Golden Age Wonder Woman Strength

[Agnaa]

Hey gamers, an off-site acquaintance of mine pointed out an issue with Golden Age Wonder Woman's attack potency, striking strength, and lifting strength. Looking into it myself, it does seem concerning.

Essentially, the scan for it is a preview page from the comic, an interstition between two storylines. Within the actual events of the comic, which ignore that panel (as shown by this preceding story page and this following story page breaking continuity with it), that feat doesn't happen, and instead, she pulls the star with the Invisible Plane. If anyone wishes to read this themselves, it's from Wonder Woman (1942) Issue #58.

I'm not sure what feats that should be replaced with; help on that front would be appreciated. (EDIT 1: I'm gonna start looking through some and cataloguing them here)

This would also change Superman (Earth-Two)'s Late Golden Age Lifting Strength. In looking for other pages this might affect, I saw that Giganta (Post-Crisis)'s page links to this Wonder Woman once, but otherwise links to the Post-Crisis one; I'll assume that link was incorrect, and correct it to PC.

EDIT 2: Looks like her weakness section also needs some touching up. Depending on how long this thread takes, I might do that here, or in a new thread.

F

But for Superman during the GA I think his next best feat is moving a Pluto sized planet in Superman #58 (1949) and throwing a moon at another moon hard enough to cause a new star to form. Additional in Superman #66 (1950) he pushes a planet the size of Earth into a smaller planet, with the force shattering both of them. In Superman #72 he also moves a dead planet at FTL speeds, but other than causing an eclipse I'm not sure if we can get a size from it. All would be before the 1952-1956 cut off date in terms of useability.

Currently focusing on finding replacements for Wonder Woman. If no-one's helped with those Superman feats by the time I'm done, I can try to find and calc 'em.

In WW #38 she moves an island that when removed from Earth, created the entire pacific ocean and then yeeted a planet destroying asteroid into deep space.

EDIT: Added scans

EDIT 2: In WW#72 she also moves the moon into another dimension after it was teleported there. The plane still flying, but the narration notes that the moon is only moving because of Wonder Woman

Thanks a lot to both of you for helping out.

I have no problems with your suggestions here.

I only know Green Lantern stuff to some degree but I'm fine with removing the feat and updating her page accordingly to what valid feats are found as well as updating pages that scale to her. I myself don't know any feats but if valid feats are found, it has my support. Sorry I can't be of much help.

I assume you'd also want some of these feats to be calculated?

The ones which we end up selecting for use on profiles, yeah.

Randomhelper323 had calculated the energy required to push the Moon out of its orbit as Multi-Continental level. Naturally, it is not as high as that star feat and strangely not at Moon level. I guess it must have taken about this much power to accomplish this feat you mentioned.

As for Ls: NASA's 'Moon Fact Sheet' page states that the average orbital speed of the moon is 1022 m/s. If we assume that its speed is the same as its acceralation:

1022 × 7.342e+22=7.503524e+25 N=7.6488522e+24 kgf Class Y Not bad.

I'd hoped to have made this more comprehensive, but I don't think I have the time/interest to continue collecting Wonder Woman feats.

I've still collected a lot, probably enough to be generally representative of where she lands. Key points:

• She regularly reaches into Tier 8 with direct SS feats, often enough to outweigh any anti-feats below.
• She regularly reaches into Class M and beyond with direct LS feats, occasionally reaching as high as Class Z, often enough to outweigh any anti-feats below.
• Her highest lifting feats occur at FTL speeds, leading them to double as SS feats around Planet level.
• Among entities with profiles, she has feats scaling her to Superman, The Spectre, and the Green Lantern Power Ring. I'm going to leave it up to others more knowledgeable on our scaling standards to determine which of these are legitimate.

I'd appreciate help from more knowledgeable users in choosing specific feats and scaling to update her profile to.

Also, during that reading I noticed that her Weaknesses section was off, but some recent edits by a new user have altered it to something I consider appropriate. I'm not sure what the best course of action is here, but I'd be content with just sanctifying the changes here (albeit tidying up or perhaps rolling back changes to other sections), and warning the user to make a CRT for that sort of thing in the future.

I'm not sure if you'll find one, since the GA is one of the least understood/known about eras. If anything by the virtue of reading a few comics you'd be one of the most knowledgeable people here.

On my end since the GA is known for its rampant power creep as the era went forward, we may want to use her at the end of the GA. Which would just he Superman AP/Speed scaling + Her Moon/Asteroid Lifting Strength.
