She can beat BA blind folded. Now this thread should be WW vs. BA no weapons.
Till then WW 10/10.
They 'automatically work' IF she is incredibly faster than him. Nobody has proven that. I've read dozens upon dozens of Wonder Woman comics and Black Adam stuff though I'm more familiar with her. I've been accused of not knowing WW that well but most of the stuff I don't know is from the Justice League. I know her quite well in her own comic. The problem is that all the speed arguments hinge on examples where she is doing things far beyond her abilities as established by her standard and, on top of that, one other example where Black Adam is suddenly performing well below his established standard. This is a guy who is fast enough to trade blows with Superman and with Superboy/man-Prime and is gifted with the speed of a god of speed but let's use one example where he's jobbing for Jay Garrick (I believe someone even mentioned there were some extenuating circumstances even then that were conveniently not mentioned). That would be as bad as if I invoked World War III. I haven't invoked it because its as ridiculous as the examples that are being used to argue that WW would win. Its way outside the standard.
I'll play the game just to show it isn't an irrefutable argument. In fact, I already did once. You are arguing that she can fight at maximum effectiveness while he must fight stupidly. In a sense, you are invoking WWIII when he's in a berserk rage. Your scenario also requires that she catches him by total surprise and that he doesn't even know what her tiara can do. All he has to do is not throw an all-out punch but just grapple. She has no room to throw or strike with force and you have not proven that she can slice his hands off. Yeah he'll get cut but it would be worth it if he grapples her.
And that's if he doesn't just say, "Shazam! Shazam! Shazam! Shazam! Shazam! Shazam! Shazam! Shazam! Shazam! Shazam! etc." (or whatever his word may change to) and start raining lightning bolts at her if we want to go with unorthodox tactics that he has been shown to use at least once. We have seen he can summon and direct the lighting at somebody without changing to Teth. So he sends it at her or at the tiara. Now, magic or not, a metal object is not a smart thing to block lightning with. So he keeps her dancing around dodging until she finally agrees to drop the tiara if he'll stop the lightning. Then they finally start fighting and he kayoes her.
Right now, all this amounts to is that she loses. So someone says, "But if instead she had done such and such..." Okay and she still loses or he uses a similar tactic that stalemates them and eventually the results are the same. Then someone says, "But but but but if instead she did this. See if she could just do one more thing..."
The rigid fingers strike to the throat and all of it is part of her martial training and all but against someone with his level of invulnerability its silly to make it sound as if its a victory move. Plus we go back to the fact that it hinges on a speed advantage she doesn't have.
I feel that what I'm doing is going with an impression or feeling of what Wonder Woman's power levels are in general (standard showings) and same with BA. Most of the counters are extremely high showings for her and extremely low for him which may prolong an argument but don't really prove much. The overwhelming and accurate consensus (almost unanimous but for two people) is that BA takes 8 or 9 out of 10. Your tiara argument could account for that figure based on the assumption it might have a chance to work if she got lucky.
And sorry but that final comment, that it should have been BA vs. WW without her magic devices to make a real fight, please. She has zero chance of winning without those devices, absolute zero or at least as much chance as I have of beating Muhammad Ali in his prime in a boxing match which is so close to zero it might as well be.
