Writing and worldbuilding idea - Arthurian inspired Wonder Woman

Introduction:

So, I had the idea of writing about an Arthurian Inspired Wonder Woman, drawing inspiration from the Celtic folklore, early medieval history, Welsh and Irish mythology, and Christian theology that form the Arthurian Mythos and using it to expand concepts of sorts.

I just want to state that these are all very rough idea's and nothing is finalised, and I am happy to hear an critiques in regards to the idea's or concepts here, and to hear alternatives anyone may have.

Main idea:

Ok, the rough idea so far that this Arthurian Wonder Woman is the daughter of Morgan Le fey who grew up on Avalon, taking inspiration from some early depictions of Morrigan that portray her in a more positive light, such as Vita Merlini (circa 1150) by Geoffrey of Monmouth.

This daughter, Amara(unfading) leaves the island to see the world beyond and becomes some what disillusioned with our modern world due to all it's issues along with this lack of heroism? the apparent victory of evil cold, where this corrupt corporate structures and systemic oppression has won. An order of might makes right and the "natural order" rules. Where all the magic and mysticism, the weird and wonderous of the world both scientific and magical has been driven out or used for these dark forces ends. Where the world is dominated and controlled by several ancient illuminate type organisations.

In response to the words she finds, she effectively establishing a secret organisation to combat the wrongs of the world. A successor of the knights of Camelot but in the shadows. Providence. A world wide terrorist group to some, other resistance group, to establish a utopian world ruled by justice, honour, and equality, rather than sheer military might. Basically something like Cobra for Example vs Hydra, young conspiracy vs old conspiracy.

I had the idea that as the leader of the group, she would be called the sovereign, and would have a council of 13 members leading it including herself, representing Arthur and the Round tables most prominent members.

Amara ideas:

So I just wanted to say before I go any further that YesterdayHiccup suggested the name Dame Amara for this fictional daughter of Morgan Le fey when I asked on the r/Superhero_Ideas for any name suggestion for a Medieval/Arthurian Wonder Woman type character. So thank you YesterdayHiccup.

I was thinking of making the name of the daughter Morgan Amara and her superhero name besides being called the sovereign is Dame Amara. Dame due to it's several meaning across several cultures and it's usage across mythology such as the French usage of Dame du Lac to describe the lady of the lake lake, And Amara for much of the same reasons with several different meanings across different cultures and faith such as "unfading" or "everlasting" in Greek.

With Dame being this version of Wonder Woman title and being a title being held by several women before Amara, Including at least Morrigan and Nimue/Viviane. That Amara as the dame is acting as the literal and symbolic bridge between the mortal world of men and the mystical realm of magic. Combining elements of King Arthur and lady of the Lake.

Her parentage, IDK? I had the thought of Maybe Arthur? making Mordred's mother Morgause, not Morrigan. A literal child of the fae and humans. Perhaps a Celtic god is an option.

Question: do any of the mythological pantheon possesses equivalent deities and or similar beings to the Lady of the Lake from Arthurian Mythology?

Any name suggestion for a Medieval/Arthurian Wonder Woman type character?

The idea behind is to make her the daughter of Morgan Le fey who grew up on Avalon and eventually left the island to see our world, Becoming some what disillusioned with the 21st century and establishing a secret organisation to combat the wrongs of the world. I had the thought as the leader of the group, she would be called the sovereign, But I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for any names as apart of her superhero identity? I was thinking perhaps the Forever Knight as an option?

UNSC hover tank prototype?

Hi sorry to bother this sub but age's ago I remember reading something about the UNSC developing prototype hover tanks in the 25th? Century. As apart of this experimental project that tried to replace the Scorpions but failed due to technical difficulties.

I tried finding where I read about it but I had little luck. I just wanted to ask if that is a thing or am I just making it up in my head?

What are the benefits and weakness of state security and intelligence under the wing of a dedicated Ministry?

I'm trying to plan out and structure out my human interstellar space civilisation and specifically I'm planning out the nations security and intelligence. The nations in questions leans authoritarian and I was thinking about having a ministry of state security, which lead to wonder what where some of benefits and weakness of state security and intelligence under the wing of a dedicated Ministry? As seen with the likes of the Soviet Union, China and East Germany? and how does that model contrast some nations more decentralised state security and intelligence agencies.

Do you think Willow Schnee could work as the main character in an SI/OC fanfic story?

Because I feel like we know a whole lot and just about nothing about Willow as a character, and these massive gaps in her current lore could leads to interesting worldbuilding. A Willow SI/OC could wreck merry havoc on the timeline, for all manner of interesting effects and due to her largely being a blank slate we know about the Schnee Semblance, so there's no surprise there with what she *could* be capable of. Like, their is an option such as her becoming the Winter Maiden instead of Winter, or to actually arm the Atlesian military with effective equipment.

How does everyone feel about the depiction of pre-fall Rapture as seen during burial at sea?

Because personally apart of me love's it and find one of the most interesting and beautiful part's of the DLC and the franchise, while another part of me feels like it's not quite right. In the sense that it way to clean and well maintained for 1958, just before the Rapture Civil war.

Like, Market street as seen with the image above is an area of Rapture designed middle to upper-class citizens and would much more constituently well maintained unlike somewhere such as Paupers Drop, but from the previous games and particularly the books I always got the feeling/vibe that even in the nicest place's in Rapture was starting to crack at the seems and decline as apart of the greater decline of Rapture, as seen with the Kashmir. That even the well to do's in Rapture, arguably Ryan's loyalists, are beginning to feel the pressure of his Great chain around their necks and wrists.

I feel like maybe their should of had some of the lights flickering outside or even inside, maybe a wet floor sign, a needle or two scattered about. What we see of Rapture in Burial at sea feels like What Rapture would look like from 1948 to 1952, where the city is new, well maintained at it's peak, not 1958 Rapture that's one bad day from falling in on itself.

But this is just my opinion and I would love to hear all of yours.

What fictional characters would say are similar to Emma?

I would say the most recent character that is similar to Emma would be domina from overwatch for obvious reasons, I also think a case could be made that Veronica Cale from DC Comics is very similar to Emma, but more so Emma during her villainous era.

(I don't know if this is the right flair but let's give this the old college try.)

I was curious as was wondering what where some of benefits and weakness of state security and intelligence under the wing of a dedicated Ministry?

I wouldn't mind any where both worlds interact, like a portal opens that connects the with each other, but I'm fine with whatever.

What would a theoretical Replika-human hybrid look like?

I recently saw Joetastics Family AU artwork depicting Ariane and Elster happily together with three Replika-human hybrid children, which got me thinking; what would a theoretical Replika-human hybrid look like? In general I mean, beyond Elster and Ariane. Like, what traits would they inherit from each respective parent? And how would that work beyond just Bioresonance?

If given the chance, how would you change the Matriarchs character and relationship to Wonder Women as a villain?

Now, I know she's a relatively new character and theirs always some growing pains when a new character is introduced, but from what's I've seen of her and how other's described her on this sub, I've been rather unimpressed with her. Like, she feels a bit too much like an overpowered OC? if that makes sense? also, she's meant to be a villain for Lizzy but I feel like she interacts with Wonder Women more than Lizzy.

Anyway, In regards to re-doing the Matriarch, would she work a bit better if she was Isadore "Izzy" Cale? Because we don't know who her father is so you could easily insert the father into that role, and from the research I've conducted, she hasn't been used that much. You could have her continuing the family tradition of being a rival to Wonder Women, perhaps even have her developing a hatred for Wonder Women and Amazonians after a conflict with Veronica leaves Veronica dead.

But anyway, this is just an idea.

If Emma got a Amalgam comics equivalent, who would you want her to be combined with?

Like, I think Killer Frost or Ice could work well, particularly Ice because you could combine her friends Fire with Jean Grey.

Though villain wise, Veronica Cale would be a fun choice to combine with Emma.

I've recently started a re-watch of the Iron man armoured adventures and the Iron monger design for the show feels like something I was expecting to see stomping around Mantle and Atlas.

Apologies if this sort of topic but the Iron Monger from the Iron man armoured adventures feels something Atlas should of had in some form. Like, it's like the prefect in-between the smaller Paladin mechs and the massive Colossus mech (standing around 30-feet tall,) I could defiantly see this bad boy marching down the streets of mantle or guarding key Atlesian governmental and military facilities (Along with SDC facilities.) Something Like this would give the Atlas military a real bite and help sell that they are the worlds greatest military power.

Let me embrace my inner Ruby for a moment an gush over its weapons and features. in its weapons and features, it includes:

  • Enhanced Strength: The Armor could strike down Iron Man with one punch.
  • Enhanced Durability: It is impervious to attacks. It was unaffected when War Machine delivered its most powerful attack, something that at least Doctor Doom flinched at. It has been modified with an adamantium/vibranium Armor plating, strengthening its massive damage resistance.
  • Flight: It is equipped with jet boots in the feet.
  • Weapons: It is featured with the following weapons:
    • Laser Cannons: It has laser cannons in the arms and right shoulder that could knock back both Iron Man and War Machine even with their force fields up.
    • Rocket Launcher: It has a rocket launcher on the left shoulder.
    • Gatling Guns: The Iron Monger has powerful Gatling guns in both of its arms.
  • Vibrational Shockwave: It can deliver a big shock wave of repulsor energy from its foot by stomping it on the ground.
  • Hologram Projector: It can project the face of the pilot in the centre that can speak to people on the outside. It can also speak to people on the outside without the projector.
  • It has a radio transmitter to speak to the person on the other end.
  • It is mentioned to have an eject function

With the downsides being:

  • Even though the Iron Monger is practically unstoppable, it's controls are too complicated to operate alone. It needs an outside link to a computer system so the pilot could control it more easily. By severing this connection, the Iron Monger is practically rendered useless. In Heavy Mettle, Stane was controlling the mech by himself, so its implied that this flaw has been removed.
  • Because of its massive size and weight, it can topple when one aims for the legs.
  • It isn't protected against Iron Man's Extremis (so you could have Watts and Salem's faction hack into these guys to add more tension.)

I can imagine Ruby gushing over seeing one of these for the first time. Actually, in retrospect, when Imagine Atlas and the rest of the Atlas military, I was imagining it's designs taking inspiration from a mix of IMAA, Killzone, and Halo (apart of feel like I should write an SI/OC where they are inserted into one of the shows already existing characters or go completely originally, just to give the Atlesian Military and Ironwood all the cool toys it would ever want or need.)
