Oh also I forgot about her super cool gauntlet slapping shockwave power that the comics don't utilize nearly enough of. It's like Hulk's thunder clap only it glows!

Yeah, there was some stuff pre-movie that was kind of similar to it but I'd like to see it more incorporated into Diana's standard abilities.

She used it quite a few times in the movies.

Id prefer Diana to be empathic than telepathic. It’d just fit more with her character, I would think.

**CosmiComic** · 03-15-2021, 04:13 AM

I guess so. But telepathy seems to be an uncommon power in the JL

She gets accused of being a Superman ripoff just for being a flying brick. Giving her telepathy is just asking for people to compare her to Martian Manhunter.

Those people need to get a better hobby. It is ridiculous how with WW, it always seems to be a problem portraying her as a powerhouse. As if SM owns the rights to beng a fying brick or as if MM owns the thelepathy rights. For many years now. DC has been doing a pretty bad job with WW. They will hype her up a lot, only to come out short. If they really think she is all that powerful. It's about time they start to actually show it on panel. And stop worrying about who is or isn't "unique" because of a power set.

In DC, everyone gets super speed. In Marvel, everyone gets telepathy (X-men characters to be exact).

Yeah, it would be nice if there was more of an even distribution of powers in the JL and the Avengers. The secondary characters always seem to be the ones with interesting powers. Martian Manhunter alone seems to have half the potential superpowers in the team.

Same, I'd tie to the blessing she gets from Aphrodite.

Empathic means just sensing emotions, not full thoughts, right?

That's correct.

**CosmiComic** · 03-15-2021, 09:26 AM

Ok. I'd be ok with her having some extra abilities besides the basic strength/speed/invulnerability. It's about as generic as it gets.

Sad to see Superman being used as a jobber. He deserves better.
