Welcome to our speculative stadium, where legends duke it out and winner takes all! All what? No one knows! We’re just here to have fun!
This week we’re celebrating some of the biggest superheroes of all: MOMS!
Throughout DC there’s a lot of great moms, and also a ton of really bad moms. However, today, we’re celebrating two of the absolute BEST moms in the DC universe!
This is NOT a question about who would win in a fight, but who is the best mom! Give us your reasoning and vote, below!
Martha Kent vs. Queen Hippolyta

WW’s mom didn’t even want her to be WW. Martha Kent gave us Superman.
Plus, I bet she bakes better pies. Who doesn’t like pie?!?

I suppose Ma Kent is the more supportive mother, but she’s kinda boring (except maybe in Birthright). Hippolyta offers us a more compelling and complex mother/daughter relationship. Plus, she was in a Shakespeare play. Take that, Martha…or Mary…or Sarah. Whatever your name is.

There are some great versions of Hippolyta, and some not-so-great ones… but Martha is always the best.

And good Kent boys drinking [REDACTION: We here at DC Comics would never depict Superman drinking an alcoholic beverage. As such, we have chosen to reissue this post with "SODA POP’ in lieu of the original lyric.]

There would be no Superman without Martha, but Wonder Woman is in spite of Hippolyta.
The world would be in big trouble if Kal-El didn’t have Martha as his parent.

Martha Kent has always been supportive and along with Pa Kent helped bring the world Superman. Ma Kent has always given Clark great advice plus, the pie thing is a big plus as well!

I’m very tempted to say “Alfred.”
Over her history, Hippolyta has made some very good decisions and some very bad ones, and her relationship with Diana has occasionally been pretty strained. Now, I think that makes Hippolyta a more interesting character, sure, but I wouldn’t say she’s the better mother.

Hippolyta can be way too stuck up, Martha Ken is more approachable for advice

Martha. She taught Clark compassion and loved him no matter what. She and Pa Kent are the ones who influenced superman the most to become who he is. Also, she is probably a great listener and advice giver. Baked goods can fix any problem. Definitely the better mother figure.
However, if it comes for advice on tactics and petty revenge, I’m calling Hippolyta.
