this set is centered around the one member of dc's trinity to not yet have a signature set built around her and inspired by the glory that is asm, it's also mostly dc's mystics and monsters . subthemes include wonder woman allies/enemies, jla, jsa, infinity inc, villainy inc, jl dark, league of ancients, olympians (chases) and dc's mystic niche. this set is also my first attempt at the new prime format and the new pink powers.

a big part of this set is a new amazon ta, which frankly should have been around from the beginning. it uses the ww iconography for it's symbol and does this:
Amazon: A character using the Amazon team ability modifies their defense +2 when attacked with a range combat attack.
this is obviously representative of the bracelets ubiquitous to themyscira that lets them deflect incoming attacks, while freeing up defense tracks so that the (typically) bruiser dials don't have to have opening soft defenses. I specifically worded it as a modifier so that it could stack with existing es/d (capped by rule of 3) in case someone's dial showcased them being exceptionally dodgy vs range

I think it fitting to kick off my dials with wonder woman. while we've had plenty of wonder women recently, you can't have a wonder woman set without her, plus this is a signature version of the character (a la superman and batman's set) and we really don't have many 150+ dianas in the game that aren't variants (flashpoint, white lantern, violet lantern, kingdom come). there's only 2, the woefully rare convention exclusive and the good ol' arkham beastmode version. so I felt there was a niche for a solid accessable 200pter. plus, hey, split dial
Blessed By Hermes
Golden Girdle of Gaea
Blessed By Demeter Lasso of Truth: Wonder Woman can use Incapacitate as if she had a range of 6 and Targeting: OO>. When she successfully uses Incapacitate she may place her target into an adjacent square. Adjacent opposing characters may not use Shape Change or Perplex.
Favored By the gods
Feet of Clay Champion of Themyscira: Wonder Woman can use Toughness and Combat Reflexes
Princess Diana
Athena's Gift
Eyes of the Hunter
diana's top dial is self-explanatory in its utility, though there are only 2 existing diana dials that have any hss, and none are top dial (and yes, she actually does have super speed ). mid-dial (and where her split begins), she's a more unique representation, becoming a fantastic tie-up/beater that can keep pulling opponents near her

today i'm showcasing the common prime, an alternate version of wonder woman when diana lost the mantle to artemis in "the challenge of artemis" story arc and subsequent tie-ins with the jla back in the mid '90s. despite losing the mantle (and lasso), she kept heroing as simply diana and even lead the jla during this time.

Bullets and Bracelets: Wonder Woman can use Super Senses when targeted with a range combat attack.
Protecting Boston
Feint
Back Off Still Have Bracelets: Diana can use Defend, Invulnerability and Energy Shield/Deflection
Amazon Warrior
JLA Gauntlet of Atlas: Diana can use Close Combat Expert and Precision Strike
her prime status is due to her fantastic defense vs range. the es/d in her sp stacks nicely with her amazons ta (giving her a capped +3 even if she gets modified down a -1) on top of her ss roll and invuln. her quake and side step ensures opponents won't be able to stay based on her. end dial she gets to hit her hardest thanks to the plot device - er - gauntlets of atlas to finish the job. and for bonus easter egg, her point value is the same as the year she was running around in this get-up, '95.

Wonder Woman suffers from being an iconic character without much of a well-known supporting cast or rogues gallery. Can't see it being profitable enough for NECA to actually make it, but cool idea.

yeah she's the redheaded stepchild of the trinity. most of her clout is based on the fact that she's already had it. fortunately azzarello's run on her book is really good. I agree that it faces a marketability stumbling block, so I intentionally geared this set like ams, which was as much (if not more) about marvel's mystics and monsters so while this set is flagshipped ww, it's as much filled w/ dc's mystics and a good smattering of mainstream kws like justice league and justice society. and if that's not enough, ww054 will ensure the set sells
thanks for the feedback, I post daily, so be sure to come back tomorrow
Twin Lassos: Wonder Girls can use Plasticity. When Wonder Girls use the Duo Attack ability to target an opposing character, they can use Telekinesis or Incapacitate with a range of 6 as a free action instead of one or both attacks.
Dive Right In
Girl Power Truth or Lightning: Whenever Wonder Girls hits an opposing character with Incapacitate the target of the attack must choose one: all of their powers and abilities are countered or they take 2 unavoidable damage.
Battling Back to Back
Titaness and Demigoddess
Daughters of Myth
Titans Together
Amazons
Four Bracelets
Nexus Point of the Multiverse
Cassie
Donna
Sorority of Battle
a solid beater up top with some nice tricks up their sleeves, the girls really shine in their giving them options for their 2 duo attacks, especially when their sp shows up, giving a big boost to their incap. this is to represent the two distinct lassos at their disposal. while donna's is a copy of diana's lasso of truth, cassie got her lasso from ares with it's much more offensive applications (especially on a target with 2 action tokens). the split dial starts them off on their team-player click, granting both a defensive and offensive boost to their allies

Invasion
Invasion Minion: Sisterhood: When Amazon Warrior is within 8 squares of a friendly character with the Amazon keyword, she is a Wildcard, but can only copy team abilities from characters with the Amazon keyword.
Gladius
Hippolyta's Orders
Girded for Battle
Man's World
Spear
i'm a fan of duo dials, particularly on minions and this set offers a close and a range option for amazonian warriors. their minion ability will give them lots of options, both in the set and out of it, since amazons have appeared on jla, jsa and titans teams. all of which are great options for generics. speaking of jsa:
Queen of Themyscira: Hippolyta can use Leadership. Friendly characters with the Amazon keyword can use the Amazon team ability.
Lead From the Front
To Arms!
Amazons, Attack!
Unleashed
Mistress of the Sword
Favored of Aphrodite
Amazon Purple Ray Rejuvenation
Sisters, Unite!
Hippolyta's is a great way to proliferate the amazon ta to older figs, giving them a big defensive boost. additionally her empower lets her allies punch a bit harder. on her own, she's a good secondary attacker for her points
some fun set internal line-ups with amazons are:
ww015a wonder woman 200
ww100 wonder girls 196
total 396
speaking of jsa, here's an updated wildcat, making full use of the new pink powers:

Beautiful Assistant: Inza Nelson is a wildcard but can only copy team abilities possessed by friendly characters named Dr. Fate. When Inza Nelson is adjacent to a friendly character named Dr. Fate they both modify their defense value +1 if not already modified by this effect. Prepare Spell: Inza Nelson can use Enhancement. Give her a free action. A friendly adjacent character named Dr. Fate can be given a power action to use the duo attack ability this turn. After actions resolve give Inza Nelson an action token.
Conjure
Wards
Servant of Order
as you can see, inza is a great boon to a dr fate piece, and a decent support piece otherwise

dr fate comes in with plenty of power, especially when backed up by inza. their synergy together should ensure that they're 200pts well spent

really like the creativity of this, esp. when someone puts in the work on a whole set.
looking forward to your atlantis dials, preacher, steve trevor and of course the set seller, 054
thank you for your kind words. stay tuned for more dials and check out my other sets while your at it

thanks, I really like my wildcat dial too, I figure ted could pull off the all pink (much to his chagrin ) and the traited cce just says "wildcat" to me since he's, well, dc's close combat expert
artemis is even referenced in my diana prime , I thought about it and passed on her because her jl dial is still pretty awesome and I admittedly focused hard on the mystics secondary theme and the tangential themes from the amazons that I did include. plus the old jl dial can always reap the benefit of my hippolyta dial's
dr fate makes a perfect segue from the jsa subtheme to the next one, infinity inc, because his prime variant is a member of both teams. but first, like with original dr fate, we'll begin with his potent paramour:
Ill-Fated Lovers: When Fury is adjacent to a friendly character named Hector Hall, both characters modify their attack values +1 if not already modified by this effect.
Enhanced Speed
Warrior
You'll Need More Than That
Amazon
My Mother's Daughter
Second Generation Heroine
Temper
the last time we saw lyta was way back in cosmic justice and then unfortunately only in her monstrous form empowered by the *ahem* kindly ones. here, in her classic infinity inc regalia, lyta packs a solid punch backed up by two defensive TAs. her is called ill-fated both as a reference to the rough go she and hector had (especially their ultimate, well, fate) and to the unfortunate cost of being adjacent to the forthcoming hector dial...

firstly, the aforementioned cost of lyta hanging next to hector is either opting not to use his sweet pw or to accept marital collateral damage. fortunately lyta's a good hitter down most of her dial. now for the elephant in the room, hector's prime status comes directly from his 's major nerf of lots of abilities on adjacent opposing characters. keep in mind it even nerfs charge and close hss (because those attacks are free actions, after all ). his invincible, pc and mystics ta will help him to survive that big target on his forehead. his top-dial p/t lets him slip into the best position to base the most (or best option) opposition while his subsequent plasticity will keep those poor suckers stuck in place. finally, he can always cut loose with that pw on all those opponents stuck next to him.
