And if it boiled down to brute strength, combat skill would you still say W.W.?
I change my opinion, no mind rape = no majority

It's not the tiara that makes her immune to telepathy. It's her eye of pallas upgrade.The more you know. =]
Writing this info down, BTW were these upgrades recent in WW V3? If so, what issue. Thanks
Which comic had WW slice off Ares head? 🙂

it's close. they're in the same weight class, but i'd give the edge to ww. max could take a couple though, no doubt. i'm surprised the 2 never had a knock-down-drag-out somewhere.
That is surprising. It would be a good fight, and I'd give Maxima a decent chance.
The only time I remember seeing them in a fight, Maxima just used her TP to put WW under mind control, so there was no brawling.

Diana's gained her "pallas upgrade" before series 3/pre-infinite crisis; don't have my books with me, but it was after being blinded in the fight with Medusa, and the trials/tribulations of several issues after that. After a journy through Hades and aiding in Athena's plan to have Ares usurp Hades as the god of the underworld, Diana's sight was restored by Athena, who shared here "vision" with Wonder Woman (who ever since is not only extremely resistant to mind control -- much to Maxwell Lord's dismay -- she is also capable of seeing in pitch blackness and through the illusions/deceptions of even gods, with the slight drawback of not always understanding that there is an illusion to be perceived by others -- she doesn't perceive the phantasms of Dr. Psycho anymore even though others near her may, which can be a trouble if she is trying to understand what it is that is happening...)
As someone said above... The More You Know... (shooting star...)
EDIT: Oh, forgot to vote/weigh-in...
That is still a tough one. Each has demostrated incredible feats. Maxima's TK is formidable, and allows for ranged attacks. Diana is faster (despite what some people may believe) and a better fighter. Generally I would say a good match, with the average of victories going to whoever got the drop on the other first. And, of course, circumstances make a big deal, too (On an alien world/in space, Maxima without a doubt; in a more mythic setting or if well-prepared for full-on battle, Diana).
EDIT PART 2: Should clarify further about her "upgrade" -- the "vision of Athena" is conceptual as well as physical; Diana has demonstrated that *all* of her senses are enhanced to better understand the truth of a situation (while her vision related abilites are "strongest", she also understands when she has heard or otherwise been conveyed a falsehood). This ability, though, does seem to fluctuate slightly, and be somewhat dependant on the well-being of Athena, herself, as Diana did not penetrate the guise of Athena that Granny Goodness created back in "Amazons Attack"... though many people (myself very much included) wrote that off to bad writing/the shit that usually happens to Martian Manhunter.
For once, I would like to see Diana portrayed with the "wisdom of Athena" she has been touted with for almost 70 years of comics, and not have it simply be a "special effect" employed here and there in a more fan-boyish way...

TK as well. She has held up entire continents with her TK and She's very underrated. Plus strength to hang with Supes himself. moved a space ship with her people in space at the speed of light, while creating a breathable atmosphere at the same time.
When did she do this? What issue?
