However, Diana did get one of the better fight scenes in the series. And her use in FC #3 was very well done and true to her character. But yes, while Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman were all taken off the board, Superman and Batman made returns. Diana has yet to do so.

You’ve nailed it: she should be overcoming this on her own! She’s one of the Big Three and needs to be treated that way.

Grant’s article on the main page discusses his problems with Wonder Woman – his explanation may not satisfy anybody, but at least he gave one.

Absolutely right, Supergirl did not lose to MM. Supergirl was clearly winning the battle up to the point where the humans controlled by Darkseid started throwing rocks at her, catching her off guard, whereby MM took advantage. At this point, Freddy chooses to see if his magic word will change Mary back. We even see Desaad, as MM, cry out to Darkseid to help him or forgive him, or whatever.

What Final Crisis #6 where you reading? Supergirl totally dominated Mary, it was the fact that Supergirl was so dominant that momentarily let her succumb to the darkness ‘don’t be so sure I won’t break your neck’. Kara could not win with her morality intact for fear of hurting Mary. Shazam saw this and knew he could de-power Mary. So yes, I think Kara did very well and while not unwavering was definitely the victor of the Supergirl/Mary battle.

but I am a supergirl fangirl so I may be a little tainted. Looking at it though Mary ambushed her with the advantage of surprise, got one good kick and reverted to hair pulling. Supergirl blasts Mary out of a building with heat vision, hits her with a bus, blasts her with heat vision again, hits her with a lamp post, blows her away with super breath and asphixiates her. That is panel by panel!

Wonder Woman never does anything cool in events (Infinite Crisis? No. Crisis on Infinite Earths? No. Amazons Attack? *snort*), so this will (probably) just be one more instance.

In the broader case of female characters, Black Canary’s gotten some decent time in the main title; but very few characters in general have gotten a whole lot of page-time (even Batman and Superman’s segments mostly take place in dedicated tie-ins).

I agree that Wondy has been not felt any love and I disagree Superman did anything really deserving other than fly inlooking pissed.Superman moped whilst thousands die and then got his solution handed to him on a platter to save Lois.Again.That is soo old.yawn.

I don’t know, riding a giant beast-dog with some hideous fright mask was the most “alive” i’ve seen the WW character in years.

I thought Dianna being the carrier of outbreak was in some way her being the “Eve” of the superheroes (first woman superhero) and corrupting them. Like women always do (joke!)

Superman is brilliant gold, Batman is so-so silver, and WW is shameful, shameful bronze. And it will never change. Bwa-ha-ha!

Articles like this one are the reason I love the Internet in general and Newsarama in particular! Where else could I find something to read that so perfectly points out a perspective that I hadn’t even known that I had?

Yes, each and every scene of WW in Final Crisis of late has bothered me, but I couldn’t put my finger on just why. You’ve nailed it: she should be overcoming this on her own! She’s one of the Big Three and needs to be treated that way. If Kal-El can do triple-duty (between FC and the two spinoffs you mention) and Bruce can use his memories to defeat the enemy, then surely Diana has something going for her that should’ve come to the fore by now.

Thank you for this blog/article. I have been feeling the same way. I have been cringing everytime i see Mad Max Diana on page. I still hate that she was the outbreak monkey.

See, and I thought I was going crazy. Thank you for corroborating what was plainly obvious to me.
