Who is your favorite Amazon that isn’t Wonder Woman?
This goes back and forth for me but Artemis is definitely a top contender. Yora Flor is on that list but I think she is too new for me to place her on the top, at this point of time. Once we get more stories with her she will quickly rise. Hippolyta is also a top contender but she kind of flip flops for me. For example, she is great in Justice League but then I think back to her in the late 60s and how Diana lost her powers…
Also, I think all 3 of these characters might be excluded as they are or were Wonder Woman at one point in time, even if it was a possible future.
@D4RK5TARZ Honestly, I don’t think I can answer this question! Once upon a (various) times I could’ve said any of them, BUT I’ve always liked Hippolyta (2nd to Diana, for the longest), so I’d prbly go with her…I do really like Artemis and Donna Troy, tho, and it’s possiblyyy no secret I’m a pretty big Yara Flor fan, lol, so I basically still can’t choose.
I think I would also have to go with Artemis. I feel like she’s probably the most popular other Amazon in the comics and other media. I know I still remember her portrayed by Rosario Dawson in the '09 animated movie.
Yara is quickly becoming a new favorite of mine too.
Favorite Amazon…Hmm, it differs a fair bit from moment to moment.
In the golden age I really enjoyed Mala in her role as Dianas best friend and as the one championing Reform Island and efforts to rehabilitate criminals, convincing them to use their talents to better the world.
From that period I also was quite fond of Queen Astra the ruler of planet Infanta and her whole schtick of ruling a world of eternal toddler Amazons who rescues abandoned babies to raise on their home planet.
Nubia is a big favorite of mine. I liked the character back in the Bronze era where she was decked out in knightly armor and ruled Slaughter Island. Seeing her in the modern day between the OGN where shes a girl raised in America and striving to use her powers for good, and her mini series where she has become queen of the Amazons has only cemented that opinion for me.
Akila from post crisis was a big favorite of mine. An Amazon scientist from Bana Mighdall who creates her own power armor to use as the champion and defender of her people? Whats not to love about that?
