    No. ... I don't think anyone really acknowledges that outside wonder woman fans and that one writer.
    I don't think anyone's really worried about the "diana who laughs" or whatever solo-ing the earth.
    I think that's the issue too NOBODY ever wrote a popular story even an elsewolrds of it, its not a thing to worry about and I think he pulled the nanite trick before
    Someone did write an Elseworld story where she killed Superman in battle and devastated the Earth in the process. Wonder Woman: Dead Earth.

    Not that this should have to be a criteria for respecting her power level, as writers and fans should do it anyway. Otherwise there is zero point to putting her in the shared universe at all

There's a reason why despite decades of the female goddesses playing a hefty role for the character, her being a litter among Zeus's child is seen as granting her "legitamancy" rather than being the "Daughter of Hippolyta".
    What you describe has a lot to do with sexism.
