To Supessucks: Pre-Crisis Wonder Woman was not given any powers from the gods. All the Amazons had natural superhuman strength, speed, etc. Post-Crisis Wonder Woman is entirely different animal.
Many millenniums ago, a woman named Hipplotya and her tribe of Amazons went to war with Hercules and his army. Hipplotya bested Hercules in armed combat and thusly won the war. Hercules was invited by the Amazons to a celebration promoting peace. Hercules drugged the Amazons and they were enslaved. Hipplotya prayed to Athena, who created the Amazons earlier on, to release them. Athena was angry at the Amazons for being so gullible so she released them for a price. The Amazons overcame their captors and Athena sentenced the Amazons to an remote island containing the worst monsters in the world underneath it. Centuries later, Hipplotya yearned for a child. She prayed to the gods for one. They granted her request. She was told to go to the shores of Themyscira and sculpt a infant from clay. The sculpture was given life by the Gods and granted her their powers:
The strength of Gaea (literally the entire Earth) that which is stronger than Hercules (i.e. strength that exceeds 100 tons)
The swiftness of Hermes that which bests a woman's warrior cry (i.e. faster than the speed of sound)
The beauty and love of Aphrodite
Artemis' affinity with animals and the moon's eye (i.e she can talk to animals and she can see really well)
Athena's wisdom
And Zeus's power (i.e. her invulnerability)
Diana's powers aren't hers. Her powers are the gods'. Zeus said that as long as they existed, their powers would be hers. Rogue can't absorb them because they were granted to, and only, Diana. The gods gave their powers to her, and her, only. Anyone who tries to take them would leave empty-handed. It's like Thor's hammer. Only someone worthy can lift. However the Greek Gods gave their power to Diana. Not Rogue. So she wouldn't get anything. The gods don't need to intervene, their word is unbreakable.
I don't recall Rogue ever absorbing the Phoenix force from Jean. But the Phoenix Force is a cosmic entity bound by the laws of science. Diana's powers are god-given and is magic.
Wonder Woman is not invulnerable, Damnit.
And if her power's belong to the gods, she is powerless in this universe, as the god's do not exist in this universe.
During the Phoenix saga she did, but was unable to control it.
Juggernaut's power is magical, yet she drained him.
Where did you get this information?
To Supessucks:
Rogue joined the X-Men AFTER the Phoenix Saga. Jean was already dead and buried. Scott left the team to be a fisherman. And Storm got a mohawk. You got it confused with the cartoon or something.
Who said that Diana and Rogue were fighting in the Marvel Universe? Diana's been to different universes before and she still had her powers.
Juggernaut is mystical not godly. His power is his own. Diana's powers are godly. For example, Rogue could not absorb Loki because he was a god.
I got it from the hardcover WW Guide at Barnes & Noble. And a Wonder Woman Secret File comic back in 1998
Rogue has taken power from magical beings before. Juggernaut's powers were magical. She's also taken Thor's power and he's a god himself so WW should be no problem for her.
I know that the cartoons don't always follow the comics but, in JLU Parasite drained WW's strength until she passed out and his powers are very similar to Rogue's.
To Sbo: As I said before Juggs is mystical, not god-granted. True Thor's powers were taken because his powers are not magical. He was born a god. His powers are atypical of any other Asgardian. So at some level his powers are genetic. WW's powers are not genetic. The gods gave her their powers and at any time they can take it away. Diana is in actuality the soul of a stillborn child, Hipployta once had. Diana was a normal human being until the gods granted her their powers. Their word is bound. As long as Diana fights for peace. Their power is hers.
The cartoon (nice to know you still watch cartoons) WW is vastly inferior to the comic WW. As is everyone else in the JLA. They're amateurs compared to the comic. And the Parasite is energy-drainer not a power stealer.
Since when was Rogue limited to stealing powers from those who were born with them. God granted, mystical or magical, whatever you want to call them,they were powers given to WW, juggs, Thor by some other entity. Rogue has taken magical powers before from others and so WW is no different. The power level of the person that she's trying to absorb is what makes the difference.
I saw bizarro break WW's lasso in one story and then proceed to beat Wonder woman to a pulp. I didn't read the issue so I don't know the details behind it. But Bizarro is stronger than Rogue, so even if he could break it Rogue shouldn't be able to.
Wonder Woman's power is apparently terribly inconcise when reading the post in the Wonder Woman vs. Hulk thread. The first Wonder Woman would be roadkill in this fight. The current Wonder Woman has been pitted against gods (i.e. Shazam in War of the Gods), but likewise had a decent workout with Deathstroke (only enhanced human) in a normal fight. Who can figure this one?
Wonder Woman is an amazon, which apparently specified here is endowed by the power of the gods, but she is not a god herself. If it was proven that Rogue couldn't absorb Wonder Woman's powers, she would probably at least have a chance in taking her consciousness (al la Carol Danvers).
The Greek Gods ARE supreme spiritual beings. They created the earth with the help of other gods like the Hindu and Egyptian Pantheon. They possess infinite powers and rend time/space/and reality. Read Greek Mythology. Everything they did in our mythology, they did in Diana's world. They could create life. They had power over death. They could do anything. No mere mortal could stand before them. Zeus's son, a demigod, supported the entire earth on his shoulders to pass a rite of passage into godhood. DC's GOD is the Source. The Source is in everything and everyone. The Source gave birth to any other god in the DC Universe. The Greek Gods are phenomenally powerful and so is Wonder Woman.
Hestia's Golden Lasso of Truth is completely and utterly indestructible, unbreakable, and immutable. This has been said countless times in the DC comics. Doomsday, Superman, and Captain Marvel could break the lasso. Darkseid couldn't break the lasso. Rogue doesn't have hope in heaven of breaking it.
Supessucks, as anyone can plainly see from reading your previous threads, you don't know anything about Wonder Woman. Please research before making such unfound statements.
First, why does Rogue need to break the lasso in the first place? The bigger question is whether the lasso can affect Rogue "mentally" in the fight. She is after all, part alien. If Wonder Woman is indeed enhanced by this specified power of the gods, it doesn't necessarily mean it protects her from her mortal qualities (i.e. her mind). Otherwise, she would be realtered as Silver Surfer was to Galactus.
And as to the Storm comment, apparently you underestimate her abilities.
Rogue is partly Kree after absorbing Carol Danvers. Rogue cannot absorb her powers but her mind is another issue. Rogue could absorb Wonder Woman's psyche rendering her comatose, IF Rogue's mind is stronger than Wonder Woman. They are many people who have overcome Rogue's psyche (i.e. Mystique, the Brood Queen, the Thing) Rogue's psyche has to battle WW's psyche for control. It depends who has more willpower. My money's on Wonder Woman.
I'm not talking about greek mythology Draco, I'm talking about the Wonder Woman comics. The gods have nothing to do with this fight. And if Superman, Bizzaro, Doomsday, and Captain Marvel can break it, its not "unbreakable."
And Radioboy presents a very valid point, Draco. Why wouldn't she be rendered unconcious by prolonged contact with rouge. Her personality would be absorbed, and she would remain unconcious for sixty times te length of time she touched Wonder Woman.
I think your fanatical ignorance (no offense) is clouding your logic.
