Does Wonder Woman Killing Superman Prove She’s the Stronger Being?
Diana’s Bracelets of Submission Are the Only Thing That Keeps Her Powers In Check
The fight to the death between Wonder Woman and Superman is the ultimate showcase of Diana’s powers, especially given that she had removedher Bracelets of Submissionin an effort to harness enough strength to stop the nuclear warheads. Diana has worn these bracelets since childhood to control her immense power, so their absence reveals her abilities at their full potential while diminishing her self-control to some extent. Despite Diana not holding back, it’s unlikely that Clark was fighting to kill. However, he was fighting back as hard as he could until the very end. This suggests thatWonder Woman’spower levels indeed surpassSuperman’s.
