Wonder Woman Rogues Gallery Appreciation 2022

[Perseus]

Was it?

Ok it's not THE worst but it's one of them.

Honestly I love the barefoot Circe vibe, really says “I’m a witch goddess so I’m doing whatever tf I want”

Yeah, Circe goes barefoot in the "I don't feel like wearing shoes today" sort of way.. she DOEs wear shoes.. if she feels like it, and has often.

[Nyssane]

Azz's Ares is one of the absolute worst.

Speaking of queer villains, though, Wondy sure has a bunch of 'em. In fact, I'd argue that there are more LGBT characters in the Wonderverse than straight ones at this point. Which is ideal for such a queer icon, obviously.

Azz's Ares is hilarious. His self-insert and Diana's beloved father figure is the dude who's always represented patriarchy and violence in the mythos. Poetry.

Well yeah obviously she's gotta have some fun villain shoes. Give her those cartoon fish tank platform pumps, filled with dudes she turned into guppies after they f*cked around and found out.

Manipulative Ares is always the best Ares

Actually had no idea what Azz looked like until years after his run was over so it all kind of clicked for me, when I finally saw a picture of him, why Ares was Diana's mentor.

Fwiw, Chiang I think said that design was on his volition (not something Azzarello asked for) but I guess since Azz didn't ask to change it and ran with it...

But yeah, one of those Chiang designs that was a complete swing-and-a-miss for me.

I never cared for the old man Ares, but the blood staining his feet was an amazingly striking touch.

We are now on the shoes discussion part of villainy.

Leave no stone unturned when it comes to the evil qualities of pumps, espadrilles and boots.

[WonderScott]

I shall throw my name in the gladiator sandals and boots corner, but they got to be sexy looking; slim, elegant, bejeweled.

The lacerations received from kicks of bejeweled boots alone!

I’d love to see more exploration of Doctor Poison, Blue Snowman and Hypnota’s identities… kind of a let down that Hypnota became Hypnotic Woman. A missed opportunity.

Circe should have her own high fashion shoe line in the DCU called Hooves & Talons - made from Beastiamorph hides.

Agreed. There were elements I liked. I felt the same about a lot of Chiang’s godly designs - except for maybe Athena.

I love the idea! I am not even kidding. I can totally see a massively synergistic effort made by Warner Bros. Discovery for the next iteration of Wonder Woman films (after Jenkins/Gadot's Wonder Woman 3) that includes a women's shoe line inspired by Diana (Functional yet gorgeous shoes that turn heads!!), Circe (Wickedly, decadently fashionable!!), Julia Kapatelis (Comfortable, stylish, and badass!!), and Vanessa (Young, cool and fun. Like You, girl!). LOL

Awesome! I require that I get to help design the shoes!

You will be the lead designer for sure!
