Pearl kinda just wins, theres not really any disadvantage she has here

^

Okoye's spear is stronger it's made of vibranium one of the strongest Alloys in Marvel Universe

Okoye has the strongest and toughest weapon.

But Pearl is physically superior, WAY superior if you scale her to Lapis Lazuli.

I don't see why the poll is 50/50, Pearl pretty much holds every single advantage, even without taking holo-pearls into account.

And yes, I realize that canonically Pearl never uses them in an actual fight, however, that's more for plot reasons since theoretically holo-pearls would be a potential story-breaking power, it's the same reason Weiss Shcnee from RWBY doesn't use her time dilation anymore post volume 2.

In a death battle setting that kind of limitation is removed.

^ There are two possible explanations:

- A few people don't really know how strong Steven Universe verse is, excluding Steven and the other Diamonds. The main "way" to find a Power Level is reading the VSBW page, which put Pearl at Town, lower than what people usually buy for Street Marvel characters (City).

- People can also choose their favorite verse, so the most popular verse (Mario, Marvel, ...) often has an advantages in polls. I remember my Electro VS Livewire poll also ended in 52/48.

But in both cases, it's better is to ignore the poll results and stay on our own opinion/conclusions.

Okoye's experience is better she's helped wakanda fight off way worse threats like namor, Doctor Doom, & thanos
