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.

In addition to her mutant powers, Kitty is also an extremely adept at applied sciences, and possesses skill in hand to hand combat.

Female Superheroes

Wonder Woman
Real Name: Diana Prince
Particularly known for her beauty (and her red, blue and gold outfit), Diana Prince, AKA Wonder Woman, came from a matriarchal tribe of Greek Amazons, and was charged with bringing peace to the world of man. Possessing the powers of super strength, enhanced speed, flight, and the ability to force people to tell the truth (via her magic ‘lasso’), Wonder Woman remains one of the most sexist and iconic super heroines of all time.

Real Name: Selena Kyle
Usually pictured as doCatwomannning a skin tight, black leather outfit, this feline is one of Bruce Wayne’s on again, off again girlfriends. A ferocious fighter and thief, Selena Kyle was originally a flight stewardess with amnesia, but more recent storylines give her a grittier origin, revealing her past as a tough-as-nails dominatrix/prostitute who loves cats.

Female Superheroes: Elektra

Female Superheroes

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.

Female Superheroes: She-Ra

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.

She is well trained as an assassin and is an accomplished fighter, as well as a weapons specialist. Her form fitting black suit often comes well equipped and allows her to climb walls. Although she technically does not have a superpower, her special training combined with her adept use of the latest in cutting edge technology leaves her as a force to be reckoned with.

Scarlet Witch

Female Superheroes

Scarlet Witch
Real Name: Wanda Maximoff
Sister to Quicksilver and daughter of Magneto, Wanda Maximoff comes from an extremely powerful family. She is often considered one of the most powerful mutants in history, as her ability manipulates probability and allows her to alter realities. She is also depicted as one of the most unstable mutants, as her dangerous lifestyle and many heartbreaks leave Wanda in constant emotional turmoil. Her innocent nature gives her the best of intentions, although it’s often left to interpretation if the results are positive or negative.

Female Supeheroes: Phoenix

Female Superheroes : Phoenix

Phoenix
Real Name: Jean Grey
Jean Grey is perhaps best known for being one of the greatest telepathic minds in the Marvel Universe. Jean first manifests her mutant power as a young girl, telepathically linking with a friend as she dies. While the shock leaves Jean in a coma, it also brings Professor X into her life, who suppresses part of her power so that she could learn how to grow into it ‘naturally’. With this, Jean becomes the first female "X-Man" and takes on the name Marvel Girl. Later however, while the X-Men are attempting to come back to earth from space on a damaged ship, intense radiation from landing causes this block to break, and Jean emerges as the Phoenix.

Lara Croft

Female Superheroes

Lara Croft
Although not a superhero, Lara Croft’s love for adventuring and danger put her in many precarious situations. She is often seen as a headstrong and extremely confident, and also extremely fun-loving – almost an adrenaline junkie. She is also of British decent and speaks with a strong English accent. Lara is extremely proficient with almost any type of gun, and is almost always pictured as duel-wielding matching handguns.

SuperGirl

Female Superheroes

SuperGirl
Real Name: Kara Zor-El, Kara Kent
Kara Zor-El came to adopt the last name of her cousin, Clark Kent. Although technically older than her cousin, her ship was caught in a kryptonite meteor and was suspended for years until she finally managed to make it to earth. Now, she has all the abilities that Superman does – super human strength, speed, stamina, super vision and lung capacity. In fact, observers note that in many cases, Super Girl actually appears to be stronger and more powerful than Superman himself.

Rogue

Female Superheroes
Rogue
Real Name: Anna Marie
A self proclaimed southern belle, Anna Marie is a mutant and a member of Charles Xavier’s X-Men. Better known to the mutant community as “Rogue”, she has the ability to absorb thoughts, memories, knowledge, and superhuman powers. Unfortunately, this leaves her strictly, “look but don’t touch”, since prolonged skin to skin contact usually leaves the other person severely weakened, in a coma or dead. For this reason, Rogue is most often seen in a neck to toe, skin tight and gloved body suit, as so to minimize the chances of inadvertently harming someone.
