Wonder Woman In The Justice Society

[LordUltimus]

What's your opinion on Wonder Woman as a member of the Justice Society in WWII? Should it be Diana or someone else? Let's vote and talk about it.

WW2 and the JSA are just not important enough facets of her character history to where they can't be easily replaced as has been shown in multiple stories like G&Ms, Year One, or even the first movie.

I've never heard a convincing argument for why she's more "tied" to WW2 than either Superman or Batman are to WW2 or the 30s.

And pretty much all attempts I've seen to try and have it where she debuted in WW2, quit like a coward, came back in modern times so Supes can still be #1, and somehow Steve and Etta are still young (or their coincidentally identical descendants) are the kind of stuff that get superhero comics rightfully mocked and laughed at.

No interest in Hippolyta on the JSA either. Diana isn't a legacy character to a title that started with her.


TLDR: Keep it to elseworlds or make up some non-WW/non-Amazon related character if the JSA is so desperate.

At the time I loved Hippolyta as WW in the JSA. It was a clever work around for getting a WW in that era, and it created new dynamics for Hippolyta to play off of. I wouldn't object to her having that history restored, but it seems more likely that Diana will take that role, and she should.

If it's on Earth 2, by all means have here there. Along with Superman and Batman.

On the main Earth, absolutely not. No Hippolyta either. Don't let the JSA dictate how the WW mythos operates. She's a bigger deal than all of them combined.

Hippolyta.

I like her interactions with other JSA members, I like there being Wonder Fam on major teams (JSA, JLA, Titans, Teen Titans) even if the execution is often debatable and it makes more sense for Hippolyta to go 'f##k this' and return to Themsycira. That said, I would not make Hippolyta Wonder Woman during WW2; she would be disguised as the Amazing Amazon or the Miss America or something and the existence of the Amazons would be a secret to the general public. Seeing how different Amazons handled being on a mission to Mans World adds more depth to the WW mythos and adds more weight to Diana's decision to stay in Man's World to continue her mission.

I was fond of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman being replaced by WRAITH, Reaper and Myrna Black. So I'm cool with Diana being replaced by another amazon.

You could tie in the atom bomb detonation to why Hippolyta gives up on man's world. Man's capacity for destruction terrified her.

Bravo! Best idea I’ve heard with what to do with Miss America! This also can be a great angle on Hippolyta! I would really love to see this explored. Miss America is a character that needs some love!
As for Diana in WW2, I really am getting sick and tired of people bashing the notion she was in the JSA when she published in that era in the first place! Maybe the execution was not the best way it was done after the war. But at the time, it was necessary to keep her published throughout the decades afterward! Diana can be on both teams if the writers could get a story that explains her timeline better.
