She would still be vulnrable, as she's a flesh and blood human in every way that counts. The real reason that it wouldn't work is that it's based on sexual attraction, and Wonder Woman is, usually, straight.
Given that Amazon courting rituals were stated earlier to include things like gladiatorial combat, I'm imagining a frazzled looking Queen Bee staggering into her office and telling her secretary: "Write it down: Do not use pheromones on Amazons!"
 
Um, in DC there IS actual proof of said Abrahamic god.
There's proof that Constantine knows; proof the men on the street have? Nope.

Remember the whole episode of Zatanna gibbering when she figured out that Constantine killed Gabriel and cut his wings off for being an unmitigated raping prick? Yeah, even with the whole proof thing - the people who worship Abrahamic god are better off worshiping the old gods since IF the Abrahamic god is still in existence he lets his servants run around being d-bags of the highest order.
 
I know which one I'd be willing to believe in / worship.
There will be a revival of Kahndaqi pantheism, but it will take at least a generation before it's of a significant size and will probably end up looking like certain types of South American Christianity, where older figures are incorporated into more modern traditions.

Kal-El wasn't with them because he wanted to spend more time in Supertown. Those are the real Justice Leaguers. The League is perfectly capable of defeating Apokoliptians in anything other than totally overwhelming number or Darkseid.
 
Is Teth Adom immortal? Because that would make things interesting in the grand scheme of things. "Immortal God King" versus just "Powerful Metahuman Dictator' difference.
 
*shrug* Abrahamic god with no actual proof who demands you pray five times a day amongst other very irritating things or we have these other gods who we have actual proof they exist because they kinda empower the immortal badass that is the leader of our country.

There's a Bar Owner in Los Angeles who can tell you all about the Abrahamic God, just don't piss him off.

But to be fair, that guy is kinda biased, he's got a boatload of daddy-issues.

I think he'd be Level 1 Immortal. He doesn't age and is remarkably resilient to damage and disease. He can still die though.

Not in Universe 16. Lucifer is.. busy.
 
Queen Bee probably wants to do her pheromone thing on Adom, but, you know, with the whole "empowered by ancient gods" thing it probably won't work.

Queen Bee: *sitting under a heat lamp and fanning herself toward Adom to try and maximize the pheromone power* Greetings, oh Mighty One. I am sooo sorry of this misunderstanding.

Adom: ...

Queen Bee: Ehehe... not working?

Adom: First of all, I am empowered by the Gods themselves. Second, my heart belongs only to my long-dead wife, who's beauty a witch like yourself could never dream to possess.

Queen Bee: Figures, the "most men" part apparently means "unmarried".

Adom: Thirdly, you are an idiotic, treacherous, and foul-smelling despot. I would sooner vomit my guts out than obey you and I'd sooner kill you with my bare hands than do that. Fourthly... what did you call it?

Paul: "Bat Anti-Pheromone Spray." it's a spray that neutralizes pheromones.

Diana: It smells like Old Spice.

Adom: Yes, that stuff. It has rendered your pheromone laced body odor quite ineffective. So let's get with the truth lassoing.

Queen Bee: Gah! Deodorant! One my numerous logical weaknesses! Right after telephones and nose plugs. And after all the trouble I went through to outlaw the stuff...

Bodyguard: *cough* Please depose her. *wheeze*

Queen Bee: Grrr...

Looking it up online, all the versions of him I see are listed as immortal, not aging as long as they are in their powered form.

So it turns out Queen Bee is innocent what happens?
Adom gets a bit of healthy self-doubt, and they come to at least a grudging agreement to leave each other be for now. Plus, Queen Bee probably sends Adom a message if/when she finds out who tried to frame her; he'll probably want Wonder Woman or someone with similar abilities to confirm it, but after that whoever it is gets a divinely empowered fist through the head.

Ha!

Now I can't stop imagining an A Team grouping of the Old Spice Guys (Terry Crews, Isaiah Mustafah, and Bruce Campbell) and them already standing over a tied up and knocked out Queen Bee when Adom, WW, and OL show up.
 
Adom's very existence kind of blows monotheistic theology out of the water, though. Their god is not the only god, nor does his propaganda really stack up to Teth "I can body countries" Adom.
On the other hand, all-powerful omnipresent, omniscient gods who move in mysterious ways look a lot more reasonable when you can compare Zeus and Teth Adom to Superman. They already know there are super-powered aliens, and magic aliens.

Why does a god worth worshipping need a spaceship?

I mean, there are still plenty of reasons to go with other gods, but it's not like there's no way for people to worship YHWH or whoever the local Eru Ilúvatar impersonator is.
 
So what's the relationship between Lucifer, Satanus, and the First of the Fallen?

The First of the Fallen is exactly how it sounds; the first thing Yahweh made, the being who fell to Hell before there was a Heaven to fall from or a Hell to fall to.

Lucifer is the second most powerful archangel, imbued with infinite will just as Michael contains infinite power. (Yes, that does mean Lucifer is on the Do-Not-Recruit list for the GLC, as a Green ring would blow up from overload the moment it touched him.) When Lucifer fell, the First was already there. Lucifer is more powerful, and is one of only two beings to possess infinite will. (The other being Yahweh.) But while the First is pretty much evil incarnate, Lucifer wants only one thing: Freedom.

Satanus, as mentioned earlier, is the half-demon son of the wizard Shazam, and brother of Blaze. Powerful, yes, and knowledgeable too, but no match for even the First, let alone Lucifer.
 
a tradition when it comes to infiltrating Apokolips and getting away relatively scott free(I totally didn't mean to make that pun).

Wow! I feel as embarrassed for not noticing that as I did when Batman Forever had to spell out the Riddler's name after years of fandom. God am I dense. Any other obvious name gimmicks I should know about? (outside of Mr. Napier's favorite dame)
