4. She’s Not Impressed By The Gods Be They Old or New

A little backstory: During the early days of The Suicide Squad, the team was infiltrated by Lashina, one of Darkseid’s Female Furies who got trapped on Earth after being double-crossed by another Fury. Lashina started calling herself Duchess and worked with The Squad for a while because she needed to gauge if they were worthwhile cannon fodder for her to use in her return to Apokolips to get revenge on her Female Furies teammate who betrayed her.
So Waller and the rest of the Squad get hijacked by a Boom Tube and end up smack in the middle of downtown Apokolips where they have to fight for their lives against Parademons and angry Female Furies. It is at this point that comic book fans are treated to a true clash of the titans as Amanda Waller goes toe-to-toe with Granny Goodness, the unhinged lieutenant of Darkseid who also happens to be the woman who trained all of the Female Furies.
Now Granny Goodness is a New God which means she has super-strength and is very tough to kill. Couple that with her being a sadistic psycho and you have one mean meemaw. But The Wall don’t back down from a fight and she took it to Granny without any hesitation. The Wall has a brief moment where she gets the better of Granny but it was short-lived and Amanda probably would have been killed that day if it weren’t for the timely intervention of Suicide Squad member Poison Ivy and New God/Justice Leaguer/former Female Fury Big Barda (who had been kidnapped by Lashina in her return to Apokolips). But even though she was seriously outclassed in the power department and trapped in a very strange land, Amanda Waller showed some serious grit and courage in her brief battle with an actual god.


Waller canonically gave Granny Goodness more of a fight than all of Olympus.
