Queen Hippolyta
for Queen Hippolyta in Wonder Woman (Season II)
Suggested by g0thamite
Set in the 1970s, the go-go period where Wonder Woman gave up her powers and costume, learned karate, and joined the disco set. (Since Diana's "powers" will be different, she need not give them up in this version.) Contrast that with the era when the women's liberation movement, the Equal Rights Amendment, Roe vs. Wade and the Me Generation came into cultural focus. The tiniest Boogie Nights or -- if you prefer -- Life on Mars verve would do well here. Maxwell Lord and Cheetah would be the main villains, in all their disco-esque sass. She's a product of genetic manipulation made possible by Amazonian super-science that has crept into the world, but the catch is that she turned herself into a overtly sexualized werecat as a warped form of self-empowerment. And Maxwell Lord is introduced as an up-and-coming young executive at a major corporation known as Innovative Concepts who would indulge in any means necessary to reach the top of the corporation.
