Spider-Woman vs Hawkgir

Hm, Spider-Woman? What's Hawkgirl's durability like?

Hey I missed the L....sorry lol

wow... a thread that actually could be interesting... 
 
Ok, i'll bite... 
 
Hawkgirl is pretty tough when it comes to stamina and durability... though her battle skills aren't upto scratch with Hawkmans, she's definitely no slouch in the area... 
 
I think her agility and Nth metal weapon give her the upper hand here, not to mention her flight can keep her away from Spider-Woman for most of the fight before taking her out with a few well placed blows.

HawkGirl. 

i've never seen Spider-woman as agile as Hawkwoman... she's agile enough to keep up with Martian manhunter while flying during a battle... so i can see her having the upper hand in most of this battle

To be fair though, I doubt the Martian was flying top speed. Hawkgirl is fast but not that fast.  "

no he wasn't at top speed, but it was during a battle, leaving her to swirl through the battle with him  M "

I have discussed this before on another thread (this is not a dupe though; it was a team battle thread). It is an interesting fight. Both have comparable strength levels, and both can fly. However, I think Hawkgirl may be faster and more maneuverable though. On the other hand, Spider-Woman has bioelctricity blasts that she can fire. Hawgirl may be able to avoid or deflect these though, but if she were hit, it could be fairly effective against her. Drew also has some combat training from Taskmaster while she was with HYDRA. But it probably would not fare well for her in a close-quarter combat situation against Hawkgirl due to her own combat skill and her mace. This is why this is actually a good battle. Overall, I may give a majority to Hawkgirl simply because of her flight speed (which I believe supersedes Jessica's) and her Nth metal enhancements and mace.

wouldn't Drew be hard to hit with her agility, I'd imagine you would have to cock the mace back "

" @HumanNumber: true, the only reason I'd say Jessica wins is she'd be quicker, I would think (not flying speed) "

" @cattlebattle: Hawkgirl is not lacking in speed though, especially in flight where she will be attacking from, as I already addressed. Besides, like I said, Drew is no top tier fighter anyway. I agree this a close fight though.  "

I believe their nth metal (like the cartoon)

Drew isn't a top tier fighter but she's a better fighter than Hawkgirl. Also Hawkgirl may not be LACKING in speed but her speed isn't going to help her that much because her maneuverability is the issue.She flies by the use of her wings so by nature she's handicapped it is impossible for her to be maneuverable enough to keep up with Jessica.In a fight with someone who not only has superhuman speed but is an amazing acrobat, it's going to be really hard for Hawkgirl to get hits off. "

But Hawkgirl does have superior flight speed, based on showings. She also applies her flight much more in combat than Jessica does. Also, Hawkgirl does have impressive maneuverability. She applies flight in combat constantly and has shown to be agile in the air when she needs to be.  "

Jessica can't even fly.I don't know what you're talking about.When Jessica was flying it wasn't her it was Queen Veranke..  

I don't know why Jessica would bother flying against Hawkgirl either way.Hawkgirl has impressive maneuverability? What are you using as proof?  

Spider-Woman will not take this aerial unless she's using her agility.Hawkgirl has no long range capability so she would have to come get Jessica...with her speed and agility it's not going to be easy for Hawkgirl to hit her..also Jessica is a trained h2h combatant.She was trained by S.H.I.E.L.D and Taskmaster as a HYDRA agent.So she has some skill connected to her dodging ability.Not to mention attacking.

She flew in Spider-Woman: Origins.

Most of her fights. Flight her modus operandi in combat. She will take toward an opponent and attack them with her mace, but she has shown to be maneuverable in combat as well. In fact, even in Brightest Day recently she has fought aerially in a decently agile form.

"

She has never really done anything noteworthy in hand to hand though. She is a decent fighter, but most of the opponents she has downed through skill were just canon fodder. Taskmaster training her amounts to very little; feats are more important.  "

 1.She wasn't flying under her own powers.The wings on her suit allowed her to float on air currents.Which is why any time you saw her flying you never saw her take off only saw her in the air.She cannot just up and fly. 

2.The question is who did she fight for her maneuverability to be proven.If it wasn't someone with comparable agility and speed to Jessica then my point still stands.Hawkgirl is only as maneuverable as she can be in flight.To be able to hit someone with Jessica's level of acrobatic ability should prove nearly impossible, Hawkgirl would have to move at incredible speed to be able to change directions fast enough to catch someone who is maneuvering acrobatically.

3.Feats actually AREN'T important her.Hawkgirl hasn't done anything noteworthy either.I'm not comparing Jessica to someone who actually has a good level of fighting skill. "

Alright. My mistake then. I only read that series once, and it was a while ago. I will concede to that. My bad.

She displayed some maneuverability against opponents who could fly themselves. They were similar to her to in that they had wings, but I would rather not try to explain. It ties into Brightest Day as a whole, and that would simply take a while to describe and bares no relevance on this anyway.

It is important given the fact that Hawkgirl will not be fighting her hand to hand. If this were an unarmed fight, then I would give it to Drew. But fighting an opponent who will be flying into combat using a mace to attack and who is actually skillful with that weapon would require some level of competency in a fight to counterattack. I am not trying to discount Drew's fighting skill, but it only translates to this situation so well.  "

Fighting skill is fighting skill.If Hawkgirl doesn't have any real feats against skilled opponents with the use of her Mace then she's in the same boat as Jessica 

and flying at Jessica will do nothing.She will see it coming a mile away every time and dodge it.

Spider-Woman also has energy projection which gives her the range advantage.

Hawkgirl will have no choice but to engage Jessica in close combat.Flying will handicap her. "

Fair point. Not the most knowledgeable person on Hawkgirl; so if she does have combat feats, I am not the person who would know about them. I will have to concede to you on that also.

My initial point was that she would fly toward her and attack her via mace. I never meant that she would simply blitz over and over again, although, theoretically, she could. I agree that Jessica could dodge that attack, given her reflexes and agility, but she is not untouchable (not that you implied that). 
 

Spider-Woman also has energy projection which gives her the range advantage.

I mentioned and addressed this earlier in the thread, and I think Hawkgirl could deflect this using her mace. Nth metal is easily durable enough to tank it. Unless Jessica has fired her bioelectricity in broad bursts, I see no reason why Hawkgirl would be incapable of blocking it considering that her Nth metal increases speed. If Spider-Woman has used it in wider manners though, just let me know.

I still am not seeing flying as a handicap. If anything, it would allow her pull away from a close-quarter fight if she is on the losing end. Yes, Spider-Woman has electrical attacks she can fire, but in flight speed, that should be easy to avoid. Not to mention, in close-quarter combat, Jessica will have to avoid her strikes. Blocking or parrying them would be counterproductive for her since she could never do that without being harmed by it. She is fast and skilled, but I have a difficult time seeing her avoid every strike Hawkgirl throws.  "

" @Vance Astro: Alright. So, she has used it in wider bursts. Thanks for the scans. In that case, that could be a serious advantage for her. If Hawkgirl were to fight her straightforwardly, she could use that as a countermeasure if she needs it.   So then I agree Spider-Woman can win this. Good discussion.  "
