NOTICE: This is a Recap page, so all spoilers will be left unmarked, per wiki policy. Read ahead only with caution! You Have Been Warned.

Super heroines have graced the comic books pages and the fantasies of many a heterosexual male for decades, but now it's time for two of them to face off in a Death Battle!. Give it up for Rogue and Wonder Woman!

Rogue has possessed a wide variety of powers over the years, but Wiz and Boomstick are going to use the most well-known version: her original incarnation in the comics and TV show. Her main ability is the power to absorb others' personalities, memories, talents, and abilities with skin contact. She can also kill someone with prolonged skin contact. In addition, by touching Ms. Marvel for a while, she absorbed her powers permanently, which include super strength, flight at subsonic speeds, near invulnerability, enhanced reflexes, resistance to telepathy, and a kind of seventh sense that enables her to predict an opponent's moves.

Wonder Woman was born by gods, and has been trained from birth to be a master combatant. She is the most powerful Amazonian warrior, with super strength, a healing factor, superhuman durability, reflexes, and speed, and hypersonically fast flight. She comes equipped with the Lasso of Truth, an unbreakable piece of rope, a tiara which can be throw as a weapon, cutting through most substances, and her Bracelets of Submission are indestructible and serve a defensive role.

FIGHT!

Wonder Woman throws her tiara at Rogue, whose defense is broken, leaving her vulnerable to a brutal series of strikes. She is lassoed and thrown around a few times, then punched into the air. Wonder Woman assails her airborne foe with a series of quick strikes, but accidentally transfers her powers to Rogue by touching her face. Wonder Woman tries to get away, but her leg is grabbed by Rogue, who gets even more of her powers.

Rogue then lands a few hits on a now stunned Wonder Woman, who recovers and tries to lasso Rogue. She catches the rope and throws Wonder Woman to the ground with it. Wonder Woman throws her tiara again, but the attack is blocked. Rogue leg sweeps Wonder Woman, but she gets up a lands a rapid combo before being kicked into the air. The two women exchange aerial combos, ending with Wonder Woman kicking Rogue to the ground. Wonder Woman moves in for another strike, but Rogue goes in for a kiss and ends the fight with her parasitic touch.

K.O.!

It turns out that Wonder Woman was obviously superior to Rogue. That is until she touched Rogue's face. It turns out that her formal training taught her to aim for weak points (joints, pressure points, face, etc.), one of which was unfortunately uncovered by Rogue's outfit. When Wonder Woman, unaware of Rogue's power stealing capabilities, touched Rogue's face, she transferred some of her powers over to Rogue, and it was all downhill from there. Wiz and Boomstick also conclude that Wonder Woman's Stripperiffic outfit didn't help matters either.

Boomstick: Rogue sure made out in this fight!
Wiz: The winner is Rogue!

Next time on Death Battle...
