Female Superheroes: Elektra
Real Name: Elektra Natchios
Elektra Natchios is a rare superhero in that her ‘powers’ are mainly attributed to her extreme skill as a ninja. While Elektra does not have any super abilities, she has naturally enhanced her physical form to the point that her movement and reflexes seem superhuman. Her weapon of choice tends to be the Japanese Sai, but she is also skilled in hand to hand combat, use of the katana, throwing knives, and daggers. Although she is in love with Matt Murdock (also known as Daredevil) her tendency toward violence and her lust for the mercenary lifestyle keep the two apart.

Another Kryptonian, the extremely athletic Power Girl possesses the power of increased stamina, strength, x ray vision and super speed. Although she left Krypton at roughly the same time Superman did, she took much longer to arrive on earth. Power Girl was once a member of the Birds of Prey, but leaves the group when a rift grows between her and the Oracle, the Birds of Prey leader. A formidable opponent in her own right, Power Girl is a critical part of the Justice Society, where she becomes chairwoman after the former leader retires.

Real Name: Princess Adora
Kidnapped by the Horde as a baby to do the Horde's bidding, Princess Adora does not realize her birthright as She-Ra until she encounters her brother He-Man in an alternate dimension, where he was captured. The siblings do not recognize each other, as He-Man's mind (and all those in his dimension home) had been erased of her memory. The sword that He-Man carries with him, however, draws Adora to it. Seeing the Sorceress in the sword (one of the only people that still hold memory of her as a child), Adora recognizes her heritage and frees He-Man from captivity. Finally able to go home, Adora realizes that her rightful place is with the people she has come to know under the Horde's rule and returns to join the cause in freeing them.
