Wonder Woman Daddy Drama!


The New York Post dropped a major bombshell about Wonder Woman's rebooted origin - major spoiler alert:
Zeus - you ARE the father.
The new DCU version of Wonder Woman was not, in fact, molded from clay by her mother Queen Hippolyta and brought to life by magic; rather she is the daughter off Zeus, as will be revealed in Wonder Wonan #3.
WW writer Brian Azzarello told the Post, “Everybody’s got a father, even if he is not the nicest guy in the world. There are going to be some family issues, the Olympians are the original crime family. They’re pretty nasty people, but they can do a lot of good. They’re like a mirror of human beings, turned up to 11.”
So this is yet another major change, albeit one that may or may not be as controversial with fans, as Wonder Woman has suffered creatively more often than not these past few decades, and she has gone through quite a few of these seismic shifts in her origin and emerged neither better nor particularly worse off for it. What do you think about this latest retcon?
