I disagree. She can hurt any herald, she can withstand any herald's physical attack without going down. She has a unique power set of speed, skill, and hax equipment that makes her peers to any herald level being. Her reflex speed, movement speed, bracers, awesome skill, and magical and telepathic resistance, gives her the best defense out of any herald. She can defend. Yes, she can defend.
She can attack well. Yes she can attack well. Her lasso is a one shot wonder. Yes, her lasso is a one shot wonder.She can beat any herald who doesn't possess grade A speed. She would stomp any lower herald with ease (Namor, Iron Man, etc.). She would beat Captain Marvel and Black Adam as well.
Since it seems everyone is agreeing with you that she is indeed herald-level I will concede that. I've never thought of her as one but I'm not going to argue with everyone about it. As I said in an earlier post, I haven't read any comics that've came out in last few years so maybe she's gotten an upgrade or something.
However, I don't see how she could possibly beat either CM or BA. I don't why you'd think that unless WW has gotten an upgrade while both CA and CM haven't. The only fight between them that I've seen is the one from "War of the Gods" many years ago. Most people use it as a feat for WW saying that she "stalemated" him. I guess, technically speaking, she did but they only fought for a few panels before the fight was interrupted or something. Also, iirc, he was mind-controlled and we all know how that is a disadvantage to said person.
I saw nothing in that brief fight that would make me believe she could beat him in an extended fight. Both CM and BA have Superman-level stats in every category or at least they did last time I was reading comics. Maybe neither one of them has been upgraded while Superman has? WW is clearly below Superman-level. Actually, I'd bet Maxima is probably closer to Superman-level than WW is.
I scanned-over some of the posts in the Captain Marvel vs WW thread and read some poster's comments about them fighting in "Virtue and Vice" and that she was able to lasso a mind-controlled CM. While that's impressive, I think we can all agree that being under the influence of MC slows said character down. When Batman was nearly killed by a MC Superman on Apokolips a while back he thought to himself after dodging Clark's first attack, "He slow. Desaad's control has dulled him". So, there is a precedent for MC characters being slower than usual. I seriously doubt Diana could get the lasso around a CM who is in his right mind just as she couldn't do it to Clark, either... and BA? He naturally doesn't hold back nearly as much as CA or Superman does. He'd cream her bad.
