March Multimedia Multiverse Madness, Match 3: Kuvira v. Cassandra Cain

Fighting now: Kurvira from Legend of Korra

Homegirl has the brains to think big picture while fighting one on one. Cass is more often than not running around crippled by her PTSD. Down to the details: Hung-Gar itself is the most balanced and powerful of the Chinese martial disciplines. That’s Tiger style (hard power) and Crane style (soft power).

Add to that what Kuvira has at her immediate disposal: armor plates from head to toe that can be used to create projectiles AND a dynamic moving defense. Kuvira can move armor wherever she needs to at any time. Oh, and THE EARTH ITSELF is at her beck and call. Gotta put some respect on Cassandra Cain’s name, her list of feats are extraordinary; Kuvira and Cassandra are each brilli…
