Wonder Woman: 10 Villains Who Should Appear In The Movie

5. First Born

The Villain: Before Zeus and Hera birthed the famous Olympians, they had a nameless son, their First Born, whom they exiled out of fear of a prophecy that said Zeus would be killed by his child. Introduced in the New 52, this raging God has sought all manner of destruction solely as a means to gain his father€™s attention.

Despite conquering nearly all of Earth, Zeus dismissed him, banishing him to the centre of the planet. After slowly being forgotten by everyone, he would spend the next seven thousand years crawling back to the surface where he emerged to claim his revenge.

Why He Should Be In The Film: If the film is to go heavy on the Greek mythology side of things, scarcely any villains would make a better fit than First Born. He's one of the few who can actually physically best Wonder Woman and their familial ties could be an easy way to explore her mythological heritage.

Even amidst all of his savagery, there€™s still a lot of potential for a layered character here. At his core, the First Born just wants his father€™s love. In the comics he gave Zeus the opportunity to reconcile and though his prior actions were indeed savage, it's clear that there's a level of rationality and intelligence within him.

The New 52 is sure to be a huge inspiration for the film and First Born is arguably the best thing to come out of Wonder Woman€™s recent adventures. Hopefully that means he will soon get a chance on the big screen.
