Storm

Female Superheroes

Storm

Real Name: Ororo Munroe

Ororo Munroe was born in New York City to a Kenyan tribal princess and an American photojournalist named David Munroe. Orphaned at a young age in Cairo, Egypt, Ororo, who later adopts the name Storm, possesses the power to manipulate the weather. During her childhood, Storm acquires skills in thievery and subsequently becomes revered as a rain goddess by an African tribe in the Serengeti. 

It is during this period that she is invited by Professor Charles Xavier to join the X-Men. Although she emerges as a formidable leader within the X-Men, Storm has been depicted as struggling to adapt to Western culture (for instance, she does not comprehend the necessity of covering herself in a public bath), and ultimately departs from the X-Men upon marrying Black Panther, the King of Wakanda, thereby ascending to the role of Queen.

Ms. Marvel

Real Name: Carol Danvers

Carol Danvers was an ordinary teenage girl who enlisted in the Air Force after completing her high school education. However, following an explosion triggered by an extraterrestrial device from the Kree species, she acquires superhuman abilities that allow her to assume the identity of Ms. Marvel. After enduring numerous challenges involving alien races, alternate dimensions, and an assault by the X-Men's Rogue, Carol Danvers ultimately becomes a member of, and takes on a leadership role within, the Avengers.

Female Superheroes: Rogue

Buffy Summers

Female Superheroes Buffy Summers A former cheerleader, Buffy Summers is a Slayer, one of The Chosen, “She who spends a lot of time in graveyards”. Her superpowers – enhanced strength, speed and agility – were given to her when the previous slayer died, ‘activating’ the innate ability in her. While Slayers don’t normally last very long, Buffy has survived (and stopped) several apocalypses, defeated dozens of truly terrifying demons, and has even survived death (twice). She is a unique Slayer, as her rebellious nature and kind heart has helped her to forge lifetime friendships, something that is key in helping her survive and rise above the challenges that the underworld has thrown her (not to mention her keen fashion sense and sense of humour). “She saved the world. A lot.” Female Superheroes Rogue.

Jean Grey

Jean Grey

Jean Grey was the first X-Woman, and even bore the name of her publishing company as Marvel Girl before transitioning to her Phoenix identity in the ‘70’s. But she’s more than just the first female mutant superhero – she’s also emblematic of the entire X-Men franchise, and one of the most complex, well developed characters in comic books.
She may have started out in the typical Marvel superheroine model, but later adventures saw Jean develop a level of depth that many ensemble cast members never achieve. Between her ever developing relationship with Scott Summers, her vast and terrifying power levels, her descent into madness as the Dark Phoenix, and her penchant for self-sacrifice and redemption, Jean experienced more in her tenure as a hero than almost anyone.

Wasp

Wasp

Janet Van Dyne was not only the first female Avenger, and a founder, but also the hero who named the team when they first formed. Though she started out as something of a sidekick to her on-again-off-again (currently off-again) paramour Hank Pym, Janet quickly became a hero in her own right, leading the Avengers several times, and often acting as the team’s moral center.
When crafting this list, it came down to putting either Wasp or Captain Marvel in this spot. And while Captain Marvel may be more prominent now, her trajectory has been spotty, taking her from being a damsel in distress, to a perpetual victim, to leading the Avengers and her own intergalactic defense team, while Wasp’s arc has been far more consistent. Add to that her historical significance, and it’s easy to see why she’s one of the greatest female heroes ever to grace the printed page.

And while viewers got a glimpse of Janet Van Dyne in action in Ant-Man, she's said to be taking on a more prominent (and eponymous) role in the sequel, Ant-Man and the Wasp with Janet’s daughter Hope Van Dyne taking on the mantle.

She-Hulk

She-Hulk

In some ways, She-Hulk is the ultimate expression of feminine power. She’s indestructible, super-strong, and without inhibition – all of this with the mind of a high-powered attorney wrapped inside those unparalleled green muscles.
And while she may seem like a typical spin-off character (obviously riffing on her somewhat more famous cousin Bruce Banner), She-Hulk takes the concept of a gamma-irradiated hero to a totally different level, embracing her alter ego and living life to the fullest.

In some ways, She-Hulk also broke other boundaries introduced an indestructible, fourth-wall-breaking hero with a sense of humor years before Deadpool grew a similar schtick.

She-Hulk was Deadpool before there even was a Deadpool.

Kitty Pryde

Kitty Pryde

The young female hero is an important archetype in comic book, and one for which we considered many representatives, including DC’s Donna Troy and Starfire. In the end, however, Kitty Pryde is the candidate that best represents the heroic ingénue, serving as the window into the X-Men for an entire generation of fans.
Kitty may have been a superhero from very early on, but she was also a regular teenager with interests, attitudes, and character dynamics that made her a perfect POV character for the intense soap opera of the X-Men. But even more than that, Kitty has been able to grow and adapt in a way most comic book characters – let alone female comic book characters – are never allowed to do.

Comic book fans have watched Kitty grow from an excitable teenager, to a competent superhero, to a ninja and espionage expert, and finally into her current role as one of the leaders of the Guardians of the Galaxy, having taken the role of Star-Lord from her one-time fiancée Peter Quill.
