Wonder Woman faces off against Grail after enduring relentless attacks from Giganta, Silver Swan, Circe, Angle Man, and Doctor Psycho, with Giganta nearly incapacitating her. Thus, when she confronts Grail, Diana is already exhausted and wounded, contrasting with Grail's fresh and blood-thirsty condition. Despite her weakened state, Diana summons the strength to fight the other Amazon and even manages to block what should have been a killing blow despite her battered state. Their confrontation ends when Diana defiantly delivers her own decisive blow, incapacitating Grail.

Despite Wonder Woman's triumph over Grail, the definitive victor remains unclear, as Diana promptly collapses atop her fallen foe. Nevertheless, this battle underscores Diana's undeniable status as the strongest Amazon, as she prevails against Grail despite enduring a relentless barrage of physical and mental assaults from her other adversaries. Even without her sword, bloodied and bruised from Giganta's assault involving the Washington Monument, Diana emerges victorious. Had she been in peak condition at the outset, like Grail, the outcome would undoubtedly have been a landslide victory in Diana's favor.

Darkseid’s Daughter Is Wonder Woman’s Best Villain and Needs More Page Time

Wonder Woman #6 the end of Grail (Daughter of Darkseid) and Wonder Woman's Fight both  out

Wonder Woman #6 showcased Diana confronting several of her most iconic adversaries. However, most of these villains, including Doctor Psycho, Angle Man, and Silver Swan, are not considered A-listers and, therefore, did not present a believable threat to Wonder Woman from the reader's viewpoint, despite the buildup to their confrontations in this storyline. In contrast, Grail emerged as the lone rogue in this issue with a credible chance of defeating Diana. Therefore, in future storylines, it would be compelling to see Wonder Woman square off against Darkseid’s daughter, as she represents a formidable and believable threat.
