3. She Has Mad Hand-To-Hand Combat Skills

Agreeing to do a favor for the Justice League and un-brainwash Justice Leaguer Blue Beetle gave comics fans a chance to see that Amanda Waller was more than just a brilliant schemer and strategist but that she also can throw hands with even one of the most skilled hand-to-hand combatants in the super-hero world. And before you laugh, yes this version of Blue Beetle is a skilled fighter. Ted Kord is basically just a nerd in blue spandex with a gun that shoots bright lights and a bug shaped plane. Being able to kick butt is this Beetle’s bread and butter. He isn’t the super-powered Blue Beetle that is running around with the name now and who has appeared on cartoons like Young Justice. So for Amanda Waller to not only hold her own but actually open a can of whoop ass on Beetle (even if he was brainwashed) is a pretty notable achievement for a chunky lifelong bureaucrat.


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