-There are, of course, other characters who really, really shouldn't be presented too darkly; Wonder Woman certainly can have an edge, but she, also, is supposed to be an example to the world, and being too dark does not help this.-

People note that she's a warrior, but miss that: 1) Originally, she never used a sword (and I dislike it's addition), because she fought to subdue, and 2) she is a diplomat/ambassador.

She should be the first to talk and one of the big 3 that talks down and reforms foes the most. Sure, she's from a culture that fights and fighting is something she even enjoys, but she's not Xena with powers, let alone some of her darker versions.

Which is about how a lot of people put Nietzsche's Ubermensch onto Superman, and that's really not him, he's much more a celebration of Kantian ethics.
