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.

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.

Female Superheroes: Elektra

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.
