Doctor Strange vs Zatanna

In Marvel Comics, Doctor Strange is the Sorcerer Supreme and he is almost a god with his powers, he rivals the Surfer's powers and he is one of the most powerful beings on Earth but Zatanna is the greatest Magician in DC Comics, she is powerful as well but who would take it if one were to fight the other? Who would win in a battle?

Doc wins and I don't think that Zatanna is the most powerful sorcerer in DC earth. I think original dr Fate was

Strange, not only because Zatanna is less powerfull but also because her magic can't affect people

I don't know much about either of these mages but I was wondering: Did Dr. Strange's popularity grow when the Harry Potter series became a big hit?

Except for all the times her magic has affected people.

But yeah, Strange takes this.

Welcome to the CV, but if you bump a years-old-thread, try to put more explanation and stuff into your post, especially since majority of the people said Doctor Strange. If you want more info, check the Battles Bible thingy-mobobby that's been stickied.

It wasn't retconned a writer just added it in once to prevent her from insta-winning a fight (I remember the reviewer asking where the hell that made up rule came up from) , same writer probably had her turning people to frogs the next issue.

Actually there was a retcon at the end of the Satellite era that made her magic only elemental ( as in it could only affect the four elements of Wind water fire Earth). It has since been retconned back to the way it was prior.

Doctor Strange 

Doctor Strange wins 'nuff said.

Doctor Strange.

I though Zatanna was a universe+ reality warper... Well, guess I was wrong.

Dr Strange should win.

Doctor strange probably wins but in no way is it easy.

Dr. Strange stomps.

Strange stomps

My head says Strange---

But I think a really on her game Zatanna could take some wins.

Doctor Fate > Doctor Strange >>>>> Zatana > Scarlet Witch

Pre-Secret Wars Strange would stomps.

Post-Secret Wars/Current Strange is nerfed way down, so dunno would he win or not.

Strange

Zatanna has more natural power and affinity for magic and is far more educated since she's been raised in it and taught since birth. Even though I expect marvel bias It's really strange to see so many people completely underrate one of the most powerful Sorceresses in DC comics.

Doctor

Strange.

Strange will not stomp her, she will contend with him, but Strange 10/10

Strange stompss

@punyaamrit: I'm curious. Care to explain how?

with magic of course
