Who's the most ass-kicking-est DC woman? 10/6 match-up

It's the distaff side of the enternal comic book question rivalry of Bat vs. Super. Remember this not about physical prowess, it's about attitude, smarts, i.e. the whole package.
Voting is open until 8pm EST and you can vote here.

In one corner a woman who currently has no book (or costume), but whose fierce fighting and big heart has her fans clamoring for her return to the pages of comics ...

Cassandra Cain!

And in the other corner a super powered woman from Krypton who works, like her cousin, for good. And occasionally brings in support from animals. The adorably feisty ...

Supergirl

	Now if this were a cuteness competition, Kara might have a chance (especially this version). But kicking ass? The answer is clear. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 14 comments) (Show 14 comments)

	This one is a no-brainer for me. Kick-ass DC heroine and Cassandra Cain are synonymous. (Reply to this)

	Sorry, no. Kara could kick Cass through the planet. Kryptonian>Homo sapiens. No questions. At least when it comes to prodding buttocks. . (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 6 comments) (Show 6 comments)

	Perhaps but 1) we are dealing with a protegee of the Bat-God who always carried around a Kryptonite ring just in case and 2) the contest is more about "attitude" than just strength and in that case Cass has it all over Supergirl. That's why Batwoman beat the (magically) stronger Mera. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 5 comments) (Show 5 comments)

	Im going to have to go with Cass on this match up ( but to be fair-ish If we were talking Evil Kara black suit-it would be a more interesting ass a whooping!) (Reply to this)

	Supergirl scan, how cute is that? I might just have to check out that book. I heart Kara, and she is technically a super person, but on sheer asskickery I vote Cass. (Reply to this)

	Batgirl is cool. Its a given. But there is something about Supergirl I will always love. Kara for me. (Reply to this)

	Should I point out here how much I loathe Cassandra's powers? I always really dislike "normal" (although they aren't really normal, they're far superhuman) characters who can do such ridicilious stuff. At least Iron Fist can say "Hey, Magic Dragon Blood!" It's one of the things that really, really annoys me. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 6 comments) (Show 6 comments)

	Powers? I think of it as an enhancement of a human's natural abilities while flying and laser eyes, well, isn't. She was only raised to kill, after all, so such a narrow focus would create such an undiluted talent.

	Sorry Kara, but Batgirl's run was pretty good throughout, while you spent the first year of your existence as a total Mary-Sue/ masturbation aid with no clear characterization, and were constantly shuffled through writers that clearly had no idea what the hell to do with you. (Reply to this)

	I can`t vote :\| I like them both too much! (Reply to this)

	There are 2 Kara Zor-Els in DC right now. There's the obnoxious Jerk Sue who really needs to eat a sandwich, and there's the innocent Pollyanna whose father didn't brainwash her into murdering her infant cousin. The trouble is, you never know which Kara you're going to get. So I vote Cass. She's relatively consistent in her awesomeness, and for her the parental issues work. (Reply to this)

	Hmm if it was Cass during her heel turn I'd vote yes..as the only highlight for me was her fight against Supergirl..with the use of red sun powerd katanas... yes..I said it... So if it was Cass on her heel turn and we're talking rematch...then I'd go for Cass. Otherwise, Supergirl all the way here. (Reply to this)

	As have never had any interest in Cass Cain, this goes to Kara, a character I've always been fond, this match up is no contest for me. (Reply to this)

	I'll have to go with Cass. She's gone up against Supergirl and would have beaten her if it weren't for crystals ex machina, so I'd say the question of which is more badass has already been answered. (Reply to this)

	This is tough, and I have to say, you are stacking the deck with the Kara panels (cute, not kick-ass), but it's Cass. She has smarts; she'd play dirty (within reason); Bruce would have packed Kryptonite in her utility belt. She's got no respect for her body or any one elses in a fight, that is, she'll put it all out there. She is awesomeness. (Reply to this)

	I missed the cutoff, but Bats traditionally have the advantage :) (Reply to this)

	no subject geoffsebesta 2010-10-07 09:33 pm UTC (link)
	It's always been clear with any Bat/Supes fight that Supes wins unless the writer can come up with a gimmick, bonus points being awarded for originality, plausibility, and inventiveness. It wouldn't be any different here. Without a strong story reason Supes always wins. (Reply to this)
