    Jason. Yep, went there.

    Growing up, Jason had always been the odd one out. His guardian, an elderly man, did his best for the youth, but Jason never belonged. The elderly man had looked after Jason for as long as the boy could remember, his parents long being dead. But the man had turned sickly, and on his death bed, revealed to Jason his true origin. The boy thought it all nonsense from a sick old man, but the man pulled out an amulet. One with a lightning bolt, and gave it to Jason. The boy held it, and the amulet began to glow. The man told him that the Amazons hated men, and, with barely any explanation, shoved Jason into the man's arms.

    The amulet, the old man explained, was from Zeus himself. Jason, was the son of Zeus. Jason asks why the old man kept it from him, and the old man replies that Jason hadn't been ready. But now, Jason has a choice. The old man lays out two paths for the boy, one, he continues living his "normal" life, always the outcast. Never belonging. Or, he could go to the old-man's benefactor and train and learn there. And from there, realize his potential, and his destiny. Jason chooses the latter, and his dying breath, the old man calls out one thing;

    "Cersei, he is ready."

    Eh, not my best work. But in general, Jason would have the same powers, but would be in direct opposition to Diana. And the fact that his twin was kept over him, would only serve to drive him on in further being Diana's antagonist.

    Gunrunner - a war profiteer, she engages in a litany of villainy from kidnapping, enslaving, human experimentation, and whatever else to provide "weapons" ranging from the inanimate artifacts to super-soldiers she's created or metahumans she's kidnapped to her customers. And while she does of course seek to make a profit of all this evil, truth is she just likes the violence her actions cause, to see the bloody consequences of her crimes against humanity.

    Her origins are purposefully left vague. Alien, demigod, metahuman, some result of experimentation herself, no one really knows and she's not telling. But she does have powers. Strength and speed, far beyond human but also much less than Diana's. Super-intelligence, she is a mad scientist, so labs with automated laser turrets and drone kamikaze and robot guards are def a big thing just to get to her. Limited intangibility, it takes a LOT out of her but she can even phase through even the Lasso of Truth's grip, but she can only phase for so long in general before she passes out from the energy it costs her.

    She doesn't even really consider herself a Wonder Woman rogue, seeing Diana more as an obstacle to avoid, go around, or attempt to do away with whenever she's standing in her way. Whereas Gunrunner is one of those kinds of villains that Wonder Woman sees as the worst of her foes - a thief, kidnapper, slaver, weapon smuggler, human experimenter, and war profiteer all while the financial gain is second to the delight in violence her actions bring about?

    Gunrunner is the sort of villain who I imagine first gets on Wondie's radar for something like successfully kidnapping Cheetah to prod and poke her to make super cat people soldiers cause some world conquering sort of villain or someone is willing to pay for that. Gunrunner has no real goals though beyond cashing in on her desire to spread more violence and suffering in the world. Maybe it has something to do with her origin, maybe she's just messed up in the head for no reason, it doesn't matter, she wears her glee for such evil on her sleeve. She wants to empower others who seek to cause harm to the world basically. She has no ambitions in world domination or war making herself, no aims to annihilate small villages or what have you, she just wants to provide the means to do so to those who will carry out such evils. So very much a behind the scenes type of villain if she can get away with it.

    Anyways, that's my take on a WW villain. Just kind of wanted to make someone who's like an anti-Wonder Woman, who works to further spread violence in the world but who isn't another Ares sort or some big violent brick herself, but more is in the mad science field of making people into weapons for others to use and abuse. Like even though she does provide "traditional" weaponry, her name Gunrunner and her actions kind of paints the picture that ultimately she really does see other people as weapons, as tools to use. I think someone like that would really get on Diana's watchlist more than most traditional villains who are more bigger plan kind of villains who seek power. Gunrunner doesn't seek power, and the profits she makes goes right back into her research and resources to create more harm. I also like the idea of someone who just is giddy with the evil they're doing, and never really holds a grudge or seeks revenge against Diana. Again, Gunrunner wouldn't view herself as a rogue to WW, but rather just view WW as an obstacle that for some reason keeps insisting on popping up and stopping her.
