Granted, the 2017 Wonder Woman film featured a character credited as Artemis. Artemis even once bested Diana in combat, and therefore won the right to Wonder Woman herself. This tribe were extremely militant, and therefore broke off from the more peaceful Themysciran Amazons centuries ago. This no-nonsense warrior is actually from a sister tribe of the Amazons called the Bana-Mighdall. Here’s another famous Amazon who was also briefly Wonder Woman for a time, and who led a long superhero career afterwards. This version of the character was DC Comics’ first black female superhero and would be a great addition to any Amazon-centric film. She then spent centuries guarding Doom’s Doorway to the Underworld beneath Themyscira. No longer Diana’s twin, she was recreated as the first Amazon to ever win the Amazon tournament, and was therefore the first Wonder Woman. After Crisis on Infinite Earths rebooted the DCU, a new version of the character was introduced as Nu’Bia. While it was empowering to have a black Amazon, the fact the she was Wonder Woman’s “evil” twin sister was always problematic. When she found out who she really was, she turned on Ares and became a true blue Amazon. She would later emerge to fight Diana as an enemy, with her true origins unknown to her. She was apparently also sculpted from clay by Queen Hippolyta and brought to life at the same time Diana was, but stolen at birth and raised by the war god Ares. The first was called Nubia, and was introduced as Wonder Woman’s long lost twin sister. There have been two different version of the character, from two different eras of DC comics. Whichever of her superhero codenames she uses, Donna is the perfect “gateway character” for an Amazon-led film, as a hero with a foot in both worlds. As a human girl raised by Amazons, she then had to rediscover her roots in the outside world. When each of the Amazons granted a portion of their strength to the mortal child, she became almost as mighty as her older sister. Afterwards, Diana gave the infant Donna to her mother Hippolyta to adopt as one of her own. She’s had many origins, but Donna Troy’s best-known backstory started out with her as an orphaned child whom Wonder Woman rescued from a fire. She’s been called Wonder Girl, Troia, Darkstar, and she was even Wonder Woman for a brief time. But who else should join her? Here are our top 5 Amazons from the pages of DC who should get their shot at live-action movie glory. Obviously we’d love to see Queen Hippolyta return, once again played by Connie Nielsen. Over the years, many other Amazons have appeared in the pages of DC Comics, many of which could headline a movie on their own. With a Wonder Woman spin-off film centered around the Amazons of Themyscira potentially on the horizon, it’s got us thinking about which other warriors from Paradise Island should get the spotlight in this project. ![]()
