Both champions left everything they had on the pitch, but Themyscira’s chosen proved stronger that day than Darkseid’s. Not a word is exchanged for ten whole pages as every Amazon in Diana’s own Paradise cheers on the violence, until a winner emerges. Barda’s idea of commiserating with her girlfriends is high stakes, no holds barred combat. That’s exactly what Barda did to take her mind off Mister Miracle in 1996’s Mister Miracle #6. What can you possibly do to create some distance and blow off some steam? Well, why not fight the Champion of the Amazons? Lucky you, right? Except your husband has become the living Anti-Life Equation and it’s created a little bit of a rift in your domestic paradise. Imagine, for a moment, that you’re Big Barda, former leader of Darkseid’s Female Furies and one half of the Fourth World’s hottest power couple. In the future, when appeals to reason fail, Diana has managed to best Ares through pure emotion, proving that Diana isn’t just a master of logic, but pathos. It turns out that if you’re a war god, the drawback to the war to end all wars is that afterwards…there are no more wars. In this first battle, Diana binds Ares with the Lasso of Truth long enough for him to recognize what the consequences of the nuclear war he seeks would be: a barren, desolate world with no one left to fight and no one left to fuel him. So how does one fight the very concept of fighting? Diana’s answer, time and again is by doing anything BUT fighting. No matter how strong you are, fighting with a war god is an exercise in futility: the harder you fight, the more he’s fueled by the conflict. Starting with Wonder Woman’s life after Crisis on Infinite Earths, we offer you a look at ten of Diana’s greatest battles.ĭiana’s first confrontation with Ares in the Post-Crisis world, in 1987’s Wonder Woman #6, was one which would define their relationship for decades to come. She may not always resort to combat, but when she does, any enemy who would dare to stand in the way of her mission is up for a showdown of truly epic proportions. But also, in her own way, a 100% certified ass-kicker. Like all the great figures of myth, Wonder Woman has been many things to many people.
