*** "Wipe his knowledge?" How? I don't recall Diana having mind erase powers. And if you say Zatanna or Martian Manhunter, I'll point you to ''ComicBook/IdentityCrisis'', a series that (whether is succeeded or not) showed that mind-raping supervillains into forgetting things is a very grey & unreliable area. Besides, at that point, Max was sure that Checkmate & the OMAC army he created could handle any alien invasion off, New God or not. There may have been options (though I've been remiss to see any that actually could have held water) but Diana didn't have time since she was in a room with a mind-controlled Superman who was in danger of attacking her again.

*** Max didn't have a death wish and wasn't trying to make a martyr out of himself. Brother Eye did edit the footage of her killing Max to make it look like she murdered a defenseless, innocent man but that wasn't Max's intention.

* it's been claimed that Superman represents the farmlands of America's heartlands and Batman the great urban cities. What does that make Wondy represent?
** Women. Wonder Woman represents the strength and virtues of women as a collective. There's a reason she's been widely considered and used as a feminist icon, after all.

*** Thematically, it distinguishes her from the rest of the Amazons, both in her origins (unlike them she is a statue given life by the Gods / an actual daughter of Zeus, depending on which origin you go with), and in the fact that she is the one who is chosen to become Wonder Woman.

* Since Wonder Woman doesn't wear gloves as part of her costume (like SuperMan), wouldn't it be fairly easy to collect fingerprint samples from both her and Diana Prince and deduce they are one in the same?

** Also, Helen's self-image issues are at least partially an expression of her own deeply ingrained insecurities and self-loathing. One does not need to be a literal ogre to ''feel'' as if one is ugly.

*** I'm not so sure that Max ''was'' motivated to think of a non-lethal method to stop himself - ''if'' he had lived through that incident and been fed to the justice system/the media, his entire movement would've been (correctly) tarred as a bunch of murderous hypocrites who only ever cared about making superheroes look bad. Making himself a heat-of-the-moment martyr was probably the best move he had. (Speaking of which: what ''does'' the Lasso to do those who already have a DeathWish?)
