Godwave

What does WW's Godwave do? How powerful is it? Who can she go toe-to-toe with if she has the godwave?

omg doesn't anyone know what it is?

There's a thread called Comic Book questions.

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).
I hope that helped if you need anything else on her give me a hollar.

she has some of the coolest powerful weapons in comics I will make a list.

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.

Royal Tiara: Razor sharp, the tiara Diana wears can be thrown like a boomerang. The monster Scylla and god Deimos have had their heads severed by Diana’s use of the tiara as a throwing weapon.
Eagle Battle Armor: Diana’s ceremonial battle armor was forged specifically for her. Crafted by the Amazon artisan Pallas, this eagle-inspired armor allows for freedom of movement in close combat. The armor’s golden wings fold away when not in use, and enhance diving strikes when spread to their full span. The wings also provide additionally shielding from projectiles or blasts of energy.

Sword of Hephaestus: Diana’s sword, also forged by Hephaestus, is so sharp that it can cleave the electrons from an atom and even cut Superman!

Star Shield: Wonder Woman’s battle shield is molded from a remarkable ore once mined and smelted on Themyscira. This rare metal resists impacts and holds a keen edge. The shield demonstrated its considerable tensile strength when Diana used it to pierce the exo-armor of an Imperiex-Probe and to dissipate the devastating energies it would have used to destroy Earth.

Winged Sandals of Hermes: The sandals permit Diana to teleport from one place to the next and transverse dimensions. The sandals also grant anyone who wears them the ability to soar at tremendous speeds.
Gauntlets of Atlas: These bands increase, by a factor of ten, the strength and stamina of anyone who wears them.

Invisible Jet: Formerly a sentient being Diana called “Dome,” the Invisible Jet is now just a highly advanced vehicle Diana uses to travel with passengers and cargo. The Jet harnesses graviton particles- electrically neutral, gravity-defying quantum particles- for subsonic propulsion through air and space. If stranded in orbit, the Jet can reprocess Diana’s breath for up to two hours of breathable oxygen. Invisible to nearly all forms of detection, the Jet is capable of fashioning weapons out of its own substance. Although, doing so depletes the mass of its fuselage. It is not known whether or not the Jet has retained its ability to morph into other vehicles such as a motorcycle, submarine or chariot. thats it..

Personally, I still find it hard to believe that bullets and arrows can harm Wonder Woman, but she can take a hit from Superman. Yes, I've heard of the "blunt impact" theory. But considering how much harder Superman can hit then, say, a bullet, that extra power should render null and void the extra surface area of his fist, making it just as deadly to Diana as a bullet. Good thing, when they fought, he did not decide to poke her with his superpinky.

As for all the things she can use to enhance her flight: just what is her top flying speed w/o aids, and what would be her fastest aided flight (and with what aid)?

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). I hope I answered your question..

Thanks for the input, though much of this I already knew from websites and such.

I also like to nit-pick. For example: deflecting bullets and other projectiles, I can understand. Your "average" bullet moves between mach 1 and mach 2, so Diana's hypersonic reflexes makes sense. She can see the bullet coming and react in time.

But how does one detect an incoming laser beam? You can't see the light of the beam before the beam itself. Further, I don't ever remember reading--outside of fan-made websites--that Diana has lightspeed reflexes (otherwise she'd be like Flash), and even those wouldn't help her to see a laser beam coming.

Sure, one can say, she anticipates the beam by noting the trigger being pulled. But the bottom line is, it's all just make-believe. I suppose I just like a little more realism and consistency than most.

In any event, so mach 20 is beyond Diana's ability? 😉

She sounds way better than Supes from that... isnt she strongly linked to Captain Marvel though? Both have powers of the Greek Gods...

The Moonraker Lazer? Awesome weapon.

That game was pure classic...

"She has even outsped Hermes’s avatar, the roman god of speed Mercury. "

Post crisis she never outraced Mercury. Thats a internet "myth" from what ive seen.

Best she got from him was a praise for her high speed, wich isent all surprising considering we know shes top tier fast.

But -faster- than him? I have yet to see it.

Mercury did outraced Flash before and Hermes looked even with him. What to make of it?
