	Big Barda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Big Barda is a fictional character, a DC Comics superheroine created by Jack Kirby, originally for The Fourth World series of titles.
		In a reversal of the stereotyped female character then common at that time of her creation, Barda is physically more powerful than her husband and is more than willing to use that power in battle.
		For instance, Barda was originally the leader of a ferocious pack of female warriors called the Female Furies.

		For now I’ll just say that Big Barda, commander of the Female Fury Batallion, was born and reared for a life of perpetual combat, on a world called Apokolips, by a Dickensian harridan with the cruel-irony name of Granny Goodness.
		In her substance and substantiality Big Barda, Kirby biographers and scholars generally agree, was modeled on the late Rosalind Kirby (nee Goldberg), Jack’s wife of fifty years.
		After discovering Big Barda, I could never be happy with the run of the mill heroines I encountered in my life, whether they were amazons or violets or wasps or invisible girls.

		However, Oracle quickly begins to regret choosing Big Barda as her operative, as she generates massive amounts of damage in her bid to capture the villains.
		I mean, Oracle's reactions to Big Barda's activities inside Wayne Manor are highly amusing, and my biggest regret is that we'll probably never see the scene where Oracle has to explain to Bruce why she called in Big Barda.
		However, it is Big Barda who steals the show, as her bull in a china-shop mentality, managed to generate numerous laughs, with the highlight being her final line.

		Barda was the leader of the Female Furies, an elite squad of Darkseid's Special Powers Force, a position that she had sweated blood (or at least spilt plenty of it) to earn.

		It's not like Barda is bringing all the tech from NG with her to fight, Sif has a good chance here.

	Hercules vs. Big Barda - comiXtreme
		Their one direct fight (though it was a sparring-type match) had them stalemating HTH for close to ten pages, and WW only won by using her flight to catch Barda unawares (floated in the air, and managed to catch Barda ff-gaurd as she looked around and didn't see WW).
		In fact, before Diana used flight, Barda had WW pinned, and WW resorted to grabbing Barda's bra-strap for leverage to toss her off.
		If Barda has her normal gear, she can fly as well, so in fact WW wouldn't have had that edge if they fought with normal gear.
