Storm vs Wonder Woman

To Radioboy121:

PS: I'm under 21 I can't buy alcohol

You've given a very good argument concerning Storm's abilities and strengths. But you seem to refuse to recognize Storm's weaknesses. Smaller lightening attacks are instantaneous and require little to no concentration. However larger scale attacks such as tornadoes and lightening storms require a greater amount of concentration and time. Sure she can create a massive hurricane and or make it hail stones the size of baseball. But such an attack would require time and concentration. She has to gather moisture, the right mixture of natural gases, and supplement other materials to the concoction required to make a hurricane or hailstorm.

Let's imagine that Diana and Storm meet each other on a battlefield. What's the distance between them? 10, 50, 100 feet? If this is so the battle would end a nanosecond after the bell sounds. WW can move, act, and think faster than the speed of sound. The speed of sound is approximately 750 mph. Diana is faster than 750 mph. Storm would be out before she has a chance to react or even fly away. (by the way Storm's max speed in the air is Mach III according to the Official Handbook of the X-Men)

Even if Storm pummeled Diana with everything she has, hurricanes, tornadoes, lightening strikes, hail storms, etc. she would only impede Diana's assault, not knock her out. When Diana crosses her bracelets she creates an impenetrable forcefield that reflects and protects Diana's entire body. She even reflected Darkseid's dreaded Omega Beams. So whatever Storm hits her with will either be reflected (i.e. lightening strikes) or buffered (i.e wind assaults) WW could just cross her gauntlets and she would be invulnerable to Storm's attacks. She could then proceed to wait until Storm tires herself out.

WW is second in strength and invulnerability to Superman. She's capable of holding her own against the likes of Thor and the Hulk. That's how tough she is. Imagine what kind of attack Storm would have to conjure to even dent the Amazon. It would have to be tremendous. (Also I reread the lightening burst occurrence with Superman. He wasn't knocked out. He was merely momentarily stunned. He got right back up) Storm would have to conjure a storm no man has ever seen. And it still wouldn't be enough. Storm would collapse from exhaustion and WW would perform a mercy blow.

Storm has several years of combat experience and training. Wonder Woman has several THOUSAND years of combat experience and training. She's battled gods, angels, demons, white martians, and other various fiends that would topple one's imagination. Storm is simply outmatched. Wonder Woman has been taught to kill, maim, and disable her opponents since the day she was born. Everything that Storm could throw at her would only delay the inevitable: her defeat.

I'm not sure...

Wonder Woman's fast, but I doubt she's faster than a lightning bolt. But if she could directly attack Storm, she'd surely win. But storm can conjure hurricane winds with an instant. I've read that Wonder Woman can fly at Mach 3 as well. Storm can fly as fast as the wind will carry her.
In a physical fight, no question, Wonder Woman. The question is whether or not Wonder Woman could attack her before being hit by a lightning bolt.

Force Field? I've never heard of such. Support with evidence, Draco.

To Cosmic Cube:

Storm can fly at a max speed of Mach III. Diana can fly at max speed of Mach 10. It's no contest. Hurricane winds can create enough force to topple a building. But not Diana. 300 mph winds isn't going to stop a person who can go to toe to toe with the Hulk. Lightning strikes aren't going to do much damage to Diana ( not to mention she can reflect the damn things).

Many characters have dodged Storm's lightening strikes. Toad, Spider-Man, Captain America, Daredevil, Nightcrawler, etc. If these characters can evade these attacks, than Diana most certainly can evade or block it with her gauntlets. Her gauntlets are made of metal, and I predict that someone will say that the metal will just current the electricity throughout her body. This isn't true. Diana's deflected many electrical attacks before (i.e. Black Lightening) and the charges did not current through her body. Why? Because the bracelets are magical. It was forged from The Shield of Aegis.

ONCE AGAIN, Diana can move, think and act faster than the speed of sound. Storm would have no time to react to such an attack at that speed.

According to the Wonder Woman Handbook (found in Barnes & Noble, Graphic Novels section) when Diana crosses her bracelets, she creates a magical forcefield that can deflect and buffer almost any attack. Diana once even reflected Darkseid's Omega Beams back at him using this forcefield (Superman/Batman comic, the New Supergirl storyline). Phil Jimeniz illustrated this maneuver many times during his scribe period for the WW comic. Darkseid's Omega Beams is capable of reducing Superman to ash. Storm has NOTHING in her arsenal that is capable of such a feat. If WW can reflect Darkseid's Omega Beams than Diana can most certainly reflect ANYTHING that Storm thorough her way. Diana's forcefield can also buffer physical attacks and other non-energy attacks (i.e. hurricane winds). Wonder Woman used this maneuver when she fought a hybrid of Superman and Doomsday that her arch nemesis Circe created. If WW's forcefield can buffer a full on blow from the hybrid of Superman and Doomsday than she most certainly buffer her winds.

C'mon people. I love Storm. She's my favorite X-Man. Although the White Queen is rapidly beginning to replace her as my favorite. But I know (and you know) that Storm does not stand a chance against Diana. Storm loses. Period.

He was a martial artist/bodybuilder who played Hulk in the 70's TV Show.

Oh. I learned something new! *cue Final Fantasy battle victory music*

Very well I'll be fair to elaborate her weaknesses. First off, her powers are limited by the mental constraint she can handle, but could also actually correlate with her psychological ability to believe she can achieve a particular feat. She is also human, who although was shown to be able to survive the vacuum of space for an X amount of time, she would by right fall to a hit by a powerhouse. She is claustrophobic which could either mean her powers would go out of control due to her fear, or that she would quiver and go in a fetal
position.

She tends to be very sensitive by what others think of her and takes it hard when she results in failure. She can kill, but she takes no pleasure in it and she values life in many mediums (i.e. children, plants) that could also be exploited as an advantage for others.

Now let's get back in the debate. First off, the time it takes for Storm to do most of her weathering control is fast despite your elaboration that her powerful attacks necessarily take a long time. Example, when she battled a mandroid (they were fit to handle the Avengers), she froze it to the point that the armor began to collapse and fall apart in a manner of seconds [and they most certainly emphasized seconds in narration]. And when Magneto was inkling on one of his world conquest battle plans, she instantly whipped up a tornado that was so furious, Magneto's own magnetic field could not protect him and he would have surely suffocated from the vacuum it created if he didn't use Colossus' body to distract Storm.

Let's imagine that Diana and Storm meet each other on a battlefield. What's the distance between them? 10, 50, 100 feet? If this is so the battle would end a nanosecond after the bell sounds. WW can move, act, and think faster than the speed of sound. The speed of sound is approximately 750 mph. Diana is faster than 750 mph. Storm would be out before she has a chance to react or even fly away. (by the way Storm's max speed in the air is Mach III according to the Official Handbook of the X-Men)

I love statistics as much as the next person; heck, I like to fancy the comparison of one to another to justify one's superiority, but realistically most of these statistics are hogwash, thus far from credible. Creators have been changing the abilities for years and even then, their statistics have been contradicting or just plain wrong; Wolverine was once coined as Earth's greatest villain (could be a typing mistake by them), Galactus was once rated with stamina of Aunt May but given Unlimited in another, and Deadpool was made far superior in agility to Spiderman. Are these credible then? Comics is
only the legitimate way to say that they can do certain things, for even a site, whether official or not could just throw numbers at random if they wanted to.

Let's try the Wizard battle you once referred to before that listed the top 10 superheroes as a great example. In accordance to them, a fight also means to come out in surprise and attack (i.e. they elaborated that Dr. Strange wins since he can port from behind Professor Xavier without knowing of the battle and fall). Talk about reputable and unbias.Next, you have yet to define to me that Wonder Woman does not associate in any plane of the laws on Earth. If she doesn't, then her reputed max speed would go uncontested. If she does however, there is a thing called acceleration that doesn't happen instantly for most heroes/villains. Also, her contested speed doesn't mean Storm's helpless. Silver Surfer is a prime example when he tried to unwrest the gauntlet from Thanos' hands. Thanos subdued most of his powers (including foresight) when he was playing with Captain America before he noticed in a twinkling that Silver Surfer was approaching. Realize how fast Silver Surfer was going and justify that Thanos shouldn't even have had a chance to evade.

Lastly, Storm wouldn't even have a chance to react? Please justify that Wonder Woman could go so blazing fast that she would do a "Flash." Storm can fly at high speeds, but does she herself decorate her opponent with punches without them having a chance? Even if Wonder Woman was capable of such dexterious control of body and flight (speed isn't the only key), the question is whether she would do it? Otherwise, as I said in the other Wonder Woman thread, you are just pitting power vs. power. What's the difference? When pitting
characters, their personality are intwine with the decisions they make. With powers only, Flash can internally vibrate his body to time travel in the past and kill baby Superman.

She could then proceed to wait until Storm tires
herself out.

If she has such an impenetrable forcefield, why isn't it on all the time. It must be some hinderance to fight with it as Hal Jordan's forceshield is to him, otherwise why would people like Mongul be hitting him when it's down (I said down, not drained)? Why is she being contested against characters like Batman or Deathstroke, who are more suited to her pre-crisis version when she duking it out with the likes of the warrior Red Dragon?

Darkseid's Omega Effect is a focused attack that will affect an opponent once it touches. It's not like a laser where it naturally just does damage. Also, this doesn't justify many of Storm's attacks that Wonder Woman can't just deflect with her bracelets.

Lastly, Storm tire out after she sees that this forcefield is blunting the attack? Unlike Wolverine who in certain states would go unrelenting despite the scenario, Storm would bide her time too, and even use the mist/rain tactic to discourse her opponent into possibly taking it down.

WW is second in strength and invulnerability to Superman. She's capable of holding her own against the likes of Thor and the Hulk. That's how tough she is. Imagine what kind of attack Storm would have to conjure to even dent the Amazon. It would have to be tremendous. (Also I reread the lightening burst occurrence with Superman. He wasn't knocked out. He was merely momentarily stunned. He got right back up) Storm would have to conjure a storm no man has ever seen. And it still wouldn't be enough. Storm would collapse from exhaustion and WW would perform a mercy blow.

So far all the allegations in other threads is that Wonder Woman is hard to touch in front up fights, which might apply to Thor and Hulk, but certainly not Storm as she isn't going to be duking it out that way. This changes tactics. Not dent the Amazon? I brought up that mentioning of Superman that even a lightning backlash of this smaller magnitude had affected him, and certainly those are just childsplay for Storm. She can call up far worse than this that would certainly do more than just daze.

Storm has several years of combat experience and training. Wonder Woman has several THOUSAND years of combat experience and training. She's battled gods, angels, demons, white martians, and other various fiends that would topple one's imagination. Storm is simply outmatched. Wonder Woman has been taught to kill, maim, and disable her opponents since the day she was born. Everything that Storm could throw at her would only delay the inevitable: her defeat.

When you say Wonder Woman has thousands of years in combat training, is it one style or many? Actually, that doesn't even matter. Wolverine has plenty of martial arts skills, but he lamented that Sabertooth and Puma are tough because of their pure savage nature. Taskmaster adapted to many styles, but was defeated by Mr. X not because he was more skilled, but he was a low level telepath. And for Storm's credit - she defeated Callisto (even though she was arrogant, she shouldn't fall like that), a warrior at heart fighter and later Marrow who had achieved the harsh conditions of the HILL and was notoriously vicious during her run in Gene Nation. And I can ignore all this because as stated, why would Storm fight her directly? On a different spectrum, why would Champion duke against fighting contenders of Earth and not a Sienna Blaze or Magneto type cast? Not that they would necessarily win, but he just couldn't use his same strategy.

Storm can fly at a max speed of Mach III. Diana can fly at max speed of Mach 10. It's no contest. Hurricane winds can create enough force to topple a building. But not Diana. 300 mph winds isn't going to stop a person who can go to toe to toe with the Hulk. Lightning strikes aren't going to do much damage to Diana ( not to mention she can reflect the damn things).

Even if Wonder Woman can fly through it, it doesn't mean she would go unscathed. How about suffocation, or at the very least, her pattern is shifted and she might miss her target anyway. The lightning attack debacle was mentioned above so I won't repeat again.

Many characters have dodged Storm's lightening strikes. Toad, Spider-Man, Captain America, Daredevil, Nightcrawler, etc. If these characters can evade these attacks, than Diana most certainly can evade or block it with her gauntlets. Her gauntlets are made of metal, and I predict that someone will say that the metal will just current the electricity throughout her body. This isn't true. Diana's deflected many electrical attacks before (i.e. Black Lightening) and the charges did not current through her body. Why? Because the bracelets are magical. It was forged from The Shield of Aegis.

A lightning attack cannot be evaded by most of these characters in normal circumstances (and it's even debatable if Spiderman can truly dodge one) and Storm doesn't use full fledge force on foes she sees cannot handle it. She shot at Cyclops (who evaded) as a warning or discouragement, not to do injury. And as to the electricity deflection, even Magneto could not say that an electric attack from her was a walk in the park and that he couldn't even feel something [painful]. If Magneto was weary about her ferocity, think of how Wonder Woman will think of it.

ONCE AGAIN, Diana can move, think and act faster than the speed of sound. Storm would have no time to react to such an attack at that speed.

According to the Wonder Woman Handbook (found in Barnes & Noble, Graphic Novels section) when Diana crosses her bracelets, she creates a magical forcefield that can deflect and buffer almost any attack. Diana once even reflected Darkseid's Omega Beams back at him using this forcefield (Superman/Batman comic, the New Supergirl storyline). Phil Jimeniz illustrated this maneuver many times during his scribe period for the WW comic. Darkseid's Omega Beams is capable of reducing Superman to ash. Storm has NOTHING in her arsenal that is capable of such a feat.

I gave my counter argument above, so I'm not going to repeat myself again.

If WW can reflect Darkseid's Omega Beams than Diana can most certainly reflect ANYTHING that Storm thorough her way. Diana's forcefield can also buffer physical attacks and other non-energy attacks (i.e. hurricane winds).Wonder Woman used this maneuver when she fought a hybrid of Superman and Doomsday that her arch nemesis Circe created. If WW's forcefield can buffer a full on blow from the hybrid of Superman and Doomsday than she most certainly buffer her winds.

You say hybrid, meaning a shadow of the force self but not the actual deal or clones. That's not enough evidence to justify Storm's powers against this forcefield. Anyway, Circe shouldn't even need to play with her as she was almost successful in taking Wonder Woman's soul in War of the Gods [if not for a particular someone].

I can accredit Wonder Woman as being statistically overall more powerful than a Rogue, but your definition of Wonder Woman would clearly clean post-crisis Superman, Thor, and Hulk at the same time without them even blinking, a fact that was part of the reason for the Crisis - to stop so many flying, super strong, invulnerable fighters. She might not wear a cape to kill the representation of Superman's mantle, but there were too many characters like this before and I hope it isn't happening again.

Storm would win. She has the power of nature. Where wonderwomen is just super strong.

To Cosmic Cube:

Wow, what a great thesis. But it completely lacks credible evidence. I don't care about Wolverine and Puma. I don't care about Silver Surfer and Thanos. At first glance your post is a great argument. Further inspection complies that it skips around the meat of the issue: HOW is Storm going to defeat Wonder Woman. Your argument comprises of how OTHER characters overcame their foes using similar tactics. (i.e. Wolverine vs. Puma and Storm vs. Magneto). For example, I said that WW can use her superspeed to take Storm out with one quick punch. You reply by bringing up Thanos and Silver Surfer; an incident that is completely unrelated to the battle of Storm vs. Wonder Woman. I mentioned WW's combat experience. For some reason you dove into the Gene Nation, Wolverine, Puma, and various other unrelated issues that has NOTHING to do with the fight.

The core issue is that WW is faster, stronger, and vastly more experienced than Storm. For the final time: Storm meets WW on the battlefield. Storm is knocked out with a superspeed punch before she has time to do anything. End of Story. The spectors demand their money back.

Sigh... I don't know how you are reading my responses (I think are you referring to me and not Cosmic Cube), but basically you just literally ignored my every counter and still say Wonder Woman is the winner, no contest. I cannot argue with a person who refuses to come down and answer any of my inquiries, such immovability, her exact durability, the forcefield, etc. I gave examples of attacks that would possibly harm her (freeze, lightning, wind) or immobilize (rain, mist), so don't say I didn't give my two cents about how she could beat Wonder Woman.

I've used Storm's experiences and the elaboration of other characters to refute yours proclamations that are unrealistic. For example, 1000 years of fighting experience? This might seem incredible, but you never told me how much variety she is experienced with, and second, even though Storm is not the greatest of fighters, Wonder Woman would be basically just fighting a storm. You can't hit that.

Next, why mention Silver Surfer and Thanos? They're irrelevent, right? Please think for a moment about the subject matter, which happened to be speed. First off, you never did justify that Wonder Woman can just catwalk through a storm Ororo can throw at her. Superman would feel something, why not her? Second, you strangely believe that Wonder Woman is at her fastest instantly that Storm wouldn't even have a chance. Lastly, back on the Silver Surfer/Thanos debacle, he was probably going at light speed and Thanos didn't have precognition to sense it, yet he reacted. REACTED. Wonder Woman isn't even going half that speed and yet you say Storm doesn't have the chance.

The core issue is that WW is faster, stronger, and vastly more experienced than Storm. For the final time: Storm meets WW on the battlefield. Storm is knocked out with a superspeed punch before she has time to do anything. End of Story. The spectors demand their money back.

Stronger, yes. Faster, yes. Experienced? Storm's own should not be discounted to say Wonder Woman would clearly be a victor. She and X-Men were on stay in Asgard among other places if you want to say gods. She and the X-Men battled against superior organizations/groups that could even challenge JLA.

First of all, Thanos is God. He possesses godly strength, endurance, intelligence and REFLEXES. Secondly, he has godlike telepathy. He sensed Silver Surfer's presence. Thirdly, Thanos already knows how Silver Surfer fights. Storm possesses human reaction time and reflexes. She could not react fast enough to a fist traveling at the speed of sound. And for future reference, Superman was NOT knocked out nor hurt from the electrical attack you mentioned. Superman can survive a nuclear attack (he has) an electrical attack is not going to bother him.

I'm going to argue once again, why Storm doesn't stand a chance against Wonder Woman. (And nearly everyone else on this board agrees.)

This post is a response to WW’s strength level and Superspeed limit.

Superspeed: This is what the profile specifically says in regard to her superspeed.

From WW profile at starnet-database.com:

Wonder Woman possesses reflex abilities similar to lower-level speedsters such as Jesse Quick and Max Mercury, somewhere in the range of 8 to 20 times normal human reflexes with concentration. She, however, does not maintain her enhanced speed awareness due to the temporal difficulties such thinking causes her. She seems able to keep up with Jesse Quick, referencing her patron deity of speed and messenger of the gods, Hermes as the source of her powers.

It is unknown how long she can maintain a speedster’s average pace (which we clock at approximately 125 mph (2.08 miles/second) to 200 mph (3.3 mile/sec) inner-city and 225 mph (3.75 miles/sec) to 500 mph (8.3 miles/sec) over land outside of cities). Since Wonder Woman lacks the speed aura of true speedsters, the environmental effects/disruptions that she causes probably prevent her from utilizing superspeed mobility as a common mode of travel.

Wonder Woman is capable of unassisted flight through an as yet unknown but probably magical means. She has been clocked at Mach 3 (2,100 mph, 35 miles per second) in flight and can be presumed to be much faster if she wanted to be. No reliable ceiling is known but atmospheric disturbances occur at speeds greater than Mach 10 (7,000 mph, 116 miles/sec) so that is probably her limit in atmosphere as well.

Speedsters like the Flash are connected to the Speed Force. They have an aura that protects the environment around them from being altered by their immense speed. That’s why Wally doesn't’t create a massive hurricane every time he breaks the sound barrier. Diana is not connected to the Speed Force. She lacks a speedsters’ aura. If she were to breach the sound barrier on terra firma, the results would be disastrous to the surrounding area. If it were in a populated area, she would blow out every window on the street and cause millions of dollars in property damage. That’s why she rarely utilizes it unless she has to. Flight is another aspect. The source above plainly states that Diana can fly at Mach 3 and could fly much faster if she wanted to (i.e. Mach 10). The reason she doesn't’t is because flying at that speed would cause massive atmospheric disturbances. The above also mentions Jesse Quick. When Diana teamed up with Jesse Quick, She was able to keep up with Jesse Quick. (Wonder Woman Plus Jesse Quick #1 [1996]: Written by Christopher Priest; art and cover by Mike Collins and Tom Palmer.) How fast is Jesse Quick? By speaking the mantra, ‘3x2(9YZ) 4A’, Jesse can accelerate to roughly half-lightspeed and can fly.

In another portion of starnet-database.com, there is section called the “analyses files.” When you open the “Ratings” tab, you’ll see the super speed segment. It shows who the fastest heroes are in the DC Universe. There are as followed:

Superspeed/Reflexes

Flash
Superman
Martian Manhunter
Wonder Woman

The Flash can accelerate past lightspeed. Superman cannot travel at lightspeed, but is just under it, MM can not travel lightspeed but is just under Superman’s limit, and Wonder Woman cannot travel at lightspeed but is just under MM’s limit. Light speed equals 299,792,458 meters/second (186,000 miles/second). The speed of sound is at approximately 343 m/s. (750 miles per hour) .We know that she can obviously fly faster than the speed of sound. Her max speed on terra firma is 500 miles per hour. Only 251 miles per hour before breaching the sound barrier. Not by choice or limitation, but because if she exceeds the speed of sound on land, the proverbial sh@# will hit the fan for the area around her. Thus from all this we can deduce that Diana is faster the speed of sound.

Superstrength:

First, I’m going to refer to the spacecraft you’ve been hearing so much about. During the Grant Morrison arc on the JLA, just after the Martian storyline, we see the very first appearance of the fallen Angel Zauriel. During the battle with the Angels we see a fantastically huge airship hovering over the city (Central City, I believe). Zauriel calls this a war chariot for the angels trying to overthrow God. Wonder Woman breaks into the airship and disables the main computer. Unfortunately the ship begins to fall and threatens to destroy the entire city. Wonder Woman takes it upon herself (she was the one who made fall in the first place) to support the entire ship until the other Justice League members find a way to transport it back to heaven. This angel war chariot was the BIGGER than the city itself. Diana supported this humongous ship until Wally made it go away. It must have weighed an incredible amount of tons.

From the same website, at the “Ratings” tap, we can see that Wonder Woman is classified as “B”. B stands for a person who can lift UP TO 100 tons. This is debatable with the previous feat in mind, but I’m going to go out a limb, and say this is accurate.

Experience:

Storm is NOWHERE near the experience that Wonder Woman possesses. Ororo spent the first half of her life (until 19 to 21) in Africa. She possessed little to no combat experience whatsoever. First she was thief in Cairo and pick pocketed peoples’ money for a living. After that, she was worshipped as goddess by several tribes. She basically halted famines and made it rain so that the tribes’ crops could grow. She was then recruited by Professor Xavier into the X-Men. From then on than, she’s had several years of training and battle experience. She was also trained by Wolverine.

Wonder Woman was raised on Themyscira, an island of warrior Amazons. Since the day she was born, she was trained to be a warrior. She was trained in all styles of martial arts and mastered them. She excelled in archery, swordplay, and has mastered the use of all hand-held weapons. Diana left Themyscira at an early age as an ambassador for peace. During her crusade she’s battled countless villains. Gods, supervillains (including the Weather Wizard who’s a hell of lot better at weather manipulation than Storm), aliens, demons, etc. She was also trapped in a hell dimension with Superman for several thousand years. In that hell dimension, she defeated entire armies of demons, goblins, and monsters that defies imagination. She even went up against Satan and won.

Durability:

Wonder Woman possesses what the experts classify as “limited invulnerability”; which means that she invulnerable to an extent. She can take hit from Doomsday and get right back up. However certain attacks are capable of harming her. (i.e. She was burnt to crisp from a Martian Vision blast) But her durability is just below the likes of Superman and Captain Marvel.

Wonder Woman’s bracelets DO form a forcefield when crossed. I already mentioned the source and the times she has used it. It doesn't’t matter if she rarely uses, what matters is that she CAN use it.

Hurricane winds can be broken through. Diana possesses the strength to do so. Lightining can be evade and deflected. Captain America once dodged Storm's lighting blasts during an X-Men/Avengers crossover. Diana's a hundred times faster than him. It doesn't matter what Storm throws at her. Diana can buffer and deflect it all. Hiding in mist and rain isn't going to do anything but delay the inevitable. Diana's a master tactician. She's battled weather-controlling elementals before (i.e. Poseidon's son, a loser who absorbed some of Zeus's weather-controlling powers, and the Weather Wizard), hiding in the fog isn't going to throw her off. Even if several lightening blasts do hit Diana, it won't harm her, it would just annoy her. Diana was once hit with a concussive blast with the energy yield of an atomic weapon. She was barely fazed. Diana was also hit several times with Zeus' lightening by Circe. Zeus' lightening is much stronger than regular lightening. She withstood them all. Storm could trap her in an ice storm like she did with the Mandroid. WW's incredible strength would break the ice like it was made of cheap plaster.

Storm's outmatched in everyway. No thing she could do would harm WW. For the LAST TIME, one superspeed punch and its over. Storm doesn't not possess the reflexes nor speed to evade such an attack. Storm has hit many opponents with lightening. Rogue, the White Queen, Black Tom, etc. They shrugged of her blasts. WW's more durable than all of them. The blasts would just tickle her. The power of nature bows before a goddess. Literally.

I do not trust the legimacy of web sites, only comics that show the demonstration of a character's abilities. There are still holes that I do not understand of the current Wonder Woman that still have not been addressed, but I'll concede for the time being.

First off, Superman is not exactly immortal, so he could only live through this if this dimension doesn't follow a time factor and this number defines the time spent, or this is similar to Limbo where time does not equate the same as Earth. Otherwise, this sounds like an alternate time line and if so, this might not qualify. Also, are you referring to Lucifer when you refer to this Satan? She cannot possibly match his power unless she was enhanced or Lucifer depowered himself.

To Radioboy121:

The whole trapped in the dimesnsion thing happened in Action Comics #761. Both Wonder Woman and Superman were transported to Valhalla, where they assisted Thor and other Asgardians in protecting that realm against demons. The two spent nearly several thousand years in this long war, but proved victorious. I don't know how WW and Superman remained immortal. I'm guessing the Asgardians gave them temporary immortality. The "Satan" was the Norse version of Satan. Not Hel though.

I think you give Wonder Woman a little too much credit. Does Wonder Woman possess the acceleration to perform such an attack? I have seen a Superman vs Cyborg (Age of Superman, #563). Superman did not, and cannot deliver a flurry of superspeed punches. If he could, he would never lose to anyone. This would make uninteresting comic books, so the writers did not give him that power.

Is Wonder Woman durable? Bullets can kill her. I think she'd have quite a problem with lightning. I have yet to read that Wonder Woman is very "durable" or "invulnerable," (she certainly isn't more durable than the White Queen.) If bullets can hurt her, punches and lightning can as well.

The "Force Field" arguement is questionable as well. If she could use a force field, she would have no reason to block bullets with her blacelets. If a character has an ability, it would be used in comics. In all the years that Wonder Woman has been in publication, she would have displayed such a power more than once. I could say that Rouge posesses telepathy, but if she does not consistantly use it in comic books, it can be assumed that she can't.
