Frankie loses badly in a brawl, she wasn't a tough herald. Nova didn't really have that bullet proof glaze coating like Surfer and she could die in a physical fight. Frankie might score a BFR win if she can teleport Diana away or dump Diana in time wormhole or something
Richard loses out in a very close fight, Diana might be less durable but she has higher strength and the higher fighting skill feats. Richard is no slouch and would give her the fight of her life. I give a tiny majority to Wonder Woman
Yeah she is tough against raw power and raw force. If you want to break her the bad guys usually use bullets and claws that cut her body but against just blunt force her skin does fine.
Maybe if Nova butted her with the sharp edge of his armor an upset might happen or maybe not,
IMO he will give her a close fight but I still think he will not match her skill as a fighter.

Wow. I'll have to read up on Diana then. Do you think she could resist Nova's Phased pulse or his Compressed gravimetric pulse? Also, do you rank her skill level higher then Gamora?

That's one of the more perplexing things about what DnA are doing with Nova right now. An average nova centurian is class 20 in strength, but Rich was always written/portrayed as stronger then an average centurian. More like class 50. Now he's Nova Prime and is supposed to be thousands of times more powerful then a centurian, yet he is written at around Wonder Man/She Hulk level. Class 100 sure, but low class 100.
I know DnA are pushing the gravity thing as trumping raw strength, which it does, but it's still an inconsistancy that annoy's me.
Although I will say, I just saw the pencils for the preview of Thanos Imperative #1. It looks like Richard is flat out kicking people's assess in the scenes I've seen so far. Some viseral stuff.
And even then they better be strong bullets and claws.
Plus of course the block-all bracers.
Dunno how high you rank Gamora, but Diana often trained in hand to hand with Batman (powers off of course), and he says she's the most deadly melee fighter in the league period.
