History Awesome / WonderWoman1987

** However, how does she deal with Ares in the climax? She ensnares him with her magic lasso and forces him to see the [[NukeEm logical conclusion to his plans]], which would leave him completely alone [[GodsNeedPrayerBadly and no one left to worship him]]. What does ComicBook/{{Ares|DC}} do? '''''He cries.''''' The most badass moment of the storyline is completely and utterly ''non-violent''.

* Athena and ComicBook/{{Ares|DC}} both get one of these in Rucka's run with them both acting as manipulative [[TheChessmaster chessmasters]] who supplant Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon as the heads of the pantheon. Athena manipulates Zeus into a duel of champions that sees her win, thanks to Diana, and assumes control of Olympus while Ares betrays Hades and takes over the Underworld.

* Diana's brutal fight with a mind controlled Superman more than manages to top the one in Jiminez's run.

** Wonder Woman's battle with a mind controlled Superman. She ends the fight by using the Lasso of Truth to burn away Circe's magic while telling Clark that not to be consumed by the pain he felt over the deaths of innocents in ''Our Worlds At War''.
** Diana's battle with Circe. Not only does Diana easily counter Circe's attacks on her beliefs but she refuses to let the witch bate her into killing her knowing this is exactly what she wants.

* During Greg Rucka's run, already full of awesome, one moment stands out: Diana faces Medusa in an arena match. The gorgon has already petrified the child of one of Diana's employees, so ItsPersonal. And it gets worse: [[BigBad Circe]] has enchanted TV systems across the world, and if Wonder Woman loses, tens of millions of people get turned to stone with her. Right as it looks as though she's about to lose, she takes one of Medusa's severed hair-snakes '''[[EyeScream and blinds herself]].''' Then she takes Medusa's head off with one slice.

** Part 2 has every single female DC hero against every single female DC villain led by Diana and Circe, respectively. What is essentially a DesignatedGirlFight taken UpToEleven somehow manages to be one of the most epic moments in Wonder Woman history. Phil Jiminez's SugarWiki/AwesomeArt doesn't hurt either. Stand out moments include Dr Light taking out two villains with Shadow powers, Barda sending Knockout flying with a punch, Power Girl defeating Mongal, Black Canary outcrying Silver Banshee and Cassie, Monster Girl and Anita Fite defeating Giganta through teamwork.

* In the "Gods of Gotham" arc, Wonder Woman [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu tackles Ares back into his personal dimension]] to save him from the poisoned golden apple Eris was about to give him. Realizing Ares is the only one who can put a stop to his kids' (Eris, Phobos, and Deimos) mess they've caused in Gotham, she manages to convince him into aiding her without using her lasso to make him realize his kids treacherous ways.

* Diana has been paralyzed by one of Joker’s toxins. She spiritually seeks the help of Pan, a God not unlike the Joker. She asks him to teach her his dance so she may understand chaos and that it doesn’t control her. He does so and she surprises the Joker by ruining the punchline of a joke he’s been telling. Learning the dance makes her a little crazy to the point the Joker becomes fearful and downright shocked at how Diana beats and mocks him relentlessly and she starts telling her own jokes while she nearly blows him up.

* Artemis manages to injure the demon lord Neron using a [[ImprovisedWeapon makeshift weapon]] created from her hair and one of the silver skulls of her outfit.

* In the character's first ComicBook/PostCrisis storyline, Diana is fighting the progeny of Ares, Deimos, and is ensnared by his beard of poisonous snakes. Seeing her mortal friends being overwhelmed and knowing she must save them, Diana shows a new ''big'' difference compared to her compatriots of Franchise/TheDCU, Franchise/{{Batman}} and Franchise/{{Superman}}. Namely, she doesn't feel bound by ThouShallNotKill and so takes the god's head off! (While Di has killed gods before, they were always able to brush it off due to ResurrectiveImmortality, in this continuity it seems to take far less to make death stick for gods)
