![]() He’s a go-to Wonder Woman villain because he’s so antithetical to who the heroine is. DarkseidĪres has come up a few times already, but he definitely needed an entry all to himself. Want more? The beating was so life-changing that the stuck-up Artemis actually began to respect Diana and they even became allies. This unexpected addition to Wonder Woman’s power set is obvious in hindsight, but it was handled so cleverly-and the results beautifully/barbarically rendered-you can’t help but giggle like a young fan again. Wonder Woman and Artemis had a rematch, and well, Diana dissected her half-sister so decisively that an unprepared reader might break out in cold sweats. Only this time, we got something new out of it.ĭiana tossed away her bracelets, allowing her to embrace the ichor in her veins-essentially tapping into a well of godhood. And, naturally, Wonder Woman got back up and started another fight with her. With her fighting talent, unbreakable flesh, and bizarre half-moon Batarang things, she kicked the ever-loving crap out of Diana. One of the most impressive beatings Wonder Woman ever took was at the hands of her half-sister Artemis (not to be confused with her fellow Amazon also named Artemis). Considering Diana’s fighting skills are underlined more often than her diplomacy, getting to see her outsmart rather than outfight an enemy (especially one so capricious and powerful) is always a welcome change of pace. Rather, she has to distract Strife or offer her up a more interesting target. Wonder Woman doesn’t usually fight Strife physically. She just wants to see what happens when she drops a stone into a lake. From something as simple as popping a baby’s balloon to playing Diana’s team against each other and then outdoing herself by instigating a multiple kidnapping and using the Amazons as a personal chew toy, Strife is a troublemaker, even though she's actually kind of neutral, alliance wise. Also, she instigates problems for fun whenever she feels like it. Looking like a cross between Sinead O’Connor and a raver, regular people automatically devolve into paranoid chaos around her. She’s another one of Wonder Woman's half-siblings, and, living up to her name, she literally causes strife wherever she goes. When your name is Strife, there’s a good chance you aren’t the god of rainbows and winning lottery tickets. These are 15 Times Wonder Woman had to Fight a God. She's definitely killed her fair share of people, and some of them were almighty in nature. This is a real problem, considering that when Wonder Woman isn’t being a well-trained diplomat, she’s usually kicking people’s heads off. She has to deal with the gods of Greece often, and if you know anything about the Greek gods, you know that they’re often unpleasant. She is the Princess of Themyscira and the Queen of DC Comics.īy embracing, adopting, and cannibalizing Greek mythology and building upon it with Diana as its focus, Wonder Woman becomes stranger and immediately more complicated. As mythic as DC’s characters are, no one quite embodies myth itself quite like Wonder Woman. Batman is the tragedy of a man who cannot cope with loss it’s at once about noble sacrifice and a warning about obsession. Superman is the embodiment of the American creation story-an immigrant who is distrusted and eventually embraced by his adoptive home. She is an icon with a history that's as complicated as her world view she is both an arbiter of peace and a fearsome warrior. Wonder Woman is a unique character in DC Comics and comics in general. ![]()
