Obviously female heroes (heroines) only. This is based on raw physcial strength, not skill or other non muscular based powers. Feel free to give your reasons why too.

My personal List:

1) Power Girl

2) Wonder Woman

3) Big Barda

4) Supergirl

5) Maxima

I don't know a lot about power girl. Aren't kryptonians from her universe weaker than regular kryptonians?

Diana is stronger than Power Girl. Same with Maxima.

Not in raw power and speed she isn't. When they fought, PG blitzed her. Diana only beat her with superior skill

Yes she is. Diana uses her skills in combat all the time even against characters she clearly outclasses. Witers have never forgotten she is a martial artist. It's not her fault that she doesn't fight like a one dimendional brick. That doesn't make her weaker than PG. Diana also blitzed powergirl from Canada right after saying she was done trying to reason with powergirl. After that she made powergirl look like s........

No, she is not. . Diana was getting owned and only won in the end due to her superior combat skill and amazon training, which Diana herself admitted.

It think the last time Power Girl and Wonder Woman met was in issues 40 & 41 of Volume 3.

"She's at least as strong and as fast as I am"

"She's at least as strong and as fast as I am"

In panel 4 of this page Diana admits that they have equal power.

In the next pages Diana puts on a clinic and deconstructs Power Girl with ease as shown in the scans agent41 posted.

That said, the popular understanding is that Superman and Wonder Woman are #1 & #2 in the DCU as far as raw strength goes.

Maxima should be up there too. Powergirl is not as strong as Wonder Woman, or as fast in combat. And i don't know why some people(not saying you are one of them) think that WW outfighting her opponents instead of overpowering them means she is weaker than A or B.

The issue is how powerful a fictional character is not easily measured and varies greatly depending on the writer. How we get insanely over powered characters like Superboy Prime. I'm roughly judging based on what I've read and those two seem top tier power wise to me.

I should add I don't have an exhaustive knowledge of all the heroines of DC. I have seen Maxima in a couple guest appearances such as "Death of Superman", I'd need more information to judge her relative strength and am open to other nominees.

Wonder Woman #1

I'm actually in the school of thought that Diana is equal to or stronger than Superman.
That placed me in the gross minority but there is no female stronger than she is.
Wonder Woman has faced off against Superman more than once and held her own.
She's battled Gods and monsters of indomitable power and defeated them all.

No Caption Provided

Maxima #2

Thanks for mentioning Maxima guys, I had all but forgotten about her.
She's was one of the JL members to fight off Doomsday before Superman could get on the scene.
She's also give Superman a Run for his money when he denied her advances.
There aren't many who can make that claim . . . But no one is above Diana.

Big Barda #3

Don't know a great deal about Barda but I do know that you have to have some clout to be the
leader of the Furies of Apokolips. I don't have any feats to support this claim
but I'm of the belief that she's on par with Diana, but of course, no one is above Diana.

Rampage #4

When Rampage debuted she put Superman to shame. I'm not sure that she's ever really been a
hero so I'm not sure if this one counts. When you have that kind of showing (even if you're poorly designed)
You go right to the top of the list.

Power Girl #5

Power Girls strength is a matter of writer, as has been discussed in this thread.
I remember a Birds of Prey issue where she's on a flight to the states because she admits that she doesn't have
the speed to fly across the Atlantic Ocean in seconds like Superman. But as I posted above that changed when she
challenged Diana to a fight. I have not idea what her status is now but I'm sure that she's on par with Diana or Kal
These days, but that's my list and I'm sticking to it.

Batman with prep. Give him enough prep, he can become a heroine.

@super-wonder: Big Barda shouldn't even be on the list. Power Girl is way stronger and so is Supergirl...

Haven't Barda and Diana tussled? or is that something that I'm pulling from betwixt the cheeks? Again, I don't know a great deal about Barda but from some reason I'm of the impression that she's in the upper echelons of strength here.
