And you want to ignore that history is not on your side.Let's see.
Superman did not do well against Protex until He used heat. Flash had to Imp a white martian in order to KO him. All the others were KO'd by fire of some kind. Except Wonder Woman. She beat her White martian hand to hand.
Wonder Woman Stalemated CM before her upgrades. He was doing a lil better than her, but that was before 2 upgrades. Unless CM has gotten Upgrades, I'd say he and WW are pretty even in terms of strength.
I posted a scan of Superman and Wondy holding the Spectre and you want to speculate that She was struggling more than Superman? Well How about I speculate that CM was struggling more than Superman when they held the book of infinite pages. There. You see how easy that was. I just did what you did.
-He can KO Superman because his baseline punching power is equal to Superman's. AND he can supercharge those punches further with magic.
-Why not use a mind controlled JLA? I'm talking purely physical abilities here and not fighting skill. The mind control didn't affect WW's strength did it? No.
-...Didn't Supes have to save her from being drowned by a white martian? 😬
Supes owned plenty of those.
-Character statement huh? It matters not when its obviously a case of a writer opinion that conflicts with everything else that's been shown. And what's been shown is that Marvel can hurt Superman with strikes more than Wonder Woman can.
-Upgrades for CM? Don't know of them being explicitly stated, but he's always on par with current mainstream Superman, so it doesn't matter.
-Except your counter statement doesn't have weight. Wonder Woman has never been depicted as Supes' equal in strength. A close, but no cigar at best. Marvel on the other hand has stalemated Superman in arm wrestling and DC has always gone out of their way to state them as complete equals. Thus, he gets the benefit of the doubt that she can not yet afford.
Again, logically she can't be their equal in ability because if she were she would easily stomp them in a fight coupling it with her extensive skill. And she obviously can't do that.
