Wonder Woman 20 Years Later

So what is the future of the Wonder Woman Family like in my head-canon? This is Wonder Woman...20 Years Later.

The Wonder Women
When Diana quit being Wonder Woman, she didn't leave the mantle to one of her successors, but rather to all of her successors. Donna Troy, Cassandra Sandsmark, and Lyta Trevor are The Wonder Women. They represent sisterhood, truth, and justice! Each of them carries one of Diana's signature weapons. Donna uses a shield to protect the innocent from harm. Cassie uses the Lasso of Truth to teach friend and foe alike the power of submission. And Lyta wields a sword and the responsibility of authority. Between the three of them they effectively equal one whole Wonder Woman and make up for each other's shortcomings. Donna is aggressive, but Cassie and Lyta are friendly. Cassie is headstrong, but Donna thinks things out. And Lyta (daughter of Diana and Steve Trevor) is inexperienced and naive, but her sisters have been superheroes for a long time. Each of the girls has a strong connection to Wonder Woman and deals with the mantle being on their shoulders in different ways. Donna feels undeserving of it, Cassie finds it stressful, and Lyta wants to do everything she can to prove why she can be the next Wonder Woman. Together, they fight super villains, evil Gods, and monsters alike!

Queen Diana
Since passing the torch to her successors, Diana has become Queen of The Amazonians and a diplomat among the United Nations. While she hasn't seen combat in many years, her Godly blood keeps her sharp even in her older years. She continues to train alongside her daughter, and assists her husband whenever he battles mythological threats. Diana's bodyguard is Artemis and when she is unsure of her people's direction, she can always seek guidance in her mother Hippolyta who is enjoying her retirement in Malibu.

Steve Trevor & The All-Star Squadron
General Steve Trevor and General Kate Kane organize the new Task Force X, renamed "The All-Star Squadron". His Squad includes both heroes and villains who want to redeem themselves. He is of course Diana's husband and Lyta's father and he tries desperately to spend time with them when he isn't leading droves of costumed meta humans into battle. Some of his usual draft picks include Clayface, Bronze Tiger, Livewire, Ravager, and Starwoman. And unlike Waller's old Squad, Trevor treats his soldiers like people and wants nothing more than to turn them into heroes.

The Villains
During the 20 Year gap Ares-God of War-destroyed the bridge between Mount Olympus and Man's World, preventing the Greek Gods from interacting with humans. He remains the only God to walk among mankind and uses his powers to influence countries into fighting each other. However, The Wonder Women do their best to prevent wars between nations, much to his annoyance. Circe remains a powerful trickster, but has formed a truce with Diana. Circe will be allowed protection from Earth's heroes as long as she stays on Themyscira, but is also required to provide Diana and The Wonder Women with her knowledge of dark magic. She occasionally whips up monsters for the Wonder Women, knowing her deal with Diana protects her. Giganta has reformed from villainy and is part of Steve Trevor's All-Star Squadron, often used to transport troops and as a last-ditch weapon against enemies. Giganta has also been working with Ryan Choi/The Atom on reversing her gigantism powers. And finally The Cheetah, who has spent her days collecting children from African villages that have been ravaged. By sharing her blood, Cheetah transforms children into her Cheetah Cubs and together they travel the jungles and deserts killing corrupt men. While her feud with Diana has diminished, she refuses to let The Wonder Women prevent her from the hunt.
