Favorite Female Superheroes

[iSteve]

Time to give a shout out to all the superherines whom we have admired over the years. Please share your favorite(s) and why. Wikipedia has a nice list (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_superheroines) if you need to refresh your memory.

[iSteve]

My personal favorite is Babara Gordon as Batgirl (always thought it should have been Batwoman). I'm a pushover for redheads (I fell in love with Yvonne Craig from the 1960s Batman series as Batgirl). On the serious side, I like her because she's smart and self-reliant. She hung with the big boys and was never intimidated. She is one of the few people who can go toe-to-toe with Batman. And while I wish Barbara Gordon would someday return to the role of Batgirl, I love her as Oracle. She took her disability and made it a strength.

Gotta go with Kitty Pryde. Not only is she a great all-around character, but her power can be used in so many creative ways, both in combat and comedy.

[k-dizzle]

My favorite female superhero is the Wasp, Janet Van Dyne. I have been reading every Avengers book I could find since 1987. Growing up with a Mother and Sister who choose or find themselves in abusive relationships has given her realistic characteristics that echo the real women in my life. Everything about her, including her super power is a direct result of the decisions good or bad that she has made.

[cam-]

Sadly I'm so shallow I often judge my fave's by the artist rendering them.

Ex. I loved Jim Lee's Psylocke.

ANd Amanda COnners Power Girl.

But realistically I'll go with Jessica Jones Alias era. Strong, complicated, well written. Awesome.

I wondered how long it would take for Jessica Jones to come up.

[fred]

I'd go with Barbara Gordon, Kitty Pride, Storm, and Gert from Runaways

it's tough though I feel like I'm forgetting vital characters

[fred]

jessica jones
see? that's just what I was talking about

[iSteve]

I'd go with Barbara Gordon, Kitty Pride, Storm, and Gert from Runaways

it's tough though I feel like I'm forgetting vital characters

Why these women?

[fred]

Why these women?

Barbara Gordon - I've enjoyed a lot in stories she's been in
Kitty Pride - wicked awesome. She's great. She has this awesome strength/vulnerability thing that I love
Storm - I've always been fascinated by. Not even really sure why.
Gert-was an awesome character that I still miss. She was smart and funny and kicked some ass too.
Jessica Jones - was awesome. It was everything, from her past she was trying to avoid to the future she was trying to build. She's probably my favorite of the 5.

[cam-]

I wondered how long it would take for Jessica Jones to come up.

Nice, guess she had to come up eventually, I'm glad I got to her first.

In your face everyone!!! ;)

[fred]

might've gotten to Jessica Jones first but you still live in canada;)

I like the big superheroines like Big Barda, Thundra and She Hulk. Barda is my favorite.

I don't like what this says about me.

holy crap the podcast is up already? cool.

Interesting taste in women.;)

[acomicbookgirl]

Wonder Woman! Hands down. I remember watching Lynda Carter playing her lasso, dark hair and all. Yeah, I remember seeing Firestar (another fave) on Spider-Man and Friends but she had red hair. I wanted to see someone with dark hair and Lynda Carter made my day. I rember begging my mom for her toy when I saw it as Toys R Us. It had a little lasso and everything. When I started collecting comics, a friend of mine lent me his George Perez Wonder Woman issues and loved it. When I started collecting, Phil Jimenez was drawing it and the rest is history.

Emma Frost is another one I have a soft spot for. #116 made me fall in love with her.
Jean: What makes you such a ***** Emma?
Emma: Breeding darling. Top class breeding.

Kitty Pryde is another favorite. Loved her in The Dark Phoenix Saga.

Recent favorites are Spider-Woman and Ms. Marvel.

There's Mary Jane as well. (does she count?)

[fred]

I forgot about that exchange. It was awesome

[acomicbookgirl]

that's my all time favorite moment in that run. :)

[iSteve]

Wonder Woman! Hands down.(does she count?)

I so knew you'd pick Wonder Woman. Of course, she counts. She's freakin' Wonder Woman - the epitome of superheroines.;)

[watsonglenn]

Interesting taste in women.;)

I know and in real life I like petite women.

[darron]

Atom Eve. If for nothing else than her name.

Black Canary. 'Cause she can put up with Ollie.

Huntress. Loved her appearances in Morrisons JLA.

Oracle. Same reason

Psylocke. 'Cause she's hot when Lee draws her.

DKR's Robin. I don't even need a reason for that one.

[labor_days]

Greg Horn draws a nice looking Emma Frost.
http://farm1.static.flickr.com/157/410325244_e721678053_o.jpg

Kitty Pryde, my favorite X-men character. Very cool powers and she's a ninja too.
http://farm1.static.flickr.com/152/410324988_f9379b2db3_o.jpg

X-23 also is pretty cool. Those claws that pop out of her feet are awesome.
http://farm1.static.flickr.com/155/410325194_c02a87815c_o.jpg

I'd take Supergirl over Power Girl over at DC. Who doesn't love godly superpowers?
http://farm1.static.flickr.com/147/410324972_c9fc030898_o.jpg

[darron]

Oooh, I forgot about X-23. She's cool too.

[mastap]

Amanda Waller, 'cause she can scare the crap out of anybody. One of the strongest charachters in comics, of any gender.

[comhcinc]

how about one nobody will remember.......Motormouth.



i am still waiting for her to join the avengers

[masherscf]

I know and in real life I like petite women.

You should not limit yourself so.



I like Buffy, but I'm a bit of a mainstreamer...

[jerome]

I haven't read any of her solo series, but Black Widow's appearances in Bendis' Daredevil were a highlight for me.

[jgg0610]

I haven't read any of her solo series, but Black Widow's appearances in Bendis' Daredevil were a highlight for me.
Her last couple of solo series have been good.

Her along with Power Girl, Emma Frost, and Sydney from Danger Girl would have to be my picks.

[watsonglenn]

I haven't read any of her solo series, but Black Widow's appearances in Bendis' Daredevil were a highlight for me.

Black Widow is why none of Daredevil's romantic problems made sense. He had Natasha and gave her up. After that what differance does it make?

[watsonglenn]

I don't think its possible to draw a bad looking Emma Frost.

[tony-stark-hero]

I'd do the majority of these women.

[iSteve]

I'd do the majority of these women.

Arrrrrggggghhhh!!!! That's exactly what a Tony Stark would say.

[k-dizzle]

I'd do the majority of these women.
huhhh? Oh I forgot your a womanizing alcholic.

[jerome]

Those are actually his good qualities.

[tokenuser]

Provided they are in tights or a body suit ... does it really matter?

[iSteve]

It's a bad time to be a Tony Stark. Hero? Not so much.

[fred]

thought that was kind of a strange name myself

maybe Tony Stark, Dick or Tony Stark, Fascist

but we're just messing with you

[iSteve]

Absolutely. Welcome to the Forum.

[tony-stark-hero]

huhhh? Oh I forgot your a womanizing alcholic.

For some of them you need to be both. Cassandra Nova much?

::shudder::

[fred]

please don't get upset

tears rust armor and then your mask will freeze like that

[fred]

For some of them you need to be both. Cassandra Nova much?

::shudder::

that's awesome. I'd have to drink Wild Turkey out of the bottle to get with Cassandra Nova

[tony-stark-hero]

that's awesome. I'd have to drink Wild Turkey out of the bottle to get with Cassandra Nova

This was a while back, but I'm thinking it was nine Stark Naked Pretzels

3/4 oz Vodka
1 oz Melon Liqueur
1/2 oz Creme de Cassis
2 1/2 oz Pineapple Juice
3 crushed Iron Supplements
Ice

okay guys, ignore my first post. then read fred's, look at the pic and then go back and read mine, sounds good????;)

thanks anyway fred

[labor_days]

Ronin/Echo is a great pick. I really like Maya Lopez as a character too. Her background with Kingpin, the way she took down Daredevil, the hand print on her face- all very cool. She looks badass even with out the Ronin guise.

[fred]

dude really photbucket, mad free mad easy

[alexg]

The answer to this is simple:

Dazzler

[labor_days]

see now your just rubbing it in my face.... listen i know im incompetent with posting pics but two echo pics really?!?!? your just making fun of me aren't you:D :confused:Well, I was trying to be tactful. ;)

(Not to get off topic: But Maya is also one of the more realistically attractive females in comics, IMO. She usually doesn't look like she'd suffer from chronic backache.)

[fred]

The answer to this is simple:

Dazzler

Heard Marvel was putting out a new Essential Dazzler pamphlet
good for them

[mikegraham6]

The answer to this is simple:

Dazzler

has to be disco days dazzler though, complete with disco ball necklace

[labor_days]

I liked the way Dazzler's powers manifest themselves. Rhythmic vibration converted to light & energy. Ultimate Dazzler was in a Punk band! Very cool. Y'know what? The X-men women own this thread.

I loved his covers on the series. Up there with Adam Huges' Wonder Woman covers..

[alexg]

I'm all about the Disco dazzler--look at some of the art posted there! AWESOME. See that's a hero that can be updated, but would never quite be the same, nor can we just import Disco Dazzler to today because of the anarchronism. Hip Hop Dazzler would be tedious, Maybe Deep House Dazzler?

trance rave dazzler, complete with pacifier and two lightsticks

[alexg]

I missed Ultimate Dazzler! Damn, I gotta get those trades I guess (Ultimate X men I assume...) Punk band huh? Not bad.

[jgg0610]

I've seriously considered buying this poster.

[alexg]

That poster is quite nice indeed...

Hmm...I keep picturing dazzler in one of those Slipknot/Mudvayne type metal bands who wear crazy masks an S*&t.

[paper]

Hughes did that great Zatanna cover too. Which is kind of wonky if you actually look at it for too long. The anatomy is just odd.

So I'm told...

I like Echo too. I agree with Labor_days, the realism is pretty appealing. Her origin story was one of the first trades I picked up when I got back into comics.

Well Dazzler was createed by Marvel and a record company, to compete with kiss so this could happen it the future. Give it three or four more years, marvel is out of touch with what is popular at the time, kinda like Captian A.

[fred]

is this the Zatanna cover?

Try again Fred.

[fred]

just realized that was from an advance solicit

EDIT: it's an advance for the poster - think the issue has shipped

[acomicbookgirl]

I've seriously considered buying this poster.

What stopped you?

[paper]

It was the cover for Catwoman 58.

[acomicbookgirl]

I forgot about Batgirl. I loved Yvonne Craig. And what about Julie Newmar as Catwoman. Shoot what's the name of the other woman who played Catwoman. :confused:

[fred]

eartha kitt?

[six-gun]

Wonder Woman
Shadowcat

Favorite Evil Superchick:

Miss Misery (Sleeper)

[big-doze]

Atom Eve is a great one.

Gotta add Zatanna, Jubilee (oh shut up, you love her too), Lois Lane (if she's not super, I don't know who is) Photon (Nextwave version, of course) and Spider-Woman (Julia Carpenter style).

But the #1?

Molly Hayes, of Runaways fame. The other ladies got some love already, but who beats the 12 year old who punched Wolverine out of a church and eats Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs? No one, that's who.

Layla Miller. She knows stuff.

[cam-]

My wife loves Wonder Woman,

Her points, (it's good stuff)

She comes from an island of lesbian women,

Beautiful strong and super cool.

Then she cites the Flash comic with the forest fire where wonder woman teaches the flash about ecology and says let it burn wally. LOL.

Oh and she loves retro girl.

And went as elektra for halloween one year.

I'm a lucky man.

[jgg0610]

What stopped you?
The wife acceptance factor is not too high on comics as it is. I might have a harder time with that if she saw a poster like that hanging in my hobby room.

[jgg0610]

Just went and checked out that Catwoman cover and it is pretty nice. Almost as good as my all time favorite Catwoman cover, #51.

[humphrey-lee]

Wendy Whitebread, Undercover Slut...


Okay, and Kate Spencer.

[kwok_talk]

Man it's been fun reading everyone's lists. Here's mine.

-Molly (Runaways) - Gotta love someone who can level Wolverine and need a nap afterwards
-Susie (Calvin & Hobbes) - The perfect foil to Calvin. And yet you knew they kind of liked each other and just treated each other like jerks b/c that's how kids act
-Kitty Pryde - I've only really taken a liking to her under Whedon's writing. He's really done a great job in making her a vital character
-Willow (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) - I'm guessing she's allowed since Whedon's doing the comic. My fav Willow-era is when they were still in high school and she was just cute and shy before she got all weird and evil in college
-Aunt Rose (Bone) - Because she could beat up the rat creatures
-Psylocke (Jim Lee-era) - Because I was an adolescent teen at that time

[kwok_talk]

how about one nobody will remember.......Motormouth.



i am still waiting for her to join the avengers

Oh geez. I remember her. I picked up issue #1 back when I thought comics would be worth something in the future. She's allowed to join the Avengers once the value of her comic is above what I paid for it.

[big-doze]

-Aunt Rose (Bone) - Because she could beat up the rat creatures



Oh man, Gran'ma Ben! I totally forgot about her! Big props, sir.

[kwok_talk]

Oh man, Gran'ma Ben! I totally forgot about her! Big props, sir.

At first I thought Thorn b/c she was the quiet pretty one, but then I remembered her and couldn't NOT put her on the list after thinking about her roughing up the rat creatures.

[paper]

Just went and checked out that Catwoman cover and it is pretty nice. Almost as good as my all time favorite Catwoman cover, #51.

The one with the Lost numbers. Nice.

Wish they had that in trade. I've been looking around and Catwoman collections jump from around #24 to the most recent one collecting #53 to 58.

[mister-s]

I haven't read any of her solo series, but Black Widow's appearances in Bendis' Daredevil were a highlight for me.

I'll put in for this too. I've really been diggin the X-23 stuff too. Are any of the earlier series available in trade?

Laura is featured prominently is "NYX", "X-23", "Target X" and recently in "New X-Men".

(click image for link)

[xyzzy]

Okay, like everyone else, Jessica Jones.

Molly Hayes is another great pick.

Let's see... who else...

Detective Robyn Slinger from Top 10.

Jenny Sparks from the Authority (and Stormwatch)

Liz Sherman from Hellboy and B.P.R.D.

[cam-]

Detective Robyn Slinger from Top 10.

Nice Props for Top TEN!!

Oh hey that reminds me, what about jakita from Planetary.

She's pretty hot and jumps out of helicopters

Ooooh ooooh and Dr. Girlfriend.

[miguel_from_ithaca]

Favorite female character (and fave X-Man period) is Psylocke. I loved Jim Lee's take on her and the whole psychic ninja British - Japanese angle... she kicked almost as much as Wolvie whenever they teamed up...

and she's sexy.

[jerome]

Jenny Sparks from the Authority (and Stormwatch)


I have an irrational love for Jenny Sparks. The Authority really lost something when she left the book.

[conorkilpatrick]

I forgot about Batgirl. I loved Yvonne Craig. And what about Julie Newmar as Catwoman. Shoot what's the name of the other woman who played Catwoman. :confused:

Julie Newmar, Eartha Kitt, and Lee Meriwether (in the movie).

[iSteve]

Julie Newmar, Eartha Kitt, and Lee Meriwether (in the movie).

Julie Newmar was the cat's meow! Ggggrrrrrr!

[horatio616]

unmarried Jessica Jones from Alias

Rogue

unmarried Storm

unmarried Black Canary

White Queen

[six-gun]

Molly Hayes, of Runaways fame. The other ladies got some love already, but who beats the 12 year old who punched Wolverine out of a church and eats Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs? No one, that's who.

What trade did Molly do that in?

[xyzzy]

What trade did Molly do that in?


It was in the Escape to New York arc. Volume 5 in digests, 2 in the HCs.

[jo-relrollins]

Emma Frost is another one I have a soft spot for. #116 made me fall in love with her.
Jean: What makes you such a ***** Emma?
Emma: Breeding darling. Top class breeding.

I can honestly say I like Emma myself. One of my favs from here was Generation x(well in the beginning of the series)

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b189/mexiefan/34928052456.gif
I mean in this issue she swift kicked Leech in the head,knocking him out cold so she could get her powers. I think the series rocked until after issue 25.


My other fav was and always will be Rogue, i like bad if you can't tell. I also like a majority of the ex-villians. Huh,what does that say about me.

[six-gun]

It was in the Escape to New York arc. Volume 5 in digests, 2 in the HCs.

Thanks, I'm not quite to that Digeest yet

[comhcinc]

Oh geez. I remember her. I picked up issue #1 back when I thought comics would be worth something in the future. She's allowed to join the Avengers once the value of her comic is above what I paid for it.

it's not her fault mavel hasn't done anything with her character.

i think with all the civilwar stuff going on it would be a good time to reintroduce her.

[fred]

Thanks, I'm not quite to that Digeest yet

It's not a spoiler if the trade came out almost a year ago

[darron]

Ooooh ooooh and Dr. Girlfriend.

Great call. That's gotta be one of the funniest shows on TV. Doesn't get nearly enough credit. (Venture Bros, in case you weren't hip to the show he was referring too)


You ever notice how if you look at a word to much it looks like it's spelled wrong? Referring. Referring. Referring. Referring. Anyone...? Bueller?

[labor_days]

What about Renee Montoya? She's always well written and while she doesn't have any powers she still kicks ass.

Messing around with Two-Face, Intergang and all those crazies running around Gotham takes some nerve.
