Who's the most ass-kicking-est DC woman? 10/11 match-up

Today's match-up is between two women who have ability to see all. You can vote here Voting is open until 8pm EST. Remember this is all about attitude and the whole package of kickassery.

In this corner, a woman who sees all and would love to control it too. A woman who uses a computer the way a ninja uses nunchucks. A woman who kicks ass in pure bravado and occasionally with the use of Escrima sticks

Oracle

And in the other corner a woman who has to overcome a devil of a father. A woman who feels the pain of others but holds her emotions in check. A woman who has a Titanic amount of kick assery

Sorry Raven, but I gotta go with Babs. She can pretty much wipe the floor with any and all competion.

(Also, toon!Raven was much more badass than comics!Raven. She had a much less passive attitude and powers. When I was a kid watching the show, I thought she was the coolest thing even (except perhaps besides Robin), but I was kinda disappointed by her character when I read the comics later on).

	Same here. Toon!Raven is probably my favorite character on the show, but comic!Raven is probably my least favorite Titan in the comic. Funny. But I've always adored Babs! :D (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	:p well damn . . . I can't decide I suppose if I look at it objectively Babs would win, but I really like Raven too . . . (Reply to this)

	No offense meant, but is there really any wonder on this board who would win? The only female character that's adored as much as Babs on these boards is Wonder Woman. Not that she doesn't deserve it, because she does. I'm just saying is all. (Reply to this)

I'm with Raven. Being the daughter of "something" in a comic universe is a rare feet, and she's the daughter of SATAN!

I'm still banging my head against the wall on why Barbara is still stuck in that gawddang wheel chair. We can give people super powers, we can implement machine parts to replace whole limbs, we can even bring people back from the dead, but we can't even get her to walk?!

	I believe Barbara has refused magical and super-science solutions to her paralysis as long as such methods aren't commonly available to the general public. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 6 comments) (Show 6 comments)

	Bada** is over rated. I'm in it for the character. (Reply to this)

	Babs. All. The. Way. (Reply to this)

	This isn't about a fight. It's about over all skills and general attitude though. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	TT Go! Raven > Comics Babs >>Comic Raven. Sine this is just about comics I'd have to vote for Barbara here. She kicks butt. (Reply to this)

	Yeaaaaahh mismatch of the century. Both in terms of popularity and physical ability. (Reply to this)

	I'm in the minority here, but I'm going with Raven. I'm not even sure if I'm RIGHT; it's just that that was my reaction when I looked at the two choices. What can I say? I like her. (Reply to this)

	Barbara gordon as I'm more familiar with the character. (Reply to this)

	Yeah, sorry, but no. As much as some people hate on Alan Moore, The Killing Joke converted Barbara Gordon from a third-string, also-ran DCU character to a major leaguer whose influence stretches across titles. No freakin' contest. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 3 comments) (Show 3 comments)

	Besides, if you look at the story in a Doylist way it made sense for Raven to not be so assertive, as the team already had two ladies who could definitely be counted as assertive. Variation is the spice of life. :) (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)
