10 Most Epic Wonder Woman Fights That Blew Fans' Minds

8. Wonder Woman Versus Zeus

Because Wonder Woman is a feminist icon, she regularly battles sexist supervillains such as Doctor Psycho and Hercules. Since Zeus has cheated on his wife thousands of times, it's not hard to believe that he and Diana have been regularly at odds.

She believes that Zeus is too petulant and unstable to rule Olympus and so, encouraged the goddess of wisdom, Athena, to seize his throne. To prevent this from happening, Zeus challenges Wonder Woman with tasks he believes to be impossible including fighting the Hydra, the Cyclops, the Minotaur, and the Chimera. If Wonder Woman is defeated, Zeus will destroy her home of Themyscira.

Not only has Wonder Woman accomplished all of Zeus' tasks but she has defeated the thunder god in battle on several occasions.

You might wonder how Diana could hold her own against Zeus. Diana is powerful but Zeus is a freaking god. How could she stand a chance? Well, a god's power is based on belief. Since the Greek gods have been abandoned by modern society, Zeus does not pose as much as a threat as he once did.

Although the pair have been forced to ally several times, it's a safe bet they will be at odds again in the future.
