    If I were to make up one it would be "the Wise Warrior"

    It’s hard to use Princess of Power as She-Ra jumped all over that.

    I always liked the Amazing Amazon, as “amazing” covers a lot of her character attributes, like the Caped Crusader and all those great monikers that played off alliteration.

    I like using Champion and Warrior with her too… I’d really like her to be written as the Champion of Love or Protector of Peace, but they’re not necessarily as evocative as Man of Steel or the Dark Knight. It’s a bit of a challenge, as Diana’s about peace, love, equity, equality, etc… At her core, she’s really the Challenger of the Status Quo to me… Not that that really rolls of the tongue in a pithy way.

    That nicely plays up an Athena aspect.

    I actually think Man of Steel is one of the weakest nicknames for Supes. Champion of the Oppressed does a better job of conveying something about his character the way “The Dark Knight” does for Batman. When it comes to Wonder Woman, her “best” title is probably Spirit of Truth, but it still doesn’t perfectly convey what her deal is I feel.

    Princess-Once-Goddess was cool but it only worked in Rucka's run because it was following up the Goddess of Truth arc.

    Marston used "Girl from Paradise" and "Girl of Tomorrow" (obviously replace "girl" with "woman") but the former isn't as self-evident and the latter is obviously taken now.
    Hmm, "Princess from/of Paradise" maybe?

    Amazing Amazon seems kind outdated

    I guess It could work as a seconday title like Man of Tomorrow or Caped Crusader

    How about Champion of Peace/Paradise?

    Batman gets mileage out of being The Dark Knight (Night).

    Superman gets mileage out of being The Last Son (Sun).

    Diana should have her own double-entendre'd atmospheric moniker.

    Wonder Woman could get mileage out of being The Pure Heir (Air).

    Dark Knight and Man of Steel ain't no Amazing Amazon either. I truly prefer the old-school charms of classic alliterative superhero nicknames like Maid of Might, Amazing Amazon, Scarlet Speedster and Caped Crusader. And I definitely think that Amazing Amazon is the one WW nick that conveys the sense of wonder and amazement that her mere presence elicits.

    I like Goddess of Glory and Maiden of Might. Trying to find a way to use her old Suprema name as a fun call back.
