The retcon now is that Zonda is the most powerful, but her personality and powers are not good for combat, and Zed would be GV's equal if he didn't suppress himself. I don't know why Zed can suppress his primal dragon while GV can't, but I just chalk it up to Zed being much more mentally stable because he isn't covered in death. Actual plot point too, as Serpentine tried to use the vengeful spirits of the people he killed against him, only to find that he had none. Kirin and Copen can also beat the shit out of GV on a good day. Thank God that Tsuda doesn't have absolute directorial control nowadays and GV faces actual equals.
