Not as skilled as Amazons? Donna Troy is definitely in the top class of the Amazonian skill bracket and Starfire always beat Donna in sparring two out of three times. This was stated on panel during a sparring session in which Starfire, you know, won.

hell without her flight she would get beaten down by Colossus on the same hand if it was WW with starfires physical attributes she would tear colossus a new one.

Beating Donna and an entire island of Amazons should put her equal to the Amazons... right? I don't see where her physical attributes fall into place against Donna who is definitely on her level.

thats like putting colossus and Cage in the same tournament an they winning and then claiming they are one of the best skilled warriors of that entire civilization.

But... if they won then yeah, pretty sure that counts for something.

yeah it was a one sided mismatch... a Sumo wrestler vs a midget..

Colossus is tough, and stronger/more durable than Kory; she has the advantage, though, in open combat like this, via flight and having not inconsiderable strength. Also, as has been mentioned already, an often underplayed aspect of Starfire that many people who haven't been really up on her for the past 30 years is she's actually a top-tier MA -- in the old DC scaling system (akin to the old Marvel Class ranking), she was actually ranked in the same range as Batman for a number of years (MA:10), and ahead of both Donna and Dick( though he was a much better ranked acrobat and strategist). I'd say Kory via BFR almost every time, if she goes that route, or about 6-7/10 if attempting subdue him over a protracted fight. He wins, though, if it is just a physical power vs. physical power fight, as her skill, while better than his, isn't going to help enough to make up for his being stronger and a tank.

Resurrecting a really old thread, but Starfire won an Amazonian tournament comprised of nearly every Amazon on the island (excluding Diana, Donna, and Artemis).
