Rogue vs Wonder Woman

I agree sbo.

Me too.

Son of Gun! It's only been day and already someone's bashing WW.
*Sigh* this is from the X-Men vs. JLA thread that I made.

Wonder Woman and Rogue trade terrible blows, but the battle quickly begins to favor the Amazon Princess. With her vastly superior strength, speed, and warrior know-how, Rogue finds herself on the precipice of defeat. Realizing that her opponent is too powerful to defeat, Rogue takes off her gloves and attempts to utilize her absorption powers. Theoretically, Wonder Woman is extremely vulnerable to Rogue’s skin-to-skin absorption powers due to her usual lack of clothing. Rogue immediately grabs hold of Diana’s bare skin and begins absorbing her powers. Due to the magical nature of Wonder Woman’s powers, the absorption is not instantaneous but she is by no means immune. Rogue is growing more powerful by the minute and gains several of Diana’s memories, or more specifically information regarding the JLA. Rogue immediately alerts Jean and begins transmitting these memories to her teammates so that they know what they are dealing with. Weakened but not yet defeated, Diana uses a complex martial art maneuver to wrest herself from Rogue’s grip.

Wonder Woman’s warrior temper grows thin from Rogue’s boasting and energy-absorbing blows. Utilizing years of experience and training, Diana launches a series of dizzying blows and martial art maneuvers. Rogue experiences a sense of déjà vu as she once again finds herself on the brink of defeat, and attempts to absorb more of Diana’s powers. Diana is ready for her however and unleashes a nerve strike paralyzing Rogue. Wonder Woman finishes her with spinning roundhouse kick that makes Rogue’s head swivel back and thusly falls into unconsciousness.

Nah Rogue would win "Sugah".

Finally Draco returns!

You fail to understand the fact that while Rouge posesses Wonder Woman's powers, Wonder Woman does not possess her powers. No matter how good her warrior training is, she would be too weak to affect Rouge. By the way, invulnerability usually negates nerve strikes.

No she wouldn't "Sugah"

To Supessucks: This is not true. A man named Vargas with limited superhuman strength knocked out Rogue with a nerve strike. (Xtreme X-Men #3

if this were all true you guys realize wonder woman wouldnt even be a decent comic book charater right?, shes in teh JLA im sure she can take getting punched by rogue without being killed, this is in regard to supessucks post.

After Rouge touched Wonder Woman, she no longer possessed superhuman strength. It would be the attack of a weakened ordinary woman.

THAT would not knock out Rouge.

lightaxe, I didn't say she couldn't take a punch from Rouge.

Draco you are a logical guy, so please listen to logic. Rouge knows nothing about Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman kows nothing about Rouge. Where do you think Wonder Woman would aim her first super speed attack? At Rouge's face, of course. Rouge will allow this knowing that the punch will hurt Wonder Woman more than it would hurt her. Wonder Woman would lose her power the instant she touched Rouge's face. Rouge would gain that power, and defeat Wonder Woman.

I extremely doubt that Rogue would be able to even absorb Diana's powers. Diana's powers are not even her own to begin. They were granted by the Greek God Pantheon. I reread her history and I found that her powers cannot be stolen. The only way Diana can lose her strength is if something happens to the Greek Gods. In past arc, the Greek Gods were taken out by Zeus's father. With the Greek Gods disposed of, Diana lost all of her powers. When Diana finally defeated Zeus's father, Diana received all of her powers back. Zeus himself said that as long as they existed Diana's power will never fade or be taken from her. Rogue absorbs powers at a genetic level. WW's powers are not genetic, but magically endowed. Rogue cannot absorb any of her powers because they were granted to, and only, Diana. The work of the gods cannot be tampered with.

Very interesting points, Supessucks and Drac. Maybe it will come down to the writer?

Rogue has the advantage in this fight. Even if WW is stronger she's going to lose that edge as soon as she touches Rogue's skin.
Even IF she's not knocked out immediately, a weakened WW will stand no chance against a supercharged Rogue and will be quickly and easily defeated.

To sbo: Her powers cannot be stolen. Read previous post.

That is pure bullshit, Draco.
I've seen justice leauge more than a few times. The original version of Wonder Woman did not derive her powers from the Greek gods. Instead they were apparently innate to all Amazonsall she need do was concentrate.

Secondly, the gods are unable to intervene, so whether it is their will or not, Rouge could take her abilities.

Rouge was able to absorb some of the Phoenix force from Jean. Why would Wonder Woman, who is much weaker, pose a problem?

the power need not be genetic.

In the very least, Rouge would take her amazon powers, and add them to her own, making her much more powerful than Wonder Woman.

Rogue was also able to absorb some of juggernaut's power. His powers are magical as are WW's and he's definitely stronger than WW.

WW is goin down in this fight.
