Wonder Woman Rogues Gallery Appreciation 2021

[Fuzzy Mittens]

Im reminded how one of Wonder Womans golden age villains was a guy named Vulture king who would implant a computer into peoples brains so they would obey his will, and gave them prosthetics to turn them into jet propelled harpys.
I dare say one could get alot of horror mileage out of such a concept nowadays.

[Dr. Poison]

Alex Ross' interpretations of both Giganta and Cheetah have been my favorites so far. I wish DC would have had them crossover into the main universe after one of the various Crises. Both characters are tragic and horror-esque.

Yeah, I dug a lot of Ross' versions of the Legion of Doom characters reading through Justice about a year ago.

if I could change anything about Rucka's second run I'd swap out the Poison he did for a Giganta revamp based off this.

[PopQuezy]

I liked the mercenary/big game hunter civilian look Ross gave her. Makes me wish this is what Rucka would have done with Giganta in his second run than making Poison the mercenary.

I've never read Justice, and when people refer to the Wondy villain in it, I've only seen them mention Cheetah. This is my first time seeing this Giganta, and you've made me a convert. This Giganta and Circe could definitely be the last villains in Wonder Woman 3. This body horror interpretation is tragic and terrifying. I hope someone at WB/DC has shown this to Jenkins and Gadot. This version should definitely be in a movie with a $200 million budget to do it justice.

That image is her partial transformation btw (just incase anyone thought that's what she looks like when she's fully transformed).

Hopefully for the movie they could do a happy medium. I imagine they would still want to sell dolls of Giganta, so some body horror elements could still be done, I hope. I also like Giganta as a mercenary. I never thought of her filling that roll before.

Yeah, I'm not really a fan of the Justice League stuff outside of cool poster shots but it's a pretty good story imo.

They can do the body horror in the form of her transformation like how Ross had it. (But yeah, gotta sell that WW merch lol).

I was hoping they where going to show Cheetah transforming in WW84 and have it in the style of American Werewolf in London as a callback. But it was not meant to be.


Honestly though this got me to realize a lot of WW villains could be retooled with horror elements. Dr. Poison is already really creepy, body horror for Giganta and Cheetah could be further explored, Circe as well since she transforms people and has magic (that's actually already been explored in JL Dark).

Not sure if this should go in this thread or the Giganta thread but here is Giganta's Superfriends origin:



Not bad for a 70's Hannah-Barbera cartoon even though it skews too close post-Crisis Barbara Minerva origin (wealthy white woman steals her power from an indigenous tribe).

You could also easily add horror elements to Dr. Psycho and Silver Swan. The Duke of Deception illustration they showed in WW84 looked liked something out of a James Wan Conjuring film. Ares could also be given a more monstrous form.

Maybe Wonder Woman could get an elseworld film like Joker that's more in a psychological horror genre.

Magic powder, eh?

Yeah, I had some magic powder that made me high...but not the same way it made Giganta high...

[Mel Dyer]

Alex Ross's Giganta is totally Belinda Carlisle...totally!

[Vordan]

[Gaius]

The headdress thing is a little weird but I could see the rest of this costume working in a movie or show.
