Wonder Woman VS Wonder Women

She's beautiful, wise and irresistibly powerful. She's arguably the most famous super heroine of them all. She's also a Goddess.

She's Wonder Woman.

In a blaze of patriotic glory, she burst onto the scene in 1941, swiftly becoming a truly lasting icon of the comic book world; a figure of serene beauty that every child can name and whom every adult recognizes. In addition, she's one of the founding members of the super hero group, The Justice League. As Princess Diana, she's royalty and a mere step away from leading the Amazon Warrior Women on Paradise Island. In the 1970's, Lynda Carter played her in a hit TV series that forever cemented Wonder Woman's reputation in pop culture. Now, Joss Whedon of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer fame is writing and directing a big Wonder Woman feature film.

But just how well would Wonder Woman fare against other Wonder Women of sci-fi and fantasy? I'm talking about other female icons of comics, TV and movies; those who personify feminine fierceness, which inevitably attract men and whom women greatly admire. Other super powered women may not be immortals or Goddesses, but they certainly pack their own powerful punch. Granted, it may not always be a fair competition, but it's intriguing to weigh the possibilities.

Let's use our imaginations, breaking the bonds of time, space and context to examine fights of fantasy that can never happen, but would be cool to see come true. Indeed, if sports fans can have their fantasy match-ups and dream leagues, so can comic book fans!

For our purposes, we'll use a 5 GOLDEN LASSO SYSTEM.
5 being the highest, 1 lasso for little to no chance.

Supergirl 5 Lassos

If Wonder Woman reigns as Queen of all comic book heroines, then the reigning princess must be Supergirl. Kal El'sKryptonian cousin, she swooped down into our lives in 1958. Supergirl of nearly any of the other super powered gals would be able to match Wonder Woman in the strength category, perhaps even surpassing the Amazonian's vast physical power. Supergirl is vulnerable to magic, so Wonder Woman's magical capabilities there would give her an edge.
