Wonder Woman (DC) vs Bayonetta (Bayonetta)

Greetings and welcome to another edition of my Vs series and it's going to be none other than Wonder Woman from DC Comics vs Bayonetta from.... Bayonetta haha. In this blog I will do a brief summary of both Wonder Woman and Bayonetta's backstories, their stats, their weapons, skill set and finally who I think is going to  win.

For this fight, I will include most of the feats for both Wonder Woman and Bayonetta though I will exclude Super Smash Bros Bayonetta since that version is non canon towards her own games. As for Wonder Woman, I will use images from the 2017 Wonder Woman film yet I will discuss the feats from the comics and the animated TV series and her own animated films. So, without further ado, let's begin






Wonder Woman

Diana Prince, also known as Wonder Woman to the world, is an amazonian warrior princess who was sculpted by clay from her mother Hippolyta and brought to life by Zeus. She was raised in Themyscira, an ancient land that is populated entirely by Amazons. Diana was trained in all forms of combat during her time in Themyscira and eventually became the champion of the amazons after winning a tournament to become the Ambassador to Man's World, also known as, The World outside of Themyscira. Upon entering this world, Diana has vowed to protect Earth with peace and justice towards the innocent. Since then she has taken on countless enemies over the course of her lifetime, ranging from armies led by Ares the God of War, facing the ruthless Cheetah, defeating Gods that threatened the universe and joining the Justice League. Eventually, after defeating Ares, Diana herself became the Goddess of War and continues her path of making the world a better place.

That is a brief backstory for Wonder Woman. Now lets see what she can do.

Strength
It comes to no surprise that Wonder Woman is one of DC's strongest characters. Not only does she surpass characters who can casually break planets, she is considered to be one of the strongest memebers of the Justice League, with only Superman, Shazam and Martian Man hunter surpassing her in terms of raw strength. Some of Wonder Woman's strength feats are:

•  Held back sword swings from Ares
• Helped pull the Earth with Martian Manhunter and Superman
• Can block attacks from the likes of Superman, Shazam, Martian Manhunter and Doomsday.
• Punched Ares back with only her fists
• Kicks Superman so hard he was sent flying backwards
• Forced Shazam to submit to her and say the magic word to revert to Billy Batson
• Helped Superman lift the Spectre. The Spectre's weight is said to be limitless. This puts Wonder Woman with limitless strength
• Cracked Doomsday's skin with her shield. Doomsday tanks punches from Superman on a regular basis
  

Speed
Aside from Diana's already legendary strength level, she is also an extremely fast combatant. Here are some of her best feats for speed:

• Reacted to The Flash's movements.
• Has tagged Zoom, who is one of the fastest characters in DC
• Caught Zoom while he was ahead of her in time
• Blocked God Shards that were coming towards her from every corner of the universe
•  Can match Superman's flight speed.
• Superman said Wonder Woman is faster than him in terms of combat speed. Superman's combat speed surpasses the likes of Martian Manhunter, who punches at FTL to Massive FTL speeds
• Can block Omega Beams by Darkseid. Darkseid's Omega Beams can tag the Flash even when he is at full speed
• Escaped the Speedforce

Durability
Another one of Diana's legendary stats involve her durability. She is one of the most difficult characters in DC to put down for good. Here are some of her amazing feats:

• Tanked blows from the likes of Superman, The Flash, Martian Man Hunter, Shazam, Darkseid, Doomsday, Lex Luthor, Ares, Cheetah and Supergirl.
• Had her arms twisted by Superman, Diana beat Superman in the same fight.
• Survived Darkseid's Omega Beams
• Survived a clobbering by Doomsday, Doomsday killed Superman without kryptonite
• Can tank a full on Rocket to the face and not be phased by it.  
• Was pushed through planets by Superman.
• Survived a black hole numerous times

Skills
Diana is considered by Batman to be the best fighter in the universe. This is a very strong claim for Diana, since the DC universe also includes Lady Shiva, Deathstroke, Batman himself and Superman, all of whom are legendary fighters


Weapons
    As amazing of a hero Diana is, she is not without her most iconic weapons. These weapons are forged by Hephaestus, the God of Smithing. Diana comes into battle with:

• The Sword of Hephaestus. Wonder Woman's sword that cuts everything. Even Superman said the sword can kill him
  

•  The Lasso of Truth. Diana's signature weapon used for both offensively and defensively. She can also use it to capture foes and compel them to tell the truth. It is almost impossible to escape from the Lasso.
  
• The Amazonian Shield. The Shield is virtually indestructible. It took blows from Superman, Doomsday and Ares in combat. It is also used both offensively and defensively. Diana can even throw this shield and it does come back to her if given the chance to do so. 

•  The Bracelets of Submission. These Bracelets, like the Amazonian Shield, are indestructible. Infact, they are one of the very few items in the DC universe to be completely unphased by Darkseid's Omega Beams. It is also worth noting that if Diana clashes these bracelets together in a cross guard, she will emit a defensive barrier that is strong enough to tank punches from Superman, Doomsday and even Darkseid
  

• Tiara. Diana's headpiece that can also be used as a ranged weapon. This Tiara is sharp enough to cut Superman

• Sandals of Hermes: These Sandal give Diana increased speed and flight.

 

• Amazonian Bow: Wonder Woman sometimes uses a bow for long ranged combat.

Berseker Rage

Due to the amount of divinity infused into her to bring her life, Diana is basically a goddess and if Wonder Woman removes her bracelets, she will unleash her full potential known as True Divine Nature

In this state,Diana has vastly increased stats. And is able to defeat the First Born, A monsterous being capable of destroying the Underworld. Another plain of existence

As the God of War after slaying Ares, Diana has control of Ares’ abilities, which she primarily uses for summoning purposes. She can summon lighting, summon an energy spear and even energy projectiles. She can also summon an army of soldiers to fight alongside her.

 Weaknesses

 Despite Diana's legendary status as a combatant and a superhero, she unfortunately suffers from one of the craziest weaknesses for someone who can tank planet level blows from Superman: Piercing Weapons. Diana herself can be killed by normal handguns if she cannot deflect or react to the bullets coming at her. Also. She has lost to Superman multiple times, was destroyed by Doomsday, and cannot defeat Darkseid alone.

 Still, despite her relatively little flaws, Wonder Woman is easily one of the most powerful characters in fiction. She is indeed my all time favorite Superhero that is not a Powerpuff Girl :D!!! Marry me Diana!!!!

Bayonetta

 Cereza, also known as Bayonetta, was born to a Lumen Sage named Balder and an Umbran Witch named Rosa. Cereza was the forbidden child that caused a conflict between the Lumen Sages and the Umbran Witches. Thus, this resulted in her father being exiled and her mother imprisoned. This all started the clan wars, when a great war between the Lumen Sages and The Umbran Witches erupted. 

Cereza was prohibited to learn the magical arts of the Umbran Witches but, against that rule, she was taught to use them anyway. During her time in training she met her best friend Jeanne. Both Cereza and Jeanne ended up being so close they regarded themselves as sisters. Eventually, with Both Cereza and Jeanne growing their skills in combat overtime, Jeanne was selected to become the leader of the Umbran Witches, for her final test she chose to face Cereza in a duel due to the fact that Cereza is seen to be the most powerful witch of the clan despite the fact that Jeanne's wishes were forbidden.

 Their battle was interrupted as the angels attacked. Unaware of the source of this attack, the Umbra Witches, including Cereza, were led to believe that her father, Balder, was the cause of the Witch Hunts. After seeing her deceased mother, Cereza lost her will to fight. With Jeanne understanding the plot of Balder towards resurrecting Jubileus, she instead seals away Cereza in a special ritual which imparts her into the Umbran Watch's red jewel and hides her under the bottom of a lake.

 Five hundred years later, she is promptly found by Antonio Redgrave who was hired by Balder to investigate her whereabouts. Shortly after being found, he is killed by Balder and his angels. His son, Luka, looks beyond and due to being unable to see into Purgatorio mistakes her for being the one that killed his father. Unable to remember much of her life, she retains that she is one of the last surviving Umbra Witches and dedicates her life to killing angels and regaining her memories.

Since then Bayonetta has fought countless waves of Angels, Demons, Jeanne herself, Balder, Rodin and Gods.  

That's a detailed summary of Bayonetta's background, now, let's see what she can do

Strength

Despite her appearance, Bayonetta is extraordinarily strong. Infact, she is so strong that a simple kick from her can crush cars instantly. Some of her most legendary strength feats are:

• Using her weapons to block attacks from Giant Angels and Demons
• Kicked a Jet that was flying towards her.
• Strong enough to wield Lt. Col. Kilgore on her legs. Lt. Col. Kilgore are a pair of rocket launchers.
• Can wield giant weapons with ease. 
• Can head butt skyscrapers
• Can throw Giant Angels and Demons easily
• Kicks with such force that her enemies fly up into the air
• Has used her legs to throw a satellite towards Aesir.
• Held back Valor's Sword. The Sword is so strong it can cut through bricks with ease

Speed

The pinnacle of Bayonetta's stats involve her speed. She is so fast that she can even fly around space. Here are some of Bayonetta's best speed feats

• Dodges attacks from her enemies
• Can use her butterfly wings for flight and gliding
• Reacts to bullets, sword swings and lightning. 
• Can dodge Faster than Light attacks from Jubileus and Aesir. Jubileus is the Creator of the Universe.
• Dodge Meteors from Aesir.
• Dodges attacks from Balder. Balder can reach FTL speeds in space.

• In Bloody Fate, Bayonetta fought Jubileus across the Solar System in mere minutes. This puts her speed to Massively FTL capabilities   

Witch Time

Another addition to Bayonetta's speed is her Witch time. Witch time is activated whenever Bayonetta perfectly dodges her opponents. Whenever Bayonetta dodges her opponents attacks, she slows down time and will always be faster than her opponents. This allows Bayonetta to completely dominate the battlefield for a brief moment. Witch Time can be used repeatedly so long as Bayonetta can dodge attacks again.

In Addition to it's already powerful capabilities, Witch time can also be used at any time at will. It is even activated during certain levels of the game when Bayonetta didn't even dodge any attacks.


Durability
Bayonetta has endured alot of punishment over the course of her series. Here are some feats:

• Can take blows from enemies that are country level on a regular basis. 
• Can take hits from Temperantia, Fortutido, Valor, Aesir and Jubileus.
• Tanks attacks from Jeanne, Jeanne is equal to Bayonetta's strength level.
• Tanks hits from Balder, who destroyed the Moon.

Weapons
Bayonetta is not just an extraordinary witch, she is also a swiss army knife when it comes to weapons. This list is the complete list of weapons used by Bayonetta.

• Scarborough Fair: Bayonetta's Iconic Pistols, capable of massively hyper sonic speeds. These pistols also can summon Madama Butterfly in battle to crush enemies. Can be used in both hands and feet

• Love is Blue: Bayonetta's other Iconic Pistols. Virtually Identical to Scarborough Fair. This time the attacks are blue with Madama Butterfly's attacks being blue also. Can be used in both hands and feet

• Shuraba: Bayonetta's single sword that is capable of reaching great distances. It is one of Bayonetta's most versatile weapons

•  Sai Fung: Nun-chucks that are wielded with such speed that Gods cannot react to them. 

• Pillow Talk: A Lightsaber used by Bayonetta that increases it's cutting power and length after Bayonetta charges up her sheath attack.

•  Rodin: A set of rings that allows Bayonetta to use any Angel and Demon Weapon she wishes to use. These include a spear that allows her to use spinning kick attacks (Matrix Style), dual swords, a Demonic Gear that can crush her enemies and even a Trumpet that creates a laser.

• Alruna: A pair of whips that are used to grapple Bayonetta's opponents. When sprung around, their range is drastically increased and their damage output is higher than normal

• Kafka: A magical bow, capable of shooting massively hyper sonic arrows. However, the speed of these arrows could reach FTL speeds since Bayonetta can fire them in space.
  
  

•  Chernobog: A Giant Scythe like weapon that deals massive damage. It is also swung around for greater reach. It also can blast off enemies with it's blast shot (Ruby Rose anyone?)
  
  

•  Salamandra: A pair of chainsaws used by Bayonetta to cut through anything she desired. These chainsaws are powerful enough to finish off Aesir in minutes
  

•  Undine: Two powerful weapons that can use Fire based and Ice Based attacks. Their Fire Based attacks melt through Angel and Demon armour and their Ice Attacks can freeze enemies in place
  
  

• Takemikazuchi: A Giant Hammer that deals massive damage to Bayonetta's enemies.

  

•  Chain Chomp: Yes, this is real....... A weapon from the Mario Universe that Bayonetta uses to chomp on her foes.
  
   
  
  
  Skillset

Bayonetta's fighting skill is very unique in that she utilizes both her hands and feet to wield her weaponry. She is highly skilled with the use of firearms, swords, chainswords and whips using her feet. Infact, she even fires heavy weapons such as Undine and rocket launchers with her feet with unrivaled mastery. Her attacks are very graceful, very unpredictable and even very sexy..... oooh yeah!!!
 









 Hair Demons

Bayonetta can summon hair demons using..... well, her hair, to assist her in the battlefield. Infact, she summons them to finish off her opponents. These Demons are:

• Madama Butterfly: Mistress of Atrocity: This is Bayonetta's most powerful demon. She is strong enough to casually head butt meteors to the face without a flinch and even overpowered Balder's Temperantia in a fist fight.
  

•  Gomorrah: A Giant Monster that eats Bayonetta's enemies like snacks
  
• Malphas: A Giant Raven that can move so fast it can reach it's prey within seconds. It also can pluck the eyes out of Giant Angels and Demons

•  Mictlantecuhtli: A Giant Bat Demon than spins towards it's enemies with a piercing attack

•  Baal: A Giant Demonic Toad summoned by Bayonetta to devour her foes. It's tongue can also flail around as a weapon.
  
  
  
  
  • Hydra: Hydra takes the form of a Gorgon-like head, with multiple snake-like appendages acting as her hair. The multiple heads snake out and hit their target or lash out and bite the enemy; if the enemy is in the air the head will maul them in the air.
    
  
  
  
  
  • Dimoedes: A Unicorn Demon that is equipped with an extremely sharp blade as it's horn. It also can be used by Bayonetta for transportation.
    
  • Carnage: Carnage is a green demon summoned by Bayonetta whenever she uses Kafka's final attack. They are extremely poisonous  
    
  
  
  As you can see, Bayonetta's Demon gallery is massive. She can summon any demon for any situation. They can also be used whenever she finishes off her combos or even use her Umbran Climax to boost her standard attacks to greater heights. There are two more Demons, Queen Sheba and Omne though, while those two demons are limitless in power, they can only be summoned by combining the power of two Umbra Witches or an Umbran Witch and a Lumen Sage.
  
  
  
  
   Accessories
  Bayonetta uses accessories to enhance her combat potential these include
  
  
  
  
  
  
  •  Polley's Butterfly: Allows Bayonetta to summon Butterflies to surround herself in a shield. If Bayonetta is attacked, The butterflies take the damage and die.
    
    
  • Gaze of Despair: Causes all enemies to go crazy, allowing Bayonetta to gain more magical power whenever she attacks them. The drawback is that they do double damage on bayonetta if they strike her
    
    
  • Earring of Ruin: Allows Bayonetta to use the Umbran armour instead of using Umbran Climax. This Armour is powerful enough to shatter Moon level Angels. It is also armed with twin gattling cannons and two powerful Shotgun weapons in it's feet
    
    
  • Evil Harvest Rosary: Whenever this is equipped, whenever Bayonetta dodges her opponent, instead of activating witch time, Bayonetta produces a ball that explodes. The ball is powerful enough to send Giant angels and demons backwards
    
    
  • Selene's Light: When equipped, if Bayonetta is struck, Witch time is immediately activated
    
    
  • Moon of Mahaa-Kalaa: When equipped, Bayonetta blocks any attack with the bracelets. This also allows Bayonetta to headbutt her opponent and also activates Witch time. It also heals Bayonetta.
    
    
  • Eternal Testimony: Whenever bayonetta is out of magical orbs, when this item is equipped, she immediately restores 2 orbs.
    
    
  • Immortal Marionette: When equipped, Bayonetta uses all combos at random with just a single button press.
    
    
  • Mallet of Rewards: When equipped, Bayonetta gets more halos and rings if she kills her opponents
    
    
  • Infernal Communicator: Once activated, the Infernal Communicator will summon a small group of floating skeletal demons that will attack Bayonetta's enemies and add to her combo score. Though their damage is low, they have a decent stagger rate and can keep smaller angels off-balance, allowing more extended combos. While active, the Little Devils slowly drain the magic gauge.
    
  • Climax Brace: Gives Bayonetta unlimited magic power, allowing her to use Torture Attacks and Umbran Climax whenever the players desire
    
  • Climax Brace 2: Allows Umbran Climax to drastically increase in strength whenever it is activated. However, Bayonetta will take more damage from enemies when it is in use
    
       
   Torture Attacks

Aside from Bayonetta's moveset, she can finish off her opponents using torture attacks. These include decapitation, squishing opponents using machines, summoning torture devices to crush her enemies and even split bodies in half 

•  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Magical Gauge
   The main source of Bayonetta's power. Bayonetta replenishes magic whenever she attacks her enemies or uses her purple lollipops. If Bayonetta runs out of magic, she cannot use Umbran Climax, Umbran Armor and Torture Attacks.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Lollipops
  Lollipops are Bayonetta's consumables that allow her to replensish Health (Green), Her Magic (Purple) Increase her attack power (Red) and allow her to become invulnerable (Yellow)
  
   Shape shifting
  
  Bayonetta can shape shift into three types of animals
  • A Panther for faster travel speed
  • A Raven for flight and attacks with feathers to pierce her enemies
    
  • A Snake for faster swim speed
    
  
  
  
  
  Weaknesses
   
  Despite Bayonetta's legendary stats and weapons, her weakness is not really hard to explain.... She is human and can die from normal means of attacks. Another flaw for Bayonetta is that she doesn't have a regeneration factor. Although her green lollipops help her out, if she runs out of them, she cannot regain vitality and eventually will die. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  However, despite that, she has accomplished everything that a human would dream of.

  Bayonetta
  
  
  Advantages

  • Has way more weapons than Wonder Woman
  • Has way more items at her disposal. Some even boost her defenses that make Bayonetta Invulnerable or outright impossible to counter
  • Her Hair Demons can catch Diana off guard.
  •  Her Fighting style is so unfamiliar with Diana that it may well keep Bayonetta ahead of the game very easily
  • Her leg attacks are very unpredictable to Wonder Woman

  Conclusion
  This fight is extremely close. On one hand, Wonder Woman surpasses Bayonetta in terms of strength, durability, combat experience, deadlier weapons and even has a better resume to back up a claim for Wonder Woman to win this fight........ However, Bayonetta has her own advantages to help her here. You see, Bayonetta is very unlike anything that Diana has faced before. 
  
  Bayonetta also summons Hair demons, which can keep Diana at bay for a moment for Bayonetta to try and finish her off. What is interesting here is that Bayonetta's combat style is going to surprise Diana at times. Even so, Bayonetta should have the strategic advantage here. 
  
  Now, here is where things get very scary. The one factor in this whole fight that can change the course of the battle.... Witch Time. Now, Bayonetta has to perfectly dodge Diana's attacks in order to activate it. Once activated, Bayonetta would be way faster than Wonder Woman, opening a chance to kill Wonder Woman for good. The question is, is it possible for Bayonetta to achieve this? My Answer
  
  
  
  
  
   YES!!!!!
  
  Bayonetta will win this fight. The reason why I say it is because Diana really has to try and tag Bayonetta. Which she can do so a couple of times..... but the thing is, Diana would have to try and read Bayonetta's attack pattern first...... sadly, without prep time, it is almost impossible. Sure, Diana is way stronger and more durable right? Well, yes, but the thing is, all that is useless if Bayonetta can simply dodge Diana's attacks, opening up a stab to Diana in the heart or shoot her brains out..... And Diana can die from piercing attacks. Guess What? Bayonetta is basically armed with piercing weapons. What is worse for Diana is that her move set is very much already been witnessed by Bayonetta. The rogue gallery that Bayonetta has shows that she has fought opponents that uses a sword, shield, lassos, bows and even other angelic and demonic weapons. Diana's weapons are nothing that Bayonetta cannot handle. Diana's Sword can cut through anything but it is pointless if Bayonetta can simply dodge it and activate witch time, giving Bayonetta the chance to slice Diana's hands and arms off.
  
  
  In Short, Bayonetta is simply too unpredictable for Diana to overcome. While Diana will put up a fight, she is losing to someone that simply activates Witch Time at will and even exploit her attacks to the point that Bayonetta cannot be touched.
  
  
  
  
  The Winner is Bayonetta
