When I first saw the picture, I thought it was gonna be a "Who has the better ass?" debate. Then I saw Maxima's pic. You disappoint me greatly, Prep-Man.

I don't think the stats are comparable. Supergirl looks closer to Superman, and Superman showed serious superiority over Maxima even under Byrne-era level.
Also, if your reasons were accurate, then well, she'd have a better record against Superman.
She has telepathy that stalemated Braniac, TK strong enough to hold together a planet, and aside from Superman she was the only other character capable of hurting/taking hits from Doomsday in Adventures of Superman. She's fast enough to startle Superman too so idk why Kara is getting votes. She's not even in their league.
Kara might be physically stronger than Maxima, but even IF that is the case, I believe the difference is marginal. However, Maxima's monstrous TP/TK (along with her other psi abilities like BFR, duplication/simulacrums, force-fields, energy vision, etc.) give her a HUGE advantage, imo.
Max wins.

Supergirl would just power through Maxima versatility. Lately, before the reboot, DC was treating Kara like a high end character. She is just above Maxima imo.
Because even after 'teh Byrne era', Maxima was still shown giving Superman a decent fight. Was she his physical superior? No (though it CAN be argued.) But just like Kara, she was strong/fast enough to make him work for the win.
Anyhow, no character's versatility edge has "always" been helpful against Superman. I'd also like to mention that Max never once used all of the psi-abilities at her disposal against Supes.

She didn't look to give him such a decent fight here.
(please log in to view the image)
Granted, that was when the whole Eradicator influence was making him less likely to hold back IIRC, but it shows what Superman could do to Maxima at Byrne-era levels when he stops dicking around. Supergirl doesn't have the same control/holding back as Superman on top.
Oh ok, I got the impression it was all simultaneously when I read it, and I'm like, "WHAAAAAAA?" And thanks for the link, I'll check it in detail later.
So she's going to suddenly change for Supergirl over Superman? I know the whole her wanting to make him her lover/babydaddy and all, but there were plenty of times I saw where she was too enraged for that to matter, as well as against other characters.
That scene actually had nothing to do with Erads. It was a mental illusion Max cast into his mind in an effort to get Clark to love her. She could have mindraped him if she wanted.
Either way, do you really want me to post a few of her better fights against Superman, in which she came out looking better than him? Do you want me to then post Kara's battle against a drastically holding-back Superman as a point of comparison? C'mon. Let's not judge an entire theoretical fight by a single low showing.
KMC rules state that a character will fight to the best of their ability, so long as the tactics they use are still in character for them. On numerous occasions, Maxima has shown that using her psi-abilities (namely TP and TK) is one of her favored tactics--moreso than even fisticuffs. Therefore, I see no reason to assume that she wouldn't use at least some of those abilities here.
Additionally, I doubt the thread starter made this thread with the intention that Max wouldn't use any of her exotic powers.

I can see Maxima putting Kara down with a combination of telepathy, telekinesis and her ferrokinesis. She can go hand 2 hand and hold her own against Kara long enough to use those abilities. If she decides to just catfight Kara() she loses.
