The Siggy-matching on CBR Community has been vicious!
For a hot minute, before Cheetah was added to the regular cast of Wonder Woman comic, I thought I'd like to see historical geologist Dr. Julia Kapatelis - next to Etta Candy, the Amazing Amazon's most trusted friend in Man's World - join Etta, Col. Steve and mythical dragonslayer of Germanic mythology, Siegfried ("Siggy"), in the book, ..eventually. I felt her age, skills, life experiences and history with Diana might bring a good balance to the narrative. I also thought it would be marvelous, if Siggy was hot for her, since his last real relationship was with a Valkyrie in an opera, ..and he's really, REALLY quite old - thousands of years old, as it would be...
And Doc Julia's a paleontologist. Like...a scientist, who studies really old things? She's also a mature woman, ..older than Donna Troy.
Sure--eventually, Siggy would probably lose her to Ching or Zeus...
But, for a while, ..the Wonder Woman comic would have had a hot, feminist, age-affirmative Helen-Mirren-Prime-Suspecty thing, with Siggy and Dr. Julia. Siggy would have called Julia 'girl', because, to him, she would have been a girl, ..because he's a way old, immortal Asgardian person. For a while, she might have wondered what the hell she was doing with 'Old Spice'.
Siggy and Doc Julia got two 'likes', when I first posted it, on Twitter, a few days ago. It'll NEVER happen, ..but, Jiggy is officially a 'ship'!
Look alive, kangaliers!
Want to KNOW WONDER WOMAN, the way I know Wonder Woman? You've got to get ALL THE WAY down to the... STAR-SPANGLED PANTIES!
