    Perhaps I need to educate these casual fans on the exact reason why we complain about it. You guys seem to think we just want her to be some celestial powered goddess and think we're a bunch of hungry feat monkeys. That is not the case at all.

    Her power level wouldn't even be up for discussion if the people on the battle forums weren't being so ignorant about it. The insults she recieve about her power level there is ridiculous. You even got people creating one-sided threads just to mock how weak she is. You got people believing that she don't stand a chance against characters like Saitama and Naruto knowing good well she will beat them to death. Some people are also quick to disregard any type of high showing she has. Apparently she has to toss planets across the universe to prove a point. Lets not forget that the only reason she can hang with Superman is to satisfy tumblr feminists.

    Stop complaining and instigating fights with the Superman and Batman crowd then. You guys cause a lot of it. You don't have to describe how great WW is by making digs at Supes and Batman. I see it happen a lot on here.

    @somayareece: No offence here but Saitama would beat her at the level she is in new 52. I do not believe she is weak, but she has certainly lost a lot compared to her pre-flashpoint incarnation where she legitimately could put up a decent fight against Superman.

    @goodboy6: The Goku vs Superman debate has some very rabid fans in it, all of DBZ does. Death Battle saying Superman wins because of his infinite strenght (coughbullshitcough) infuriated both them and anyone with a shred of respect for either character, especially because they very nearly called Superman a boring Mary Sue. Their refusal to retreat after it became obvious SSJG wins was even worse.

    Death Battles are boring with Superman.no one can beat Superman if they will use some unlimited power shit.

    Wonder Woman is very underpowered in New 52.I'm kinda glad about that.

    @goodboy6: @01100110: Yeah, I already dropped Wonder Woman so I might drop DC as a whole. The reboot has ruin so many characters that it is unbearable. I will probably stick to Marvel.

    Death Battle has gotten so bias and those guys are showing their ignorance over there.

    Screwattack bring up some shit into their battle like Superman to be unlimited and they do some battles that are a total mismatch like Lightning vs Wonder Woman although that is One Minute Melee.anyway,what do you think about Lightning vs Wonder Woman???do you think that is a fair outcome???

    @somayareece: @goodboy6: It's hard to say who is making it worse honestly.

    ChoHulk is pratically a parody, Jane is an abomination of pandering, X-23 becoming Wolverine made some sort of sense but they did not handle the characters well. Sam as Cap is not very good but at least it's trying.

    Mostly I cherrypick my comics from both sides. Starfire is very charming as is Lois and Clark, Marvel has good stuff like Contest of Champions and even something downright great as Vision.

    I need to ask this: from where her powers come from. From her body (like Superman) or from her armor? If it is from her body, why/how? Isn't she only an Amazon (I say only because her powers look too much for her being simple an Amazon)..... I am saying from her pre-new 52

    @agent41: Thanks (a lot of thanks, really). But that answer leave more questions open. It can not enter in my head how she can be so strong, in comparison with Superman, being only human (even with being an Amazon (which I know are very strong) and magic enhancements). Is it possible that because her source of power is magic (technically), the effect of her abilities on Superman are greater (attack and defense at the same time) compared to others that are not that much affected by magic?

    I love WW but some of her levels of her abilities are very confusing.

    @shadowmaster91: her power source has shifted over the years. In the original version WW and all Amazons had learned to channel the energy of their minds into their bodies and could thus match Superman in strength and speed etc... They transcended normal humans through mental discipline and Diana was the best of the best.

    Later she was rebooted and the Amazons were no longer mere humans either. They were the magically reborn souls of women who died from violence by men. She herself has never really been 100% human as until N52 she was created of clay and given life by the gods (this varied a bit by writer too). In the Post-Crisis continuity Diana was also blessed by several different gods

    Demeter gave her the strength of the Earth itself

    Hermes speed and flight

    Athena wisdom

    Artemis the hunters eye

    Aphrodite gave her great beauty

    So while her powers are probably magic in nature they are also meant to be of massive levels. Technically she is strong enough to lift any object in Earth and can run and fly at nearly the same speeds as the Flash and Superman. She is also one of the finest warriors ever born and thus has fighting reflexes beyond even Superman.

    I don't think her magical nature really has an effect on Superman as it's contained in her body as opposed to being released as mystical energy. At least I don't think we've ever seen or heard that she weakens him in someway through her magical nature.

    @csg_cl: Thanks for the help.... The thing is that I am trying to write a fanfic (journal type fanfic) crossover of Naruto x Young Justice and I want to make Naruto on the same level of Captain Marvel / Wonder Woman (Below Superman) and I am trying to find ways for him to be on their same level in an logical way (without falling in God-Mode or giving a unfair advantage).

    @shadowmaster91: can't really help you there as I'm not familiar with Naruto. But CM and WW are not necessarily below Superman, in many appearances they are portrayed as equals or more to Superman. It's comics, and if you are doing fanfic you can do what you think is best.

    @csg_cl: 1° Yeah, I know that they are strong, but remember that Superman is progressive when battling. He don't fight giving his all. It is like the fight in death battle of Goku and Superman, it looked like they were evenly matched but Superman ended outclassing him because he was letting his strength out slowly.

    2° Yah, I know that it is a fanfic and that I can do whatever I want, but I don't want to make Naruto stronger because of stuff. I want to make him stronger because there could be a reason behind that.

    I think there are many many parallels between Naruto and n52 Wonder Woman in that they're both a little bit stupid, perhaps endearingly so, although Naruto is quite battle-savvy whereas Wonder Woman's not; their child-like faith in humankind is unshakeable despite being pariahs in their respective villages and they have this messianic ability to convert their enemies to friends. Furthermore, they've got an immense power sealed within them which they can't control, they erupt into berserk-mode every now and then. The main difference between them is that Naruto's got a very good win/loss ratio, he actually wins his battles

    @somayareece: I don't mind his power levels, I would just rather have some consistency. I don't like any character that essentially has unlimited power-up with no real reason for it. At least with the Hulk its inherent in the character and there is typically a negative consequence when his rage drives him too far. SM just has the vague "holding back" argument that creates a huge PIS allowing Clark to inexplicably perform any feat a writer wants without giving any explaination. One second he's getting his ass kicked and e next he's suddenly 10x more powerful with only the "holding back" BS to tell us why. Ugh... Hate that crap.

    @somayareece: It doesn't make any sense story-wise for a hero to be limitlessly powerful, they just say it to appease the fans is all. It just makes them feel better "knowing" they can always chalk up Superman's shortcomings to "he's holding back". Even when the Planet he loves so incredibly much is on the precipice of annihilation, Superman's still holding back...

    @csg_cl: @brunnhilde: What would be the point of a hero being limitless? I can understand progression and improvement in power level but the limitless crap is pushing it. DC has to find someway to please his fans in order to make up for the fact they have more interest in Batman. Superman should be able to wreck every single thing in the universe if decided not to hold back if that was the case. We're talking about a guy that couldn't take a hit from a train decades ago to now bench pressing planets. The fluctuation of his power in writing has desperation written all over it.

    I might be wrong but Sage Mode Narutos physical strength of lifting a huge monster with one arm and the destruction the bijuudama in his fox mode caused is really comparable to what animated versions of Superman or Wonder Woman can do in the regular episode.

    @shadowmaster91: theoretically the ring is a s powerful as the will power of its wielder thus Hal can be very powerful when he's focused. Personally I think he's middle of the pack too ... WW and SM have trashed GLs on a number of occasions and Flash has lots of speed based options to take him down. But GL can do things none of the others can because of the level of energy he can access. Being powerful and being outclassed in a fight are different things IMO
