Wonder Woman Villains - Circe

Extremely pleased with the final product. Wanted to do an amalgamation of Circe’s 3 major comic book looks (classic green dress, 2000′s pink haired, and new 52 red braids) and I love how they came together.

Cheetah (a.k.a) Barbara Ann Minerva

[charlietheepicwriter7]

Hey, does anyone remember that one episode of the OG teen titans where it was that contest of champions or whatever? Becuase...

"Welcome, champions all! I am the Master of Games, and you are hereby invited to compete in the Tournament of the Strongest! Each of you have been specially chosen as the smartest and strongest each species has to offer."

"Hey, isn't that a fourteen-year-old?"

The Villains Daughter

So! Years ago, back when the Justice League was only just starting out, only a year or two after their initial team-up, they had one of their biggest battles to date. A group of Extra-Dimensional Beings had burst into their reality, hellbent on destroying a Government Facility and the nearby small town in Illinois.

They barely managed to beat the Invading Army back, although the Government Facility and a part of the nearby Town had been destroyed in the battle.

Later, they would learn about what had happened. Apparently the Government Base, called a GIW Facility, had managed to finally Crack the secret to Interdimensional Travel a few days earlier. Unfortunately, they had opened a Portal into a Dimension known as the Ghost Zone, ruled over by a Tyrant King who wanted to enslaved all world under him. Their Breaching of the GZ had alerted the Tyrant King to the existence of their Dimension, and he had launched an immediate Invasion to try and take it over.

And the evidence supported this.

Wonder Woman shared Legends of her People, telling that their Founding Ancestor had fled the rule of a Tyrant King when she passed into the Afterlife.

Zatara shared his Magic Tomes, showing them passages detailing the horrific Rule of the Tyrant King of the Infinite Realms.

They even asked Boston Brand, the Deadman and resident Ghost about it. He hadn't been the the Ghost Zone in Years, but even he told them that he had personally fled the Tyrant King.

And they also learned that when the Tyrant King set his eyes on something, he did not falter on his Warpath to acquire it. The Tyrant King, Pariah Dark, would be back for their World, again and again.

And they needed to be prepared. This Battle was what kickstarted their true Commitment to the idea of a Team. They knew they could not defeat Pariah Dark alone, so they needed to remain as a Team.

But there was another thing that came about from the Battle.

While the JLA had been helping clean up, Wonder Woman came across a strange sight. A Baby had been left in the rubble of the GIW Building.

She asked around, investigated, and did all she could to find the babies parents. At first she thought that one of the GIW Agents had brought their kid to work that day, but their records indicated that none of the Agents had children of that Age. And Neither did any of the other workers who worked on the base, like the Janitors or the Kitchen Staff. And of they did, all of their children were accounted for.

She eventually came to the conclusion that the Baby must belong to somebody in the nearby Town, but that lead led nowhere either.

She finally came to the conclusion that the Baby's parents must have died in the Invasion, a very unfortunate but very real possibility. She was going to place her into the System, but over the course of her investigation she had grown fond of the Child.

She decided to Adopt the baby herself. She didn't know the child's name, so she had to come up with a new one.

"How do you like the name, Stella?"

The baby gurgled in delight.

...

Over the next decade of their Teams Existence, the Justice League had to fend off the Legions of the Ghost King's Army many more times. It seemed that Pariah had grown wise to the fact that they were the ones defending the Human Realm, as almost all of the later attacks were directed on them personally.

It made sense, they were the First Line of Defense against his Armies, if he managed to defeat them, their World would soon fall.

But they dealt with the attacks as they came. They had made it their mission to defend their Home from the Forced of Pariah Darks Army, and they would not falter now, or ever.

In the case of Wonder Woman, he Daughter had grown to be a fine little lady. Stella had eventually developed Powers similar to her mother, in that she could fly and had super strength, and had begged to be trained as a Hero.

And who was Diana to deny her Daughter her greatest wish? Over the next 5 years, Diana trained Stella in the ways of the Amazon's. Then, when Stella was 15, she had her join the newly formed Young Justice.

She made a great group of friends on that Team, and even started going by Ellie as a Nickname. Her best friend was by far Conner, though she didn't know why she felt such a strong connection to him? It felt like she could relate to him, but her situation was completely different?

Ah well, her Mom wouldn't mind having another kid, would she? She always wanted a Brother!

...

Meanwhile in the Ghost Zone, the Ghost King was getting anxious. After 15 years, his Agents in the Human Realm had finally managed to set up the Ritual needed to Summon Him into the Human Realm.

Who knew that accepting the Ghost King's Throne would bar him from entering the Human Realm through normal Means? He couldn't even use the Portal, he needed to be summoned or he simply wouldn't be able to leave his new home dimension.

But now, it was almost time. Just another year or two, and he would finally be able to enter the Human Realm. He would finally be able to Find Her. His Daugther.

Danny would finally be able to reunite with his daughter, Ellie.

I am going to beat you UP BOOSTER GOLD!!!

In the future, all of the earth will be conquered. In a pretty easy way. Without wars and similar situations, and while under tyranny, it was actually a good place. A true utopia without heroes, villains, and similar. +++ In the past, It had been a normal day in the Justice League as Portal opened and a group of heroes and villains came out: Just looking around, and all of them tried to jump Booster Gold and Flash. As the Justice League after stopping them asked why the time traveler wanted to beat them up that badly, all of them wanted to do it. It was funny to see Lex and Superman working together after all. +

They began to explain. ____ It all began with the introduction of young Dr. Daniel Fenton, a true child prodigy and self-made wealthy boy dedicated to helping others. Everything was going smoothly until Booster Gold decided to share his unconventional thoughts. He Suggested! That the child could potentially conquer the world using the current setting. And then told him a range of bizarre ideas, including a communications jamming system, missiles, traps, self-activating lasers, and even an indoor lagoon filled with piranhas.

Danny: "Piranha. Why ever would I want… piranha?" Booster Gold: To eat the heroes And also think about a secret underground grotto with a speed boat for escape purposes. And-and-and gigantic Moving Weapons of doom, they'd be huge and destroy anything in their path!"

The Flash intervened, urging Booster Gold to leave, and Danny bid them farewell, expressing gratitude. The Flash: Come on, Gold, we should leave. + As they departed. Danny pondered the peculiar suggestions, acknowledging his abundant wealth and free time and contemplating the need for a new and interesting hobby. ++ Danny had come to this world to be a hero. But he never tried to pull a Vlad. And when he is done, he can show that he is better at it than him! All he needed was to plan to not fail.

++ So after 5 years of planning, at the age of 19, he started his Conquest of the World, which was pretty successful in his victory speech. He thanked Booster Gold and the Flash for telling him he could change much more and much better if he were a villain and just took over the world! And he did! ++ While in the Justice League and Legion of Doom, who were in hidding, all at once slowly turned their heads to the duo. Like in a Horror Movie.

++++

Back to the present/Past

Both groups are happy that Flash and Booster Gold didn't meet the child prodigy; it turns out he was still at least 10 or 9 years old at the moment. A few years before he became famous, he was just living alone somewhere on Earth.

But that means a new plan!

Lex, like Veronica Cale, was pissed that the boy was able to take over their company, but then again, the boy was able to take over all the companies in America at the same time.

But now, in the past, they can think of plans—good plans! With their Guiding they can do so much! Same with Heroes.

DC characters - Cheetah (Barbara Ann Minerva)

[mango-sp1ce]

HEY DC X DP FANS

REMEMBER CALCULATOR??? THE CALCULATOR? Whatever the fuck his nerdy ass name was???

He like, was the villain equivalent of oracle in dc-online. And he’s like a character that I don’t think dc really uses often… (Yes I still play that- shut up)

Yeah, anyways-

Boom, make him Tucker. Or make Tucker him??

Tucker = The Calculator

Get it? Got it? Good.

then do whatever the fuck with that. Like- Danny could be a villain in training (dc-online story arc???)

Or maybe no one else knows, and then the bats find out and Tucker freaks the hell out

Or I dunno- Danny is a “villain” (but in the fun way, not so murderous) and ends up being recruited as one of the villain mentors (yknow; Lex, Joker, Circe)

(Since each is a counter to a hero; Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman. What if Danny’s the counter to another hero? Or even the counter to the entire Justice League Dark. I think it’d be pretty funny if he’s the counter to Flash or something)

And now he’s gotta mentor a bunch of villains-in-training who literally busted out of test tubes and have no memories from before… and god hes just adopting kids isn’t he?

maybe somehow Klarions here, too.

I rambled in the tags a lil bit btw…

Wondermom

Danny is 15

Diana was not the first person to meet Danny upon his arrival to her earth, in fact she wasn’t even the first themysciran to meet him. Hippolyta was enjoying a walk through the gardens when a massive portal appeared in front of her. She was immediately on guard and ready to strike when a 4 armed giant breached the portal in one of her arms there appeared to be a child. She said “it has been many years since we crossed swords sister, however now is not the time” Hippolyta kneeled before the ancient warrior. “I have come to ask for the aid of your aid and that of your daughter” it’s then that Pandora sets the bleeding child, a young Boy in front of the queen.

“You would bring a man here?!”

“I bring a CHILD here, for healing and guidance. This child has sacrificed everything he had for his people and they BETRAYED HIM!! This child is under MY protection. All I ask from you is his wounds to be healed and that you call upon your daughter, I will make my request of her directly.” The queen reluctantly agreed and called for her guard to take the boy to be treated by magic purple healing ray (real thing). Upon further inspection what appear to be defensive wounds coating his body, burns, bruises, slashes. As if the boy just took the beating. There were no wounds that indicated he fought back.

Diana came to Themyscira 2 days later, when she arrived she was greeted by her mother and lead to the gardens. She asked her mother what was the reason for such an urgent visit. She simply replied that all would soon be explained. When they arrived Diana was greeted by the form of a giant. When she recognized her she kneeled and greeted the warrior.

“There is no need for such formalities, especially consider the favor I have come to ask.” Diana rose and it was then she noticed the young boy sleeping in the giantess’ arms, she smiled and said

“This child goes by the name Daniel and he is a child of life and death, a perfect balance, and he fought hard to protect his mortal home. He sacrificed everything he had to help them and successfully managed to bring peace between his realms. Or so he thought, young Daniel was betrayed by his mortal parents. It has been some time since I began to see him as my own, however he is a child of BOTH realms and he needs a living mother that can help him meet his needs.” Pandora looked down at him with a sad look

“He needs to live his life just as he has accepted his death, this is the favor I ask of you Diana, daughter of Hippolyta, princess of Themiscyra, that you help guide Daniel in this world, where I cannot.”

Diana says that she has many responsibilities in the world of man, and many more enemies. Pandora smiled, “you’ll find that Daniel is more than capable of defending himself. He would often join me for training when he could the time. I’m sure he would enjoy sparing with you if you would like.”

Diana smiled “I am honored you would consider me for this task and I would be honored.”

Pandora gave a wide smile “there are some things you should know, while I will allow him to inform you of his abilities at his own disclosure, I would ask that you not pressure him to join you in you duties as a member of the justice league, he has fought hard for peace and the decision to rejoin that fight is up to him and him alone. Along with this you should know that this child has many powerful ally’s so if he mentions anyone… concerning, just be aware that ALL of his friends only have the best intentions for him.” At this Pandora gave an almost nervous grin “and finally I should warn you he is quite…. Mischievous. Be careful leaving him unattended he seems to attract chaos”

At this she turned to the young boy, Daniel, and woke him from his sleep, “Daniel, it’s time to wake up, there’s someone I want you to meet.” The boy woke as he was set on the ground, now that he was standing it appeared he was older than she originally thought, but no matter she made a promise. “This is the person I was telling you about, this is Diana, known to the world of men as Wonder Woman, she will be taking care of you from now on.”

“I’ve told you before, please just call me Danny. Cant I just stay with you? I can help in the labyrinth, making sure no one can steal your box.” Pandora smiled sadly “there is nothing I would like more, but you need the living just as much as you need the dead.” 

Danny sighed “will I at least be able to visit you and dad?” Pandora give a sweet smile and says “practice your portals and you can visit me anytime you like”

Danny smiled and hugged Pandora one last time before turning to Diana with a sheepish look on his face “looks like your stuck with me for now, I’ll try not to get in you’re way” Diana smiled back at him the two of them headed to the invisible jet and with one last wave goodbye they took off to the world of men.

When they finally arrived, Diana showed him around the apartment and told him that they’d take a tour around the city later if he felt up to it. Danny seemed out of it the whole time. When they were done eating Diana asked Danny to wait a minute before he went to bed. She sat him down and talked to him about how she understood some of what he was going through, leaving home going to what felt like a whole new world, losing friends along the way. That if he ever needed to talk she was there.

The first week living with Diana was rough, they bought new clothes and other things for Danny, when they went to have Danny’s papers done they discovered everything was already taken care of, so they went school searching and managed to find a nice school near the museum Diana worked at (pretty sure this is canon not positive) things settled for a bit.

It was after Diana was fighting some villains that were using advanced weaponry and wore white costumes that she found Danny curled up in a corner having a panic attack. It took almost an hour for him to fully calm down enough to explain what was wrong. And before he knew it he had told her everything, about the GIW, about his parents, about how they cornered him, and hit him with SOMETHING that forced him to change back and how when he did… they didn’t believe him. He was in tears by the end of it and Diana held him tight, she was enraged at what happened to him but she refused to make him afraid of her as well.

After their heart to heart the two of them grew closer and every now and they would spar and Danny would slip and call Diana mom, eventually just giving in. He had flourished in his time with her, he picked up engineering at school and seemed to have a talent for it so much so that he was offered him a scholarship. Her heart filled with joy seeing how much he was flourishing. Danny started to ask questions about her work as a hero, though never asking to join, he seemed invested in her fights and even came up with pretty good strategic advise. It was about this time that a certain team of protégés broke into Cadmus labs and freed the clone of Superman.

Diana saw an opportunity with the team and after speaking with the rest of the league, she asked Danny if he would like to join. Danny was reluctant as he didn’t want to get back into the hero business, but Diana suggested that instead of a position on the front lines he could provide support from the sides. Providing intel and strategies. Reluctantly he agreed and he was introduced to the team.

The team is weary of him and honestly he creeps M’gann out in the beginning, he just kept staring when he thought no one was looking. She brought it up with the team and they were going to confront him. Before they got the chance however he confronted HER, and by confront I mean he nervously approached her asking I he could ask her a question she said yes. What happened next none of them predicted. The quiet loner who kept to himself asked her about mars and after she answered the question they kept coming question after question, they talked for almost 2 hrs just about mars. M’gann tells the rest of the team that it’s all fine it was all just a misunderstanding and the two of them start hanging out, this leads to another misunderstanding. See now the team thought the 2 were dating. Conner was not okay with this arrangement but didn’t say anything. Surprisingly enough Kaldur got stricter with the two as well. Enough so that Danny and Kaldur started to butt heads during down time.

It annoys the hell out of Danny and he complains to his mom saying that “it’s not fair that someone so cute can be so aggravating” Diana laughs at his plight and questions why he doesn’t just ask Kaldur out to which Danny scoffs and says something along the lines of he’s so out of my league he might as well be on mars. At some point Danny leaves for about a week to visit his time dad and tall mom along with all his other friends. When he comes back Conner and M’gann have started dating, but haven’t told anyone. He still hangs out with M’gann but now Conner hangs out with him too. Absolutely no one, Diana was expecting the bombshell when he casually mentioned he had a clone too her name was Dani with an “I” honestly not everyone believed him. Kaldur stands up for him and says that Danny is many things but he is not a liar, making Danny blush green. This did not go unnoticed be Diana.

(To everyone’s surprise and shock Dani shows up a week later raids the fridge and disappears, Danny just laughs and says yeah she does that sometimes)

Eventually things come to a head when Kaldur and Danny get into a loud argument in a side room after a mission. Wally starts taking bets on wether or not they are gonna kill each other when they hear Kaldur start shouting in Atlantean, there is a full 45 secs of silence before Danny yells back in fluent Atlantean. There is silence for a good five minutes before they ask M’gann to check on them, so ,worried, she agrees pokes her head through and comes right back. She is blushing like crazy and refuses to explain, only stating that they stopped fighting and that they should leave NOW.

Diana couldn’t be prouder though she wasn’t sure whether she was happy or disappointed she didn’t have to resort to the lasso.

Wonder Woman Villains - Queen Clea

I love Queen Clea and its kind of surprising she doesn’t get utilized more often. She is a great physical match for Wonder Woman and has a strong villain personality and a ruthless agenda that just leads to endless combat/conflict. And she’s an OG villain. I would love to see her pop up more often.

For her design I wanted her to be more warrior-esque and decided to pull more from her 40s color palette and make her metal plating bronze instead of gold. To be honest I still don’t know how I feel about this design. I may have gotten too detailed with it (it seems all my DC characters are on a shifting scale of stylization), or maybe the bronze just doesn’t look like I wanted it to, or maybe she needs more green and more saturation. I may have to revisit her again in the future once I sit on it.

[wanderingmind867]

I hate batman. A lot. I want to tear that man down, bit by bit. I want to write a story where he tries to kill the rest of the justice league in a paranoid haze, and then has to face consequences. I want him gone. Dead. Forever erased from existence. We keep the villains and maybe the supporting cast. We ditch him. We have to. He is one of my least favourite superheroes. He's always boring! So goddamn boring! I will preach until I'm dead: Get rid of batman!

Ditch the darkness! Give us more Superman and Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel/Shazam. DC should go back to their repository of old heroes, but leave batman the hell alone. Replace him with Wesley Dodds or something if we have to! But leave batman alone! Forever!

"HER ABILITY TO MANIPULATE HER SIZE SUGGESTS POWERS SIMILAR TO THOSE OF THE ATOM."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on preliminary sketch art and/or character art of Giganta, recurring Wonder Woman/Atom villain, and member of the Legion of Doom, from the "Justice" (2005-'07) maxi-series published by DC Comics. Artwork by Alex Ross.

Resolution at 1074x1650 & 1300x943.

ORIGIN: "Nothing is known about Giganta, except that she was somehow evolved from an ape by technology that originated in Gorilla City. I do not yet know if there is a Grodd connection. Giganta's aggression indicates she is not a citizen of Gorilla City, as Solovar and all the denizens of Gorilla City are dedicated to peace.

Her abiility to manipulate her size suggests powers similar to those of the Atom. Perhaps he'll, one day, have to face her. I'm not sure Ray has it in him to strike her. I'll have to impress upon Ray the fact that she's a gorilla. And evil.

I will have to ask Flash for an update for this file. For years, he seemed to be the only human being with knowledge of Gorilla City and its geography. Perhaps he can help me better understand this enemy."
