This week has not been kind to Batman. While many were convinced that his battle with Mark Millar and Steve McNiven’s Nemesis would be a cakewalk, the man in white has proven himself to be a worthy combatant (at least according to the internet) by taking down Gotham’s Dark Knight. Care to see if our latest combatants can one-up the battle we had last week in an internet inspired confrontation between DC’s Wonder Woman and Marvel’s Ms. Marvel?

Let’s do this.

Wonder Woman

First Appearance:
All Star Comics #8 (December 1941)

Powers / Abilities:
- Superior hand-to-hand and weapons combat skills
- Flight
- Superhuman strength, speed, reflexes, stamina, and durability
- Access to magical weaponry

Tactical Advantage:
Wonder Woman is a trained Amazon warrior, conditioned to battle the onslaught of the gods. Combine that with her years of battling some of the most powerful enemies of the DCU and I’d say she’s got at least somewhat of an advantage.

Ms. Marvel

First Appearance:
Marvel Super-Heroes #13 (March 1968)

Powers / Abilities:
- Superhuman strength, speed, stamina, and durability
- Energy projection and absorption
- Flight

Tactical Advantage:
Having been a member of the US Air Force in her early days and working closely with the military for much of her life, Ms. Marvel possess a great deal of tactical knowledge that would certainly give her an advantage in a battle. Also, much like Wonder Woman, her experience battling some of the most ruthless Marvel villains has undoubtedly perfected her combat skills.

Now it’s up to you! In the battle between DC’s Wonder Woman and Marvel’s Ms. Marvel, who gets it done?
