** "Warrior Woman" is also one that comes up, usually derogatory, when fans think writers are placing her warrior traits/characteristics at the expense of her other personality traits. [[note]]The character was originally conceived as a strong MartialPacifist who would go to great efforts to reform defeated enemies. However, certain later writers have controversially taken more of a "classical Greek warrior in the modern day" approach, at times explicitly depicting her as the one leading DC hero who is willing to intentionally kill people if the circumstances are extreme enough to justify it[[/note]]
