What Other Mythologies And Folklore would you like to See In DC Comics?

I know I brought this up in a thread I created but I would to see the Aztec Mythos incorporated into the DCU. In order to differentiate them from the greek gods have the aztec ones posses humans and imbue them with powers. For instance

El Diablo is possessed by Xiuhtecuhtli, god of fire/heat/day.

Aztek is possessed by Quetzalcoatl, god of wind/learning and Lord of the West.


Chalchiuhtlicue goddess of water/fertility, Mictlantecuhtli god of death/darkness, Tlaltecuhtli god of earth/rock can also be used...

Lol the names are super hard to pronounce xD

The concept of Mictlantecuhtli sounds interesting with El Diablo because of his alignment and morality because he's in the line between anti-hero and anti-villain.

I would like to see Caribbean, Celtic and Japanese mythologies. I could see Shazam or Wonder Woman exploring other earthly pantheons.

Chinese mythology has gods, monkey king and taoist immortals. India also has a rich mythology with some similarities to greek mythology.

DC's Thor...

DC's Thor appeared years before the Marvel Comics version. Finger and Moldoff created a character with some obvious similarities as they are based on the same mythology source.
DCs Thor:



Meek museum curator, manifested powers after being hit by lightning and gaining power from the hammer which he controls.
Also flies back to him.

Japanese mythology with the Sun Goddess Amaterasu-ōmikami the, the Moon God, Tsukiyomi no Mikoto, the Storm God Susanoo-no-Mikoto

Having a woman as the 'pantheon head' (in the role of Zeus, Odin, Shang-Ti, Ra, etc.) is a neat step there, and one reason I wouldn't mind seeing the Japanese pantheon explored more. (Although I'm not sure I'd want it to necessarily tie into 'sun' themed Japanese heroes like Dr. (Kimiyo) Light or Rising Sun.)

Eh, I don't know if "pantheon" is the right word. Sure, there's multiple deities of varying levels, but they're not exactly worshiped as a united group or anything. Plus the sheer amount of them is staggering.

Comic book universes seem to repeat the same legendary locations. There's Atlantis, Camelot and some kind of Shangri-La analogue (Nanda Parbat in DC, Kun Lun in Marvel). So, what if they took the character of El Dorado (formerly of Super Friends) and connected him to the legendary Seven Cities of Gold: Hawikuh, Halona, Matsaki, Quivira, Kiakima, Cibola and Kwakina.

Actually, they are. Wonder Woman fought several time against Aztec gods (like Tezcatlipoca in issue 52).

Ooh, that's a cool idea! Drag it away from European mythology, as well, a bit, and, conveniently, make it a bit closer to the 'New World,' where all the heroes live anyway.

I love this idea.
