Earlier this week, three morning show anchors [made a rookie mistake](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/07/28/cara-delevingne-awkward-interview) when they tried to take on noted alpha chick [Cara Delevingne](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:CaraDelevingne,00.html) in a battle of wits.

Clearly expecting a bubbly (and rather brainless) supermodel, the _Good Day Sacramento_ anchors failed to grasp the subtleties of 22-year-old Delevingne’s [British humor](https://twitter.com/Caradelevingne/status/626413539708809217), calling her “irritated” and criticizing her lack of “oomph.” After the supermodel/actress/singer signed off, the hosts tried to play it off like they were “just joking” when asking Delevingne condescending questions about preparing for [her role in _Paper Towns_](http://time.com/3957540/cara-delevingne-paper-towns/), but it was clear they were not happy with her sarcastic answers.

**(Read next:** [_TIME’s interview with Cara Delevingne on the set of her new movie_](http://time.com/3957540/cara-delevingne-paper-towns/))

Lest someone else try to take on fashion’s raddest female, we’ve rounded up five reasons why Delevingne is not to be trifled with:

**She’s a** **_Call of Duty_** **Champ**

Delevingne is a highly trained soldier well acquainted with the weapons of warfare. Okay, maybe not in real life, but the supermodel _can_ whip some butt in _Call of Duty_. She’s made her affinity for _COD_ well know and even told [_Grazia Daily_](http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/fashion-news) she prepared for the 2013 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show with a marathon.

**Joan Collins Is her Godmother**

One screen legend definitely has Delevingne’s back: her godmother [Joan Collins](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:JoanCollins,00.html). But the _Dynasty_ actress thinks Delevingne is prepared to take on the world all on her own. “She doesn’t need any advice,” Collins said of her goddaughter in an interview with [_Express_](http://www.express.co.uk/news/showbiz/442944/Joan-Collins-beauty-secrets-avocados-oxygen-facials-and-why-jeans-are-a-complete-no-no). “I am very proud and I think it is wonderful what she has done.”


**She’s Playing a Destructive Sorceress in the Super-villain Romp** **_Suicide Squad_**

Delevingne scored the role of June Moone – a woman who comes into terrifying magical powers that transform her into chaos-prone alter ego “Enchantress – in the hotly anticipated DC flick _Suicide Squad_. She’s holding her own in a star-studded cast of tough-as-nails characters – including [Margot Robbie](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:MargotRobbie,00.html) as Harley Quinn and [Will Smith](http://www.people.com/people/will%5Fsmith) as Deadshot – that you wouldn’t want to run into in an alley at night. Or an alley at high noon. Or anywhere, ever.

**She Has a Badass Squad**

Delevingne is obviously a member of [Taylor Swift](http://www.people.com/people/taylor%5Fswift)‘s [famous squad](http://www.people.com/article/taylor-swift-chicago-models-sam-hunt-andy-grammer-serayah). But the _Paper Towns_ star has a seriously intimidating gang of cohorts herself: she’s done nude photo shoots with [Kate Moss](http://www.people.com/people/kate%5Fmoss); FaceTimes with [Tyler, the Creator](https://instagram.com/p/wfJ7RLjKM9/); and is more than happy to let [RiRi](http://www.people.com/people/rihanna/) [grope her leg](https://instagram.com/p/wG0-ifjKOP/). If you want to mess with the supermodel, be prepared for her to phone a fearless friend.


**She’s Not Afraid of Anything**

Delevingne’s first tattoo was a lion on her right forefinger. Later on, the superstar proved that she truly has the heart of a jungle king when she casually put her finger in a cub’s mouth. Heads up, Sacramento: the woman has no fear.
