A lot of comic book fans like to discuss who would win in fights between DC and Marvel characters – Superman vs. Thor or Batman vs. Wolverine, for example – but it’s very rare that fights between female characters from each brand are discussed.
With that in mind, we thought we’d take arguably the two best known female characters from each company – Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel – and pit them against each other – and we want to know what YOU think about who would win (assuming that both characters were going all-out to do so).
We’ll give our views on the matter by breaking down their different powers and comparing them to each other, but the main point of this article is that we want to hear from YOU in the comments.
Note that Captain Marvel AKA Carol Danvers has operated under different names (Ms. Marvel etc), but generally with the same powers, so feats under all her guises are applicable (except, as Binary, she had better energy-based power showings). Here are our thoughts.
Strength
Both Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel possess great strength, but there’s little doubting whose is the greatest.
Wonder Woman was lifting entire temples when she was a little girl, she has held back forces that would otherwise have destroyed entire planets, it has been said that a punch of hers at 10% of her capacity could fire an opponent to Pluto, she has lifted the Spectre himself (he is said to weigh a near-infinite amount), she regularly tussles with Superman-level characters, has pulled Martian Manhunter out of a black hole and she has specifically stated that she’s never found an upper-limit to her strength.
Captain Marvel has used various vehicles as weapons (both melee and projectile) such as cars and trucks (it almost seems to be her “thing”), while she has deflected a tank that was flung at her, lifted a train whilst weakened, supported the weight of a very large building and punched hard enough to knock the likes of Stature out.
Captain Marvel’s strength is impressive, but it’s not even close to being as impressive as Wonder Woman’s.
Winner: Wonder Woman.
