Choose Which DC Characters Would Win, And We'll Reveal Which Hero You'd Be!

The DC Universe is full of heroes, villains, and literal gods, many of whom seem to use violence to solve their problems.  From the sewers beneath Metropolis where Killer Croc has battled Batman to the skies of Metropolis with their Kryptonian protector, DC's champions have fought against every nature of enemy imaginable.  And still, the fighting is not done.  So we ask you, who would win in these fights between classic DC characters?

How far back these problems go is anyone's guess, but violence has been used by DC's characters as far back as anyone can remember. When the Universe was formed, one of the Guardians of the Universe gazed back through time upon it and caused a sundering which spread conflict. When life first formed, there were three of the Endless, Destiny, Death, and Dream, all there to shape the Fates of the first living beings.  Amazons battled against Hercules in the ancient past and the Dark Ages saw King Arthur's court conjuring demons like Etrigan and recruiting Shining Knight to fight against the hordes of dragons and goblins commanded by Morgaine le Fey. So it was that the modern heroes such as Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, and Green Lantern are inheritors of ancient conflicts and problem solving traditions involving violent conflict, just as the villains Lex Luthor, Doomsday, Cheetah, Joker, and Sinestro are also part of this tradition. Tell us who  would win in these clashes of superpowered champions, and we will tell you your DC identity!

Question 1

Who would win, Batman or Superman?

This is the classic fight fans have debated for years, and while it has happened time and again, the fight is never fought to its final conclusion. Batman is the Dark Knight of Gotham, a man whose willpower, muscles, and equipment allow him to take on crime in a one-man war that has spanned continents and decades. Superman is the Last Son of Krypton, a super strong flying juggernaut who shoots lasers from his eyes and can freeze his foes with a single breath. Superman has one weakness—Kryptonite—which Batman keeps in his utility belt. Who would win?

Question 2

Who would win, Wonder Woman or the Flash?

Wonder Woman is an Amazon warrior trained in combat since she was a small child and empowered by the gods of Olympus. The Flash is the fastest man alive, who gets his powers from the Speed Force and can outrun Death itself. Would the princess of Themyscira emerge victorious in a duel with the Scarlet Speedster, or would the Flash’s lighting fast blows strike down Diana with the fury of Zeus’ lightning?

Question 3

Who would win, Catwoman or Harley Quinn?

Catwoman is the ultimate cat burglar of the Gotham underworld, but she has gotten around the globe, taking what she wants and fighting off foes of every type imaginable. Harley Quinn is a psychotic criminal who has teamed up as the romantic and criminal partner of both the Joker and Poison Ivy at different points in her career, surviving the worst of what both brought into her life. Would Catwoman pick through Harley Quinn defenses to scratch her apart, or would the tough-as-nails madwoman with a Brooklyn accent and the Gotham rap sheet smash through all of Catwoman’s nine lives?

Question 4

Who would win, Lex Luthor or the Joker?

Lex Luthor is the rich self-made man who built a criminal and business empire (which, given his exploitation of late stage capitalism and mad science weapons development, is basically the same thing). There are only two things Lex can’t defeat: Superman and hair loss. The Joker is a man whose origins are shrouded in mystery and who takes delight in sadistically vivisecting people’s bodies and minds. Would the Clown Prince of Crime undermine Lex’s mind, body, and business empire, or would Lex crush the Joker like the basic rights of his employees?

Question 5

Who would win, Aquaman or Cyborg?

Aquaman is the King of Atlantis and a warrior who can survive the crushing pressure of ocean depths and control sea life telepathically. Cyborg is a human whose body has gained superpowers through the technology of the New Gods that is built into his prosthetics, a man who can teleport, hack any computer on the planet, and even hack into Hypertime itself. If the two members of the Justice League turned on one another, would Aquaman drown Cyborg in a watery grave or would Cyborg reduce the King of Atlantis to fish bait?

Question 6

Who would win, Doomsday or Darkseid?

Doomsday is the Kryptonian bio-weapon who defeated the Justice League without the slightest difficulty and killed the Last Son of Krypton. Darkseid is the ruler of Apokolips, one of the most powerful of the New Gods and the conqueror of countless worlds whose citizens he has slain and subjugated. Should these two clash, would Doomsday bring a very personal apocalypse to Darseid and his world of Apokolips, or would New God use his Omege Beams to prove just how unstoppable Darkseid is?

Question 7

Who would win, Green Arrow or Hawkman?

Green Arrow is the left-leaning social justice warrior who makes his war quite literal with a bow, arrow, and team of allies performing paramilitary missions. Hawkman is a conservative tough-on-crime warrior cop who uses an Nth Metal mace to beat down his enemies. Would the Emerald Archer shoot Hawkman down like a common game bird, or would Hawkman crush Green Arrow beneath his mace?

Question 8

Who would win, Wonder Woman or Superman?

Superman is often considered the strongest man on Earth. But is he? Wonder Woman is the champion of Themyscira, empowered by the gods themselves and known to have risen to join the ranks of the Olympian pantheon. She also has beaten Superman in single combat before. But can she do it again?

Question 9

Who would win, Supergirl or Green Lantern?

Supergirl is a Kryptonian heroine with the strength of her cousin, Kal-El, and all of his other powers from flight to heat vision to fashion sense. Green Lantern is a title used by members of the Green Lantern Corps, an intergalactic police force that use green power rings to create constructs of pure light and willpower. Could Green Lantern’s ring-slinging abilities conjure a construct capable of bringing down Supergirl or would the Girl of Steel reduce the Green Lantern to a blood red mess?

Question 10

Who would win, Deathstroke the Terminator or Ra's al Ghul?

Deathstroke the Terminator is called the world’s deadliest assassin on Earth, a one-eyed murderer who uses 90% of his brain at any given time and who uses guns and swords with equal ease. Ra's al Ghul is the Demon’s Head, the immortal leader of the League of Assassins who has been killing for six centuries. Would Deathstroke decapitate the Demon’s Head with a deadly stroke of his sword, or would terminate Ra's terminate the Terminator?

Question 11

Who would win, Batgirl or Batwoman?

Barbara Gordon is the Batgirl, the daughter of Gotham’s police Commissioner Gordon who was trained by Batman to be an elite fighter, hacker, acrobat, and all around awesome crime fighter. Batwoman is also the daughter of a soldier who lost her mother and sister to terrorists, made it into West Point, was booted out because of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” and went onto become a self-made elite vigilante who fought alongside her cousin Bruce Wayne. Which of these Gothamite heroines from the Bat Family would emerge triumphant in a fight?

Question 12

Who would win, John Constantine or the Joker?

John Constantine is the magical conman who outsmarted both Devils and Angels, taught the Swamp Thing his true potential, and earned a reputation as the Hellblazer for his connections in the occult communities. The Joker is the sociopathic Clown Prince of Crime who uses sharp knives and poison chemicals to spread suffering as he undermines the sanity of his victims. If the two clashed, would John Constantine turn the Joker into a sad broken punchline, or would the Joker send the Hellblazer to the fiery Pit?

Question 13

Who would win, Nightwing or Red Hood?

Nightwing was the first Robin, trained by Batman from an early age to become a martial artist, but even before then he was a world class gymnast. Red Hood was the second Robin, a much angrier and more aggressive combatant who was eventually killed by the Joker, resurrected, and turned into a gun-wielding vigilante who took on the Gotham underworld. Would Nightwing be able to outmaneuver Red Hood, or would the Red Hood light up the night as he punched bullet holes in the first Robin?

Question 14

Who would win, Dream of the Endless or Lucifer Morningstar?

He is Morpheus, known also as Dream, Oneiros, Lord Shaper, Prince of Stories, and he is one of the Endless who are the Gods above the Gods. Then there is Lucifer Morningstar, the Fallen, who chose to reign in Hell rather succumb to serving in Heaven and who commands the full Legions of Hell to do his bidding. Who would fare better were the two DC characters to find one another at odds?

Question 15

Who would win, Green Lantern or Doctor Fate?

Green Lantern is a space cop with a power ring forged by the Guardians of the Universe to turn the green light of willpower into hard light constructs. Doctor Fate is a Lord of Order who uses magic to protect the world. Would the magics of Doctor Fate or Green Lantern’s constructs prove the more powerful weapon in a fight?

Question 16

Who would win, Scarecrow or Captain Cold?

Scarecrow is a Gotham villain, the alias of Dr. Jonathan Crane who uses toxins to manipulate the fears of others. Captain Cold is the villainous title of Leonard Snart (which, when one has a name like Leonard Snart, makes sense that he would prefer to be called Captain Cold)—a bank robber from among Flash’s Rogues who uses a cold gun to perform his heists. Would Scarecrow terrorize Captain Cold into defeat, or would the Rogue send Dr. Crane to an icy grave?

Question 17

Who would win, Black Lightning or Firestorm?

Black Lightning is the electric superhero of Metropolis’ Southside Suicide Slum, an older hero who is street smart, book smart, and at once both worldly and rooted in his community. Firestorm is the nuclear hero whose powers are activated when the Firestorm Matrix combines two separate people into one—putting them at odds with one another as they are always of two minds but allowing them to change matter on a molecular level. Which of these superheroes would win in a fight?

Question 18

Who would win, Flash or Supergirl?

Flash is the fastest man alive, a man so fast he can travel through time and run faster than light. Supergirl is a Kryptonian hero who has the strength, speed, and powers of her cousin Superman. Would Supergirl’s flight and strength allow her to defeat the Flash, or would he outmaneuver her with moves faster than ever her laser-shooting eyes could see?

Question 19

Who would win, Hawkgirl or Vixen?

Depending on the version of the story, Hawkgirl is either a resurrecting Egyptian warrioress fated forever to be with Hawkman in each of their myriad lifetimes or a Thanagarian alien who has come to Earth. In either example, she wields an Nth metal mace and sports a wingspan which enables her to dominate her foes. Vixen is a superhero with the power to emulate the abilities of various animals from the strength of a rhino to the flight of an eagle. Which of these would defeat the other?

Question 20

Who would win, Catwoman or Talia al Ghul?

Catwoman is possibly the greatest cat burglar on the planet, a low-born street urchin who grew into an elegant and elite professional through determination and skill. Talia al Ghul is the daughter of Ra's al Ghul who is head of the League of Assassins and so was raised learning all the deadly killing arts in their formal forms. Which of these femme fatales would prove the more fatal?

Question 21

Who would win, Swamp Thing or Sinestro?

Swamp Thing is the champion of the Green, a plant elemental who can control any plant on the planet (or off planet). Sinestro is an ex-Green Lantern who founded the Sinestro Corps which use the yellow power rings of fear. Would Sinestro make the Swamp Thing wilt in fear and defeat, or would the plant elemental grow roots from the fertilizer of Sinestro’s corpse?

Question 22

Who would win, Aquaman or Firestorm?

Aquaman is the King of Atlantis, a man with immense strength, endurance, telepathic control over sea life, and armies at his command. Firestorm can control elemental forces and change matter on a molecular level, but struggles to maintain the necessary focus for these tasks. Which of these heroes would defeat the other?

Question 23

Who would win, Heat Wave or Riddler?

Heat Wave is one of the Rogues of Central City, a bank robber who uses his flame thrower to turn up the heat. Riddler is a Gotham villain who has outmaneuvered both Batman and the Joker and who is surprisingly good in a sight. Would Heat Wave fry the Riddler, or would Riddler tie up Heat Wave if a Gordian logic knot?

Question 24

Who would win, Captain Boomerang or the Penguin?

Captain Boomerang is a member of the Rogues, using boomerangs to perform his heists. Penguin is a criminal kingpin in Gotham who fights with trick umbrellas and an unrelentingly vindictive pettiness. Would Captain Boomerang be able to nail the Penguin from a distance with his favorite weapon or would Penguin sink Boomerang in the waters of the Iceberg Lounge?

Question 25

Who would win, John Constantine or Solomon Grundy?

John Constantine is a mage, vagabond, conman, and ne’ev-do-well. Oh, he’s saved the world and is a man with a heart of gold, but he knicked that heart off someone else. Meanwhile, Solomon Grundy is an undead zombie thug with super strength and substandard intelligence whose presence on this Earth is owed to necromancy. Who would win in this battle of magically powered people?

Question 26

Who would win, Robin or Kid Flash?

Robin is the Boy Wonder, Batman’s personal sidekick who has fought alongside the Dark Knight through thick and thin. Kid Flash has access to the Speed Force and has traveled at extreme speeds to fight his foes. Would the superpowered Kid Flash beat Robin, or would Robin’s superior training make him a champion in a brawl of these two sidekicks?

Question 27

Who would win, Black Canary or Thunder?

Black Canary is one of the greatest martial artists in the DC Universe, plus she has the power of sonic screams on her side. Thunder is the niece of Black Lightning and has powers of her own to control density. Would Black Canary’s sonic scream be able to silence Thunder, or would Thunder’s powers prove the more impressive at the end of a fight?

Question 28

Who would win, Cyborg or Supergirl?

Supergirl is a Kryptonian woman with strength, speed, and other abilities comparable with any other survivor from Kyrpton who is introduced to the light of a yellow sun. Cyborg is a man whose body was rebuilt from the technology of the New Gods of Apokolips, including a Mother Box which allows him to teleport and tap into Hypertime. Which of these heroes would beat the other?

Question 29

Who would win, Lois Lane or Iris West?

Lois Lane is the most successful reporter in the DC Universe, the wife of Superman, and a woman trained in combat by her father, General Lane. Iris West is also a skilled reporter and was taught to fight by her dad, a cop. Which of these two unpowered but oh so powerful women would defeat the other?

Question 30

Who would win, Batman or Green Lantern?

Batman is the Batman, the Dark Knight, Gotham’s defender, and the list goes on. Green Lantern meanwhile is an intergalactic space cop who makes hard light constructs to defeat his foes. Would Batman reduce Green Lantern to a fearful wreck in the dark of Gotham’s alleyways, or would Green Lantern light up the night with his ring and send Batman scurrying back to the shadows?

Question 31

Who would win, Zatanna or Starfire?

Zatanna is a powerful sorceress who uses magic to cast backwards spells. Starfire is an alien who has super strength, flight, and the ability to shoot blasts from her hands. Which of these two would prove the stronger in a fight, the mage with mystical talents or the orange alien with enhanced strength, endurance, and flight?

Question 32

Who would win, Martian Manhunter or Wonder Woman?

Martian Manhunter is as strong as Superman, but also has the abilities of telepathy and shape-changing. Wonder Woman is a gods-blessed Amazon warrior who—in addition to having joined the ranks of the Olympians—has also defeated Superman. But if these two fought each other, who would win in the end?

Question 33

Who would win, Count Vertigo or Cupid?

Count Vertigo is one of the greatest of Green Arrow’s enemies, a nefarious member of Eastern Europe’s aristocracy who uses sonic powers to disorient his foes. Cupid is a madwoman whose stocking has caused her to hunt down anyone with whom the Emerald Archer has shared his heart. Which of these two would win in a fight?

Question 34

Who would win, Black Canary or Vixen?

Black Canary is a martial artist without equal who can use sonic attacks from her canary cry to defeat enemies (essentially weaponizing death metal screams). Vixen has the powers of any animal she chooses to emulate. Which of these heroines would beat the other in a no holds barred fight?

Question 35

Who would win, Batgirl or Nightwing?

Batgirl and Nightwing have very similar origins, having both been trained by Batman as his earliest disciples. Batgirl was the better with technology, becoming the hacker Oracle and using to computers to beat her foes and gather information. Nightwing is the more acrobatic, but also has training as both a police officer and secret agent. Were these two members of the Bat Family to fight, which would best the other?
