Imagine, for a second, a battle of epic proportions featuring a duo of comic book characters that has the potential to produce a jaw-dropping fight. The DC Universe is full to the brim with powerful superheroes and villains that have the potential to not only deliver enticing stories and legendary rivalries, but intense, iconic DC battles as well. Fans, as such, have witnessed decades of unforgettable DC character battles, from Batman vs. Superman to Wonder Woman vs Cheetah that continues to excite in comics even today. Still, not every possible head-to-head DC match up winds up being explored, as not all DC battles are suitable for continuityโs sake. Sometimes, the only chance they get for these face-offs is in an alternative universe such as those like Injustice: Gods Among Us.

For that reason, imagining these epic face offs is a viable option for readers, who might picture an eye-catching battle between characters from two different worlds, like that of between Raven from The Teen Titans and Circe from Wonder Woman. Letโs take a look at 6 DC Comics characters that stand a chance at producing an epic superhero showdown between them.
6) Giaganta and Elasti-Girl

While from two different comics, the battle that could ensue between these two giant power-houses would be phenomenal. Cities would shake to their core as a fight between these two unfolds, causing a clash between modern day titans. This would be Plastic Man vs Martian Manhunter 2.0 and, in this case, Rita would have just as much strength as she had elasticity going up against the known Wonder Woman villain. Giganta, with her brute strength and towering rage, against Elasti-Girl and her own elasticity and wits would make for an incredible fight. The collateral would be insurmountable as skyscrapers shake while others fall, causing a potential moral dilemma as well for Rita as she must balance out the difficult feat of beating Giganta without causing too much damage to any surrounding civilization. This would be a fight of both external and internal proportions.
5) Raven and Circe

Hereโs another epic female showdown, this time between two powerful magic users: Raven of The Teen Titans and Circe, a formidable sorceress and recurring Wonder Woman foe. This clash wouldnโt just be a physical confrontation, though. This would transcend realms, possibly shaking the very fabric of reality itself. Raven, the daughter of the demon Trigon, who, himself, stood no match to her, and Circe, a mythic witch of Greek origin capable of challenging the warrior race, known as the Amazons of Themsycria. This battle could erupt into a dazzling, chaotic storm of color and mysticism across every page. Think โwizarding duel,โ but with the potential to affect the very cosmos. And, who knows, maybe Raven might just wind up transformed into her feathery namesake.
4) Lagoon Boy and King Shark

As Sebastian the Crab might put it, weโre diving โunder the seaโ for this oceanic showdown between Lagoon Boy and King Shark. This aquatic clash promises not just brute strength but tidal waves of destruction. The ferocity between them could stir up more than murky waters; thereโs real potential for blood in the water, making this face off worthy of Fight Club status. Imagine Lagoon Boy slashing with claws as King Shark moves away before pulling back to then lunge at the hero, with his massive jaws. They could not only leave abrasions on themselves, but on the environment around them as well, as the two could go careening through coral tower after coral tower. Hopefully Aquaman would be called before any of this got too catastrophic.
3) Deathstroke and Deadshot

Similar names aside, this deadly duo is almost too perfectly matched. A face-off between expert assassins Deadshot and Deathstroke would be a tense, tactical masterpiece. Deadshot, with his high tech-weaponry, could rain down a hail storm of bullets as Deathstroke uses his superhuman agility and endurance to out maneuver the paid assassin. Both are master marksmen so odds are that it wouldnโt just be Deadshot who would pose a danger to their opponent because of their skill with a rifle. Given how evenly matched these two are, it could be a massive conflict with the potential to become explosive, even more so, if Batman was thrown into the mix, as well.
2) Dr. Cyber and Cyborg

This is another thrilling match up between two characters with similar prowess, particularly when it comes to technology, in this case. Cyborg and Dr. Cyber. Their battle would be a fusion of brains and brawn, one where advanced technology becomes both a weapon and shield to the two characters. Cyborgโs arm cannon could release a devastating blast as Cyber perhaps retaliates with a generated shield from gauntlets as the two continue to do battle. Still, thereโs potential for this fight to go digital, as well. The two could launch sophisticated attacks on the other via viruses, while perhaps going so far as to download their consciousness into a virtual battlefield to do more damage there than on the outside. Whether fought in or out of a digital space, though, this match maintains potential to be a captivating one, regardless of method.
1) The Question and The Riddler

This final match-up is a no-brainier: The Question versus the Riddler. Both are brilliant minds, with the Question bringing more physical skill to the table than Riddler, while, the latter, leans into his flair for twisted puzzles and psychological traps. In this potential showdown, Riddlerโs riddles could serve as more than mind games-they could be the keys to avoiding deadly consequences. As Batman remains mysteriously absent in this scenario, The Question might be the only one aware of a larger threat looming over Gotham. What follows is a cerebral chess match turned race against time, where The Question must solve riddle after riddle to stop catastrophe, relying more on deduction than fists until, perhaps, a final confrontation. The tension here would be immense, and, hey, maybe ever Rorschach might drop by for a spell. Whoโs to say?
