Whoa -- back it up there... let me clarify something for the umpteenth time:
*I* don't have a bias in terms of WW -- that is an assumption some people make because of the times Quan and I have had opposing views, which is more about *Quan's* biases, than any minor ones I may possess. There have been a number of WW-included threads I have not participated in, and several where I disagreed with others who thought she would win/whatever a given subject. Don't confuse me with h1a8, or certain others...
I never ranked Diana above Thor, but said that she, he, and Supes would be in roughly a three-way tie, but with different areas of emphasis, and in those areas each of the three would have the general advantage over the others, contextually. Now, someone can certainly disagree with that statement/assessment, and I won't nay-say them their opinion. But I *never* ranked her above Thor (unless you, or whomever, are confusing the *order* in which I described my reasonings for the order I'd rank them in... which might occur if someone just cursorily scanned my post, but otherwise I said very clearly at the bottom how I'd rank them).
Just wanting to set *that* record straight...

As far as further up posts questioning my reasonings, I based it largely on both demonstrated instances of resistance (or lack thereof), stated-on-panel instances that I recall (even if they were simply *statements*, rather than action scenes, as they at least provide *some* level of criteria for gauging), and related, conceptual abilities (SS powers, while largely physical in nature, have relatable qualities that can enhance his mental abilities -- his CA, and such, that reasonably affect his awareness/resistance to such things). Note, further, that I didn't qualify the idea that SS was somehow supremely resistant, or that he was much above the group he is included with: I had stated that I ranked him first, but not by much, just more as a means of "If somebody just *has* to be first, I'd put him there". Otherwise, I consider the group to be in the same general ballpark, but with different areas of emphasis and advantages; this isn't a simple thing like brute physical strength, that at least contextually can be better understood/grasped -- it's a much less straigth-forward thing, and very murky when you really start to think about it.
