In the Marvel and DC Universes, there are two premier sorceresses- Zatanna and Scarlet Witch. Both have been members of each universe's biggest superteam- the Justice League and the Avengers. Both of them have performed some pretty great feats of magic over the years. Both of them have amassed sizable fan followings and are favorites on the cosplay circuit.

Comic fans love to put their favorites up against each other and these two are no different. Each one is very powerful, but if they were to battle, which one would be the victor? This list is going to break down their strengths before crowning a winner.

11 Scarlet Witch: Master of Insanity

Scarlet Witch has lost her marbles more than once. Most people know about the time she nearly destroyed the Avengers during "Avengers: Disassembled" or the time she re-created the Marvel Universe in House Of M (expanded upon below), but these weren't even the times she went crazy, they were just the most well known.

Scarlet Witch loses her marbles a lot and while this may seem like a liability, losing control allows her to acess a level of power that she cannot reach when she is trying to remain calm and collected. For her, it truly is an asset.

10 Zatanna: Born This Way

Daughter of the magician Zatarra and Sindella, Zatanna is special offshoot of human called a homo magi. This means that she was born with magical ability. She grew up with the ability to use magic and learned from one of the most powerful sorcerers around, her father.

Magic for Zatanna is like breathing. It's always been a part of her life and she's gotten so good at it that beings from around the DC Universe come to her when they need help with mystical threats. When you're Batman's go-to whenever he has a magic problem, then you're pretty great at what you do.

9 Scarlet Witch: Hex Powers

Scarlet Witch's powers aren't actually magical in nature, at least they weren't at first. Her powers were classified as hex powers which required a certain level of training, power, and control to master. Using her abilities she was able to alter the probability of things happening around her.

This power would grow over the years and she would eventually learn to use magic, but at first her powers were not magic based at all which gives her a certain edge.

8 Zatanna: Spellcasting Tongue Twisters

Unlike a lot of other magic users, Zatanna doesn't need to learn spells or things like that. Of course, she does know spells and things of that nature because Zatanna is nothing if not a professional, but her actual spellcasting method is quite novel- she just has to say it backwards.

Anything she can say backwards, she can make happen. First off, it's just impressive that she can talk backwards so well. Secondly, it allows her to do just about anything she needs at any given time. Now, it's debatable if she can do some of the things that Scarlet Witch can do with her powers, but this still makes Zatanna a powerful foe.

7 Scarlet Witch: Ancient Education

Agatha Harkness Scarlet Witch

Scarlet Witch would eventually learn actual magic from Agatha Harkness. Once the nanny of Franklin Richards, she would take Scarlet Witch under her wing and train her in the ways of magic. Agatha was revealed to be one of the original witches from Salem, Massachusetts.

Agatha is one of the most powerful witches around with hundreds of years experience. She has returned from the dead several times (one of those deaths was at Wanda's hands) and can use her magic to perform all kinds of amazing feats. Wanda couldn't have asked for a better teacher.

6 Zatanna: Known And Feared Throughout The Magical World

Zatanna is known for her cheery disposition and her amazing magic shows. She's one of the most level headed heroes around, using her magic in the defense of mankind. She rarely loses her cool and this definitely helps her in her battles with all of the assorted demons, monsters, and dark gods she encounters.

However, this doesn't mean that she can't be scary or hardcore. Zatanna is known and feared throughout the magical world of the DC Universe. She's a hyper competent magic user who rarely fails. Her enemies may have underestimated her at first, but over the years they've learned differently.

5 Scarlet Witch: Impressive Feats

Scarlet Witch's powers have increased exponentially over the years. She went from just being able to use her hex powers to mess with her opponents to learning to use powerful magic to being able to actually change reality. During the events of "Avengers Disassembled", she was able to conjure up all kinds of old Avengers threats, including multiple Ultrons and a Kree armada.

However, that was nothing compared to what she did in House Of M. Scarlet Witch was able to completely change the world, making mutants the dominant species and giving all of her hero friends their heart's desires. However, after that went south, she depowered the vast majority of the mutant population, leaving only 198 out of what was once millions.

4 Zatanna: Impressive Mindwipes

Identity Crisis is an extremely polarizing story for a lot of reasons. A lot of fans didn't like how Sue Dibny was treated in the book and their criticisms are very valid. However, one of the best parts of the story is the conspiracy inside the Justice League as a group of heroes decided to mindwipe Dr. Light after his horrific assault of Sue Dibny. It was even revealed that this wasn't the first time the League had to do this to one of their opponents.

The power behind these mindwipes? Zatanna. She was able to use her magic to mess with the minds of the League's opponents... and one of their members.

3 Scarlet Witch: One Of The Most Powerful Beings In The Universe

It's impossible to downplay how powerful Scarlet Witch really is. Usually, it takes some kind of object of ultimate power to do some of things that Scarlet Witch has done. Her feats during the "Avengers: Disassembled" storyline were amazing enough, but completely altering the reality of the planet?

That's some next level power right there and that's not even taking into consideration that her little declaration of "No More Mutants" was revealed in Warren Ellis's criminally underrated Astonishing X-Men run to have affected the entire multiverse. Wanda Maximoff is easily one of the most powerful beings in the entire Marvel Universe.

2 Zatanna: Push Past The Limits

Zatanna is not the powerful magic user in the DC Universe. People like the Phantom Stranger, Doctor Fate, or Madame Xanadu are more powerful and experienced than her. Her unique spellcasting ability gives her the upper hand in many contests but from a power level perspective, she's not the most powerful.

Zatanna knows her limits and what she can and can't do, but she doesn't let that stop her. She's learned to use her limits to her advantage and take down enemies that she shouldn't have any chance against because of this.

1 Winner: Zatanna

Yes, Scarlet Witch is way more powerful than Zatanna. When one can change reality, they hold the upper hand in a lot of situations. However, Scarlet Witch doesn't just start a fight by changing the universe around her opponent.

Zatanna is smart. She's had to think her way through way more fights than Scarlet Witch against opponents who are more powerful than her and she's usually on her own in these battles. Zatanna isn't going to let the fight get to a point where Scarlet Witch can overpower her.
