Looking for some Wonderful input...

So... I've been fiddling around with a couple of characters lately, and I'm just not sure which direction to go... so I'm here once again to see what people think about an homage character I've made.

 

The character is based on Wonder Woman... but the difficulty is that there have been SO many variations of the character in the comics and films.  Back in the old days, she was strong and fast (not anywhere NEAR as powerful as she's being depicted these days), and that was about it.  Easily represented with Street Justice and Super Reflexes.

 

Then, in the 90s or so, she started using a sword and shield, something that's been carried over into the movies.  Sometimes she's depicted just using the sword, sometimes just the shield.  Even these days, she's sometimes depicted using neither, just being strong and fast.

 

So I'm kind of torn.  I'm not sure which version of the character I want to build around.  Ideally, I'd be able to do all of the above... which would mean going Broad Sword/Shield Defense, but much of the time not using EITHER of those sets, relying instead on Pools for attacks and defenses.

 

What do you all think?  Is it viable to make a character based around the pools?  I mean, she'd be missing out on both her Primary and Secondary sets, almost entirely, much of the time.

 

I'm older, so I lean somewhat toward the older, original depiction of the character... but MY version's backstory depicts her as a former shield-maiden from Norse times... which means sword and board.  Just kind of torn.

I'd go with a mix of the incarnations, Broadsword/Invulnerability Brute.

I suppose I could do TWO characters, one with the shield maiden theme, sword and board, and another with the strength and speed...

Doesn't hurt to play two versions. Maybe make one a scrapper the other a tanker?
