I was looking at it like this... there is a thread where the majority are voting that Superman could beat Firelord and Terrax and then some people also stated that Superman would stomp Nova and Firelord teamed together and Wonder Woman is Supermans equal.
Preface Note: the problem people have in their "equating' one character with another (or not), is that they tend to do it from a simple, one dimensional/linear POV; powersets, vulnerabilities, and comparative attributes make a *huge* difference in a "practical" forum-battle. Wonder Woman is essentially Superman's "equal" only in the context that (again, just generally speaking), she has been indicated by DC for at least a decade now as being almost as strong, relatively as fast, and about as resistant to blunt attacks (he's better, of course) as he is; his broader powers make a *huge* difference, however, when comparing to others in forum battles, just as her weaponry (and more esoteric secondary abilities -- limited Themiscyran magic/rituals; being more resistant to magic than he is, as well as moreso than many characters; having "Truth Vision/Senses", via Athena's blessing; et al), make her more effective than him in certain other battles. As is often the case, too many people on this (and other) forums think in too narrow concepts/terms, and/or in overly simplified Yes/No, Stomp/Easy answers.

With four on two, and Mags at his prime (and ready/shields up), I am thinking Team 2 takes a narrow majority; it certainly isn't the stomp, however, some might think, and SM/WW certainly get wins, especially if they really get their "team-on", as the two of them work very well in tandem together. As stated further up the posts, Mags makes the difference here; without him, Team 1 can take the other 3... Now, of course, the real debate becomes: can they defeat Team 2 if someone *else* is dropped off, but Mags is still there...
