The Greatest Female Superstars Of All Time

Female superheroes are in vogue- all thanks to Marvel Studios that recently unveiled the first looks of the popular ‘Ms. Marvel and ‘She-Hulk,’ Among the major streaming shows art MCU. These two certainly occupy the leading spots. But these aren’t the only ones that constitute female superheroes. Captain Marvel, Wanda Maximoff, and Black Widow have already been trendsetters in the last few years, and now the industry looks bright and happening for superheroines.

What’s great is how the so-called flawed perception of female superheroes is emerging to make a mark in the otherwise male-dominated industry. From studios to publishers- almost everyone now realizes how focusing on women would produce some of the most widely read and watched characters than ever before. Here are a few that have been favorites for many.

Catwoman

In 1940, Catwoman first made her appearance in Batman #1, and the audience didn’t know whether he would be the great hero (ine) or villain! She posed as a great female supervillain for a long time, only to get replaced as a hero this time. But then again, most of her methods stay questionable. One of the greatest master thieves whose prowess is unmatched, the cunning female had taken center stage among Gotham’s complex characters.

On the one hand, she projected herself as the messiah who stood beside those in dire need of her. All this while also stealing from several people whose wealth would prove beneficial to her. She’s a complicated personality but a much loved one.

She-Hulk

She-Hulk is the perfect embodiment of feminine power, a super-strong lady, sans any intimidation or inhibition. The mind of a powerful attorney who stood wrapped in those green muscles is a woman who has redefined feminineness by accepting her alter ego and living her life to the maxim. You might think she’s a spin-off character (think of the famous cousin called Bruce Banner). However, that doesn’t matter. She-Hulk is one of the prime members of the present Avengers. The good news is this year-her very own MCU show will showcase her on Disney Plus!

Harley Quinn

Harley began her journey as a complete villain, just a ‘sidekick’ to the Joker who was into comical crimes like her clown prince boyfriend. But abuse characterized her life, especially what the Joker meted out. So she decided to emancipate herself and get her own calling- first as the villain or anti-hero, and then emerging as the hero, battling against all such issues in her own right.

In the initial years, she palled around the Suicide Squad (primarily anti-heroes) and maintains connections with them even now. However, things have been quite different for her. Many new demands have occurred in the ‘Joker War’ story, and Quinn is a superheroine series. Had she not displayed the strength and solidarity when she was subject to abuse, she wouldn’t have reached the apex of success. And we think that’s what makes her one of the ‘greatest female superheroes ever.

Captain Marvel

The publisher has made enough gains in this lifetime by creating one of the most robust women heroes in the Marvel Universe called Carol Danvers. With cosmic powers, the skills of a fighter pilot, a great movie, and an Avengers membership, she is one lady who boosts womanhood in a ‘sleek’ package. Carol dominates the front and center at the upcoming phase of Marvel Cinematic Universe. She is undoubtedly one of the most popular superheroine brands globally.

Wonder Woman

You would adore Diana from Themiscyra (if you haven’t seen her yet). Her real-world origins are complex, and we attribute that to her creators and collaborators. But there is no denying that she’s taken the top spot as a feminist icon. She represents perfection in womanhood and the best in humankind.

Undaunted, independent, strong, yet compassionate- she is Diana and the Wonder Woman. She has proven her might and worth as a warrior and heroine par excellence in the whole of DC Universe. Almost anybody would feel the compulsion to think of her first when talking about female superheroes.

The list is endless, and you would keep wondering who your favorite is. But before you conclude, watch them all first. And don’t forget to let us know, which of these superheroines are your favorite!
