fan knowWonder Womanas an expert hero , trained from an early historic period to triumph in battle - but when she foughtStormof the X - manpower , the Amazon made a dreadful and awkward mistake . Marvel and DC Comics have crossed over before , but in 1996 , the two companies worked together to create the ultimate crossover voter event : Marvel vs. DC(also printed asDC vs. Marvel ) . InMarvel vs. DC # 3,written by Ron Marz with artistic production by Dan Jurgens and Claudio Castellini , the two superheroes finally meet in unmarried combat .

Marvel vs. DCtells the tale of two ancient cosmic entities sleep with only as the " Brothers " , each correspond an full cosmos . The Brothers have noticed one another and like to crusade - but should   they   even come to blows , both universe of discourse would be destroyed by the absolute baron on display ( an earlier clash resulted in the Big Bang ) .

Wonder Woman handle to lift the hammer ( both she andSuperman are canonically capable of   holding   Mjolnir ) , granting her all the power of Thor … a God of Thunder . It ’s here where she encounters Storm ; she ’s quite familiar with the weapon and know she ’s at a severe disadvantage . Still , she intend to fight on . “I , too , have been called a Goddess , and the lightning is atmycommand as well . “It ’s here that Wonder Woman makes a critical mistake : she discharge the hammer , release the magnate of Thor . According to her , the battle” … would not be fair"if she bear Mjolnir while fighting Storm .

" We face each other as was intended!“Wonder Woman call - and while her action are noble and admirable ,   they ’re far from   judicious . violent storm perfectly dominates Wonder Woman during the fight , summoning muscular wind ,   pouring rainfall , and finally a potent bolt of lightning that finally convey the Amazon down for the count . pureness in battle is ordinarily Wonder Woman ’s mode , butbillionsof lives are at stake , not just her own . As an Amazon warrior , Diana was foolish to throw away a knock-down vantage that could have easy helped her win the fight .

The ending ofMarvel vs. DCis ultimately a happy one - the Brothers place upright down from their fight , both universes keep to subsist , and only the heroes remember shade of the crossover voter . But lover remember everything - including the meter when a warrior lose a fight to bring through a cosmos for the sake of being fairish . Wonder Womanlost because she wastooheroic - and againsta powerful opposite likeStorm , gallantry is not a succeed strategy .
