Interlude

|
Wiz: Superheroines. Millions have been drawn to these modern myths of comic book lore.
Boomstick: Or you could, uh, just be drawn to the way they're drawn.
Wiz: Like Anna Marie, the Rogue.
Boomstick: And Diana Prince, the Wonder Woman.
Wiz: He's Boomstick and I'm Wizard.
Boomstick: And we're here to watch two chicks duke it out! CATFIGHT!
Wiz: It's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills-
Boomstick: And maybe a few other things.
Wiz: -to find out who would win... a Death Battle.
Rogue

The X-Jet by Michael Kamen
|
Wiz: Rogue has possessed a variety of different powers over the years. For this duel in particular, we will use the most well-known version: the original iteration from the comics and television show. Her deadliest weapon is her own skin. With just a touch, she absorbs a person's memories, talents, personalities, and abilities, whether superhuman or not, to use them herself.
Boomstick: Too bad it knocks them out cold. And if she holds on long enough, it's game over.
Wiz: Tenacious foes like Juggernaut can resist it, but in the end, nobody is safe from Rogue's parasitic touch. For every second of contact, Rogue can keep these powers for a full minute. Though sometimes, there's unforeseen side effects.

Boomstick: She held on to Ms. Marvel for so long she absorbed her powers permanently. Now, she's got super strength, speed, and near invulnerability. Not that I blame her, though. I'd be holdin' on to Ms. Marvel for as long as I could! Plus, then when she's unconscious I could-
Wiz: She also gained a seventh sense, the ability to unconsciously predict her opponents' moves.
Boomstick: But her seventh sense doesn't seem to always work. That or the writers just forgot about it 'cause, uh, Rogue gets her ass kicked a lot.
Wiz: For plot convenience.
Boomstick: And damn, she's got a hot ass.
Wiz: What?
Boomstick: Hey, that counts as a superpower in my book, Wiz! But while she's not invincible, she doesn't have any real weaknesses either. She's a classy southern belle, who I'd like to take out to dinner.
Wiz: Who can fly, lift buildings, and kill people just by touching them.
Boomstick: Never mind.
Rogue: Ain't that enough?
Wonder Woman

Ending Theme by Christopher Drake
|
Wiz: To the uneducated nerd, Wonder Woman may seem a cheap clone of Superman.
Boomstick: With Superboobies!
Wiz: But in reality, she's a whole different story. Created from Earth, born by gods, trained by ancient warriors-
Boomstick: Maker of Wonder Bread! Designer of the Wonderbra!
Wiz: Boomstick, that's not true!
Boomstick: See, I can do it too, Wiz!
Wiz: Wonder Woman is the incredibly powerful and near-invincible ambassador of Themyscira, and self-appointed protector of the Earth.
Boomstick: And she dresses like a stripper. A patriotic stripper!
Wiz: Diana Prince has been trained by the Amazons as a master combatant since childhood. She dueled the best of the best for the right to be crowned Wonder Woman. Her unearthly powers are divine, granted by ancient Greek gods and goddesses. From Demeter, she received superhuman strength and durability.

Boomstick: And you know that bitch mailman god with the wingy shoes?
Wiz: Hermes?
Boomstick: Whatever. He gave Wonder Woman the ability to fly and move at hypersonic speed.
Wiz: She was given numerous other powers from enhanced senses, animal rapport, and blessings of wisdom and empathy.
Boomstick: Aside from the obvious cannons rested right below her neck, she's got a pretty bizarre mix of weaponry. Her Lasso of Truth is a piece of unbreakable string that, well, makes you tell the truth.
Hippolyta: What other depraved thoughts must you be thinking?
Steve Trevor: God, your daughter's got a nice rack.
Boomstick: Hell yeah, she does!
Wiz: She uses her tiara as a long-range throwing weapon, using its razor-sharp edge to slice open her enemies' throat.
Boomstick: Wonder Babe here uses the Bracelets of Submission, indestructible steel gauntlets forged from the remains of Zeus' legendary Aegis. These babies can block all sorts of attacks.
Wiz: She has persevered throughout the years, fighting a huge variety of foes, even killing the Greek God of War, Ares.
Boomstick: Hear that, Kratos? A chick beat you to it!
Wonder Woman bashes the edge of the shield down to Mad Harriet.
Wonder Woman: Let's see you smile now!
Prelude
Wiz: Alright, the combatants are set. Let's end this debate once and for all!
Boomstick: But first, I need some singles for my very own Wonder-stripper, thank to GoDaddy.
Wiz and Boomstick read out an advertisement for GoDaddy.
Boomstick: Now it's time for a CAT FIGHT DEATH BATTLE!!!

Rogue is shown flying in the sky. The Invisible Jet descends in background and Wonder Woman flies out. She kicks Rogue in the face, and both superheroines fly down to the ground.

The Battle/Origins by Christopher Drake
|
Wonder Woman throws her tiara at Rogue, runs behind her, and roundhouse kicks her. The kick sends Rogue flying, Wonder Woman then flies after her, kicking her multiple times before dashing behind her again and punching her. She grabs a dazed Rogue with the Lasso of Truth and slams her on the ground numerous times, drags Rogue near her, and uppercuts her in the air. She darts around the airborne Rogue with a flurry of punches.

When she punches Rogue in the face, however, Rogue absorbs some of Wonder Woman's powers, and she absorbs more of her powers when she takes off her glove and touches her leg. While Wonder Woman breaks free, Rogue strikes her from behind, elbows her in the neck, and sends her soaring with a quick kick combo. Wonder Woman throws out her Lasso of Truth again, but Rogue grabs it, tugs it, and slams her on the ground. Rogue flies behind her again and launches her tiara again, but Rogue blocks it, -propelling it back on her head- kicks her in the air and uppercuts her. Wonder Woman stops Rogue with several punches, but her finishing kick is blocked and she is knocked in the air.

Rogue flies after her in the air, and is responded by a commotion of punches, Rogue blocks one of them and delivers some of her own, which is later blocked by Wonder Woman. She is then knocked down to the ground by a dive kick delivered by Wonder Woman. Both combatants fly down to the ground. Wonder Woman dashes towards her with a flying kick, but it is interrupted by Rogue, who grabs her.
Rogue: Good night, sugar!
Rogue proceeds to plant a kiss of death upon Wonder Woman's lips, killing her.
Rogue then strikes a pose.

Main Theme by Michael Kamen

Boomstick: Woo-hoo-hoo! This goes down in history as the best Death Battle ever!
Wiz: Poor Wonder Woman was more than a match for Rogue, but then she touched Rogue's face.
Boomstick: Wonder Woman is a trained fighter, so naturally she would strike her opponent's weakest spots, like the neck, stomach, joints and, well, the face.
Wiz: In the end, her failure was a result of her thorough Amazonian training.
Boomstick: And her stripper outfit! Her leg was just begging to be grabbed there. Though personally, uh, I might have grabbed elsewhere.
Wiz: Wonder Woman's powers may be godly, but Rogue's taken similar powers before, so there's no reason to say she couldn't here. Adding Wonder Woman's strength and speed to Rogue's own power gave her a huge advantage, drastically turning the tide.
Boomstick: A few high flying combos and our favorite X-Girl had Wonder Woman on the ropes.
Wiz: And with her combined reflexes, speed, and seventh sense, she outmaneuvered Wonder Woman with one fatal kiss.
Boomstick: Rogue sure "made out" in this fight!
We cut to the "Rogue" winner card.
Wiz: The winner is Rogue.
Trivia
Production
- The core connections between Rogue and Wonder Woman are that they are both popular comic book superheroines with superhuman strength, speed, and stamina thanks to being members of a different race (Mutants and Amazons, respectively). In addition:
- Both are members of superhero teams (the X-Men and the Justice League, respectively).
- In Death Battle's second Q&A, when asked "Which made your wiener move more? Chun-Li VS Mai Shiranui or Rogue VS Wonder Woman?", Boomstick's answer was Rogue VS Wonder Woman because of its "end-all lesbian makeout session."
- This episode's verdict of Rogue winning has received some backlash since its release, as people in the Death Battle community argue that Wonder Woman's far superior stats and experience make it questionable that Rogue would last long enough to absorb Diana's powers and surpass her.
- The controversial result of this episode was referenced in Deadpool VS Mask, in which Deadpool used the Continuity Gem to show a possible alternate outcome for this episode in which the roles of the winner and loser were reversed, alongside Link VS Cloud (2012), Goku VS Superman 2, Yang VS Tifa, and Gaara VS Toph.
- Boomstick's perverted remarks in Rogue and Wonder Woman's analyses have also received major criticism since the episode's release, with Boomstick mentioning what he'd do to an unconscious Ms. Marvel in Rogue's analysis before being cut off by Wiz being especially infamous for how uncomfortable it is.
