    Default Strongest Marvel character that Wonder Woman can beat?

    This is current, standard (non-OP form) Diana Prince.

    Standard Rumbles Settings.

    If you say current do you mean still including this Wonder Woman:







    , or strictly the Wonder Woman since Infinite Frontier, and if the latter just the Wonder Woman after the Sphere of the Gods or before too?

    Because that makes a big difference, and the Wonder Woman after the Sphere of the Gods has barely done anything so far.

    Do DC writers know that stars aren't solid?

    Magic Lasso.

    Also, I'm not really clear on what she's doing in that scan. She's "manipulating the Sun's gravitational pull" by pulling it?

    And then she's like "It's working," and then we see Apollo doing something by shooting a beam at what I assume is the frozen Earth.

    Like, what is meant to be happening?

    I'll quote someone on this.

    Very droll, but I more meant that I don't have context for what she's trying to do and what success looks like and what she means by "It's working!".

    If she's... dragging the sun closer to her... and thereby... causing the Earth to recede(?) to it's natural orbit...? Like... that doesn't seem to make much sense to me. If you draw an object closer to the source of a gravitational pull, then it will be effected more strongly by said gravitational field. Why would pulling the Sun closer to the Earth help the Earth "recede," to its natural orbit?

    Or is it that the Earth has gone further from the Sun and needs to be drawn closer? It looks like it's frozen so I guess that's it.

    But, in which case, why is she pulling the Sun rather than pulling the Earth? One seems an awful lot easier than the other.

    Without looking at the actual issue, reading it, and figuring out what BS strategy it actually was in context, I must concede that I have no idea what's happening either.

    "Hulk is the strongest one there is," and Wonder Woman can easily blitz him and lasso him for the win. The first Rumble that I ever posted in, over 20 years ago, was Hulk versus Wonder Woman, and I got schooled about the lasso.

    I call it The-mascara. There is a rule of thumb in branding that a name needs to be three syllables or less. If it has more than three syllables, people will call it something else. Paradise Island was too many syllables as well, but at least the pronunciation was obvious. Anyway, I think this rule definitely applies to comics. Captain America has too many syllables, so fans tend to call him Cap or Steve. Martian Manhunter has too many syllables, so readers tend to call him J'onn.

    It wouldn't make any difference if it was. Even if you did that to a planet like earth, the lasso would slice right through it like a cheese cutter (setting aside that it is magic and can thus do whatever). You can't exert planet moving force on something with an inch wide rope and expect it to maintain structural integrity.

    I like that we each get offended by a totally different aspect there.

    I'm also a huge fan of this lasso stretching a hundred million miles or so, and doing it vastly faster than light, yet still chilling out clipped onto her waist most of the time.

    Pretty sure her lasso has been changing sizes for years, depending on her need IIRC.

    Nevermind, found it myself. It's wonder Woman Black and Gold #3. It's an anothology, and this is the third story

    Summary

    Earth has been knocked out of it's orbit and is now flying close to the sun.

    Diana remember Apollo making a threat to burn the world and goes to get him to stop this shit. Apollo refuses, blasts her, and then the pages happen.

    Apollo uses his powers to move the planet back into position...and then it starts mvoing towards the sun again. Turns out that Apollo's threat was actually a prophecy. It seems that Greenhouse gases, in addition to trapping heat, also causes the planet to move toward the heat source. The thing responsible for the destruction of Man's world, is man's world.

    Then the story ends.

    ...so yeah, not much additional info to be gleaned there.

    Since the story ends on the note of "Welp, no way to save the Earth" I'm going to assume it's non-canon. And the best guess I can offer for how that scene is supposed to be interpreted is that this version of the lasso has the golden age domination powers, and she's magically taking control of the Sun's gravitational field to put the Earth back
