In retrospect, it was foolish of me to suggest that the WoL can't be outmatched.
A comparison I like cracking out to explain the Garleans' struggle is 'they're a nation full of Captains America, in a world where every other nation is the X-Men', and that carries over fairly well here. It's absolutely valid to ask how strong an individual person in that world is, but you kinda need to take into account that the baseline 'average human strength' is rather different from what we in the real world would assume.
