Also, if his last maneuver is AoD he can Dodge with half move instead of just his step distance. He still would have to watch for "Wait" attacks, but it's a minor concession.

In my current write-up (with a Reduced Talent), his power dodge is 16. However, to do what you suggest (which is an excellent idea), I would need to change Permeation with Insubstantiability.

After all, stun would give him something Supes and WW don't have while 12d damage is inferior to either of their regular attacks.

Do you mean that it is "meh" compared with the damage WW or Superman do? If so, this is what I was looking for. Superman (17d+1 cr) and Wonder Woman (14d+2(2) cut) are supposed to have more raw punching power. Still at 9d, he lightning punches like a LAW and his Speed Bolt at 12d has both Stunning and Surge as side-effects. Are you suggest it should be more for both?

Yes, I am down playing his massive speed to give him a bit more fire power, ST and steps :)
