. Is it time for the Military to be taken out of the WW origin story and Steve's backstory, specifically?
I like Steve in the comic, but, they are not an exciting or even interesting couple, and it's not her. It's him. It's all him.
