>>113194856I see your point. Though I kind of like how in Morrison's Earth One where the Amazons are able to reproduce with super science artificial insemination and Hippolyta reverse engineered Hercules sperm.
Under certain circumstances I may be able to get behind Hercules being her dad by rape, though it would need to be handled delicately.
Kaniger's early silver age origin where Diana was born preexile and Hippolyta had a lover, Theno also isn't bad.
I also used to play around with the fanfic idea if you wanted to keep Hippolyta as golden age WW but remove the time travel element, you could make Ted Grant the father.
Another idea I've had would be to make her a virgin birth with the goddesses impregnate hippolyta. Or you could make one of the goddesses take a androgynous form to do so.
I also remember WML flirting with the idea the Diana Trevor had been pregnant when she crashed on the island and as she was dying the amazons transferred baby Diana into Hippolyta's womb?
But I respect your position. The Clay origin is a nice call back to mythology where the first human were made out of clay, as well as the myth of Galatea. It's perfectly good. But you also have bad writers who don'y understand it and think of her as less human because of it.
As long as she's the princess of the Amazons of Themyscira, I can be negotiable with how she's conceived.
