 Diana was unable to defeat the superior Shim'Tar in direct combat; in much of the battle, Shim'Tar gives Diana a brutal and thorough beating.Diana barely managed to defeat Shim'Tar and was only able to defeat her by ensnaring her in her golden lasso.She discovered that the Shim'Tar warrior gained the majority of her enormous power by wearing the Golden Girdle of Gaea; it is possible that the original Shim'tar's superiority over Diana was due to Shim'Tar's possession of the Girdle, in addition to her cybernetic implants.
