I want to thank Lilith Langtree for creating the Comic Retcon Universe. This story is a re visioning of Captain Marvel.

As I flew to the dark side of the Moon, I felt a shift in my apparel. As I looked at my legs, I saw my suntan pantyhose become white tights and my slippers become boots. As I looked at my arms, they were encased in a tight fitting long sleeved top with yellow arm bands and my skirt rolled up under my yellow belt.

"SAY WHAT?"

I heard Apollo chuckle,HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR SPACE APPAREL?

"Space apparel? I look like every man's wet dream!"

DID YOU NOT BEFORE?

"Yes, but in the dress, I at least looked like a cheerleader! Now I look like I'm ready to bed some man!"

ALL OF THE GODDESSES KNOW YOUR PLIGHT.

"But can they get pregnant from some randy cad who will not take 'NO' for an answer?"

YOUR SELF IMAGE WILL DETERMINE HOW OTHERS SEE YOU.

"Meaning that if I see myself as a cheerleader or a Playboy bunny, then others will react, accordingly?"
.
YES, SEE YOURSELF AS A COMPETENT YOUNG WOMAN AND ONLY THE ONES LIKE SIVANA WILL STILL TREAT YOU AS LESS.

I flew on to the dark side of the Moon as I pondered what Apollo had said to me. Like Zeus, Apollo had sired many children among mortal women, so was a bit of a womanizer. But he also knew the Olympian goddesses who had bestowed upon me their powers.

As a goddess, they could easily appear as young or as old as they chose, but Aphrodite and Artemis were renown for their beauty. Aphrodite is the embodiment of Love in all of it's forms, and as such is also the sexiest goddess.

But Artemis is virgin goddess who many men drool over since she wears such provocative clothing as the Huntress. Wearing a gown that leaves her legs bare, she looks like a cheerleader. But funny thing is that the goddess Athena in wearing battle armor does not evoke such a response.

Then my self image began to change as Hera spoke to me,Ah! I SEE THAT THE CHAMPION HAS BEEN PONDERING UPON HER SELF IMAGE. THAT IS VERY GOOD.

"What? Are all of the Olympians going to be chatting with me?"
I joked.

I could sense the humor behind the stern warning,DO NOT TRIFLE WITH US, CHAMPION. WE ARE NOT TOLERANT OF DISRESPECT.

"What will you do. spank me?"

Then I heard her laugh,GAEA IS RIGHT! YOU ARE MORE THAN WORTHY TO BE THE CHAMPION.

"Thank you, but why the visit?"

I HAVE COME TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR SELF IMAGE. BUT I SEE THAT YOU HAVE NO NEED FOR MY HELP. AS FOR MY ATTITUDE, TOO MANY RECENT MORTALS HAVE SHOWN DISRESPECT. I HAD TO ASSURE MYSELF THAT YOU WERE STILL PURE OF HEART AND NOT CORRUPTED BY THE MORTAL WORLD.

"Fat chance with Unca Dudley's teachings."

HE IS A MOST WORTHY WIZARD. HE HAS TAUGHT YOU WELL.

[-][+][-]
I felt much better now that Hera had spoken to me. I no longer saw myself as some sex symbol, now I saw myself as a woman. Oh, I knew that Sivana would still drool over seeing me, but Emil treated me with respect.

I intended to use him as my Science Adviser instead of my first choice, Sivana. How such a gifted mind could also harbor such vile thoughts was beyond me. He had created a persona of a suave and debonair man of the world such as James Bond or Remington Steele, but in reality, he was a letch of the worst sort.

Rounding the Moon's day side, I was soon assaulted with a storm of meteors aimed like daggers at me.

"See how you like iron, bitch!"

"Sorry, but I've had my recommended daily intake," I retorted as I sent them back to him with enough power to heat them into molten slag.

He tried to avoid the slag shower, but his solar powered armor was too slow. I heard a sizzling sound over his audio sensors as he was encased in molten metal, "I'm trapped, I can't get free! If I can't recharge my suit's batteries, I will die!" he exclaimed.

"If I take you into the sunlight, can you recharge?"

"If in the Earth's atmosphere, yes."

I grabbed him and rocketed back to Earth, fully expecting him to attack me as soon as he could and I was not disappointed. As soon as we were over the Atlantic Ocean, he tried to heat the slag up and encase me in it, but I dropped him only to hear him shriek in pain as the slag burnt away his costume, leaving him in only his kevlar bodysuit. I saw him hit the ocean near Paradise Island and a young brunette in a Grecian style dress pull him ashore.

"Why did you hurt him?"

"He is an evil man who detests women as anything but sex objects."

"Then why bring him here to Paradise Island, home of the Amazons?"

"I did not know that this place existed. I thought that it was a myth."

"We exist in Man's World, but are not a part of it."

"If so, then why be here at all?"

"We are here to guard the gateway to a prison that houses monsters that if freed would terrorize Man's World."

"Then let me take him away from here before he can cause you harm."

"No, by our custom, we must tend to his injuries."

"But according to Myth, no man may set foot on Paradise Island, Lest the Gift to the Amazons be taken away."\r

"That is true, but we are on the Island of Healing, not Themyscira, Paradise Island."

"Be careful of him. His kevlar suit might still hold surprises."

"Can you see if that is so?"

I looked at him and my eyes saw into the finest detail of the weave. I saw that the suit was for protection, only. I have Microscopic Vision. What other gifts of Sight do I have?

YOU EYES SHALL NOT BE BLINDED. YOU SHALL SEE IN DARKEST NIGHT AND THROUGH DENSEST FOG> YOU SHALL SEE AS FAR AS THE HEAVENS AND SEE UNTO THE SMALLEST DETAIL,announced Zeus.

"Thank you Father Zeus."

The amazon looked at me in wonder, "You just spoke with the King of the Gods of Olympus. Who are you?"

"My name is Queen Thunder: Champion of Gaea."

She bowed before me, "Welcome to the home of the Amazons. I am Princess Diana, daughter of Hippolyta."

"Do you not have a sister?"

"Yes, Drusilla."

"Now that I'm here will you two visit Man's World?"

"If it is decreed."

Then Diana began to tend to Sivana, carefully removing his kevlar suit to reveal skin tone Speedos swim trunks, making him look like a gelded male mannequin. As she tended to him, a younger version of Diana approached.

"Sis, Mother just got Word from Athena."

"What does Mother want?"

As soon as this MAN is well, we are to follow our sister Amazon to Man's World and become Champions of Peace."

"You mean me?"

"Yes, you."

"But I'm not an Amazon!"

"As Gaea's Champion, you are one of us."

I bowed to them, "I am honored to be an Amazon. But how will you get to the out side world?"

Then I aw a beautiful clear plane shaped like a bird land by them, "Our Chariot to MAN'S WORLD, built by Hephestus, Himself," informed Drusilla.

"According to Myth, both of you are Blessed by the Olympian gods with gifts. Is that true?"

Diana spoke up, "Yes, the Myth is true, but our strength is as great as Myth tells."

"What will you wear as Champions?"

Diana spun around and her Grecian dress and sandals morphed into a red and blue leotard with matching boots and suntan hose, "Why those colors and why the hose?"

"We will head to the Land of the Eagle where these colors have meaning. As for my legs encasement, I saw yours and wanted to try it."

"You like?"

"The encasement is appealing in many ways. Why do you wear them?"

"Same as you."

Then Drusilla spoke up, What about me?"

"Go ahead, Sister. Show us your Champions garb," laughed Diana.

Drusilla spun and like Diana, was garbed in a patriotic outfit, but her's was a red leotard with a red skirt and boots. Like Diana, she wore hose and sported a silver glowing lasso and matching bracelets.

"Why the bracelets and lasso?"

"The lasso is to control others and to send us elsewhere quickly. The bracelets are for protection," said Diana.

Then Sivana awoke and called his battlesuit to him, "Ha! Like any female, you leave my weapons near by!"

I rocketed up and stripped him of his armor and Kevlar, "You have proven yourself to be an animal. Now let the Judgment of GAEA be done!"

"NOOOOO!"

His body shrunk into a scrawny version of his former body, "The drugs that made you who you were are now gone. Live with the body you were born with.
