* GodzillaThreshold: [[spoiler:Sovereign and Sgt. Steel consider Grail to be one since she's the literal daughter of Darkseid. Unlike the rest of Diana's rogues gallery who were commanded through a combination of bribery, blackmail, and threats, Grail is acknowledged to be the only supervillain that A.X.E. has ''zero'' control over due to how dangerously powerful she is. When A.X.E. sends Wonder Woman's LegionOfDoom to ambush her in Washington D.C., they explicitly hold Grail back and only send her in after Diana has beaten everyone else. And even then, Sgt. Steel was initially going to just give up and try again another day rather than send Grail in, only changing his mind at Sovereign's insistence. Notably, Grail is the only supervillain in the LegionOfDoom whose appearance garners an OhCrap reaction from Diana.]]
