Battle of the Week: Wonder Woman vs. World War Hulk

Wonder Woman's time as our Character of the Month has now come to an end, but since we love you so much, we're going to give you another Battle of the Week involving her! While the community votes for the next Character (or team!) of the Month, you can think about Wonder Woman throwing down in one more epic melee. The Justice Leaguer has laughed at every obstacle we've placed in her way and she seemed to have no real issue beating them down. Beta Ray Bill? Knocked him out. Invincible? Obliterated him. The Guardians of the Galaxy? Dropped all of 'em. So, for her final challenge, we figured we should literally go bigger. It's time for her to take on World War Hulk!

Wonder Woman's powerful, skilled and swift, but will it be enough to defeat the powerhouse who has an accelerated healing factor and increasing strength? Will the Amazon's combination of physicals, tactics, and gear be enough to grant her yet another win? Can she defeat him with the Lasso of Truth or will the big guy from Marvel withstand her attacks and then land some devastating hits? Before you make up your mind just yet, please read the rules to see where the fight is taking place and more! If you're going to have fun thinking about this fight (which is the whole point of this segment), you need to read the following because the rules give you critical info!

Match Rules

• Combatants are in character.
• This is a random encounter (no prep for either side) and both characters have standard gear.
• This is pre-New 52 Wonder Woman (she has really impressive physical feats, so we think that makes it more balanced than using New 52) with her standard gear and World War Hulk is unarmed.
• They're fighting in a generic city setting. They're in a 2x2 block area which is unpopulated, but everything around that section is full of civilians and both characters are aware of this. It takes place during the day and they start roughly 200 feet apart and visible. Everything in the city (let's say the city is the size of Manhattan and surrounded by ocean) is on limits.
• Incapacitation, knockout, BFR (battlefield removal, which means knocking someone so far away that the fight cannot continue in the very near future) or death all count as elimination. Making a tactical retreat counts as a loss, too. "What's a tactical retreat?" It's leaving the fight with the intention of not returning to the battle in the immediate future. Going to another spot in the environment to catch your breath for a moment or two or for a tactical advantage is not a tactical retreat.
• Hey, you know what would be really cool? Treating everyone else in the debate with respect. If you think someone's saying something that just isn't true, go ahead and stick to the facts to point out why. There's no need at all to drop insults just because you disagree with someone. Seriously, this is just talking about a fictional fight, there's no need for immaturity and mudslinging.
• If you think the poll isn't going how it should, making an informative post about why a character is being underestimated and spreading the word is far more useful than complaining. Just saying.
• One more thing: you don't need to write an essay to have your post highlighted in Friday's article. Sometimes concise posts can be way more effective than a flood of paragraphs.

Will Diana smack the big dude around and eventually incapacitate him with her iconic lasso or possibly even knock him out of the city? Or will Hulk's pure strength and impressive endurance eventually grant him the edge and allow him to keep the DC heroine down for the count? Who's left standing after these two titans clash?! Give it some proper thought and then vote in the poll!

• The results of the poll.
• Thoughts from the staff.
• Viner Arguments for both characters.
• If we're lucky, blurbs from industry talent.
