This keeps all of the obvious comic book appeal of an island populated entirely by women, but it avoids the sometimes politically suspect and frankly tiresome "Gender War" elements that invariable come about when your main character is from a race of Amazons with lots of strange prejudices against men as a gender.

I also had an idea for a sort of ridiculously macho male villain called REAL MAN, who is sort of a super-chauvinist version of Superman and whose motivation for fighting Glory is that (a) Women are no goddamn good, and (b) she should be home fixing some guy his supper.
What I envisage is someone.. possibly her mother, or possibly some grateful alien race... making Glory a gift of something called the DIAMOND CHARIOT.
