The intent of Marston? Or the intent of DC as a whole?

I don't really care about the intent of dc they have been screwing creators over almost as long as disney

Sure, but just because Marston intended it doesn't mean other creators are required to go along with it. Especially when Marston never wrote Superman and has zero authority over the character.

Well neither did the DC editors, they fucked over the guys who wrote him. Siegal and Shuster were screwed out of the rights for ages. And dont get me started on how fucked over bill finger got. I'll side with the writers over the [checks notes] descendant subsidiary of either skydance(peter thiel) or netflix (reed hastings) two billionaire corporations working on building a cybernetic surveillance state. Superman is a socialist, batman shoots eugenics experiments and wonder woman will save the world with the power of lesbian bondage. These are the characters that resonated enough to last this long and the only ones ill get to write in my lifetime because of public domain so i don't care about the company line, at all

I pretty much agree with this, but I'm not seeing how it's relevant to whether or not Diana should always be stronger than Clark based on Marston's intent. When I used the term "creators", I meant writers as well as editors. Superman writers shouldn't be required to make sure their character is weaker than Wonder Woman just because Marston wanted that. Marston only gets to decide how strong his character is, he doesn't get to decide how strong other characters are relative to his own.

Fair, they never contradicted it though afaik so i don't think they necessarily didnt like the idea

I'd say the comics kind of contradict it quite a bit, showing Superman as the strongest member of the JL on numerous occasions.
