The verdict: Doom has the edge

Fight rules: both fighters at their peak, no preparation, no allies, only their own powers and personal gear. A win is a knockout, a restraint they can't escape, or a forced surrender. The percentages are fan estimates, not official information.

Doom's edge

She was raised to serve him. Black Swan's order worships Rabum Alal, the Great Destroyer, and Rabum Alal turned out to be Doom (New Avengers vol. 3 #31, 2015). He built that religion and knows its teachings and its limits better than she does.

Black Swan's edge

Telepathy, force fields, flight and optic blasts, the strength to lift around twenty tons, eyes that see an Incursion coming, and a survivor's ruthlessness learned watching her own world die.

Who is Black Swan?

Real name: Yabbat Ummon Tarru
Origin: A princess of an alternate Earth destroyed in an Incursion
Order: The Black Swans, servants of Rabum Alal
First appearance: New Avengers vol. 3 #1 (2013)
Created by: Jonathan Hickman and Steve Epting

Black Swan was born a princess on another Earth. When it collided with a second universe in an Incursion, the Black Priests massacred its people, and she was the only survivor. The Black Swans raised her to serve Rabum Alal, the Great Destroyer, and to destroy Earths so that others could live. She came to Earth-616 to do exactly that; Black Panther stopped her, and the Illuminati held her prisoner while she explained the Incursions to them (New Avengers vol. 3, 2013). After the Illuminati fell apart, Namor and Maximus freed her, and she joined the Cabal (New Avengers vol. 3 #23, 2014). Her god turned out to be Doctor Doom, who had built the Black Swans' religion as a weapon against the Beyonders (New Avengers vol. 3 #31–33, 2015). She survived the end of the multiverse in the Cabal's life raft (Secret Wars #1), stood at Doom's side in Castle Doom as he watched the rebellion against him (Secret Wars #7), and fought Star-Lord inside the castle as it fell (Secret Wars #8).
