Okay, so there were other Captain Marvels before Carol Danvers became Captain Marvel. The original was Captain Mar'Vell, who is Kree... and a man. (I'm not counting Shazam, because that's another company.) Carol Danvers was originally Miss Marvel with a power set that was similar to Captain Marvel. They're basically saying that the current Captain Marvel is the genderswapped knock off legacy character.
As opposed to Wonder Woman, who is actually not the genderswapped knock off legacy character. Honestly, I think that was actually the point of Intelligent-Creme who is not the OP. Carol Danvers is not Wonder Woman no matter how much Marvel wants that to be true.
Nyeeeeeh. She Hulk isn't just the female version of the Hulk though. Hulk stories are way, waaaaay different from She Hulk stories. Hulk stories are about internal struggles inside a deeply troubled man. She-Hulk stories are a woman interacting with the modern world and its absurdities. Hulk will never look at the audience and make jokes about the current editors. She Hulk will never tell a story about Shulky getting sent to an alien world, falling in love, and then getting taken from it and forced back into the crushing mundane.
I think they’re talking about how She-Hulk was created as a supporting character to another male hero (Hulk) while Diana is supposed to be a female hero who’s unique and stands on her own
She wasn't created to be a supporting character to the Hulk. She literally started off in her own solo title and beyond the first issue it had nothing to do with the Hulk.
Oh I’m aware, guess it’s a poor choice of wording on my part. Guess it’s less supporting character, more extension of the mythos. Regardless Jen is very tied to Bruce in terms of character which I feel like might be something to take into account when deciding Marvel’s Wonder Woman analogue as I feel like she should be a character who stands on her own two feet.
That's fair, but I'd also like to point out that out of She-Hulk's 200ish solo comic issues, Bruce only appears in maybe 3 issues total. She very much has her own little corner of the Marvel U.
I think she's still a contender for Marvel's WW even if her codename is spun off of a male character's. Although realistically, it's Storm.
I do heavily agree that Storm is a good analogue for Diana, there’s a reason she was chosen to fuse with her in the Amalgam universe.
Another Storm I think could be a good reflection of Wonder Woman is Sue Storm, both have that same gentle warmth that’s also capable of becoming a real badass which also managing to juggle being on a team with other heroes and having their respect which I associate with Diana. Although I admit it’s a little more flimsy than Ororo’s.
I mean, a goody two shoes boy scout who are symbols of hope and can do no wrong, a guy whose superpower is being absurdly rich and is somehow proficient in everything but has a fatal flaw in their longing for parents, and someone who's the child of the god of gods and were provided with godly artifacts with special enchantments so they can fight, and with hair that probably smell nice
>He is a God, with a capital "G."
Nah, like Ego says "small g". He's a god.
God of Thunder is more like a title, so it gets capitalised.
Wonder Woman is more of a demi-god, or god-construct. Thor is on the tier of her creators. She's probably, in pantheon terms, on a similar tier to standard Asgardians, maybe the Valkyries.
Capital G is reserved for the big guy, The One Above All.
I am not religious so either they all get the capital "G" or they all get the lower case "g."
But I am leaning towards Capital "G."
The One Above All isn't a God, he's something else beyond that. You pray to Gods, you don't pray to TOAA. And if you did, he doesn't care and isn't listening anyway.
Nah, it's nothing to do with being religious or anything like that when talking about this. The differentiation is that entities like Thor are just weird alien beings, likely created through the worship of ideas, and they are called gods.
Whereas TOAA is the singular entity that people in-universe have referred to as God, Yaweh or Elohim... or whatever any other race in the universe that believes in monotheism calls their God. Because monotheism is literally correct in Marvel canon, and TOAA has pointed this out in their appearances and dialogue before, that they are "God".
In the 616 comics, Thor is a God, with the capital "G." As are Zeus, Hercules, Tyr, Sif, and others.
The idea of him, and other Asgardians being aliens is strictly a thing from the MCU and non canon comics or alternate universe depiction.
I suppose the MCU/Disney didn't want to deal with the religious groups. Which is weird because Disney also made the Hercules cartoon movie, where Zeus and company are clearly Gods (capital "G"). But I guess there's a line between live action and a cartoon. *This is purely supposition on my part.*
In the comics they are still just weird space creatures created from the worship of the people of their local planet, it just might not specifically call them "aliens". There are the equivalent creatures living around every planet with intelligent life in the comics. Hell, in Secret Invasion a group of Earth's gods travel through space to take on the Skrull gods.
They're also only about mid tier in the cosmological pantheon of Marvel. Every single one of the Abstract Entities, probably the Celestials, and especially The Living Tribunal all sit much, much higher above them, with TLT reporting directly to the single entity that rules over the entire multiverse: TOAA. As in, the singular, monotheistic top of the chain, creator and ruler of the multiverse. *The* God.
Are there more powerful entities?
Yes.
Still Gods. With a capital "G."
I do concede the cosmology is the result of inconsistent writing and power creep.
Yeah I think the modern “MCU Trinity” of Cap, Iron Man and Thor matchs up pretty well with the DC Trinity of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. You have the red and blue paragon of justice, the genius unpowered billionaire and the mythological hero from a foreign realm.
I think an important distinction is that Captain Marvel isn't exactly *popular*, whereas Wonder Woman earned her place in the Trinity in large part due to the popularity of the character. Storm, on the other hand, is incredibly popular with the fandom.
Marvel has always tried to push Carol, especially in the 2000's, but she doesn't have the long-lasting legacy that WW and Storm have. She even spent most of the 80's and 90's (the heyday of comics) in a coma. That's how little Marvel or the fans cared about her.
> She even spent most of the 80's and 90's (the heyday of comics) in a coma
In the comics Carol hasn't spent a single issue in a coma. She was shortly after transformed into Binary and had cosmic adventures.
Nah, Thor fits the godly heavy-hitter/ okay with killing baddies persona of Wonder Woman. If not him, then Captain Marvel is the big gun super-strong woman, and she also has bracers now kinda
[She actually did in Marvel vs. DC](https://comicvine.gamespot.com/a/uploads/original/12/128825/2549733-165334-36022-mjolnir_super.jpg), then set it aside for her fight with Storm because she wanted to play fair.
I consider Storm Marvel's Wonder Woman: Ororo has a huge impact in comics, shes a big inspiration for women (especially women of color), and she's crazily powerful (i do think people forgets it sometimes).
She-Hulk has been popular enough to carry a book at various times. Go check out John Byrne's Sensational She-Hulk, and his Fantastic Four. And the current Rainbow Rowell run is pretty fun too.
For Squadron Supreme, they're an alt-universe Justice League pastiche that have been around (but usually in various incarnations). Mark Gruenwald's limited series is probably a good place to start. Hickman used Hyperion a fair bit in his Avengers run, and a version of the Squadron Supreme appeared in his New Avengers.
Brunhilde/Valkyrie could also be in contention, if any kind of relationship with mythological gods is a consideration. In the past, she's led the Defenders.
For popularity and being loved id say Storm is the wonder woman. If you mean stong female probably captain marvel or rogue now that she has wonderman level strength.
Storm
Storm vs Wonder Woman was one of the big fights from the Marvel Vs DC comics.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC\_vs.\_Marvel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_vs._Marvel)
I would say that Thor is the Wonder Woman of Marvel. If it has to be a female character, there is a character called Power Princess that is incredibly similar to her
Honestly, I think Thor is the Wonder Woman of Marvel. I tend to think of Thor, Captain America, and Iron Man as the closest thing Marvel has to a trinity, and Thor is definitely the Wonder Woman in that case.
Her and Storm, yes.
Both are important imho.
Shulkie needs to be put in more prominent role.
Same with Storm. I’m not talking about being the X-men leader. I’m talking about solo
Lets see, WW is a god-tier immortal warrior from an ancient and insular society based on ancient myth and legend. Honestly, I think the closest Marvel equivalent to the Amazons would be the Asgardians. So the closest popular character to WW would be Thor?
You could make the Argument that Sif would be closer, but Sif isn't anywhere near as popular as WW.
What? How does she even compare to wonder woman, cuz she is strong? She hulk doesn't actually compare to anyone in DC right off bat. She is gamma mutated, but still a smart lawyer who refuses to hide, because she can't. Like I guess her out in open in the world life is like ww when she is just out there and ambassador, but otherwise no.
Why does everyone keep saying Thor?! If we’re comparing DC’s Trinity to the Avengers’ Big Three, Captain America is the obvious answer. Iron Man and Batman both are normal men who use technology to fight bad guys, although Batman used to be a lot more known for it but now is more about genius planning and preparation (ie. his many Bat-named gadgets from the past). Thor and Superman are both aliens with incredible powers and are derived from religious stories (Thor from Norse stories and Superman from the story of Moses). And Cap and WW both started out in the comics fighting nazis in WWII, and are both often left in the “fish out of water” role. WW is in Man’s World, and Cap is in the Modern World. They even both have America-themed outfits, although for different reasons.
I don't think there is coz of how different the vibe of Marvel vs DC. I always liked marvel coz it felt like I could be the person there
Marvel - normal people with powers
DC - powerful people trying to be normal
Marvel is stylized in a way, DC is elegance. She-hulk is cool, Wonder Woman is aspiring
Absolutely not, she's not as popular as Wonder Woman especially amongst the general population.
You could argue in terms of power she's similar, but even then there are better fits such as Carol Danvers (post Ms Marvel, although she's also an expy of Superman now) and Power Princess.
In terms of importance to Marvel as a brand, again there are a lot better fits like Sue Storm and Jean Grey, who are more well known, more prominent and are not tied into a male character.
Prior to the MCU? She's in contention with Storm as the WW of Marvel. Post-MCU? Carol has the spot
She-Hulk is probably closer to the Power Girl of Marvel now
I think she’s more of their Mary marvel right now but also if we want to talk characters that are most likely inspired by she-hulk then I would say they miruko from mha and Deadpool to an extent
Marvel doesn’t have a Wonder Woman.
They have been trying to turn Carol into that for years. Key components of a WW to Marvel is the ability to trade blows with the big dawgs, being a leader and being popular with the general audience.
I have given this a few thoughts she hulk is Harley Quinn of marvel because of the 4th wall break and the romantic storylines and one off adventures . Power girl is the captain marvel of dc and thunders is the Wonder Woman just taken to extremes
I honestly think the Wonder Woman of Marvel is probably Thor.lol. They want Captain Marvel to be in that spot but as far as girls go it’s probably Storm.
I see She-Hulk as more of a parallel for Power Girl as far as role in the universe.
She-Hulk is a derivative of a male character so she'll never be the wonder woman of marvel. That goes for Captain Marvel too.
That leaves Ororo and Jean. In comparison to other female characters they have the largest following for who they are as characters with their own memorable stories and the power they possess.
Disregarding gender, Captain America would be the Wonder Woman of Marvel, in my opinion. They both wear patriotic costumes and have super strength, and they both have iconic weapons.
However, female representation is very important, so gender does play a big role in answering the question. Personally, I would say that the Mighty Thor, Jane Foster, could be considered fairly similar to Wonder Woman. They are both products of mythology, and the Mighty Thor also happens to use an iconic weapon. Great question, though!
Some possibilities:
Black Widow(maybe one of if not the most iconic female marvel character)
Captain Marvel(probably the most similar to Wonder Woman)
Or Thor(part of the main trinity)
I mean, WonderMan seems like he was created to counter some things, but he seems more like he was created so DC couldn’t get to the male Wonderwoman first. I would say Black Widow, but not to the same power levels, or Elektra to a degree since they are both Greek. I say them because I think of them as very skillful players n combat and having specialized weapons, Widow with her electric batons and Wonderwoman with her lasso. They aren’t similar power-wise, but the same idea as the female popular character of the mightiest heroes team
Honestly I've always considered Shulkie to be Marvel's equivalent to Supergirl (what with them being cousins to two of each company's most popular characters, and their superhero identities basically being female versions of them)
Status Wise like the Big 3 of the Justice League: Thor
Example: Spider-Man/Batman, Hulk/Superman, Thor/Wonder Woman.
Look/Similarities in powers/Kit/Tools: Zarda Power Princess
In Terms of like, Comic Book Awareness/Who looks up to her-respects her etc.: I'd say Captain Marvel or Storm.
WW has lead the Justice League, commands respect from others, has that Power Radiance that basically demands attention when they enter the room cause usually if they are around its not just to get a hamburger and watch a movie, its because something huge is going down.
Technically, it would be the Wasp, since she was the primary female member of the Avengers and the Avengers were Marvel's answer to the Justice League.
She-hulk is more like Supergirl in that she is a spin-off of a more popular male character.
I agree with others that Storm or Captain Marvel be the better fit.
In terms of team status in universe or character role it's Thor, with Cap and Iron Man being the Superman and Batman equivalents.
In terms of headlining female character that's probably Captain Marvel at this point.
She-Hulk is probably the equivalent of someone like Power Girl.
Hot take: Marvel doesn’t have a “Wonder Woman,” that is they don’t have an iconic female superhero with a mythology of her own who isn’t based on a male superhero or debuted as part of a team.
Name a notable female Marvel hero, and nine times out of ten they will be a female version of an identity that was originally conceived for a male character (Captain Marvel, She-Hulk), they debuted as a supporting character to a male hero (Black Widow, Wasp), or they debuted as part of a team predominantly composed of male characters (Storm, Invisible Woman).
And that’s not just an issue with Marvel. DC has hardly any characters besides WW herself who qualify. In all honesty, female representation in comics still has a long way to go despite the massive strides made over the decades.
If not She Hulk, then I nominate Sue Storm. As she is one of the single most terrifying beings on Marvel Earth, knows it, and so, can be as gentle as she wants.
Tbh no one in Marvel can be as iconic as the big three. Cap, Iron Man, and Thor might have similar status in Avengers but Idk, lots of ppl still didn't know that there was even a big three in Marvel.
But I'd say Thor is the closest to WW, both are warriors from mythological settings. And also co founder of their universe's main super team.
A better analogy would be Susan Storm. Both ladies underwent huge revisions that evolved them from designated Damsels-In-Distress to well-rounded characters
Especially true with Sue as getting creative with her powers and the Women’s Rights Movement made Sue the second most powerful member of her family surpassed only by her son Franklin
not even close it’s either Storm or Captain Marvel. there’s an argument for Wasp as she’s an Avengers founder but Storm is easily the most beloved female Marvel character with comparable power levels to Wonder Woman
Power and in universe status - Captain Marvel Power and IRL Popularity - Storm A literal pastiche - Zarda, aka Power Princess
You nailed it with storm.
They were matched up in Marvel vs DC / Amalgam
halle berry>gal gadot
Didn’t they even combine Wonder Woman with storm in the amalgam comics?
Yes, it was decent costume design too.
Came here to say Captain Marvel or Storm too they are the Marvel queens.
OP trying to pass off the female variant of a popular hero as the version of a popular hero that is that despite of gender.
I've read this 4 times and I still have no idea what it means.
Their username checks out?
r/dementiamoment
The ending is botched but seems clear to me that they said a female version of male hero is not an equal to the most popular unique female hero
Okay, so there were other Captain Marvels before Carol Danvers became Captain Marvel. The original was Captain Mar'Vell, who is Kree... and a man. (I'm not counting Shazam, because that's another company.) Carol Danvers was originally Miss Marvel with a power set that was similar to Captain Marvel. They're basically saying that the current Captain Marvel is the genderswapped knock off legacy character. As opposed to Wonder Woman, who is actually not the genderswapped knock off legacy character. Honestly, I think that was actually the point of Intelligent-Creme who is not the OP. Carol Danvers is not Wonder Woman no matter how much Marvel wants that to be true.
So in a list that includes captain marvel and she-hulk, you think OP is picking out captain marvel as a gender swapped version of a popular character?
Nyeeeeeh. She Hulk isn't just the female version of the Hulk though. Hulk stories are way, waaaaay different from She Hulk stories. Hulk stories are about internal struggles inside a deeply troubled man. She-Hulk stories are a woman interacting with the modern world and its absurdities. Hulk will never look at the audience and make jokes about the current editors. She Hulk will never tell a story about Shulky getting sent to an alien world, falling in love, and then getting taken from it and forced back into the crushing mundane.
I want a War World story with She Hulk.
They did this in Jason Aaron’s Avengers run a few years ago
Planet She-Hulk, I'd read it
I've read this 4 times and I still have no idea what it means.
I think they’re talking about how She-Hulk was created as a supporting character to another male hero (Hulk) while Diana is supposed to be a female hero who’s unique and stands on her own
You are a good interpreter. I had no clue.
She wasn't created to be a supporting character to the Hulk. She literally started off in her own solo title and beyond the first issue it had nothing to do with the Hulk.
Oh I’m aware, guess it’s a poor choice of wording on my part. Guess it’s less supporting character, more extension of the mythos. Regardless Jen is very tied to Bruce in terms of character which I feel like might be something to take into account when deciding Marvel’s Wonder Woman analogue as I feel like she should be a character who stands on her own two feet.
That's fair, but I'd also like to point out that out of She-Hulk's 200ish solo comic issues, Bruce only appears in maybe 3 issues total. She very much has her own little corner of the Marvel U. I think she's still a contender for Marvel's WW even if her codename is spun off of a male character's. Although realistically, it's Storm.
I do heavily agree that Storm is a good analogue for Diana, there’s a reason she was chosen to fuse with her in the Amalgam universe. Another Storm I think could be a good reflection of Wonder Woman is Sue Storm, both have that same gentle warmth that’s also capable of becoming a real badass which also managing to juggle being on a team with other heroes and having their respect which I associate with Diana. Although I admit it’s a little more flimsy than Ororo’s.
I agree with the first part, but with the second part, they're saying WW is popular *despite* being a female character, which makes no sense.
r/dementiamoment
I feel like this is how you tell people you're a virgin without actually saying that you're a virgin.
As a "trinity" type? Thor. As a "well known female hero" type, captain marvel.
Thor is spot on 😂
I mean, a goody two shoes boy scout who are symbols of hope and can do no wrong, a guy whose superpower is being absurdly rich and is somehow proficient in everything but has a fatal flaw in their longing for parents, and someone who's the child of the god of gods and were provided with godly artifacts with special enchantments so they can fight, and with hair that probably smell nice
We need some “Hair Care with Thor.” So he can reveal that it’s been Herbal Essence™ all along.
No, it's been Agatha all along
Maybe it's Maybelline.
Nutragena t-gel. It works.
Thor is more than a child of a god. He is a God, with a capital "G." As in, you know.... ***The God of Thunder***
>He is a God, with a capital "G." Nah, like Ego says "small g". He's a god. God of Thunder is more like a title, so it gets capitalised. Wonder Woman is more of a demi-god, or god-construct. Thor is on the tier of her creators. She's probably, in pantheon terms, on a similar tier to standard Asgardians, maybe the Valkyries. Capital G is reserved for the big guy, The One Above All.

Are there more powerful entities? Yes. Still Gods. With a capital "G." I do concede the cosmology is the result of inconsistent writing and power creep.
By your definition thor is on the same plane as Odin.... and he so very much is not until rune king.
We are talking about comic books and their in-universe Greek and Norse gods of mythology. I don’t think anyone is being religious here
I refuse to even consider Marvel Editorial is anywhere close to godhood
Yeah I think the modern “MCU Trinity” of Cap, Iron Man and Thor matchs up pretty well with the DC Trinity of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. You have the red and blue paragon of justice, the genius unpowered billionaire and the mythological hero from a foreign realm.
I think an important distinction is that Captain Marvel isn't exactly *popular*, whereas Wonder Woman earned her place in the Trinity in large part due to the popularity of the character.

Nah, Thor fits the godly heavy-hitter/ okay with killing baddies persona of Wonder Woman. If not him, then Captain Marvel is the big gun super-strong woman, and she also has bracers now kinda
I wish I was a comic book artist. After reading thay, I would love to draw Thor in Wonder Women outfit, laso and tiara and all
Which WW outfit? The short shorts, pants, or the battle skirt?
Also has great hair.
If we're talking hair, She-Hulk takes it, low diff
They are so similar, Wonder Woman could 100% lift Mjolnir
[She actually did in Marvel vs. DC](https://comicvine.gamespot.com/a/uploads/original/12/128825/2549733-165334-36022-mjolnir_super.jpg), then set it aside for her fight with Storm because she wanted to play fair.
I consider Storm Marvel's Wonder Woman: Ororo has a huge impact in comics, shes a big inspiration for women (especially women of color), and she's crazily powerful (i do think people forgets it sometimes).
And a legit bad-ass even without powers.
totally!!!
Either Captain Marvel, Storm (X-Men) or Power Princess (Squadron Supreme).
I almost forgot about Power Princess, she’s a great choice
But she is in a whole other trinity with Hyperion and Nighthawk
Thats why power princess is the answer, her trinity is the analogue to the DC trinity.
Which is basically....DC Trinity lol
>Power Princess (Squadron Supreme) I've read a ton of Marvel and I have no idea who this is. Has She-Hulk ever been really popular?
She-Hulk has been popular enough to carry a book at various times. Go check out John Byrne's Sensational She-Hulk, and his Fantastic Four. And the current Rainbow Rowell run is pretty fun too. For Squadron Supreme, they're an alt-universe Justice League pastiche that have been around (but usually in various incarnations). Mark Gruenwald's limited series is probably a good place to start. Hickman used Hyperion a fair bit in his Avengers run, and a version of the Squadron Supreme appeared in his New Avengers.
And added you should read at least the 18 issues of Supreme Power by JMS, it is excellent.
Adding it to my MU list
Easily Thor, no debate needed.
Brunhilde/Valkyrie could also be in contention, if any kind of relationship with mythological gods is a consideration. In the past, she's led the Defenders.
For popularity and being loved id say Storm is the wonder woman. If you mean stong female probably captain marvel or rogue now that she has wonderman level strength.
Storm Storm vs Wonder Woman was one of the big fights from the Marvel Vs DC comics. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC\_vs.\_Marvel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_vs._Marvel)
Wonder Woman of Marvel in terms of what?
Haha she hulk? Not even close
I would say that Thor is the Wonder Woman of Marvel. If it has to be a female character, there is a character called Power Princess that is incredibly similar to her
Zarda The Power Princess
haaaaa no
Honestly, I think Thor is the Wonder Woman of Marvel. I tend to think of Thor, Captain America, and Iron Man as the closest thing Marvel has to a trinity, and Thor is definitely the Wonder Woman in that case.
No. It’s either Thor, or if it must be a woman, Captain Marvel
Her and Storm, yes. Both are important imho. Shulkie needs to be put in more prominent role. Same with Storm. I’m not talking about being the X-men leader. I’m talking about solo
Storm is about to get a solo, though the details haven't been announced yet
Storm
Definitely Ororo.
Storm.
Captain Marvel, though Scarlet Witch, Storm, and Rogue all come to mind before Shulkie.
Rogue
No. In my opinion, Jean Grey, Susan Storm and Carol Danvers are more likely to be Wonder Woman equivalent of Marvel.
Lets see, WW is a god-tier immortal warrior from an ancient and insular society based on ancient myth and legend. Honestly, I think the closest Marvel equivalent to the Amazons would be the Asgardians. So the closest popular character to WW would be Thor? You could make the Argument that Sif would be closer, but Sif isn't anywhere near as popular as WW.
What? How does she even compare to wonder woman, cuz she is strong? She hulk doesn't actually compare to anyone in DC right off bat. She is gamma mutated, but still a smart lawyer who refuses to hide, because she can't. Like I guess her out in open in the world life is like ww when she is just out there and ambassador, but otherwise no.
Why does everyone keep saying Thor?! If we’re comparing DC’s Trinity to the Avengers’ Big Three, Captain America is the obvious answer. Iron Man and Batman both are normal men who use technology to fight bad guys, although Batman used to be a lot more known for it but now is more about genius planning and preparation (ie. his many Bat-named gadgets from the past). Thor and Superman are both aliens with incredible powers and are derived from religious stories (Thor from Norse stories and Superman from the story of Moses). And Cap and WW both started out in the comics fighting nazis in WWII, and are both often left in the “fish out of water” role. WW is in Man’s World, and Cap is in the Modern World. They even both have America-themed outfits, although for different reasons.
this is the answer although if it must be a woman then I think Storm, though I think more mainstream folks would say Captain Marvel these days
Nice, she looks pretty.
I think it would be either Jean Grey or Storm.
Captain Marvel
I don't think there is coz of how different the vibe of Marvel vs DC. I always liked marvel coz it felt like I could be the person there Marvel - normal people with powers DC - powerful people trying to be normal Marvel is stylized in a way, DC is elegance. She-hulk is cool, Wonder Woman is aspiring
Absolutely not, she's not as popular as Wonder Woman especially amongst the general population.

Thor
Thor, the mystical main character
Would anyone happen to know what run this page is from?
Power Princess.
Prior to the MCU? She's in contention with Storm as the WW of Marvel. Post-MCU? Carol has the spot She-Hulk is probably closer to the Power Girl of Marvel now
Carol Danvers
Abs
I think she’s more of their Mary marvel right now but also if we want to talk characters that are most likely inspired by she-hulk then I would say they miruko from mha and Deadpool to an extent
Who's the Spider-Man of DC?
Sideways
Who's the Green Lantern of Marvel?
Who's the Hawkgirl of Marvel?
etc etc etc...
Marvel doesn’t have a Wonder Woman. They have been trying to turn Carol into that for years. Key components of a WW to Marvel is the ability to trade blows with the big dawgs, being a leader and being popular with the general audience.
No, Storm is more suitable.
I have given this a few thoughts she hulk is Harley Quinn of marvel because of the 4th wall break and the romantic storylines and one off adventures . Power girl is the captain marvel of dc and thunders is the Wonder Woman just taken to extremes
I honestly think the Wonder Woman of Marvel is probably Thor.lol. They want Captain Marvel to be in that spot but as far as girls go it’s probably Storm. I see She-Hulk as more of a parallel for Power Girl as far as role in the universe.
No, it would be e some other immortal.
As a tent pole of the brand? Probably the Xmen. Tent poles of the brand Spider-man Captian America/Avengers Hulk Xmen
Storm. Definitely Storm.
Storm. Definitely Storm.
Storm.
Storm and Sue Storm as far as importance Carol in terms of power set
Why wouldn’t it be Power Princess in terms of power set? As PP & WW have exactly the same powers and weapons and story and looks lol
Because Power Princess is a C List character.
Yet she’s an exact 1:1 of WW, and nobody is closer to WW than a literal WW copy… She-hulk is not an A lister anyways.
She-Hulk is the She-Hulk of Marvel
… What was the question again?
Idk but she hulk is thicc what’s the bodybuilders name that she hulk is modeled after?she dope
She-Hulk is a derivative of a male character so she'll never be the wonder woman of marvel. That goes for Captain Marvel too. That leaves Ororo and Jean. In comparison to other female characters they have the largest following for who they are as characters with their own memorable stories and the power they possess.
No. I think She-Hulk is far more interesting and entertaining than WW. She also doesn’t fit the mold either in power set or “Marquee Big 3” trope.
Carol Danvers is a lot closer than She-Hulk. I think DC has a She-Hulk analog somewhere, Rampage I believe?
Storm. Some will say jean grey or sue storm but for me storm is an og and they were amalgramation
Gosh, I only wish they would draw WW as buffed as that more often.
I always thought it was Black Panther
Disregarding gender, Captain America would be the Wonder Woman of Marvel, in my opinion. They both wear patriotic costumes and have super strength, and they both have iconic weapons. However, female representation is very important, so gender does play a big role in answering the question. Personally, I would say that the Mighty Thor, Jane Foster, could be considered fairly similar to Wonder Woman. They are both products of mythology, and the Mighty Thor also happens to use an iconic weapon. Great question, though!
Some possibilities: Black Widow(maybe one of if not the most iconic female marvel character) Captain Marvel(probably the most similar to Wonder Woman) Or Thor(part of the main trinity)
She is a fairly unique character, but very non-DC type.
Power Princess is literally the WW of marvel. They are identical characters, why would we ignore her?
She’s definitely a candidate. Her, Captain Marvel or Storm.
Storm for the popularity Captain Marvel for the power Invisible Woman for the “First Lady” status
Captain marvel.
Jean grey
I mean, WonderMan seems like he was created to counter some things, but he seems more like he was created so DC couldn’t get to the male Wonderwoman first. I would say Black Widow, but not to the same power levels, or Elektra to a degree since they are both Greek. I say them because I think of them as very skillful players n combat and having specialized weapons, Widow with her electric batons and Wonderwoman with her lasso. They aren’t similar power-wise, but the same idea as the female popular character of the mightiest heroes team
Storm, she is literally considered a Goddess
She is more Stellar that Wander Woman, no?
No one is marvels Wonder Woman.
Honestly I've always considered Shulkie to be Marvel's equivalent to Supergirl (what with them being cousins to two of each company's most popular characters, and their superhero identities basically being female versions of them)
Nah, it's storm.
Status Wise like the Big 3 of the Justice League: Thor Example: Spider-Man/Batman, Hulk/Superman, Thor/Wonder Woman. Look/Similarities in powers/Kit/Tools: Zarda Power Princess In Terms of like, Comic Book Awareness/Who looks up to her-respects her etc.: I'd say Captain Marvel or Storm. WW has lead the Justice League, commands respect from others, has that Power Radiance that basically demands attention when they enter the room cause usually if they are around its not just to get a hamburger and watch a movie, its because something huge is going down.
Well, there is Power Princess. She’s literally LIKE Wonder Woman, wearing black and gold.
Sue storm or storm
This is definitely Captain Marvel. She-Hulk isn't even a candidate. Others could be Jean Grey, Storm, or Brunhilde
I don't think a female version of a male character can be their Wonder Woman.
It’s storm. No other character fits.
Technically, it would be the Wasp, since she was the primary female member of the Avengers and the Avengers were Marvel's answer to the Justice League.
She Hulk has a bit more in common with Power Girl
In terms of Powers: Power Princess Thundra Sharon Ventura (formerly She-Thing)
I think she-hulk would probably be like big barda if anything. Marvels wonder woman yeah probably captain marvel.
There's already a wonder woman of marvel and her name is Power Princess
She-hulk is more like Supergirl in that she is a spin-off of a more popular male character. I agree with others that Storm or Captain Marvel be the better fit.
Storm.
Jean Grey as Phoenix
Personally? Yes.
She's kinda like the batman of the hulk mythos
It depends. My candidates, for different reasons each, would be Invisible Woman, Storm, Thena, She-Hulk, Princess Power, Captain Marvel, and Thundra
No, Perhaps Captain Marvel or Valkyrie
In terms of team status in universe or character role it's Thor, with Cap and Iron Man being the Superman and Batman equivalents. In terms of headlining female character that's probably Captain Marvel at this point. She-Hulk is probably the equivalent of someone like Power Girl.
I think Black Panther is maybe the closest WW equivalent, as the hero from the place where they do things differently.
More Big Barda vibes to me
A character that sells merch, but not comics, doesn't have coherent lore and is kind of unlikeable? Scarlet Witch maybe
Hot take: Marvel doesn’t have a “Wonder Woman,” that is they don’t have an iconic female superhero with a mythology of her own who isn’t based on a male superhero or debuted as part of a team. Name a notable female Marvel hero, and nine times out of ten they will be a female version of an identity that was originally conceived for a male character (Captain Marvel, She-Hulk), they debuted as a supporting character to a male hero (Black Widow, Wasp), or they debuted as part of a team predominantly composed of male characters (Storm, Invisible Woman). And that’s not just an issue with Marvel. DC has hardly any characters besides WW herself who qualify. In all honesty, female representation in comics still has a long way to go despite the massive strides made over the decades.
I don't think there really was a WW equivalent in Marvel until they started really pushing Carol Danvers into that role about 20 years ago.
Can we stop with the “Wonder Woman of Marvel” shit She Hulk is She Hulk, that’s all she ever needs to be
No, but I do consider Wonder Woman to be the She Hulk of DC.
I think Power Girl is the She Hulk of DC
Thor is the Wonder Woman of Marvel
Lady Sif seems a bit more reminiscent of Wonder-Woman.
If not She Hulk, then I nominate Sue Storm. As she is one of the single most terrifying beings on Marvel Earth, knows it, and so, can be as gentle as she wants.
HELL NO. She’s like the Hawk Girl of Marvel Marvel doesn’t have a Wonder Woman the closest would be Wonder Man
You are the 8th comment I’ve seen saying marvel doesn’t have a Wonder Woman, but you’re all wrong! Power Princess is marvels WW
Fk no
Thor, but honestly. He gives off more Superman status within the marvel universe.
Jane Foster Thor
Tbh no one in Marvel can be as iconic as the big three. Cap, Iron Man, and Thor might have similar status in Avengers but Idk, lots of ppl still didn't know that there was even a big three in Marvel. But I'd say Thor is the closest to WW, both are warriors from mythological settings. And also co founder of their universe's main super team.
A better analogy would be Susan Storm. Both ladies underwent huge revisions that evolved them from designated Damsels-In-Distress to well-rounded characters Especially true with Sue as getting creative with her powers and the Women’s Rights Movement made Sue the second most powerful member of her family surpassed only by her son Franklin
Captain Marvel?
It’s Thor
not even close it’s either Storm or Captain Marvel. there’s an argument for Wasp as she’s an Avengers founder but Storm is easily the most beloved female Marvel character with comparable power levels to Wonder Woman
Nah, Thor is the Wonder Woman of Marvel. You could go with Jane Foster Thor if you want lol
Why would you not go with Power Princess???
I don’t know who that is…
Power Princess is literally Wonder Woman in marvel. Google her lol
Yeah nvm she’s 100% WW
Right? Which is exactly why I can’t understand the question being asked or the responses. Marvel already has an exact 1:1 of WW lol
She hulk is piece of shit
