10 Most Epic Wonder Woman Fights That Blew Fans' Minds
2. Wonder Woman Versus Maxwell Lord
Maxwell Lord is one of the world's most powerful telepaths. He uses his powers to make his enemies see hallucinations that are so vivid, it's impossible to separate them from reality. When Lord realised that Wonder Woman was interfering with his plans, he made Superman hallucinate so he saw Wonder Woman as Doomsday. Since Doomsday is the strongest being in the universe, the Man of Steel unleashed all his power upon her.
Wonder Woman believed that Superman would kill someone if Lord wasn’t stopped and so, snapped his neck. Although she believed she had no choice, Batman and Superman felt like Wonder Woman betrayed them by taking a life. Worse still, Lord's murder was caught on camera, so everyone in the world witnessed the superheroine snapping a man's neck, which tarnished her reputation.
Wonder Woman could’ve easily exonerated herself for Lord's murder by explaining to the court that he was mind-controlling Superman to kill. However, she refused to divulge this information because it would terrify society to know that Superman could be controlled to commit murder. Even though Lord died, he succeeded in ruining Wonder Woman's life and it took a long time for the world to trust her again.
