She's empowered by the Council of Nike (the collective Hive Mind of several women) to defend women's rights and empowerment. This is origin story for several other ABC books, like Top 10 (based on an unnamed concept of making a superhero police procedural) and Tom Strong was based on Moore's ideas for Prophet. So, Moore took his ideas and founded a new company, America's Best Comics, and created Promethea. Promethea is actually based on Moore's plan for Extreme Entertainment Glory - see below - but company went bankrupt.Alan Moore's Promethea has some elements in common with Diana as both are warrior women whose stories focus on mythology and magic.Fittingly Barda has frequently been a Friendly Rival to Diana in their several encounters together. Though Barda exists in the same universe as Wonder Woman, she has been noted to be very similar, being a Statuesque Stunner and powerful melee fighter who serves as the Action Girlfriend to their physically weaker partners Steve Trevor and Mister Miracle respectively. Big Barda from the New Gods created in 1971 by Jack Kirby.Psylocke in Excalibur (2019), after taking the mantle of Captain Britain she changes costume from her ninja leotard to an armoured getup which like Wonder Woman has a segmented skirt with a crotch flap and instead of Psionic Sai Betsy wields the starlight sword and a Psionic Shield as well making her very similar to Wonder Woman.Though this is still relatively downplayed with Carol, as she lacks the mystical elements of Wonder Woman and has more similarities to Hal Jordan. Also thanks to a retcon she even shares Dianas mixed heritage with an otherworldly parent. Carol similar to Diana is now a Primary Colour Champion and an idol to young women within the Marvel universe on top of being the female Flying Brick of the Avengers and most powerful next to Thor. Ever since her 2012 relaunch as Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers has often been pushed as Marvels Wonder Woman, due to the absence of a main superheroine in the MU * Not helping matters was the fact some of the most iconic Marvel heroines like Invisible Woman, Storm, Rogue and Jean Grey were all owned by Fox until 2019.In later comics, Thundra even has a relationship with Hyperion whos fittingly a Superman Substitute. Thundra comes from a world where women are the dominant species but unlike Diana (at least most versions of Diana), she has Straw Feminist values that she eventually loses after fighting The Thing and considering him a worthy opponent and reassessing her opinion of men. Thundra who debuted in Fantastic Four is very clearly a Wonder Woman Expy being an Amazonian Beauty with a tiara and rope-like weapon (a chain in her case).Angela, Thors sister, while less visually obvious than Sif still bares multiple similarities to Wonder Woman being a crown-wearing, blade-wielding warrioress whos had relationships with women similar to Diana in the past. Thena also bares similarities with Big Barda, which is hardly surprising since they were both created by Jack Kirby. Although she uses a spear instead of a sword. Thena from The Eternals is a pretty apparent Wonder Woman analogue right down to the similar armour, Cool Crown, Flying Brick powers and being tied to Greek Mythology like the rest of Eternals, being a representative of the goddess Athena.Lady Sif thanks to her Xenafication from Norse Mythology in Journey into Mystery (Immonen) and an In-Universe Adaptational Dye-Job to make Sifs blonde hair black, shes extremely reminiscent of Wonder Woman and even wears similar armour with a Cool Crown.Britannia of The Union wears a costume inspired by the British flag, has long, dark hair and fights with a Knightly Sword and Shield.The Heroes Reborn (2021) version of Zarda is even more similar to Wonder Woman than previous incarnations with her costume basically a palette-swapped version of the Amazonian princess' traditional garb and her own version of the Lasso of Truth in the form of the Chain of Veracity, which she tries to use it on Hercules. The whole Squadron is based on the Justice League (Hyperion for Superman, Nighthawk for Batman, and so on), Zarda being Wondy's analog. The different versions of Zarda Shelton, a.k.a.She willingly left her world for the main universe because she wanted to be a hero. America Chavez is a Flying Brick princess who hailed from another universe that contained an all-female utopia.
