@deuscarnivoro: I understabd your logic. But We took a long detour from the point. I understand that you feel ww should have more feats showing her power. My case is that you should not under sell WW compared to sg in the current continuity. Because with the way things have been in rebirth so far, WW and sg are still shown as being in the same strength class.
@deuscarnivoro: i think practical feats are the ones we actually see performed. Not the ones we are told about but we do not actually see. Such as the case with statements of a character can do this or that. But we never see them perform like that on panel.
We see her walking out of the missiles. We only see scratches later, and we don't know for sure what caused them. But we are going off topic. I was not debating Tom King run. I was just pointing out that WW being shown as sg class has remained consistent in rebirth.
@deuscarnivoro: I understand. I think her average level would not be star level or solar system. So far it is a statement about her power in one comic. That is not the kind of things she does on average. I think it ranks as her high end. Like WW facing Darkseid one on one and doing pretty well. While previously the whole JL struggled. Tom King run started with a politic conflict, so she is facing the army right now. But he established from the start that the usa army can not stop her. At least with normal weapons. And her durability has always been far better when it comes to taking physical and energy based attacks than piercing weapons. Is it silly? Yes, but we both know that comics are full of silly stuff. And having a split type of durability, is far from being impossible to see as a reality in the world of fiction and its strange rules.
@deuscarnivoro: the part that says she took on a bareage that could destroy a galaxy? It is a great one. I am not sure that is consistent to use that as her usual level in terms of durability performances. Otherwise peoole would use the logic that superman has no limit because it has been said in a comic. Or ww took an attack equivalent to 10 billion galaxies. We know this is not their consistent portrayal.
@deuscarnivoro: I read woman of tomorrow. Outside of the panel saying she could move a star. We have not seen her do anything like this in rebirth. What i meant with my comment is that pre flashpoint sg is stronger based on showings than rebirth sg. But that is the case with a lot of dc characters. WW included. DC has been pretty inconsistent with many characters post flashpoint. But i think is very telling, that with all the chsnges, they still have been consistent with showing WW and SG as being in the same class. That is one thing they have not changed in New 52 and Rebirth. I think that says a lot about how the heads of DC comics have established the power hierarchy.
@deuscarnivoro: The important thing is that this aspect still is a consistent trait in Diana's favor as far as being placed as a heavy hitter. Obviously it would be better if she could have more performances showing her power, as it was the case in pre and post crisis. It would be good for sg too. Since she also has less showings of her power nowadays. But from all the changes they did to ww post flashpoint, at least this particular part of WW's power level being shown in sg class has remained consistent.
@deuscarnivoro: what have we seen in all the directs fights between sg and ww? That ww is in her strength class. That is a consistent and quantifiable portrayal of these 2 throughout DC history.
@deuscarnivoro: that would be a low end for Carol. But Diana and Kara is not the same case. All the way back to pre crisis, the very first time they fought, through post crisis, new 52 and rebirth. What has DC shown? That both are physical peers. It is not head canon. This has been consistent for decades, in the way that the label that owns these 2 characters present them.
@deuscarnivoro: if you hit enough with a level of force that can actually bypass the oponentes durability. A normal human couldn't do that to Carol. Diana's hits can and have bypass sg's durability. They are shown to be in the same strength class.
