Creating hypothetical situations is the pride and joy of every nerd. If Frodo traveled to Mordor with Beetlejuice, how could that change the story of Lord of the Rings? If Hermione fell in love with Draco Malfoy instead of Ron, would she become a Slytherin? And if the Disney princesses were all thrown into the universe of Mortal Kombat, who would win? 

Now, I know it's no secret that a lot of the Disney gals were damsels in distress. With a lot of the classics being made before women were considered assets in combat, a lot of the Disney princesses we imagine feel fragile, whimsical, and certainly not prepared for a finishing move. However, there are some tough ol' birds out there in the Disney world–especially of late. 

Who would you choose as you fighter if it came down to the Disney princesses? Elsa is essentially a demi-god that controls ice and forms of life. Mulan is a hardened warrior and destroyer of rogue nations. And Pocahontas was likely no stranger to brutality. You be the judge on which of these 'damsels' that could win a flawless victory over Johnny Cage in hand-to-hand kombat.

Fatality!

    Matt Freeman @Argyle_N1nja Mar 12 In order, Mulan, Elsa, Merida. Maybe Jasmine, if she's allowed to bring Rajah.

    Songbird (Tadpoled) @SongbirdN7 Jokes aside I'd swap Elsa with Mulan, my friend in the replies reminded that her ice powers are actually insanely OP and can even create sentient life. Mulan does not hesitate to kill tho so she does have that unique advantage compared to the others LOL

    Mentats @Mentats11 Elsa can create life and fire ice blasts.

    Songbird (Tadpoled) @SongbirdN7 Honestly yeah Elsa is OP but I'd also like to imagine that Mulan would find a way to blow her up.

    elle @cometcastiel Follow tbh it depends on where this battle is going down: i think elsa, mulan, merida, and possibly pocahontas are strong contenders. but if this battle is near the ocean, ariel's dad may try to cook them all.

    18 Jakob Kennec @CryoJakobFrost Follow Take away all their magical abilities and actually focus on their skill. This battle realistically would come down to a battle between Pochahantas, Mulan and Merida.

    Taylor Welton @TWWelton Follow Ignoring the obvious because they've already been mentioned (Mulan, Elsa, and Merida), I think Rapunzel might have a few tricks up her sleeve with that hair, and her frying pan of course

    Jasper @Last_500 Follow Elsa is the only one with "actual super powers" are y'all insane. Minus Elsa from the running, def top three Mulan, Merida, and Pocahontas (don't know which order though)
    via Last_500

    Mathtron 5000 @Mathtron5000 Follow Is this postmovie or at the height of their power? Because if it's at max strength, Rapunzel has regeneration powers and that would prove useful on the battlefield

    NOBODY @THE_UNCARING Follow Gonna have to go with Sub-zero, oops! I mean Elsa

    Orph Follow @Orph_Gaming Avalanche not available, who wins? Lol
    via Orph_Gaming
  • 17
    Verena @VerenaSoul Follow Elsa, Mulan, Merida and Ariel if she takes her father's trident. Also, Ariel from the second movie with her daughter. She's much more mature then and mayhaps Jasmine too if she teams up with Genie and brings Rajah

    Thee Unhinged E Follow @8_bit_barbie if we take all powers out of the equation and only count solo combat and survival skills it goes Mulan > Merida > Pocahontas > Rapunzel > Tiana > Ariel > Anna > Belle > Elsa > Cinderella > Jasmine > Snow White > Aurora
