Wonder Woman #36

This is from Wonder Woman #36, by Simone and Lopresti.

Tom asks Diana how he can trust her, since she said she didn't love him.

They kiss, then Tom says "And I... I don't belong here." He tells Diana to set them down.

Is Lois "beneath" Supes because she can't fly or lift buildings?

The difference is that Superman is not a warrior - he doesn't see himself as a warrior, and he'd be horrified at the thought of ever becoming one - so of course he sees Lois as an equal, because she is, in many ways, what he wants to be himself.

Diana IS a warrior. She's also a diplomat, because she's motivated to be a warrior by the desire for peace, but she DOES see herself as a warrior, and she needs someone who, even if he doesn't have superpowers, can hold his own against her in that regard (see also: Batman).

I agree she would be more attracted to someone who is a warrior and a fighter, because that's the lifestyle she knows. And that's proved true of her in many different boyfriends over the years. Steve Trevor. Tom Tressor. (Wasn't Trevor whatsisname, her African-American would-be flame, a security expert for the UN?) People from a military or intelligence background. From a warrior culture, she would understand that type of person. I would submit that Batman is not military enough, though. She would be attracted to a Thor (who's a warrior) or a Captain America (who's a soldier) but not as much a lone vigilante, no matter how disciplined.
And I would submit they needn't be equals, even in that regard, just on the same page and with the same ideals.

	I ship Wonder Woman and Captain America pretty hard, I'll tell you. Prettiest dullest couple ever. And they co-ordinate. (Reply to this) (Parent)

I wasn't a huge fan of Trevor Barnes, but I liked the idea of her falling for someone who was skilled in a completely different arena. Also, Batman? Really? She throws him around like a ragdoll.
