Alpha Centurion War:

“I became betrothed to Sadar Nadra Nadar who I later married as my first wife.” “I later became as my secret personal bodyguard of Cardinal Changeling (Alexander Mack Smith/Alexandria Macy Smith) who always guards him/her/them from the shadows and became his/her/their secret personal enforcer who is his/her/their grim reaper.” “I soon encountered Queen Nessars (she is the younger sister of Empress Nessar who is the wife of Scarlet Shapeshifter (Alexander Smith/Alexandria Smith) who sought me out for an heir.” “She challenged me to combat to see if I was worthy of being her betrothed.” “She said she had heard of me defeating and almost killing Karina, Sabrina, Clarissa, & Raquel (who were as strong as Supergirl (Kara Zor-El), Reign the World Killer, Galatea (the clone of Supergirl), & Divine (the clone of Supergirl) infected by Red K and supercharged with Blue Sun).” “She also heard of me killing beings (who were strong as Cyborg Superman (Hank Henshaw) with a Kryptonite sword, Biomax (Jack Spheer), Maxwell Lord, & Superboy-Prime (Superman-Prime) with an nth metal sword dipped in element x.” “She witnessed the video of it taking Dean Lucas Chambers, Mason Owen Jones, Lola Macias, Carolina Robbins, Lisa Mackenzie, & Layla Nolan to finally stop me.” “I did not speak, nodding to Alexander Mack Smith/Alexandria Macy Smith who talked to his/her/their wife Nijah Nadra Nadar had her take us to the place I slain that assassin (who was strong as Ra’s Al Ghul & his father the Sensei) to join Firebrick Fire Fox (Alexander Smith/Alexandria Smith) and become his/her/their personal secret bodyguard and personal secret enforcer as the Black Hand called Nekron.” “Emerald Eagle was personally trained by several metahuman and superhuman alien and human people (that were strong as The Sensei (Ra’s Al Ghul’s father), Deathstroke (Slade Joseph Wilson), Adeline Kane Wilson (Slade’s wife and one of the ones who trained Slade), William Randolph Wintergreen (Slade’s bodyguard and butler and one of the ones who trained Slade), Ra’s Al Ghul, Nyssa Al Ghul, Talia Al Ghul, Huntress (Helena Bertinelli), Deadshot (Floyd Lawton), David Cain (Cassandra Cain’s father), Lady Shiva (Sandra Wu-San-Cain who is Cassandra Cain’s mother), Director Amanda Waller, Colonel and Deputy Director Steven “Steve” Trevor of Team 7 and Argus, Queen Maxima, Cheetah (Dr. Barbara Ann Minerva), Sportsmaster and Huntress (Lawrence Crock and Paula Nguyen-Crock), Bronze Tiger (Ben Turner), Batwoman (Katherine Rebecca “Kate” Kane), Green Arrow (Oliver Jonas “Ollie” Queen), Natas (who trained Green Arrow and Deathstroke), Dark Archer (Malcolm Merlyn), Captain Boomerang (George Harkness), Warlords of Okaara (the finest warriors in the galaxy who trained Tamaranean royalty Komiand’r, Koriand’r, & Ryand’r), Former Talon (Calvin Rose), Rick Flag, Former Talon (Strix), Batman (Bruce Wayne), Katana (Tatsu Toro), Wonder Woman (Princess Diana Prince of Themyscira), & Queen Hippolyta of Themyscira) as their personal protégé in all forms of lethal and nonlethal combat in Elmental County, Hellfire County, & Magical County.” “After training with them to survive the Obsidian Order sent by his/her/their rival who sent assassins after him/her/them to steal their inheritance he/she/they then joined and served with the spec ops and black ops superhero groups Primal and Alpha. Upon completing the hellish training by Mack Smith/Macy Smith she was given two unbreakable glowing enchanted Shadow Syndicate Persian scimitar swords and an enchanted glowing tattoo to signify her status as the secret personal bodyguard of the Shadow Hand Nekron as their shadow and secret personal enforcer of the leader of the Shadow Syndicate as their grim reaper.

“With no words exchanged between the two of us.” “I unsheathed my two Persian scimitar swords used by the leader of the Shadow Syndicate given to me Alexander Smith/Alexandria Smith while Queen Nessar did the same with her 2 alien swords.” “Before Sadar and Nijah could speak to begin the match Queen Nessar sliced at my torso thankfully my training with Sadar and Nijah helped me dodge it.” “Queen Nessars was merciless and relentless in her attacks but never the less I countered her attacks with a hit and continued fighting.” “You are a formidable opponent Queen Nessars (younger sister of Empress Nessars), but you forget I defeated Raquel, Clarissa, Sabrina, & Karina (who are comparable to Supergirl, Galatea, Divine, & the World Killers)!” “I killed beings (as powerful as Maxwell Lord, Superman Prime, Biomax, & Cyborg Superman) for what they did to my family!” “It took Dean Lucas Chambers, Mason Owen Jones, Lola Macias, Carolina Robbins, Lisa Mackenzie, & Layla Nolan to even defeat me!” “The fight felt like it would never end.” “Queen Nessars truly was one of my strongest opponents.” “It was after she slipped up and dropped one of her swords that I was able to knock Nessar out with a head butt and lariat takedown and defeated her.” “After accepting her challenge we fought and I defeated her.” “I was soon betrothed to her also & would be married to her and Sadar.” “Cardinal Changeling and I became one of the most dangerous and sought-after mercenaries, assassins, shinobi, & bounty hunters.” “I gained a name, a codename the Arcane Assassin or the Mystic Mercenary.” “I picked up lethal & nonlethal: throwing, melee, & ranged weapons, including guns, composite bows, compound bows, & crossbows, as my tools. “We did some wet work for someone (who was like Amanda Waller, Vic Sage, Eliza Danvers, Jeremiah Danvers, Nick Fury, & Steve Trevor.” “We worked in the Enigma (imagine Argus, Outsiders, the Suicide Squad, the DEO, Checkmate, & Team 7) under her command.” “Working in the Sentinels where I was reunited with Jen or Jenny one of the people I trained alongside of for magic since modern times in Mystery City, Arcane City, Hidden City, Enigma City, & Esoteric City.” “I also dated Jennifer.” “Jen & I went to Celestial City, Haven City, Nekron City, Shadow City, & Crypt City where Alex/Lexi and I went toe to toe with several superheroes (comparable to Green Arrow, Huntress, Batwoman, Catwoman, & Batman) when Allison sent both of us there to test our abilities.” “When we became assassins, bounty hunters, & mercenaries Alex/Lexi and I wore armor that was a combination of Deathstroke’s, Winter Soldier’s, Dark Archer’s, Arkham Knight’s, & Deadshot’s armor.” “When I returned, I was soon reunited with my amazonian bodyguard Audrey (imagine someone like Cheetah (Dr. Barbara Ann Minerva), Giganta (Dr. Doris Zuel-Choi the wife of Atom (Ryan Choi) combined) and my arcane bodyguard Angela (imagine someone like Scarlet Witch, Enchantress, Zatanna Zatara, & Circe combined).” “Audrey pressed her forehead towards mine.” “She told me it was done & I can find peace.” “I learned from Angela that the rest of the leaders of Nemesis (imagine people like Roulette, General Wade Eiling, General Sam Lane, & Lillian Luthor were finally dead.” “She hugged me & told me Dean Lucas Chambers and Mason Owen Jones had both destroyed Nemesis and burned it to the ground.” “I finally cried & shed tears into Angela’s shoulder at that moment when she and Audrey were comforting me at that moment.” “Alexander/Alexandria and I became antiheroes and vigilantes after training with several metahumans (similar to Green Arrow (Oliver Jonas “Ollie” Queen), Black Canary (Dinah Laurel Lance-Queen), Huntress (Helena Bertenelli), Catwoman (Selina Kyle-Wayne), Batwoman (Katherine Rebecca “Kate” Kane), & Batman (Bruce Thomas Wayne).” Standing in contrast to the mercenaries who drag in everybody branded as lawbreakers for money are those who target pickpockets, swindlers, and killers exclusively and for no material compensation. Vigilantes are often soldiers dumbstruck by recently found social decay and corruption when they returned home from war. They are affluent citizens with a fondness for military ability with an axe to grind against their city’s sleazy underbelly for a past transgression and personal offense. Living a life of vigilantism means that they will always be on the guard for illegal activity particularly so if they are inside the borders of a city they declare as their home. The guarantee of compensation never affects the resolve and choice where they target and they hold themselves to a higher code than their erratic foils. They believe it preferable to turn their marks over to the suitable establishment instead of hurting them. Police and armed forces are likely to bend the rules to their illegal behavior unless they cross someone in their rank be they tarnished, prideful, or otherwise. Furthermore as their status grows they will progressively earn the tribute and assistance of the common people who find their streets safer and insignificant ruffians less disposed to hold them at knife point or gunpoint over a few coins. Simultaneously societies and people familiar to using their assets to help direct a city’s classification of criminal such as a merchant house, shady council member, and the like will slowly grow to resent and maybe lash out at their growing repute. Pulling from their former skills as a soldier, mercenary, & even an extensive time living the life of a vigilante they have the ability needed to fight a kind of mental war against the criminal elements of civilization. When interrogating someone to collect information about the location, intention, or operations of their leaders they will simply cave in under questioning and oftentimes eagerly give up sensitive information without the need to press further. Any oath they may make regarding their fate in exchange for information they are not compelled to keep apart from killing them. They can synchronize this information with any agency in a city they are on cordial terms with be it the police, national or cosmic guard, or their own old military division. “For my final test of the vigilantes I had to defeat opponents (similar to Katana (Tatsu Toro), Lady Shiva (Sandra Wu-San), & Bronze Tiger (Ben Turner).” “Although it was difficult, I did.” The armor Alexander/Alexandria and Laurissa wore as a vigilante and antihero was a fusion of the armor of Batman (Bruce Wayne), Green Arrow (Oliver Queen), Batwoman (Katherine “Kate” Kane), & Huntress (Helena Bertinelli). “Alex Smith/Lexi SmithI soon picked up a lethal & nonlethal compound bow with scope, a lethal and nonlethal composite bow, & lethal & nonlethal crossbow with scope as our additional weapons.” “With the consent of my wives I dated several male and female antiheroes and vigilantes (similar to Batman, Huntress, & Batwoman).” “One of them was Thomas Shepard one of the few men that I ever loved as a bisexual with a preference for women.” “Around that time, I mended my relationship with Mason and Dean with the help of Lola, Layla, Caroline, & Lisa.”

“Nijah Nadar at Alex’s/Lexi’s behest she created an heir for Nessar from my DNA mixed with Queen Nessar’s to placate her people that I named Jacob Owen Maximiliana Jones.” “Sadar asked to create a child from her DNA & my DNA which I named Katherine “Kate” Nadra Nadar.” Years ago. “Thinking about Clarissa Patricia Chambers and Raquel Alonzo at the gala I sang and danced to Over Getting Over You by Said the Sky featuring Matthew Koma (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mt8JNyQIBos).” “I thought that we had something.” “I’m done Raquel and Clarissa.” “I am done trying so much for you.” “Only for the two to never once even look in my way.” “Kissing me shatters that vow,” Laurissa said, “…remember?” “To think I’ve altered so much of myself to get the two of you to like me and you both still never really stare my way.” “I don’t identify myself any longer!” Clarissa and Raquel both asked, “Don’t you think you can fall back in love with us?” “I can’t fall in love with you two again.” “For I don’t want all the agony that comes with it.” “I’ve never encountered people who can so tenderly obliterate me the way you guys do.” “It would be better if we had never met Clarissa and Raquel.” “We are not livid at you just at ourselves…,” said Raquel Alonzo and Clarissa Patricia Chambers, “because we knew this would happen.” “But we let ourselves fall in love with you again anyways.” “You’re too late Raquel and Clarissa.” “It never works out for us and it never will.” “Somewhere deep inside us.” “We still have optimism that you will fall in love with us again how pathetic.” “The holo calls are not the same.” “We can hear it in your voice that it is not the same anymore.” After some healing after spending her time single Laurissa started to date Clarissa and Raquel. Lori stood in front of Clarissa and Raquel a rage behind her eyes. She couldn’t help but think how her two lovers could not trust her enough to tell her they were alien. Mason and Lori felt they could trust Dean with his secret after knowing him for only a short time even allowing him to work on upgrading his suit with Mason. They trusted Dean a metahuman with them being aliens. Lori felt she could trust Clarissa and Raquel with her being a demigod. And yet the two people she cared most about didn’t trust her enough to let her in on their secret. “I can’t believe that you both lied to me.” “When were the two of you ever going to tell me?” “Did you even love me?” With tears in her eyes Clarissa pleaded with Lori Jones to listen “We are sorry Lori but we thought we were protecting you, we never meant to hurt you!” “Please Lori we love you, we didn’t hide this from you because we didn’t trust you.” Raquel explained. Lori looked at the person who she thought she knew as well as her brother. “Well Dean what do you have to say for yourself?” Shaking his head Dean Lucas Chambers can’t help but feel guilty for hurting the one person whom he felt he could call a little sister. “Lori, it wasn’t my secret to tell, you know if I could I would’ve but they’re their own person and in time I’m sure they would’ve told you” Dean reasoned. He hates seeing his baby sister in agony, all his life he’s tried to protect her but this, this he knew would break her. Even he didn’t know about these two aliens. “Clarissa and Raquel, why didn’t you trust Lori with your secret, you’ve been dating her for months and have known her for more than years.” “Hell, you knew about Mason and Lori telling Dean his secret so what kept you and Raquel from telling her?” “Lori told the both of you the truth that she was a demigod so why didn’t you show her the same courtesy.” Layla asked. Openly crying, Clarissa shook her head because she really didn’t know. Her and Raquel had just thought that maybe it would be safe not to tell Lori they were aliens, but really, they had no real reason. If even Mason and Lori had told Dean and trusted him then what reason was holding Clarissa and Raquel back. Raquel was frowning as she stared at the people in front of her because they were right. Why did she hold back from telling the women she loved her secret? If she truly loved Lori, then she would have spilled and told her the truth about her alien origin just like Sabrina and Karina spilled and told her the truth of their sentient weapon origin making them similar to World Killers created by Nemesis. Perhaps Raquel and Clarissa were never good enough for Lori. Meanwhile Sabrina and Karina stood by helplessly watching their girlfriend in pain because of Clarissa Patrica Chambers and Raquel Alonzo keeping such a stupid secret from her. They were trying to figure out also why if Mason and Lori had told Dean about Mason being an alien then why had Raquel and not Alonzo? Sabrina Chambers asked, “Karina Alonzo how are we to help Lori?” “She is in physical pain if the look in her face is anything to go by.” Shaking her head Karina stays silence because this is one time where they cannot help their girlfriend besides simply being there for her. Lori spat, “You never loved me if you felt you couldn’t even tell me this after all this time, Raquel and Clarissa!” “Your brother Dean was told Mason and I about Mason’s secret a few months into knowing him and if that isn’t the epitome of trust then I don’t know what is.” She’s still trying to explain why they never said anything but at this point Clarissa and Raquel are at a lost and simple admit defeat because although this was their secret, Lori is right, if Mason and Lori felt they could trust Dean with it after just a few months then why couldn’t they do the same with Lori. “We both regret it all,” Raquel and Clariisa said, “we really do.” “We swear to you Lori.” “So please let us fix this, please!”

“Raquel and Clarissa, I no longer hold it against you for not telling me about you being aliens.” “I forgive you both.” Months later Alexander/Alexandria walks to Clarissa, Raquel, & Laurissa after their relationship has been healed says, “Clarissa, Raquel, & Laurissa I need to tell you something.” He/she/they say, “When we destroyed Nemesis when Lori escaped from their clutches we found something or actually someone.” “Make that some people.” “Secret projects left behind by Nemesis created by the leaders of Nemesis (imagine people like Lillian Luthor, Veronica Sinclair, Hank Henshaw, Maxwell Lord, & Jack Spheer) using the DNA of Laurissa Owen Maximiliana Jones and several aliens.” Alexandria/Alexander said to Laurissa, Clarissa, & Raquel, “Now that your relationship has been mended enough after your argument and now that you all have healed enough after your falling out.” “I wanted to let you know about them for the sake of your children.” “They deserve to know about their mothers and you deserve to know about your daughters.” “I told them about the three of you and they wanted to meet you.” “We’ve talked about it a lot and they want the two of you in their lives.” “We should we name them,” Laurissa asked Raquel and Clarisa. Laurissa said, “Raquel, Clarissa, & I found that Nemesis had created numerous children with my DNA whom I adopted.” “From Mason Owen Jones’s DNA and Dean Lucas Chambers’s DNA I adopted a child whom I named and now consider my son Charles Lucas “Chucky Chambers.” “I found out Nemesis had also created a child from my DNA & Raquel Alonzo’s DNA that I adopted and named Alexandra “Lexi” Eileen Marina Alonzo that Raquel and I named after my sworn sibling Alexander Mack “Alex” Smith/Alexandria Macy “Lexi Smith.” “I also found out that Nemesis had created a child from my DNA and Clarissa Chambers’s DNA that I adopted as my daughter that Clarissa and I named Leondrea “Leon” Patricia Chambers.” “I learned that Mason Owen Jones and princess Selina had two children such as Lady Charlotte Lucia Jones (the daughter of Mason Owen Jones and Princess Selina who is the daughter of Zeus and Hera) and Prince Chester Philippus Jones (the son of Princess Selina and Mason Owen Jones).” “All of my children, I’ve found, can use magic since they have divine blood and magical human blood in them.” “I also learned they gained alien like superhuman powers like I do when exposed to any form of solar radiation (of yellow suns, red suns, blue suns, & white suns).” “Humans a species of metahumans and superhumans thanks to the actions of Loki gained superhuman powers under yellow sun and supernatural even absolute powers under red, blue, & white solar radiation.” “I started raising Jacob, Kate, Chucky, Lexi, & Leon with my betrothed Queen Nessars, Sabrina Chambers, Sadar Nadra Nadar, Clarissa Patricia Chambers, Raquel Mariana Alonzo, & Karina Alonzo.” “When my relationship with Raquel Alonzo and Clarissa Patricia Chambers became neutral for the sake of Leondrea and Alexandria I was told about Leondrea Patricia ‘Leon” Chambers and Alexandria Alonzo Owen “Lexi” Jones by Alexander Mack “Alex” Smith/Alexandria Macy “Lexi” Smith.” “I got back together with Sabrina and Karina again.”

The College Years - Freshman Year (Chapter 19) -Stiles Stilinski

Author: @were-cheetah-stiles

Title: “The Moving Out and Getting Older”

Characters: Stiles Stilinski, Scott McCall, Sarah Millin & Reader/OFC

Warnings: Cursing and angst.

Author’s Note: Anyone know what song I ripped the title from?

Summary: Stiles, Scott, Isaac and Simon help Y/N, Sarah and Hanna move out of their apartment for the summer.

Chapter Eighteen - Chapter Nineteen - Chapter Twenty

"What'd you do?" Scott yelled at Mina, horrified at her actions.

"SHE KILLED MY BROTHER, SHE DESERVES TO DIE!" Mina screamed back, holding the Queen at knifepoint.

"We don't kill, Mina." Scott tried to make her remember his rule.

"You may not, but I'm not part of your pack." Mina said, as she slit her neck and plunged the bowie knife into the Queen's heart. Mina turned back to Scott, blood splattered across her face. "Ask Zachary how many people her and Thaddeus have killed. ASK HIM! They deserve it, Scott! They deserve it." Mina had become rabid. Everyone looked around, horrified at the bloodshed.

Scott turned to Zachary, who frowned. "Thousands." He answered Scott's unspoken question. "Hanna doesn't deserve to turn into this." He added, gesturing to himself.

"You're right, bloodsucker, she doesn't." Mina ran over to Thaddeus, who was being restrained by Derek and Parrish and slit his throat, then stabbed him in the heart with the bowie knife, in one fell swoop. She was now drenched in blood. "If you were really a True Alpha, Scott, you would understand that not all supernatural creatures are worth saving."

"So they all just left?" Sarah asked, as she loaded her microwave into the storage box.

"Pretty much. They scattered after they saw Mina slaughter the Queen and Thaddeus in the middle of the street in front of the mansion." You told your roommate, catching her up on what had happened that fateful night. "I don't blame them. It was insane... and gory." You stared at the jar of olives in your hand, looking for the expiration date, as you sat in front of your open fridge, and then chucked it in the garbage.

"Where did Mina go?" Sarah asked.

"I'm pretty sure that she took her finals and went home actually." You shrugged. "Honestly, I don't want to kill, and watching her do it is definitely going to give me nightmares for the rest of time, but it ended it all and it saved Hanna so... I don't know. There was nothing we could do about her." You shook your head and went back to cleaning the food out of your apartment’s fridge.

"I can't believe that Hanna's taking her finals right now." Sarah commented. "After everything that happened."

You laughed and smiled up at Sarah, who was pulling items out of the drawers in their kitchen. "I expect nothing less of her."

Sarah laughed and agreed. “Yea, that is Han for you... It was nice what she did for Zachary, too."

"Seriously.. I know he killed Mary, and that's horrible, but he was just as much a victim as Hanna and the rest of them." You commented.

"So you're telling me that they abducted you and killed Mary?" The detective clarified, sitting across from the table Zachary in the interrogation room. "And you think that Hanna will corroborate your story?"

"Yes, sir. Because it's true. I loved Mary, we were going to move down to Cupertino together, I wouldn't have ever hurt her." Zachary said.

"Alright, stay here, I'll be right back." The detective walked into the hall to talk to the officer taking Hanna's statement. "What'd she say?"

"She said that the two guys that he described followed her home from campus, broke into her apartment and kidnapped her. She has restraint marks and bruises all over her body that corroborate that." The officer explained.

"And what'd she say about Pillit?"

"She said that she overheard them talking about trying to abduct both Zachary Pillit and Mary Henley, but Mary got wounded, and so they killed her and took Zachary, and yesterday, the kidnappers just left, so Zachary and Hanna escaped from the mansion finally. Honestly, sir, it sounds like they got lucky."

"Alright, take it to the D.A.'s office. I guess we'll be dropping the charges against Pillit." The detective directed the uniformed officer.

"So what now?" Sarah asked.

"Now, it's over, we all somehow managed to pass our classes, no one died, the vampires have left Berkeley for good, and I'm pretty sure that Stiles is going to spend the summer forcing Scott, Parrish and Lydia to create a bowie knife for the Pack." You smiled and shook your head.

"Damn right, I am, and we're going to add all this crap to the Bestiary too." Stiles poked his head into the door of the kitchen, catching the last bits of their conversation. "Scott and Isaac are back, what can they take to the storage unit next?" Stiles asked the girls.

"Um, if the TV's are all packed, those can go, and everything in the pantry and storage closet should be packed up and ready." You directed your sweaty boyfriend.

"Simon should have some boxes in my room packed too, and anything that's taped up on the dining room table." Sarah added on.

"Got it." Stiles said as he left the girls alone again.

Sarah looked at you and saw you smiling. "When are you going to see him again?" She asked.

You sighed. You didn't even want to think about your summer apart from Stiles. "The subletters are out of their apartment on August 15th, and Scott and Stiles are back in on August 16th, so Stiles will fly out on the 1st and we'll spend a few days in New York and then start driving back here after. We move back in a few days later so, yea, it should be fine though." You explained.

"Hey, did you guys put the cups away yet?" Stiles asked as he opened the door to the kitchen again, wiping sweat off of his forehead.

"Yes, but we have plastic cups just for you." You said, pointing to the red Solo cups sitting in a bag on the counter.

Stiles walked over to the sink, filled his cup up with cold water and chugged it down.

"So the one thing I'm curious about is what happens to Zachary after all of this?" Sarah asked.

"Oh, well, the university readmitted him and issued an apology letter on the website, and so he'll be back here next Fall with us to finally get his degree. But in the meantime, he's coming to Beacon Hills with us and we're going to try to train him to only drink animal blood.. reintegrate him as a functional, non-murdering member of society." Stiles answered her question. "But he's proven himself to be pretty loyal, and he's a cool guy, and he said he can fix my iPhone screen for free because of all of his Apple knowledge, so he's part of the Pack now."

"He is definitely going to keep your hands full this summer." You laughed to yourself.

"So what are you doing this summer, Stiles?" Sarah asked.

"Well, making a bowie knife, for one, and saving a young vampire, aaaand I'm also interning for the Sheriff's Department in Beacon Hills." He counted off on his fingers.

"Oh cool!"

"Not really, I'm basically on lunch runs and answering phones all day about kittens stuck in trees or some other non-emergent bullshit. But if it goes well, Scott's dad said that he would get me an internship with the San Francisco FBI field office next summer, so whatever."

"And you're with a senator this summer, Y/n?"

"Congresswoman, but yea." You answered.

"You're heading back home to Seattle for the summer, right? What are you doing?" Stiles asked Sarah.

"Nothing really, trying not to get murdered or abducted by Big Foot probably." She joked.

"Now Big Foot is a supernatural creature that I could get behind." Stiles commented with a smile.

"You nervous something will pop up in Beacon Hills this summer while you're home?" Sarah asked.

"I mean, they're still having a wendigo problem, so hopefully we can stop that and that'll be all. I'm sure it'll go by so quickly that we won't have enough time to have a supernatural disaster." Stiles glanced over at you, who was looking up at him from the floor, a look of genuine sadness on your face.

"What about the thing that that witch told you, Y/n?" Sarah asked.

You tapped your knuckles against the counter a few times and pursed your lips. "I don't know." You sighed. I'm taking all of my books from this semester with me and if something happens, I'll figure it out." You looked up at Stiles.

"Yea..." He mumbled, staring at you, anxious about the future.

The History of Wonder Woman

Hey kid, wanna know the history of Wonder Woman? The whole messy lot of it, not just the very start?

Wanna know HOW her books ended up the biggest mess in the entire comics industry? Big clues as to why her movie took so long to make?

It has feminism, racism, sexism, blasphemy, infanticide, and bees...

Wonder Woman was created by Dr. William Moulton Marston, noted psychologist, inventor of the lie detector, writer, and feminist. He secretly lived in a polyamorous relationship with two women who helped him come up with Wonder Woman: his wife, Elizabeth Marston, and Olive Byrne, daughter of the major women’s rights crusader Ethel Byrne (known for helping her sister, Margaret Sanger, to create Planned Parenthood). He was heavily influenced by early-twentieth-century suffragists, birth-control advocates, and feminists.

Even putting aside how jaw-droppingly progressive his woman superhero was, the comics still stand out for how whimsical they were. Wonder Woman/Diana had an invisible plane and a telepathic radio. She jousted on a giant battle-kangaroo, and, like all Amazons, enjoyed deflecting bullets with her bracelets. She fought Nazis, mad scientists, valkyries, mole-men, tiger-ape hybrids, flying mer-sharks, a subatomic army, and her arch-enemy: Mars, the god of war. She regularly battled aliens well before it became common for her peers (including Superman, who in those days was usually taking on gangsters and corrupt politicians). When not kicking back with her mother and sister Amazons she hung out with a short and stout firecracker of a girl called Etta Candy, a slew of college girls, and an Air Force pilot named Steve Trevor that was as disaster-prone as Lois Lane. And while later writers said that gods gave her superpowers under Marston everything she could do was just from training real hard.

Analysis often puts attention on some elements that are – let’s not beat around the bush – kinky as hell (like the “bondage” aspect of Wonder Woman typing people up and getting tied up), but just focusing on that is a massive disservice to Marston. Early Wonder Woman comics were far ahead of the curve in sheer quirkiness and how progressive they were in their depiction of women (even stating there would be a woman President one day). It certainly helped that s Marston was often helped by his assistant, 19-year old Joye Hummel (I’ll come back to her in a moment), particularly when his health began deteriorating.

Marston put thought into Wonder Woman’s origin. Diana was created when the Amazon Queen, Hippolyta, wanted a child and Aphrodite granted her wish by bringing a clay baby to life. The “artificial woman” is a common theme in religion and mythology, including the most famous examples of Pygmalion and Pandora. Pygmalion was essentially a living gift to a sculptor that the gods liked, while Pandora was clay brought to life by the gods that promptly unleashed all the evil in the world (much like Eve, created from Adam’s rib). Marston could have made Wonder Woman’s father a god (a dime-a-dozen origin for heroes), but instead made her into an inversion of the “artificial woman” trope. Here was a woman made from clay, but she was neither a blight nor a prize to be won; raised by women, she was a hero in her own right. After millennia of blame for all the world’s woes, Pandora got her revenge: Wonder Woman.

How Marston got into comics is a story by itself. At the time, there was a fledgling movement to censor comics (“Dick Tracy is too violent!”). Family Circle magazine published an interview with Marston on the subject, since he was a noted psychologist who had worked for Hollywood as a consultant (the interviewer was actually Olive Byrne, who lived with the Marstons by then and wrote under a pen name). Marston’s defense of comics attracted the attention of DC Comics, who offered Marston a job as an “educational consultant” (wanting to tell any would-be censors that the staff psychologist okayed everything). Marston had offered the opinion that what comics needed wasn’t to censor “violent” heroes but rather to offer nonviolent alternatives, and saw an opportunity to introduce that, as well as to create a prominent female hero. His pitch was a hit - in 1941 Wonder Woman appeared.

Wonder Woman’s use of a lasso tying people up (and getting tied up) certainly boosted sales by appealing to readers that liked seeing a little bondage (including Marston himself). For Wonder Woman to succeed (and for his feminist message to reach male readers), Marston didn’t shy away from titillation. But her heavy use of a lasso wasn’t just a way to attract readers. The frequent imagery of Wonder Woman escaping from ropes and chains provided a powerful image of women escaping their metaphorical bonds. Moreover, it also stemmed from Marston’s desire to offer a less violent hero – Diana lassoed bad guys and explained what they’d done wrong instead of breaking their jaws like Batman or Dick Tracy. Wonder Woman’s compassion was front and center in Marston’s comic, and her efforts to reform her foes were a major theme.

And she certainly had her fair share of foes! Marston came up with a colorful gallery of recurring villains, including Giganta (a gorilla-turned-into-a-woman), Cheetah (think a Kardashian that went crazy and started wearing animal skins while committing crimes), the fascist mad scientist Dr. Poison, the misogynistic mentalist Dr. Psycho, and plenty more.

Marston worked from 1941 to 1947, when he passed away of cancer. Joye Hummel, his assistant, asked to continue writing the book, making an argument like “you know I was writing a bunch of the stories already, right? Marston had polio and cancer; I was doing most of the work near the end.” DC heard her excellent argument and ignored her, giving the book to Robert Kanigher, the book’s editor (making him essentially his own boss), and there’s never been a more disastrous baton-passing between writers in all of comics history.

Kanigher’s Wonder Woman ran from 1948 to 1968. He had co-created The Flash and many other characters, and churned out scripts by the bucketloads, with particular impact on superhero and war comics (including that one with a real-life Confederate general as the hero). But his 20+-year(!) run on Wonder Woman was an unmitigated catastrophe.

The feminist underpinnings of the book were discarded (most egregiously, a section Marston had included in every issue celebrating great women in history was replaced with a section about weddings), and Diana seemed obsessed with Steve Trevor. As Dr. Fredric Wertham led a high-profile moral crusade against comics, DC kept Wonder Woman as inoffensive to 50s sensibilities as possible. Stories pitted her against monsters, mobsters, and aliens (with the occasional story about strange creatures falling in love with her), and while parts campily echoed Marston’s absurdist moments (Dinosaurs in a Department Store!), the core of the book withered. Steve became an “alpha-male” that felt threatened by Wonder Woman’s heroics… and she felt bad about it. While Steve and Hippolyta still showed up, the rest of the supporting cast were forgotten and nobody took their place. The idea that her feats stemmed from Amazon training was dropped – Wonder Woman was given superpowers by the gods (including flight, rendering her invisible plane obsolete).

Kanigher’s frequent time-traveling stories let Wonder Woman team up with her younger self. Thus, for a much of a 20+-year period, rather than building up a solid cast, Wonder Woman was left literally talking to herself. When Robin brought together other sidekicks to create the “Teen Titans,” nobody involved was paying enough attention to realize Kanigher’s "Wonder Girl” was just a younger Wonder Woman. After spotting the error, DC said the Wonder Girl in Teen Titans was a new character (“Donna Troy”), but attempts to retroactively connect her to Wonder Woman underwent so many rewrites over the years that she remains one of the biggest headaches in comics. When people read Teen Titans, they learn that Wonder Woman’s book is confusing.

Despite being on the book for over 20 years, Kanigher’s only notable new characters were Angle Man (a generic recurring mobster), Egg Fu (an evil egg/racist Chinese caricature, see below), Nubia (“what if we made another Wonder Woman, only this time with black clay?”), and Circe (another character plucked from mythology). Of the recurring villains that Marston had created, Kanigher used Dr. Psycho a few times, Cheetah twice, Giganta twice, and… that was about it. At a time when heroes like Batman, Superman, and The Flash were building up villains, settings, and supporting casts, Wonder Woman’s world was shrinking as fast as her peers’ were growing.

When his run concluded, Kanigher had essentially left Wonder Woman with no notable villains and a supporting cast smaller than when he had inherited the book 20 years earlier. Worse, book’s feminist soul was in tatters. The book was handed off to Denny O’Neil in 1968.

O’Neil, a major Batman writer, was almost as mismatched for Wonder Woman as Kanigher, and his editor wanted drastic changes to improve sales. O’Neil killed Steve (a mercy at that point), depowered Wonder Woman, and gave her an elderly Asian martial-arts instructor – basically trying to turn her into a spy-themed 70s movie hero.

Thankfully that run only lasted only a few years, and from 1974 to 1986 the book was thrown like a hot potato from writer to writer. Nobody stayed, little was built, Steve was brought back to life, Steve was killed again, Steve came back again, the setting was shifted to World War II (because the hot new TV Show was set in WWII), and then back to present day… it was clearly a book in serious trouble.

When Superfriends (the first Justice League cartoon) debuted in 1973, there was no clear major Wonder Woman villain in the books, so the show settled on Cheetah (who had racked up a paltry 9 appearances, including a reprint, in the 30 years that Wonder Woman had been around).

And when Lynda Carter’s Wonder Woman live action TV show came out in 1975, it was a hit that cemented the character’s prominence in American pop culture, but it was set in World War II. Wonder Woman wasn’t the only hero to be created in WWII, but hers was the only comic with its glory days so clearly in the past.

In 1986, DC rebooted their entire line of comics, wanting to start from scratch, updating and streamlining the best of what came before. Wonder Woman was given to George Perez (and Len Wein), and his brilliant run took the most iconic and well-known elements of the character, making it all work. He brought back Etta Candy and made Steve Trevor into a likable human being. The Amazons were fleshed out and given flaws and foibles. He plucked villains from the book’s distant past (Cheetah and Dr. Psycho, now revamped to be foes worthy of a Superman-level hero), and retooled a few of the more recent ones that had potential, like Circe. He showed that at least some Amazons were gay (in 1986!), and found a way to visually combine the classic Wonder Woman costume with more accurate Grecoroman soldier styles. If you’ve ever seen Wonder Woman dressed like a “warrior,” you have Perez to thank.

And while Wonder Woman remained compassionate, Perez showed that when there were no other options his Amazon warrior was willing to use lethal force.

Hippolyta and the Amazons were reimagined with a greater emphasis on actual Greek mythology, but at the same time were presented as a mutiracial tribe (of particular note, Perez introduced the black Amazon general Phillipus, who would be presented as Diana’s teacher and Hippolyta’s closest friend).

The difference between them and Amazons of myth was explained as being due lies told to make Hercules look good – in DC’s world the famous Greek demigod had actually deceived, raped, and enslaved the Amazons before they overthrew him and withdrew from the mortal world. In the “starting from scratch” new universe, Diana was written as having just left the Amazon island of Themyscira for the first time, finding a new home in Boston with Julia Kapatelis, Curator of the Museum of Cultural Antiquities (a great friend for an “ancient Greek” suddenly finding herself in the modern world!). Vanessa’s teenage daughter went on a few Wonder Woman-related adventures, and it looked like she was going to become a new (and less confusing) “Wonder Girl”. And Perez brought back the god of war (calling him Ares instead of Mars), who had been virtually absent since Marston’s run. That last bit’s incredible when you consider the villain was clearly her arch-enemy in the early days… imagine if Joker or Lex Luthor had been missing for decades. He also sought to end the cycle of writers not knowing what to do with Steve Trevor – Steve and Etta got engaged.

Then the book was handed to William Messner-Loebs (WML), who wrote it from 1992-1995. Sadly, it squandered almost everything Perez had done. Right at the start it threw her in space, abandoning the cast that Perez had introduced, and when she returned the Kapetalis family was nowhere to be seen. Perez had left one instruction when he left the book – Steve and Etta were to get married. WML had Etta appear a few times (long enough to make the always-comfortable-about-her-weight character bulimic), then wrote her and Steve out of the book without ever showing their wedding (a broken promise that resulted in Perez being furious with DC comics for years).

The Amazons of Themyscira were dropped into another dimension for years (and for most of that time the readers were led to believe Themyscira had been destroyed, so the reveal that it was in another dimension may have been a panic-driven last-minute change). A series of stories showed Wonder Woman trying to have a “normal” life, like holding a minimum wage job at a Taco Bell knockoff (bear in mind she had no secret identity – everyone knew she was Wonder Woman). Notably, he created a gritty new Amazon named Artemis that briefly became Wonder Woman, died, and came back because Wonder Woman desperately needed supporting cast members. Although he added little that was truly bad, WML had cost the book all the momentum and stability that Perez had given it.

John Byrne took over from 1995-1998, and set the tone by slaughtering half the Amazons at the start. His run had little good in it, but wouldn’t be too bad if not for a few things. First, he made a more confusing mess out of Donna Troy (the Teen Titans’ Wonder Girl). Second, he tried to make a flawed hero out of Hercules (established as a rapist in the Perez run). Third, he felt that since the Wonder Woman TV show had been set in World War II there needed to be a Wonder Woman in WWII, even though we’d already seen that the “start from scratch” Wonder Woman’s first adventures were in the modern days. Byrne had Hippolyta, Wonder Woman’s mother, go back in time to become the Wonder Woman of WWII, making her the first Wonder Woman and Diana the second, and if you think that seems really unnecessary then I hope you can go back in time to tell Byrne not to do it. Lastly, he shoved Steve, Etta, and the Kapetalis family even more firmly out of the book by having Diana move (to “Gateway City”), and came up with a “Wonder Girl” that was the teenage daughter of a museum curator specializing in Greek antiquities. Since she was a blatant photocopy of the character that Perez had created to become Wonder Girl, it’s unclear why he didn’t just use Perez’s character (the pattern of Diana’s supporting cast failing to get traction has never stopped).

The book was given to Eric Luke from 1998 to 2000. I’m not 100% certain why he got the axe mid-story, but I can guess - Wonder Woman met Rama, a major Hindu god (who was wearing a leather Korn jacket… a no-no for a Hindu god). They teamed up to fight the Greek god Chronos, who had already defeated the Greek and Hindu Pantheons and was waging war on Christian heaven. Furthermore, there were hints at romance between him and Wonder Woman, even though Rama is married in Hinduism. Perhaps someone in authority felt that the book had wandered into a religious minefield.

Phil Jimenez’s run lasted from 2001 to 2003. He liked the idea of Wonder Woman being the UN Ambassador representing the Amazons and tried to do something with that (for the first time since Perez), and fleshed out the Amazons by showing some of the conflicts between different groups. He implied that Phillipus (Wonder Woman’s Amazon mentor) was in love with Wonder Woman’s mom. He made an effort to draw from all eras of the book’s past (even Kanigher’s – the generic mobster “Angle Man” became a surprisingly enjoyable thief armed with a device that could turn his surroundings into an M.C. Escher drawing). The Kapatelis family from Perez’s run returned. Jimenez’s major new addition to the cast was a new boyfriend by the name of Trevor Barnes, who was killed by a fill-in writer the minute Jimenez left the book (Wonder Woman is not allowed have a consistent supporting cast). And due to the U.N. elements, Diana moved to D.C. (she’s not allowed get a consistent city either). He certainly made missteps - such as replacing Wonder Woman’s best-known original foe, The Cheetah, with a male character by the same name, so for a while this was a thing...

And for some reason Jimenez made a point of bringing up that Wonder Woman was a virgin. But overall, his run stands out for its sustained effort to build up Wonder Woman’s cast and villains, bringing back old favorites from all eras of the book.

Greg Rucka tried to build on the Perez-Jimenez idea of Wonder Woman as an Ambassador from Themyscira. She got an embassy staff as a supporting cast (complete with a Minotaur chef), and the embassy was given a teleportation portal to Themyscira, making it easier than ever to juggle the Amazon and non-Amazon parts of Wonder Woman’s world. Classic villains like Dr. Psycho and Cheetah (female) showed up, along with modernized takes of figures from Greek mythology. It was getting rave critical reviews and had stabilized many elements of her world, but DC decided they had an idea that would boost sales even more (spoiler: they were wrong) so they pulled the plug. The Amazons were yanked into an alternate dimension in a big crossover event and the embassy closed. Diana lost her supporting cast. Again.

DC’s big idea was a major overhaul by TV writer Allan Heinberg… whose run had so many delays that it started in 2006, ended in 2008, and was just five issues long. While Jimenez and Rucka had started to give Diana back stability in her supporting cast and made an effort to dust off and properly revamp some of her enemies, Heinberg went in the opposite direction, throwing villains at her without explanation for who they were, and giving Wonder Woman a whole new cast and a secret identity… as a superspy, drawing on O’Neil’s comics of the 70s of all things. Bear in mind that Wonder Woman had never had a secret identity after her 1986 reboot. Also keep in mind that having a superhero’s secret identity be an adventurous government agent with high-tech gear gets redundant fast. Although Heinberg’s run was a mess and he basically decided that as a TV writer he didn’t need to hand in comic scripts, it’s worth nothing that he has the sole screenplay credit for the new movie. Clearly, he did have a blockbuster Wonder Woman story in him – it just took a while to get it out.

The book was handed to Jodi Picoult, an acclaimed novelist that had never written comics before. It was the first time a woman was (openly) assigned a lengthy stint on Wonder Woman. But rather than let her learn the ropes and give her a chance to show her own vision of Wonder Woman, DC started a multi-title crossover event headed someone else. The event was called “Amazons Attack,” and Picoult was left to follow the lead of Will Pfeifer, a man who had never written Wonder Woman before, and whose knowledge of the character was apparently nonexistent.

The Amazons returned, but Diana wasn’t given a chance to enjoy having her cast back, because they immediately started a nonsensical war. It featured misandrist Amazons that killed defenseless children in cold blood for being male, plot-holes you could drive a truck through, the Amazons trusting Circe (think “Commissioner Gordon agreeing to make The Joker his deputy”), Batman being the one to (easily) defeat Circe, a wtf twist ending that told readers to pick up a non-Wonder Woman book, all leading up to the Amazons being taken out of Wonder Woman’s cast yet again – this time giving them amnesia and spreading them across the world where Diana could never find them (and in another book Pfeifer turned Angle Man from a likable rogue with interesting powers to a pathetic depowered misogynist – a good example of how Wonder Woman’s villains can’t catch a break either). It literally lost track of where characters were and what they were doing from one issue to the next, lost track of characters’ motivations in the story, contradicted itself on what characters could do, and tarnished Wonder Woman’s cast like nothing written before. Amazons Attack was DC’s first (and to-date only) big multi-book event revolving around Wonder Woman, and it’s best remembered for being awful. And for this:

After being forced to work on that, Piccoult walked away from DC and likely comics as a whole (she’d been greeted by the very worst that the industry has to offer). The book was given to Gail Simone, whose run lasted from 2007 to 2010. She made an attempt to use the spy agency supporting cast left by Heinberg. While the book was often plagued by writers not using the supporting cast left by the previous writer, Simone may have been the only writer who probably should have dropped what she’d been left. The pseudo-Agent of SHIELD secret identity failed to gel, even when Simone brought back Etta Candy. Unfortunately, Etta was one of very few things that Simone brought back – her run made heavy use of characters from other books, including characters from Flash, Green Lantern, and an obscure sword & sorcery book from 1975. Wonder Woman’s own supporting cast and villains remained in terrible shape. Simone started finding her footing (bringing back the Amazons and setting the stage for a wedding between two of them – Hippolyta and Phillipus, Wonder Woman’s mother and mentor!) when she was taken off the book in favor of another famous TV writer with his own vision.

J. Michael Straczynski rebooted Wonder Woman in an alternate reality where things had happened very differently (for one thing, Wonder Woman wore pants!), the Amazons were all but extinct, and there were a couple interesting things in his run aaaand The End. Less than a year in, DC reassigned him to things they thought would be more profitable.

The book was turned over to hardboiled crime series writer Brian Azzarello, who rebooted it yet again. An argument can be made that his run is more accurate to Greek myths, but only in the most cynical ways. The most egregious moment in his run was when he “revealed” that the Amazons regularly sneaked up on boats, pretended to be helpless women lost at sea in order to get on board, seduced the men, slept with them, then massacred the defenseless crews in their sleep. If any male babies resulted from that, they were sold to Hephaestus to be slaves (with the story stating that if they didn’t have the slavery option, the Amazons would just throw the male children off a cliff).

Now say what you will about the Amazons of myth, but they didn’t go around seducing anyone. They just straight-up charged into a village and killed people – evil, yes, but completely honest about what they were. Azzarello seemed to have merged the myths of the Sirens and Amazons and tried to create something even nastier. He basically looked at two of the most misogynistic stories in Greek mythology and went “hold my beer”. To really put this in perspective, keep in mind that in all the decades that Wonder Woman has been around, the Amazons have basically been the only remotely stable element in her supporting cast. What Azzarello did was essentially the same as a new Superman writer declaring that the entire staff of the Daily Planet had secretly been in a child sex ring all along. He also turned the Amazons to stone because Wonder Woman doesn’t get a consistent supporting cast. Ever. Additionally, he decided that the whole “clay baby” thing didn’t work for him, so he redid Wonder Woman’s origin to say she’s one of those millions of kids Zeus sired – her powers, thus, were owed to her father (he also scrapped the idea of Wonder Woman’s learning her skills from Phillipus and the other Amazons, and had her learn from Ares, meaning that she owed both her power and skill to male gods). So, after several decades, Marston’s deliberate attempt to flip the script of Pandora was discarded in favor of making Wonder Woman into a she-Hercules or Percy Jackson. And, spoiler alert, the movie seems to use his idea. It’s possible the sequel will go “nope, just kidding!” (one can hope), although I wouldn’t put it past the company behind Superman v Batman to double down and put in Azzarello’s reimagining of the Amazons.

Azzarelllo’s 2011-2014 run has its fans, but whatever the merits of his tale as a self-contained story I would argue that it was very bad for Wonder Woman overall, by further tarnishing the Amazons and continuing an alarming trend of making nothing in her book consistent over time. Moreover, while he was focusing on his new characters and Greek Gods, he had no time for Wonder Woman’s other supporting cast or villains. Thus, in the new rebooted DC universe they ended up being rebooted in other author’s books, often in ways that made them far less compatible with Wonder Woman’s own stories. Last I checked, most of them are still twisting in the wind, lacking basic origins and motivations in their new incarnations.

While it’s fantastic that the movie makes people excited about Wonder Woman, I do have to worry that it compounds some of the problems Wonder Woman has. To be clear, that’s not knocking the movie. Most books wouldn’t be negatively impacted by tinkering in adaptations, but DC’s mismanagement has left Wonder Woman’s book uniquely unstable. The movie has Steve and Etta (two major supporting characters) alive in WWI, meaning they’d be absent from any Wonder Woman movies eventually set in modern times. It also uses an origin that’s six years old, that contradicts the one that had been in place since 1941, and is thematically at-odds with the character. There’s room for different interpretations with adaptations of course, but I’m certain that Marston would hate the new origin, and I don’t think the first ever Wonder Woman movie should include something as fundamentally at-odds with her creator’s vision (and the majority of her publication history) as having her powers come from a father.

I haven’t followed the books since Azzarello (really, DC couldn’t have driven me away harder if they’d tried), but from what I’ve gathered Wonder Woman is still Exhibit A for why these decades-old characters should really just be in the Public Domain at this point and not owned by corporations.

This isn’t a story with a happy ending, I’m afraid. It’s the story of how badly this industry has treated its favorite daughter. Perhaps we’ll have to make a happy ending ourselves.
