Originally Fury was Hippolyta "Lyta" Trevor, the daughter of the Golden Age Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor; as a result of this lineage, Lyta had all her mother's powers.

 Hippolyta
In Greek myth, Hippolyta, or Hippolyte, was Queen of the Amazons, and sister of Antiope and Penthesilea.
Years later, Hippolyta was accidentally killed by Penthesilea during a stag hunt, and Penthesilea succeeded her as Queen, though she did so amid dissension among the Amazons and the relentless haunting of the Furies, the three goddesses of retribution.
Hippolyta appears in the Wonder Woman comic books as the Queen of Paradise Island (later called Themiscyra), where the Amazons had been exiled three thousand years earlier after allowing themselves to be deceived by Hercules.

In Les Daniels' DC Comics: Sixty Years of the World's Favorite Comic Book Heroes, Mayer is quoted as saying, "Marston's idea of feminine supremacy was the ability to submit to male domination." A greater source of controversy between the two men was the bondage imagery that appeared more and more frequently as the series progressed.
Largely due to Wertham's attacks, the Comics Code Authority was formed to enforce, in the words of the industry, "the most stringent code in existence for any communications media (sic)." With regards to Wonder Woman, the current of feminism that had once run so strong throughout the comic strip vanished for nearly two decades.

 IGN: Comics in Context #25: Byrne, Baum and Bumble
Comic books, like rock music, are thought to be for the young, but as the Baby Boom generation has aged, we have seen many performers in rock who have continued their careers well into middle age.
It also makes sense that a Baby Boom comics writer/artist (and his readers in the same generation) would be interested in the changes in the superhero genre over time as a theme.
There are those at comics companies who claim that the continuity of longrunning series prevents them from understanding new stories, and therefore the continuity should be started over again from scratch, i.e., at the point at which the current Powers That Be took over.

 Wonder Woman - Outcyclopedia
An Amazon from the hidden island of Themiscyra (originally called "Paradise Island"), Wonder Woman is the daughter of the Amazon Queen Hippolyta.
The character was revamped yet again the late 1960s, this time in a storyline which had Diana stripped of her powers and relying instead on martial arts and trading her patriotic gear for a jumpsuit, a transformation reminiscient of the Emma Peel character on the Avengers television series.
Back also were the feminist messages of the first comic stories, as when Wonder Woman informs guest villian Stella Stevens that the Third Reich she serves will never last because it does not value the strength and intelligence of women.

 In Not My So Humble Opinion.
Jiminez looks back at Hippolyta's life not through the reactions of other superheroes, but through the memories of her fellow Amazons, be they allies or rivals.
I referred to Diana earlier as "the current Wonder Woman" and Hippolyta as "the Wonder Woman of the 1940s." But, from both their points of view, it was Diana who originated the identity of Wonder Woman, in the present day.
After Hippolyta's manipulations eventually led to the inadvertent (albeit temporary) death of Diana, the queen adopted the identity of Wonder Woman as penance.

 IGN: Comics in Context #29: Ross's Thunderbolts
Whereas the Superman sequence was a celebration of family life, the Batman sequence centers on the destruction of the idealized family.
The killer of Bruce Wayne's parents, whether it is Joe Chill (in old comics continuity), Jack Napier (in the movie) or some unknown party (since the Zero Hour continuity revision), is a Jungian shadow figure almost entirely covered by literal shadow: at one anonymous and an embodiment of dark forces.
The Green Arrow sequence is green, too, naturally, and Dini's text emphasizes that he is a modern "urban Robin Hood." Green Arrow, like Robin Hood, is a form of the mythic "green man" archetype, the man of nature.
