10 Most Powerful Characters Killed By Wonder Woman

Arguably one of Diana’s most notorious moments in comics, the killing of Maxwell Lord further alienated her from Batman and Superman and fractured the heroes enough to leave them unprepared for the-then approaching Infinite Crisis.

While Lord is no physical powerhouse, his mind-controlling abilities made him immensely dangerous, especially after taking control of the Man of Steel himself with the intent of wiping out Earth’s superhuman populace. Max sets his eyes on Wonder Woman and was able to convince Superman that the Amazon is Doomsday and has just killed Lois Lane.

Diana puts up a valiant fight against her enthralled teammate but Clark’s rage is overwhelming and the heroine takes a damage as a result. Fortunately, she restrains the Last Son of Krypton by exploiting his superhuman senses and uses her Lasso to get Lord to reveal that the mind control can only stop after his death.

While shocking, Diana’s fatal act saved countless lives from imminent doom and prevented Clark from having so much blood on his hands.
