She often has claws that can cut glass and sometimes has a corset Not sure how that is useful but it must be if she keeps wearing it

I think both Felicia and Selina have claws for both climbing and offence.

I forgot about the Arkham City Caltrops however. I assume she might have more, but I honestly don't know all of either woman's arsenal.

I assume Felicia is stronger because she measures to Spiderman?

Then again, Spidey never really fights her seriously. I heard that Peter really pulls his punches

Peter pulls his punches on almost everyone

When Doc Ock was piloting Peter he didn’t know this and hit some people hard enough to maim them

If Felicia is granted access to her bad luck powers, I'm honestly not even sure Selina Can touch her at all. Frankly it'd seem to me like a complete lopsided comedy with anything Selina attempts firing back on her while Felicia is free to do anything.

Without those powers, then I'm not sure who edges but Felicia still hangs with Spider-Man in speed in agility and was fast enough to do this. As far as durability/survivability go, Felicia survived being ragdolled by Doc Ock and then survived this, so I think even without the BL power she's got a strong case to be made.

Yeah. It's kinda a Running Gag that some people see Peter pull a huge strength feat and suddenly realize Holy Fuck! He's really strong! He must have been trying really hard not to kill me!

I recall a comic where he got blinded and Daredevil tried to help him (appropriately), but Pete kinda lost it and turned a nearby chimney to dust with one punch. Matt flipped his shit when it hit him just how strong Peter really was.

His tendency to tell jokes and mess around means most guys are completely blown away when he really shows what he can do, like that time he soloed the Men during Secret Wars, or when he flattened Titania after she'd just taken out She Hulk...though that was more to cleverness than anything else.

I thought that was Daredevil in the Born Again arc, in a move that really hammered home to Kingpin just how dangerous a man with nothing to lose is.

[up] Spider-Man nearly killed Fisk during the "Back in Black" story-arc, after one of his assassins shot Aunt May. It gets particularly brutal, especially since Peter is still holding back his punches there. Peter gets downright terrifying when he's pissed off.

Angry Spiderman. Never a good thing. Very few people really get that.

Now I recall a What If story where Punisher got a taste of an angry Spiderman.

Angry Spiderman has actually managed to do quite some damage to a calm Hulk too, If I recall.

Peter just so happens to punch well above his usual height class when angered.

There was one comic where three jewelry thieves remark that as long as Spider-Man's cracking jokes everything's allright in the world. Cue Spider-Man showing up dead-silent, and the theives panicking because they think he's going to beat them half to death... though it turns out he just bit his tongue and couldn't talk properly.

I'm watching The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and now I'm thinking about ways that Sabrina Spellman might be murdered in a dramatic fashion.

Unfortunately, I feel like fighting Herminonie Granger or Rin Tohsaka might end with her murdering them. HP characters need wands while Sabrina's magic seems to be verbal, with some preparation.

That said she's demonstrated nothing combat-relevant in the first episode of the Netflix show. But she also has years of comic books/spells/a TV show to draw from.

Rin has that magic finger pistol and martial arts training I suppose. But I don't know if she can get Sabrina before she gets a spell off.

I wonder how they would gauge Sabrina's power. There are two television shows, but Sabrina is a comic book character, and I really know next to nothing about what her powers are like in the comic and how the ones in the shows are different to that.

The first show, she didn't even need to say anything to cast spells. She could just think it and wave her hand, and it would happen.

I know that in Afterlife with Archie she kick-started the zombie apocalypse by accident.

I don't want to know what other world-ending events she can cause in a fight to the death.

Gandr bullets can be adjusted to hurt like, well, bullets. Unless Sabrina can withstand that kind of attack, Rin can probably just plink her to death.

[up][up] Then I guess this becomes a "who's faster" matter like Scout v. Tracer. -weary sigh-

In this case i'm pretty sure there is no gameplay limitations like they did with Scout.

If anything i just don't like any OW character to be in Death Battle. Not because i like them but because they have very little source material to go off (This was especially notable in Widowmaker versus Black Widow

Overwatch lore does move at a glacial pace. Widowmaker vs Black Widow definitely highlighted the series' bias towards longstanding characters because they're more likely to rack up a higher number of "Feats" as people call them... Not that I ultimately disagree with the outcome or anything.

It’s not like the character with more material always wins. Scout vs Tracer showed that.

I mean, I know, but that's a really poor example.

Still, I should know better than to complain about a show's cornerstone. I'll just take it as part of the fun.

So... this just came to me.

    In this corner 

the clown prince of crime

VS

    And in this corner 

if you taaaake a liiiife do you know what you'll geeeeet

odds are you won't liiiiiike what it iiiiis

when the stoooorm arrives, would you be seen with me?

by the merciless eyes of deceiiiit?

i've seen angels fall from - blind-ing-heiiiiights

but you yourself are nothing sooooo di-viiiine

just next in liiiiiiiine

    why they should fight 

  • So I was looking up info and it turns out that Joaquin Phoenix is the 7th actor to portray the Joker. Meanwhile, as of right now according to Google, and including Daniel Craig, seven total actors have portrayed Bond.
  • Normally I don't care about this sort of thing biiiut I actually think their skillsets/survivability are about equal - if we scale any instance of Joker matching Batman H 2 H and his ridiculously hard-to-kill nature. Almost, as if he has to die another day.
    • Skyfall starts with Bond getting shot and plummeting into a river. From what I gather Bond is basically known for having Joker Immunity and similar death-defying feats.
  • Both rely on a multitude of guns and gadgets, and have their own "networks" of resources backing them up.
  • Both are known for their equally/more significant lovers (Bondgirls, Harley Quinn)
  • Both wear snazzy, iconic suits and have appearances that fans quibble over
  • Their backstories are scarcely important
  • Joker vs James Bond.
  • James Bond is a spy/agent who, I presume, enforces some form of law and order. Joker directly threatens law and order as a criminal mastermind.
  • Shaky on this one but - to my understanding James Bond is seen as incompetent; he's a terrible spy because of his personality and renown. Similarly, Joker could be seen as a terrible criminal because of his volatile nature and flair for theatrics.

    tl,dr 

Joker vs James Bond

  • terrible American criminal vs terrible British spy
  • uncouth/disheveled/aloof vs smooth/clean-cut/stoic
  • guns and gadgets vs gadgets and guns
  • abusive boyfriend vs ladies man
  • famous girlfriends (Harley Quinn, Bondgirls)
  • iconic suits
  • goes by an alias / uses his real name
  • ridiculously hard to kill
  • extremely lethal
  • 7 different portrayals in live-action theatrical films, as of 2019
  • armies of fans arguing about who should/how they should be portrayed
  • throws martinis / doesn't give a damn about martinis

That matchup is a joke, which is enough for the Joker to get involved.
