Not close, not a smidge behind, but identical in stats??Or have they always maintained that she is in the ballpark, but not in the league?? From 86 onward? Answer me that.
In her comic and Action Comics. Oh and the JLA. Actually this pissed of alot of Superman fans and DC purists in the late 80s and early 90s when Bryne and Perez decided to go on their "WW is second to Superman!" parade. Captain Marvel didn't show up until the mid-nineities. DC purists thought the status quo would be put in place again...but that was until Bryne started writing Wonder Woman (and gave her a horrible costume to boot) and tooted the "WW is second to Superman" horn again. The rest of the comics followed suit. Particularly Zero Hour and JLA.
Actually the Captain Marvel/Superman rivalry is relatively new in Post-Crisis.
It wasn't SUPPOSED to be this way because WW wasn't anywhere near Superman in powerlevels back in Pre-C.
But her completely different origin suddenly changed the status quo. And many aren't even aware of the change in the status quo. Which makes the whole issue so very controversial.
Maybe Current "New Earth" will restore the hierarchy or something...
