    Wonder Woman

    Character » Wonder Woman appears in 8808 issues.

    The Amazon princess, blessed with god-like super abilities, Wonder Woman is one of Earth's most powerful defenders of peace, justice, and equality and a member of the Justice League. She is considered an archetype for many heroines outside of comic book. Her initial origin depicted her as a clay baby brought to life by patron goddess Aphrodite, but in recent years she has been depicted as the daughter of Zeus and Amazon queen Hippolyta.

    The DCAU was my first time learning about Wonder Woman, and the purpose of this thread is to put together some of the best feats of this version of the Amazonian Princess

    So, here we go

    Strength

    In general, Wonder Woman was not quite as strong as characters like Superman, but she was certainly strong enough to hold her own and a powerhouse to be reckoned with

    Lifting Strength:

    Feats of her lifting, throwing, or otherwise moving significant weight

    Flinging the invincible Annihilator armor around

    Killer Frost used her ice to protect herself from bullets, so this isn't just regular ice. Plus the shockwave from her landing was enough to knock the wind out of Frost

    Bracelet Deflecting

    Wonder Woman uses her bracelets to deflect bullets and other attacks. This is her primary source of reaction feats, and her main defense against attacks. As a result, I've divided this section into 2 sub-sections: one highlighting impressive reaction feats and one highlighting impressive damage negation feats

    Reaction:

    "There are so many reasons that shouldn't have worked"-Flash

    Granted Amazo eventually broke through her defenses with the rapid blasts, but not without her doing a very respectable job blocking

    Damage Negation:

    Feats of her blocking strong attacks with her bracelets

    Blocking hits from Hawkgirl-who was strong enough to hurt Superman level characters with her mace

    Speed

    Deflection blasts with her bracelets is Wonder Woman's main source of speed feats, but it's not her only source

    Not only does she deflect the bullets, she out-races the bullets to shield Batman

    Skill

    Wonder Woman has the raw physicals to contend with the bricks of the DCAU, but she is an Amazon, born a warrior and trained in the art of combat.

    Utilizing her skill against Mongul's superior physicals

    This is one of my favorite showings for Wonder Woman. The orange woman is Rampage. She had limited showings, but in those showings she repeatedly matched or beat Bizarro, making her physically equal to or better than Wonder Woman. And yet Wonder Woman dispatched her easily with a well place strike and the lasso

    Diana was skilled in armed as well as unarmed combat. She was shown to be skilled in knife throwing more than once, but this is by far her most impressive feat

    Well that's what I've got for feats, may be some more to add but I think it covers most of the significant stuff. Feel free to comment, add anything, etc

    Thanks for reading

    Nice work. The site really needed one of these.

    I think stopping a speeding train in heels(and without breaking them) is a feat in itself lol.

    This...is great. I know the DCAU versions are weak in comparison to their comic counterparts, but some of them really do have some great feats, particularly WW.

    @arcus1: well done! It's nice to see someone put these out as examples of Diana's awesomeness ... although many would point to some of these same feats as proof of her inferiority to SM. I would say that the DCAU version is typically not shown as powerful as the comics versions, but she's still amazing :)

    She also beat up superman in JLanimated , when they both were mind controlled i guess still she had the upper hand and superman stopped the fight by showing her his image in the mirror.
