Looking at Baroness von Gunther up there in Brave and the Bold, do you guys feel that it was a proper modernization of the character? Aside from Steve calling her a "Goose Stepping Harpy" (great insult by the way) they didn't seem to allude to Nazis at all; yet she was still some sort of military leader who was trying to conquer the world. She even had a Dr. Doom suit.
This is how she should be modernized. Personally, I thought Colonel Poison should have been Paula/Warmaster in the Rebirth continuity and have her be the leader of Team SEAR. Connecting Paula to Nazis limits her appeal, what stories she can be used in, and her media adaptations, especially if you set it in modern continuity.
Well, there are the WW2-era stahlhelms the henchmen are wearing.
I like Paula enough but her Golden Age counterpart is one of those things about Golden Age Wonder Woman that has aged rather poorly in my opinion.
Plus a lot of stuff that was originally her has been subsumed by other villains.
Phobos/Batman, Deimos/Joker, and Eris/Ivy
Some of the many looks of Circe

Can’t decide if I like red haired Circe or purple haired Circe more. Love the tri-moon symbol for Circe though, they should let her keep that as her “logo”.
Purple or magenta for me.
I've always thought this cover was rad, but perhaps I'm a scumbag.

She and Giganta are probably my favorite Wonder Woman villains.
