I'd say Marvel's team is overall more skilled by a decent margin (and they have a few superhuman members), but the Canary Cry and aversion field are hard advantages to over come. Widow has tear gas and stun grenades, and Viper has a variety of gasses / poisons she implements routinely (some of which allow for mind control IIRC)... so I guess that's what it comes down to in the end. Powers vs Gear.

Yes. I don't think she is on exactly par with physically, largely due to the differences in their physiques, but she is still comfortably super human.

She doesn't have an aversion field. It was made clear in JSA All-Stars.
And Kunoichi one has enhanced stats throughout, so she can keep Widow or Mockingbird, perhaps even beat them.

Keep in mind, that was just her saying "I don't think it's some kind of aversion field, I just won't be hit," to herself.
She still can't be hit by aimed attacks, All-Stars didn't change that. It's just easier to say aversion field than 'unnamed anti-hit thing that works like an aversion field'.

No, she didn't say, "think", she knew right off the bat and even said those scientists her father hires were dead wrong. But you can say it's an aversion field, I don't care, just wanted to clear some things up.

That's a stretch. We never really got the chance to see her do anything other than lose to a weakened Titus.
She's strong enough to destroy metal with her bare hands and she was weakened as well through that radiation. And losing to a Cyber Ninja isn't bad seeing as he was fast enough to break the sound barrier.

She left a hand print on some concrete.
Lady Blackhawk was engaged in melee with him and locking swords, so it seems unlikely the sound barrier quip was meant to be taken literally. I'm pretty sure "he will no longer be able break the sound barrier" was a turn of phrase simply implying that he was fast and without his power source his maneuverability / speed in has armor will be extremely limited.
Nothing she did on panel is enough to say she could hold her own or beat any other character in this thread.

It was a pretty stupid comment. What she described is an aversion field...
It's like Superman saying "I can't fly... I can just deny gravity and maneuver freely through the air." So in other words flight.
I don't know that I'd agree that Marvel is more skilled overall, but I'm not familiar enough with some of the lesser known characters in this thread to say for sure. I do think DC's powers are pretty big advantages and they're not completely without gear either- Batwoman specifically should have some gadgets to bring to the table.
I'm a little impressed that this thread hasn't already devolved into debating whether Cassandra Cain is overrated or not.

Like srank says, it still acts like an aversion field.
So for practical purposes, saying 'she doesn't have an aversion field' is likely to mislead people.

The point is it's not some type of force field or anything. It's her own will power that allows her to do it.

That's not the example I was talking about. It was her or someone states she can destroy metal with her upgrades. And his burst speed was breaking the sound barrier. He was pretty formidable, no doubt.
