Strongest Version Of Wonder Woman
Vanya Lamunyon
In that universe, Wonder Woman rode a pegasus and lived on Paradise Island. She also had a daughter with the evil Steppenwolf, whom she named Fury. Later on she, alongside Superman and Batman, fell in battle during a powerful invasion of Earth-2, ending her long, heroic career.
Exploring alternate Earth versions of Wonder Woman, it is shocking to see that one of her counterparts is actually a man. The Earth-11 version of Wonder Woman is Wonder Man, not to be confused with Marvel Comics hero and Avenger of the same name.
Most versions of Wonder Woman in DC Comics tend to be heroes, as it is in her fundamental nature to protect the world and be the hero the universe needs her to be. Yet with all that power, there are some versions of herself that are pushed too far to the side of evil.
One of the most villainous versions of Wonder Woman has to be Superwoman of Earth-3. A founding member of the Crime Syndicate, she is an Amazon warrior similar to Diana, who uses her lasso to form any shape she wants, including winged serpents. Married to Ultraman but having a romantic relationship with Owlman, she helps lead the Crime Syndicate to attack Earth-1 on several occasions.
More recent histories show she is the clay formed being meant to destroy Wonder Woman and be a living weapon by Derinoe. The Amazons gave her false memories to help her have a healthy life and become a hero rather than the weapon she was made to be.
For 80 years, Wonder Woman has become one of the most recognizable faces of DC's superheroes and featured in some of their best storylines. And with newfound fans falling for the character in the recent DCEU movies, the character has become big in popular culture once again.
DC has also introduced throughout the years the concept of the multiverse with many iterations of the character and her many counterparts across these realities. But among the universes from Earth-2 to Earth-52 and the one-off comic book storylines, just who is the best version of the character to date?
One of the more recent entries on the list, Wonder Woman: Dead Earth saw Diana waking up from a centuries-long sleep, waking up in a post-apocalyptic world filled with mutated creatures known as the Haedra. And with other heroes of the Justice League having perished during her slumber, she must traverse this harsh wasteland.
Written by Daniel Warren Johnson, he created one of the darkest futures that Wonder Woman has faced and also became one of the best DC Black Label series. Facing the consequences of her past actions and using nothing more than her skills and Batman's utility belt, she must protect those that have survived in this world.
Earth-19 introduced readers to late 20th century England if the royal family was killed and a new king ruled the country with harsh rules and developed a strong military presence. And while this reality would introduce everyone to their version of Batman and The Flash, Wonder Woman was among those who were introduced in their one-shot in the late 90s.
After being abducted by a villainous and cruel version of Steve Trevor as a young child, Diana eventually escaped from him and dons the persona of Wonder Woman. This comic ends with her leading a resistance group against the new king, trying to make the country a better place.
There have been countless universes and realities across DC's stories and comic book issues over the years. And yet none have come as close to the bizarre and cartoonish nature that is the anthropomorphic versions of the Justice League in Earth-C-Minus.
Wonder Wabbit is their version of Wonder Woman who shares many similar traits and gadgets to aid her in battle. Joining the Just'a Lotta Animals (their universe's version of the Justice League,) she helps to stop evildoers and protect the helpless critters of her planet.
Not to be confused with Marvel's Wonder Man, DC's own Wonder Man lives in Earth-11 where the genders are reversed for the characters of the mainline series. Therefore, Batman and Superman are Batwoman and Superwoman in this particular reality.
The prince of the Amazonians, Wonder Man is unlike Wonder Woman as he has demonstrated his selfishness by trying to take over America. However, with the combined efforts of the Justice League, Atlantis' Army, and a group known as the Freedom Fighters, he was defeated, and his efforts to wage war ceased.
Wonder Man wouldn't be the only evil incarnation of Wonder Woman as another exists across DC's multiverse, and she is also one of the more recognizable names on the list. An Amazonian warrior from Earth-3, Superwoman was one of the most dangerous foes that the Justice League faced.
A member of the Crime Syndicate, she resides in a universe where the roles of heroes and villains have been reversed. Wielding the same powers as Wonder Woman and armed with her Lasso of Submission, she can control those around her to gain an advantage.
Jill Thompson was not also responsible for having written the acclaimed graphic novel Wonder Woman: The True Amazon, but also did the artwork associated with it. Winner of two Eisner awards in 2017, it is one of the character's celebrated stories in recent memory and a fresh retelling of her origin that has only been briefly explored outside the comics in movies featuring Wonder Woman.
This version of the character saw Diana as the only person born on Themyscira, and thus became spoiled by the other Amazonians, trying to gain their attention and respect as she grew up. But she would learn the values of what it means to be an Amazonian warrior from a stablewoman, who was the only person who didn't give Diana the attention she wanted.
Since the creation of the limited series, Geoff Johns and Andy Kubert's Flashpoint has been adapted and used for the DC Animated Universe. And it is also the source material for the upcoming DC Extended Universe's solo Flash movie.
Due to the Flash's speed force altering the timeline, he inadvertently creates the Flashpoint timeline where Wonder Woman is leading an army against the Atlantians in a war across Europe. This version of the character is shown to be merciless, having killed the Atlantian queen Mera and murdered heroes like Steve Trevor and Billy Batson from one of Wonder Woman's best comic issues of the 2010s.
While Diana may be the most recognizable name associated with the superhero persona of Wonder Woman, she has not been the only one to do so. And in Earth 6 (or the Just Imagine universe) that title has been adopted by one Maria Mendoza.
Created by comic book legends Stan Lee and Jim Lee, Maria tried to protect a precious holy site from being destroyed and was given powers by the Incan people's Sun God to battle the corrupt Armand Guitez. Wielding a golden staff that gives her the power to become Wonder Woman, Maria defeats Armando and saves her village in the process.
The first and original incarnation of Wonder Woman, this version of the character was introduced in All-Star Comics #8 back in 1942. After hearing about the war happening across the world outside Paradise Island, Diana decides to help humanity and start her life as a superhero which led to some great things about the early Wonder Woman comics.
Since the introduction of the multiverse, the Golden Age of DC's heroes were eventually officially residing in Earth-2 during the Crisis on Infinite Earths comic run. Doing her best to protect her reality from being erased, Diana fought the good fight before she too was wiped from existence.
The New 52 was DC's relaunch of their entire comic book run, giving fans old and new a fresh and modern retelling of the classic heroes we all know and love. Since its initial publication in 2011, it was eventually recognized as Earth 52 within the expansive DC realities.
Since the character's reintroduction to readers in this new world, Diana has fought against classic Justice League foe Darkseid as well as newcomers like Silver Swan, teamed up with Justice League Dark, and dealt with mythical and god-like beings in solo battles.
One of the most recent storylines on this list is Wonder Woman: Dead Earth, which features a post-apocalyptic storyline involving the titular character. In this story, Diana wakes up from a long sleep that lasted centuries, finding out that the world had undergone a massive change during her slumber. Instead of humans, the world is now filled with mutated creatures called Haedra, which are dangerous and powerful.
Nubia is a hero who connects to Wonder Woman and is the Wonder Woman of different universes in the vast DC multiverse. She was initially the twin sister of Diana but ended up getting changed into a black character as she became the first black woman superhero in DC comics. In that regard, she is an iconic hero herself but became even more iconic when she became the Wonder Woman of a different universe.
The fact that she became Wonder Woman proves that she is a strong character. But the one thing that proves her strength is that she was an Amazon assigned to guard the door to Tartarus, which is a prisoner for powerful beings. As such, she is an incredibly powerful Amazon almost as strong or even stronger than Diana.
Yes, we have a man on this list, as there are versions of Wonder Woman from different universes that are men. This version of Wonder Woman is called Wonderous Man, and he is a character that lives on Earth-11 and is named Dane. Yes, he seems like a gender-swapped version of Diana because he is.
However, the thing about Dane is that he is a far more aggressive version of Wonder Woman, as he was even kicked out of the Justice League because he wanted to execute Maxwell Lord. In that regard, he eventually led the Amazonians into a war against the world. However, the entire Flashpoint event changed his universe and turned him into Wondrous Man.
While there have been a lot of versions of Wonder Woman in the DC multiverse, one of the first alternate versions of the character is Earth-2 Wonder Woman, who ended up having a unique story and different from the original version. Initially, her story was similar to the Golden Age and New 52 versions. But she suddenly had a different story that took place in a world that was not that different from the real world.
