A rumble that just popped into my head.
We're going with the Post-Crisis version of both characters (because I have no idea what state they're in right now).
Standard arena match.
Maxima from Almerac takes on Big Barda from Apokolips.
Who wins?

Obligatory mention of Mega-Rod to just get it out of the way. You may all continue.
Why are we here?
"Superboy Prime (the yelling guy if he needs clarification)..." - Postmania
"...dropping an orca whale made of fire on your enemies is a pretty strong opening move." - Nik
"Why throw punches when you can be making everyone around you sterile mutant corpses?" - Pendaran, regarding Dr. Fate
Comes down to whether or not the mother box can passively prevent itself and the mega rod from being telekinetically yanked away. I think Bards is stronger and tougher but Maxima is probably faster and her psi powers are legit.
They've both kind of varied a lot, even just in the post-crisis era.
I think Maxima just has more options to play with here and maybe slightly higher consistent feats from my hazy memory.
Motherbox is a wild card but I tend to think Maxima has the speed and versatility to take the win.

Does Barda's equipment prevent telepathic attack?

We are the Dora Milaje. We are the daughters of the 18 tribes of Wakanda. We are the teeth of the Panther God. Out of 10,000 years of sweat and bloodshed and battle are we born. We are the women of this ancient land. Deadliest of the species. And our time has come!
It's all over the place really. Sometimes the motherbox shields the user from TP but other times it doesn't. There have been instances where TP has failed against New God's saying that they have innate resistance to it but other times they have been affected.
Overall I would say Maxima's TP would probably work.
