I think she looked better with the high heeled shoes instead of the boots.
As for the fight between Z and Wanda. Z would win since she can predict what occurs when she uses her spells which Wanda can't when she uses her hexes.

Untrue -- at least for recent versions of her.Originally posted by Kaeto
Wanda can't [predict what occurs] when she uses her hexes.
Wanda wins easily if she knows (or realizes quickly enough) that Zatanna's big weakness is that she must speak to use her magic. And that becomes apparent within the first or second spell. Even without knowing this, the ability to control probability allows her to counter any effect that doesn't knock her out or kill her without too much difficulty. If Zatanna knows or figures out that Wanda is playing dice with the universe (apologies to Mr. Einstein), and can form a spell to counter that, then she wins. That's at best a long shot.

Actually I think I prefer the fishnet stockings to the thigh high boots. The latter bring back too many bad memories of 60's/70's "Marvel" characters (such as the terminally lame "Killraven"). For what it's worth I think that "The Scarlet Witch" would probably win the fight, but i think that "Zatanna" would get more dates !

Re: Zatanna vs Scarlet Witch
How Appropriate is Thread Necromancy on this particular Debate?
2 years and nine months in the grave, yet it rises.
!esira daerht!
realistically, doesnt it come down to who gets initiative?
Zatanna has incantations, Wanda has gestures...

Heh...good thread necromancy :thumbsup:
Zatanna, cuz every time I see her I get that Joe Cocker song in my head...

Are you kidding me? The Scarlet Witch has basically the penultimate "bull****" Power, second only to Franklin Richards. Unless there is an opportunity for soap opera style melodrama involving an android or a coherent energy being that wears sunglasses, she wins.

And Zatanna once put an atmosphere and an ocean on the Moon, as a *side effect* of a dyslexic episode. She also rebuilt Metropolis from a literal smoking crater in seconds.
They are both stupid plot devices, although the recent Bendis-ized Crazy Wanda is notably worse, yes.

Actually, Zatanna doesn't need to speak backwards, or at all, to use her magic. To quote: "When will people figure out that's just a concentration exercise?"

I don't know squat from Zatanna. The fishnets are hot but the magician's assistant outfit is tres lame. Give me Wanda, every geekboy's dream chick.

Real writer's fiat contest, but I'm going with Zatanna. She has more history behind her. From a power POV, Zatanna at her best was able to create fully functional duplicates of the entire Silver Age JLA at once, though of course Wanda at her best can re-write history.
As always in comics, it comes down to who the writer wants to win.

I have to give it to Zatanna simply because she, unlike Wanda, doesn't go INSANE every so often.
"You know, I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe."

I don't know muchj about Zatanna but Wanda is stupid Plot Device powers with powers that use that classic line "Limited only by her imagination" IE What ever the writers need her to do at the time. OTOH, pretty much the same thing can be said of almost any comic book mage but SW did just rewrite history...

Actually, after her bit in and around the "Seven Soldiers" series (written by Grant Morrison), I like her a lot more than I used to. Wanda, on the other hand, was always a favorite of mine until Bendis wrecked her (which is one of the few plots/stories of his I really really don't like).
And yeah, Wanda was hot, but that song....

I note that the poll was running neck and neck. Interesting.
