Alright and I think it's a ncie theory but it still doesn't distract away that she directed a powerful skyfather blast. Hyerion's feat was nice but I don't think its this huge indication of his durability being enough to withhold the lasso or her tiara.
The thing with Wonder Woman- and it took me quite a while to catch this- is that her powers are all over the place. Generally speaking, she is way and I mean way more powerful in Justice League than in her own comic. In some stories, she could never take a hail of bullets and more powerful weapons like Hyperion did in that scan. Then she survives a punch from Superman and hitting the Earth like a rocket that leaves a huge crater and gets right up.
Overall going with the high end feats of both characters, I really cannot say as to durability. To the best of my knowledge she has better strength and speed feats than Hyperion though I am not sure regarding the Hype from Exiles. There's a whole lot of Hype out there.
but a punch is blunt attack & so is falling even from orbit heights (unless they fall on a spike )
theres characters even in non-DC comics who have blunt resistance but little or no resistance to piercing/slashing attacks (like Hellboy, Spiderman or even the Blob iirc he can be cut)
resistance to blunt attacks is good but resistance to blades & bullets, thats whole new lvl of durablity

The thing with a bullet, at least as I understand it, is that its not a puncturing attack like a sword tip. It is basically bashing trauma but its moving really fast. Its speed is what changes it from bashing/ blunt to piercing.
But this is just discussion for the fun of discussing it. Regardless of real world logic (because that works soooo well when debating comics) WW is definitely not as resistant to bullets as to getting punched, even by Superman.
but doesnt that depend on the bullet? (especially hi-caliber military ammo. pretty much puncturing)
plus with bullets (even blunt ones) theres a "drilling effect" too cause the bullet spins
Ah, okay then. Well, Hype has the superior durability then as his works against all bullets as well as cutting and puncturing attacks and against blunt trauma.
The best blunt trauma durability feat I can think of for both of them (hitting the ground from orbit) is about the same. It could be argued that Hype was unphased and WW was hurt a little but that was more from Superman's punch. But that's Supreme Power Hype. Didn't Exiles Hype pretty much take on the entire Marvel lineup (alternate realities of course) and beat them all? And the only way to beat him was to bring other Hyperions against him?
