    Default Goddesses you would add or replace in the clay origin

    In the George Perez reboot of Wonder Woman, Diana was brought to life by Aphrodite, Athena, Artemis, Demeter, Hessia, and Hermes.

    Is there a God/Goddess you would add or replace for another?

    I think thats a pretty good line up.

    If I added another God/Goddess it would likely to cause some drama. Like Ares trying to sneak in a blessing so he can attempt to corrupt what his sisters/brother have created. Or Hecate depending on what version they use...have her play a Maleficent type role.

    Probably swap out Hermes for Hecate.

    Maybe do what Primal Slayer says and have Ares sneak in some sort of weakness.

    Maybe Disdain? For those Titans of myth reasons?

    Personally, I'd have Diana be sculpted from clay and have Gaia bring her to life. Have her live and train as a regular amazon and go through/win the contest on equal footing. Then, she gets her powers from the other gods/goddesses. This would I believe showcase that Diana gets her gifts via skills and smarts that she trained for and studied for on her own. She earned them.

    I would have Demeter, Hermes, Artemis, Apollo, Hecate, Athena, and Aphrodite; with Athena and Aphro being the ones that Diana interacts with the most.

    I'd be down for that.

    If Gaia bring Diana to life then that means her powers would be controlling earth, water, air, and fire? Or would she be able to control the weather?

    No it just means that the spirit of life on Earth brought unliving clay to life, Diana doesn't have to be given any additional powers just because a goddess was involved in her creation, In fact Masterwitcher seemed to be pushing for Diana to be a regular Amazon outside of her birth and any powers she'd gain from the goddesses would be granted only when Diana becomes the Champion sent to Man's World as an adult.

    Based on the current take on her, I'd make Zeus part of the clay origin just so any references to her as "Daughter of Zeus" could be reinterpreted from her literally being his biological offspring.

    I personally believe that Diana, much like Thor, should have some elemental powers. However, I'd prefer them to be unique to her and her own blessings.

    I added Hecate for the witch mark magic powers. This would be her super form, like super sayain god, it changes her whole physical appearance. A power up that also allows her to use powerful magic, cosmic almost abyssal powers that may seem a bit dark at first.

    Hestia for her fire manipulation, as well as Diana's immunity to both heat and cold. I imagine instead of red/orange fire, we get a cool blue/purple fire. Hestia's Lazuli Flame I'd call it. It can harm powerful cosmic gods, purify corruption, and kill demons even in Tartarus.

    Gaia at most could grant Diana control over earth. Such as manipulating earthquakes, creating seismic activity, or going full Hulk and create planet shaking shock waves when she stomps. But honestly, I'd do without that.

    I have an idea in mind for Diana to have lightning/storm manipulation like Thor, but the lightning would be red, the storm clouds black and it wouldn't involve Zeus at all. And it's something Diana learns on her own and has to train her body to get use to its destructive power.

    Bringing to life isn't the same as granting/imbuing/gifting w/powers

    None. Why are you guys so constantly obsessed with re-writing her origin..?

    I’d stick to the Perez empowerment by Demeter, Aphrodite, Athena, Artemis, Hestia and Hermes. Before the Zeus father origin, I had a story in mind that involved Hera empowering Hippolyta for a time to explore additional pantheon members with the Amazons. There was a Queen of the Gods and Queen of the Amazons thing I wanted to explore.

    My ideal, average Amazons are superhuman to an extent compared to the people of Man’s World - a factor of living on Themyscira and Amazon Training, so we can work the latter back into the history and culture of the Amazons.

    For me, I’m comfortable with the goddesses and god I mentioned bestowing her soul with her powers before she’s brought to life with the limitation that they’ll only be revealed to her if and when she’s proven herself worthy of them… that allows me to have my cake and eat it too I guess… Diana still has a great destiny awaiting her, but she also to work for it and train to be the best alongside and amongst her sisters. That alters her Bildungsroman on the island a bit and levels the arena and tests in the Contest to become the Champion of the Amazons and Emissary to Patriarch’s World.
