@pokeysteve: I have agreed with many of your past posts (and am very grateful for you taking part in some of my threads) but I think you are in error when you say Widow is a "weak link". Natasha could MORE than give Canary a serious run for her money (and possibly beat her) because:
Widow fought Electra to a standstill (in a TRUE stalemate, not just an interrupted fight) in Black Widow issue 3, despite undergoing major surgery a few days before; defeated her former husband The Red Guardian who stalemated Steve Rogers Captain America in a protracted fight in The Avengers issue 44; defeated that same Captain America in his OWN BOOK (in the closing moments of the battle she maneuvered behind him and tapped his shoulder, causing him to instinctively turn and strike where she SHOULD have been, but she cleverly used her spider like ability to cling to the ceiling above him; so as he struck the wall behind him harmlessly she used that split second of vulnerablity to blast him with her Widow's Bite, taking him down and out); and in Marvel Fanfare issue 12 she, while having her hands tied behind her back for a good part of the time, defeated 5 of six deadly assassins (N'kama, Laralie, The Black Lotus, Deadshot Darrance and Kono) and later took down the sixth (long time Marvel villain The Iron Maiden). Anyone who can do the things I mentioned (and a lot more feats I can name) is NOBODY'S "weak link".
To me this is a tough battle that could go either way. If Panther has prep in either battle, however, I give the nod to team Marvel (which I hate to admit, 'cause I "like" DC better---sigh).
