Wonder Woman ’s great power levels have been research beyond Tom King ’s run , most recently in Mark Waid and Dan Mora’sAbsolute Powercrisis event . InAbsolute Power#1 , Amanda Waller loose a team of tycoon - steal Amazo robot to target Earth ’s submarine sandwich . As part of their mission , these automaton skim the heroes ’ power levels . The Amazo named Last Son sustain that Superman possesses the highest possible baron degree , while the other , Paradise Lost , discover that Wonder Woman ’s power level falls between that of immature Kryptonians and Superman himself . This suggest that while Diana may not be as powerful as the Man of Steel , she still possesses Kryptonian - level enduringness .

I Think It’s Safe to Say Amanda Waller’s Amazos Underestimated Wonder Woman

WhileAbsolute Powerconfirms that Wonder Woman ’s ability levels are especial , I believe that even this narrative underestimate Diana ’s rightful strength . InWonder Woman#18 , she took the full impact of three Mongul - end projectiles without so much as a scribble . Since Mongul has set a significant challenge to Superman , this feat propose that Wonder Woman ’s power levels should be portray much closer to Clark ’s . just labeling her posture as Kryptonian - level does n’t fully capture her capableness . At this point in her narrative , I ’d argue thatWonder Womanis not only just unsure ofSuperman’spower degree — she may very well be his equal .
