    Honestly, I don't think that Natasha stands a chance against Xena. I'd give the Warrior Princess substantively better than even odds against Cap.

    Guns might even the odds a bit, but Xena shouldn't get caught off guard due to the common knowledge clause of the rules, and Xena is probably sufficiently superhuman to aimdodge until she close enough to guarantee a hit with a thrown weapon or even get into melee range and just punt Black Widow into next week.

    And, for Xena, "close enough with a ranged weapon" means, like, a mile away.
    Power with Girl is better.

    Another tempting proposition (btw DK, glad to see you're still here), but I think I'd lean more towards Cap, given that movie-Cap's super-strength and rapid healing/durability might end up being a lot more than Xena can handle (even her skills with a sword are blunted by Cap's defining weapon being an unbreakable shield). I mean, movie-Steve suffered fatal injuries and recovered from them in almost every onscreen appearance.

    It'd be close, like, it'd hardly be a curb-stomp, but if I had to, I think I'd still lean towards Steve.

    Xena versus Natasha, though, yeah, I'd lean back towards Xena.

    Xena's also got pretty silly levels of super strength, significantly greater agility and skill, plus a weapon that she can ricochet around the arena in ways that would make Cap green with envy while frantically trying to keep from turning red with bloodloss or blue with asphyxiation because Xena is still going to be trying to stab him or cut off the flow of blood to his limbs/brain while her chakram is bouncing around like it was being remote controlled.

    Good to see you again, too, Pete.

    Actually, given Superman's vulnerable to magic, I'm honestly not sure if that was a good example.
    I think it works fine as an example. The specific power Xena gained was to kill Olympians (and other beings of divine nature since she nearly killed the Archangel Michael). Superman is not an Olympian or a being of divine nature so Xena wouldn't be able to harm him at all.

    I agree.

    I have nothing to add this thread other than to say you used a perfectly crommulent word to describe Ant-Man's size changing capabilities.

    Well there was a reference to her encountering them in the evil dead comic cross-over. She wasn't impressed but I don't remember the details.

    That sounds like the clone episode where she says she isn't impressed but we don't see what happened.
