A Fall Of A Heroine: Wondra
: Recent interpretations suggest Wondra’s actions weren't entirely selfless. A hidden desire for power and recognition began to influence her calculated "heroic" deeds.
She spent years carrying the weight of a thousand suns, mending horizons and stitching together broken nations with hands that eventually began to shake. The world loved the savior, but they feared the woman who grew tired.

It merely waits for a new storyteller to pick up the broken chain and forge something new from the wreckage.
In superhero deconstruction, the "fall" is often precipitated by a failure. Perhaps Wondra fails to save a loved one, or perhaps her methods inadvertently cause collateral damage. The genre of the "Fall of a Heroine" thrives on the consequence of action. It forces the audience to confront the reality that even the best intentions can lead to ruin.
