What would Wonder Woman do in this situation

[babybro]

My friend wanted me to draw for fun a cross over event between my characters and
the JLA (mcduffie's team.) So anywhere, here is the question.


One of my characters is a very powerful kid who has little control over his powers.
He's one of three main characters (the two being his older sisters) and their pair of friends. Basically put, the kid almost destroys a city and the JLA asks them to come to their headquarters. Basically conflicts arrive as some of the JLA members want to have the boy contained until he can further master his abilities such as batman, Hawkman, and a couple others. Superman believes he should be allowed to remain with his family and believe they should help in nurturing his powers.

My characters is not going to allow the JLA to take their little brother and friend, so they prepare to fight. Superman tries to keep everybody calm, while those who want the kid contained gets ready to fight back.

The key question is, where would Wonder Woman stand in this occasion. I argued with my friend that I believe Wonder Woman would be in the front of wanting to have the kid contained. As she has always been one of the main ones willing to make some moral sacrifices if she believes it's for the greater good. (Such as killing a man.)

So what do you think Wonder Woman would do in this situation.

So no clue? Is WW really that complex?

[Major Comma]

She might take him to Themiscyra,
a friendly and safe enviroment where he could learn to use his powers properly.
And if there are any problems ,
what better place for him to be but an island full of WARRIORS?
they could no doubt design something to contain him .
But I think Diana would show kindness and mercy first, with a heavy dose of caution.

Or snap his neck.

But my guess is she could reach him with the lasso, and train him on Themyscira.

Y'know darling, the neck snapping joke is SO old. Diana did what she did cause she had to. She doesn't make a habit of it

Hello My good friend Feminine, how are you doing today? Didn't know you were a WW fan.

In any case, tells you how big of a fan I am, but um, I thought Themyscira was a women only island? Wouldn't they like, kill him on sight? LOL. Please correct me if I'm wrong but I could've swore that they didn't like men. And isn't WW banned from the Island anyway?

It is old, but like you said, she did what she had to do. And it was awesome, that's probably why its not going away.

BIG WW fan. And I'm doing good darling, hope you're alright

At the moment, yeah Diana has left the Amazons because of all that happened with Zeus. Though I'm not sure if the "Amazon no longer" thing will last or not, have to wait and see. And I think the Amazons vary in their opinions on "Mans world". Hippolyta seemed fine with Tom when they met a few issues back after all. I think it's mainly the Bana Mighdall who were millitant about it.

I remember Superman was allowed on the island during Superman/Batman as was Bats (I think, not absolutely sure, but I think he was there too)

So depending on the circumstances I could see the boy being allowed on Themiscyra

[babybro]

Just working on my web comic, you should come by the forums sometimes, lol, been looking out for you.

Hmm, so do you really believe that themyscira would be willing to accept this boy? i mean batman and superman are technically legends around the world, the kid could bring, well, destruction if he loses control. Would they be willing to take that risk? Especially with a boy? And the same with Wonder Woman.

I don't know, while I would definitely think superman would try to find another way, Wonder Woman is more grey in this department in my view, but I could definitely be wrong, that is why I wanted to ask. But you guys probably know a lot more about WW than I do so you guys are probably right.

It's just that I always saw WW as slightly lighter than morally gray.

Diana is more "grey" than Superman, but who isn't when compared to him? I'd actually say that Batman's morality is a LOT more grey than Diana's.

The problem is that people look at the neck-snapping, and they think that she's just some warlike extremist. That's not the case. She's a warrior, so she'll do what she has to do in a life or death situation as a last resort, but she seeks peaceful, non-violent solutions first. She wants the best for everyone, for everyone to BE the best they can be, and that applies to villains too. Her ideal goal is to reform her enemies. Don't forget about Diana's love and compassion when writing her.

Also, men are allowed on Themyscira. Before Infinite Crisis, the Amazons actually had a university that was open to everyone: men, women, aliens, etc. Even before that, they would have men visit the island, whether they were allies of Diana's or diplomats. Some Amazons may still have some measure of mistrust with men and the outside world, but they're not a hateful society.

Oh I agree, a small spoiler is that Batman was going to be one of the key instigators in placing the 4 year old in containment. He is much more grey than Wonder Woman, imo, but than, batman doesn't kill I don't think.

So what I'm reading is that she does wish to go a peaceful solution first. However, she isn't technically attacking the kid. I just thought that perhaps she would believe it would be safer if the kid was safely contained to prevent injuries. I do believe she would be conflicted, for sure, as he's only a four year old little boy. But as the neck snapping shows, she doesn't mind doing things for what she believe is the greater good.

That's why it's confusing.

Would Wonder Woman truly side in superman in this occasion and wish the boy to not be contained.

And the bigger question, would themyscira welcome a boy who unfortunately could do some major damage to the island and the people, of course not on purpose.

Now I see why people say she is complex to write. I am certain batman would want him contained, flash, definitely not, hawkman, definitely so, Wonder Woman, ??? LOL.

Actually, this is basically the plot of an Elseworlds story that I forgot the name of. Every man on earth was killed by a virus or something, except for Superman. So the world had to be re-populated, with Superman providing the...er...seed. And all the super-powered children, male and female, were raised on Themyscira. Anyone remember the name of that story?

[Major Comma]

It was a 2 part Elseworlds called Created Equal.

My opinion is, Diana will not kill for revenge. But she would kill if necessary, AND take the consequences.

[raporfest]

I personally believe Diana would never kill a human or anything with conscience. Sure she will kill a demon or monster (no Rucka that does not include Maxwell Lord) because they are willed to murder and hate. She sees the redeaming qualities in all living things. With people like Dr. Psyco and The Joker, she believes it is not her job to be judge, jury, and excutionar, that is for a higher power.

She is wise and powerful enough to always find another way then killing a person because she cherishes human life so much and to her, killing is just being lazy and makes her no different then the people she (depending on the writer) slaps the label of being a "monster" or the forces she is trying to stop.
