Once again for clarification...only DC's heroes FROM earth? Or those who currently reside on earth? If it is the latter (and any timeline!?), then I would bring Justice Legion A to bear. Even so...that's still a pretty nasty list. ALL of the heralds? Christ.
And Firelord > Wonder Woman? Not on your life, Beyonder. Not EVEN. Consider:
Powers:
Wonder Woman's body is a mystical creation made from the clay surrounding Themyscira. Through divine means, her disembodied soul was nurtured in and retrieved from the womb of the High Matriarch and sole progenitor of the Titans of Myth and the Olympian Gods, Gaea. Once the soul was placed into the body it immediately came to life and was blessed with metahuman abilities by six Olympian deities (WONDER WOMAN #1).
Demeter, the goddess of agriculture and fertility, and avatar of Gaea, divinely blessed Diana with an inborn strength whose source is Gaea herself. Like the source from which she draws it, Wonder Woman's strength is nearly limitless. She has been observed assisting in the movement of entire heavenly bodies, catching cavernous-sized asteroids, supporting the weight of bridges, hefting entire railroad trains, subway trains, ships and aircraft. (JLA #58, 75; JLA: A LEAGUE OF ONE; JLA/TITANS #1, 3; WONDER WOMAN #24,110, 144, 175).
It is said that Superman may be the only being stronger than she (ACTION COMICS #761; JLA #96; WONDER WOMAN #102,103).
While not invulnerable, her body is considerably denser than the average human being, providing her with the appropriate stamina and endurance necessary to perform such feats, as well as to survive unprotected in harsh and extreme environments like Hell, the Poles or outer space- although, a significant enough force covering a small enough surface area (such as bullets, missiles, lasers, etc) would be able to penetrate her skin (ARTEMIS: REQUIEM #1; JLA #4; UNDERWORLD UNLEASHED #1-3; WONDER WOMAN #124, 178, Secret Files #1).
As Gaea is a constantly renewing source, Diana, too, has a rapid healing ability. Through her divine link to the Earth, Diana has not only survived ground zero explosions, Zeus’s thunderbolts and punches from a hyper-powered Doomsday, but has recovered quickly and miraculously from those and similar injuries(GREEN LANTERN #73; JLA #96; JLA: OUR WORLDS AT WAR Special #1; TEEN TITANS #6; WONDER WOMAN # 7, 23, 110, 172, 194, Secret Files #3).
Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, blessed Diana with great beauty and a loving heart, that she might be compassionate and fair in her quest for peace.
Pallas Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war, granted Diana great wisdom, intelligence and military prowess. It is from Athena’s gift that Diana exercises an incredible intellect that has allowed her to master over a dozen languages (including alien and animal languages), multiple complex crafts, sciences and philosophies, as well as over 3000 years of leadership, military strategy, and armed and unarmed combat. Diana is considered the greatest and most skilled fighter of her race (WONDER WOMAN #1, 5, 71, 170, 184, 195, 204).
Artemis, goddess of the hunt, animals and the moon, graced Diana with the Eye of the Hunter and Unity with Beasts. The eye of the hunter ability gives Diana enhanced sight and hearing. While there is no conclusive evidence, it appears that Diana can see distances and hear sounds at least three times that of human beings. Unity with beasts allows her to not only communicate with all sorts of animal life, such as sharks, birds and dinosaurs, but her mere presence can bring even the most ferocious beasts to an absolute calm (WONDER WOMAN #9, 171, 184, 187, 188, 196).
Hestia, goddess of the hearth, granted Diana sisterhood with fire. This power makes Diana the physical embodiment of truth. It is almost impossible to lie to her. With this truth power, Diana can see through mirages, illusions and other forms of deception (such as shape shifting), and is immune to telepathic attacks (WONDER WOMAN #25, 26, 55, 183, 204).
Hermes, the messenger god of speed, granted Diana super-speed and the ability to fly. Through the simple act of concentration, Diana can mystically defy the laws of gravity and propel herself through the air to achieve flight. Diana most often travels at supersonic speeds (Mach 3), but has been clocked moving at “invisible” or hypersonic speed (Mach 7 or above) both in the air and on the ground. She has even outsped Hermes’s avatar, the roman god of speed Mercury. She is swift enough to deflect bullets, lasers and other projectiles with her impenetrable bracelets. While the omniscient force known as the Godwave is the progenitor of both the Olympian Gods and the Speed Force, it is doubtful that the Wonder Woman or the Olympian Gods draw their speed abilities from the Speed Force, but more likely, draw that ability from the Godwave itself (JLA #2, 33, WONDER WOMAN #51, 56, 109, 171, 196).
In extreme situations, through prayer and meditation, Diana can channel the endless power of the Godwave, making her, theoretically, the single most powerful being in creation. However, she can only perform this act for mere seconds, as holding on to the power any longer than that would drive her insane and threaten all of existence. And also through prayer and meditation, Diana has been known to morph herself into the Earth and travel within it to escape imprisonment, alter her appearance and personality and send her astral self to mystical planes (WONDER WOMAN #63, 120, 152, 177, 184, Special #1).
Abilities:
Diana is an above Olympic-level athlete and acrobat who has been trained since infancy in the art of war. The “daughter” of more than 4000 warriors, favored of Athena and granddaughter of Ares, the god of war/conflict, Diana is a master of over 3000 years of armed and unarmed combat. She is a brilliant military strategist and her colleagues in the Justice League often look to her for advice on tactical strategy.
An unparalleled swordswoman and archer, she is nearly peerless with the battleaxe, lasso, quarterstaff, bo staff, dagger, spear, nunchuku, throwing star, sai, tonfa, kama, escrima stick, baton, boomerang and shield and she has mastered Iaido. Diana is an expert hand-to-hand combatant, having perfected innumerable forms unarmed combat including Shaolin, Wing Chun, Pa Kua, Hsing-i, and Tai Chi Kung Fu styles, Aikido, Judo, Jujitsu, Ninpo, Ninjutsu, Taekwondo, Hapkido, Karate, Capoeira, Boxing, Wrestling, Kickboxing, and countless forms of combat lost to the modern world, but still practiced by the various tribes of Amazons. Through her interactions with her teammates and allies, Diana is also proficient in Apokiliptan, Asgardian, Atlantean, Daxamite, Kryptonian, Martian, Okaaran and Titanese forms of combat (ACTION COMICS #761; MISTER MIRACLE #6, WONDER WOMAN #0, 1, 4-6, 9-13, 24-26, 28-35, 54-63, 66-71, 90-100, 139-169, 171-187, 189-195, 200, Special #1).
Weapons/Paraphernalia*
Lariat of Truth: A lariat of tiny chain links, the Lariat of Truth (a.k.a. “Lasso of Truth,” “Magic Lasso” or “Lariat of Hestia”) is of limitless length and virtually indestructible. Neither god nor mortal can escape the lasso which, when being held by Diana, compels anyone bound by it to tell the truth. The lariat glows as if on fire and can apparently burn the flesh of those within its confines if those individuals are impure. Diana can apparently control the latter ability. Additionally, the lariat possesses anti-mystical abilities and can protect Diana and anyone within its scared circle from magical attacks.
Bracelets of the Aegis: Created from the hide of Amaltheia, the goat that wet-nursed Zeus, king of the Gods (whose hide eventually became Zeus’s and Athena’s shield), the indestructible Bracelets of the Aegis were forged from the fragments of Zeus’s shield. They allow Diana to deflect bullets, lasers, arrows, swords, energy blasts and other projectiles than would be able to penetrate her tough skin. When crossed, the bracelets emit an impenetrable, low-level force field around her.
