WW has her arms crossed covering her head. yeah the scream isnt gonna effect her head but can still attack the lower part of her body. even if WW uses one arm to block the lower part and upper part of her body somewhere around around the middle she will get hit.and if her bracers protect her all around her body 100% without her having to block there then why does she have to move her bracers to that specific area when someone makes an attack there ?
Reposting my post from page 1:
It depends on the writer and the prominence of the story: she has been affected by sound and not blocked it with her bracers (such as the JLA's most recent run in with Amazo, around #24-28), but has at other times blocked wider area sonic attacks (such as when the Silver Swan attempted to kill Wonder Girl and Diana blocked a wide area by crossing her bracers). Part of the misperception stems from the nature of Diana's bracelets: it isn't simply that they are nigh indestructable -- they are the current physical embodiement of the Aegis, and can repel assaults (especially energy) with much greater effect than their physical size would indicate. Still requires great speed and strength to wield them effectively, however, against powerful attacks... or strickly physical protectiles, such as bullets, et al...
I've seen a number of "mass" blocks in the Respect thread (and in my limited collection of her, as well...)
