DC made an error when they said that Wonder Woman was second to Superman, all of the characters above show this error in vivid color.
Well, there are a whole host of characters stronger than WonderWoman, but DC has never said she was second to Superman in the DCU. Only in the JLA.
The characters you put up are mostly stronger than Superman too, but again they are not in the JLA.
Most importantly Wonderwoman is not facing Lobo, Supergirl, Lar Gand, Doomsday, or Bizarro in this fight.
She is facing Rogue, Storm and SheHulk, who are many rungs below the list above in power, lethality and threat.
Diana has been cut by Cheetah in every fight that they have been in, which leads me to believe that she is no match for a well written Supergirl, her body armor is leagues below Kara's
I'll touch on the Cheetah fight below.
Supergirl ....as I said on the other post Wonderwoman HAS beaten Supergirl before, and it was a well written fight.
I even explained why .....their power levels are analogous (not equal, but close enough that their respective skill sets take the forefront). Wonderwoman is arguably the most skilled fighter in the JLA .....Supergirl was a Kryptonian who spent most of her life in a catatonic state in some spaceship floating through space.
Goes back to the whole Great driver in an Enzo Ferrari versus a 'merely' very good driver in a Bugatti Veyron.
Wonderwoman owns Supergirl ....even though Supergirl is technically faster and stronger than she is.
Like I said before Cheetah has done bodily harm to Wonder Woman, time and again.
Yes, you've brought the Cheetah up several times in your argument.
The extension of Cheetah's ability to meet out harm with Rogue's/Shehulk's/Storm's to do the same is not congruent.
Why?
Well, Cheetah is a being of magic (thanks to the god Urzkartaga) who also happens to have high level superspeed (thanks to Zoom).
She is NOT some lady in a cat suit like she used to be before PC.
Oh, and those claws that have done 'bodily harm to Wonderwoman time and again' are magic. She cut Superman just as easily.
Superman was jobbing in the fight that they had. If he braced himself the tiara would bounce right off of him, much like Doomsday breaking his knuckles while punching him in the chest.
Actually no.
You forget what magic does to Superman .....it makes him vulnerable. This is why he has always been able to be hurt by the likes of magic imbued characters like Black Adam, Captain Marvel, and WonderWoman, who have their powers granted via the gods.
This is why her tiara did not bounce off him (as a batarang thrown by Lobo would for example).
You make it seem like Wonder Woman is unbeatable
No I am not. There are very few unbeatable characters in comics (basically the Presence-level characters in DC and Marvel).
Wonderwoman can be beaten, and like Superman there is a WHOLE list of characters that are able to do so.
Thing is those characters do not include Storm, Rogue or SheHulk.
the only one out of the three that her body armor is greater than is Storms, because Cheetah wouldn't do the damage to She-Hulks skin or Rogues the way she does to Diana's.
Again the Cheetah example.
Cheetah has cut SUPERMAN, thus I guess the only one whose 'body armor' Superman is greater than is Storm only according to the logic progression of your post? After all, the Cheetah has cut Superman too, then I guess the only person he is more resilient than is Storm and that Rogue and SheHulk have better body armor than he does. That is obviously not the case, but Cheetah has cut him.
Once again, the Cheetah is not Cat Woman in a spotted suit and a bad attitude. Unless you make Cat Woman have Zoom level speed, and you imbue her with magic from some long forgotten god.
A better test of Wonderwoman's 'body armor' is when Superman hurled her into the earth from space. She was up fighting him like it was a love tap.
