10 Most Epic Wonder Woman Fights That Blew Fans' Minds

9. Wonder Woman Versus Ares

Wonder Woman vs Darkseid
DC Comics

Wonder Woman's oldest supervillain is Ares. Ares isn't just a great warrior. He's the God of War. His very presence makes people prone to violence. He becomes more powerful when people die in battle. During war times, he can grow to a colossal size. He can use any weapon without practice and is invulnerable to all conventional weapons. As a result, Wonder Woman cannot defeat him through normal means. To best him in battle, she usually has to outsmart him.

In the story, The Ares Onslaught, the God of War prepared for his final attack upon humanity. He vowed to create a war so epic, it would end mankind. Wonder Woman pointed out that if there were no men to make war, Ares would cease to exist. Realising that he would be powerless if violence ceased on Earth, Ares had no choice but to retreat.

If anything, this confrontation is worth mentioning because it shows that Wonder Woman's strength isn't in her fists, but in her wisdom.
