WONDA MYTHS: Does Wonder Woman Have A Wonder-Man Cousin?

Wonda-Myths

Mythical son of Amazon Queen Antiope, VIRBIUS REX, first appeared, as infant 'Prince Hippolytus', in Wonder Woman, Volume Two, Issue #33 (1989). He is king of Nemi, a hero in the classical Amazon myth...the one we learn in college? He has a GREAT backstory, that shows him married to a hot, forest elemental and fighting in the Trojan War! He is the king of a cool, enchanted forest, full of wild spirits and magic beasts - basically, the AQUAMAN of the woods - a-aand ..he's Wonder Woman's built-in, super-warrior cousin...

So, why have we never seen this badass, real-life mythological hero, in action? Where is he (the action figure, comic book, plastic Ben Cooper Halloween costume, Justice League membership, etc)? When is DC Comics going to put him, BACK in the Wonder-comics?

Is it because he's a dude? Is it because he's married?

Wonder Woman has a Wonder-man cousin--myth ..or not-myth? NOT a myth!

Here's Leandro Lorkalt's Wonder Man, ..re-imagined as Virbius Rex, superheroic protector of World War II Italy!

By Mel Dyer Imagine... Etta Candy, sharp-shooting Texas rancher-girl! Colonel Steve, ex-militaire coming out of World War II! Dr. Minerva, weird, werecat lady scientist and... Siegfried the Viking, dragon-slaying hero of German myth! Now, imagine them joining William Moulton Marston's Wonder Woman ..and over three-thousand savage, half-naked AMAZONS, ..red-hot from the Amazing Amazon's wild, time-leaping, empire-toppling adventures in the Golden Age of COMICS!

Well, it didn't happen, ..but t hat is the kind of excitement, which the Michael W. Conrad/Becky Cloonan run - electrified by editor Brittany Holzherr, ..artists Travis Moore, Terry Dodson, Skylar Partridge, Amancay Nahuelpan, Tamara Bonvillain, Pat Brosseau and others ..s et the stage for in mid-2021!
