This year we're taking a look at the rogues of that Amazing Amazon, Wonder Woman. Like before we'll be taking a look at the very start all throughout the month.
Admittedly Von Strom and Fritz aren't the most dynamic and frankly rather generic as far as villains go, but without them we'd have no Wonder Woman.
It was Steve Trevor trying to take down Fritz's stolen plane when he went off course and crashed landed on Paradise Island, thus kicking off the introduction of Princess Diana to Man's World. She'd have more colorful foes, but for the time period two generic Germans were good enough. They didn't have much of a story and no comeuppance but in this case the journey was more important than the destination.
