Concept: Steve Trevor as not a single character, but a code-name the CIA passes to whatever agent it’s sending out to parley with the Amazons this week. If Marston meant for Steve to be a stand-in for Men in general, let’s roll with that – one week he might be earnestly feminist, the next an unabashed sexist, etc. And of course they can all get mowed down like wheat whenever the writer calls for it.

So someone asked me a million years ago to elaborate on what I’d do with a Wonder Woman TV show and I had an entire sub-section planned on “How do you solve a problem like Steve Trevor.”

This is definitely a better solution than anything I had considered.

In fact I’m even tempted to say we should do a whole run where he’s still her love interest despite this. Just, all of him, in aggregate, whichever one happens to be there. If one dies she freaks out and mourns and it’s like a South Park Kenny thing, she’s just back with the next one the next day. Her reaction to him never changes no matter who he is, like she doesn’t even notice he’s a person, he’s just a specific role in her story that could be filled by a sexy lamp if need be. See how uncomfortable we can make Grant Morrison.
