We need more reputable female superheros!

Okay, why is the super hero world so biased!!!ALL THE MOST NOTABLE SUPERHEROS ARE MALES!!!!The only female one I know is Wonderwoman, who is good, but really not great!Plus, what embaresses me is that outfit of hers!geez put some clothes on!!!!!it isn't vulgar or anything but it wouldn't kill to have her wear some sort of tight leather suit or something.add the ridiculously bright colors and she might as well end up in a clown costum,e contest.One thing I do like of hers is that personality.

What we got loads of em 😱
Off the top of my head -
Jean Grey
Storm
Rouge
Scarlet witch
Hawkgirl
Batwoman
Catwoman
Supergirl
Mystique

DC:
Wonder Woman,

Batwoman

DC obviously has its share of female heroes; the point I think punkyhermy was making was that they're not major superheroes in their own rights. Batgirl is one of Batman's soldiers ... Supergirl plays second fiddle to Superman ... and so forth. On the other hand, even if there aren't many individually important female superheroes, many of the teams are fairly integrated.

well maybe this happens because the people that buy comics, most of them are male, so the male characters are usually the main characters.

And look at the female characters like rogue, jean grey and storm, psylock, etc etc, they are all beautifull women, with great breasts, why do you think they are like that?

Ones with their own comics that I can think of:
Mystique,
Emma Frost,
Wonder Woman,
Jean Grey/Madelyne Pryor (used to have their own 'pheonix' anime comic book series),
Rogue,

I think it's probably because most of DC's major characters (and Marvel's, I assume) were created in less progressive times.

And there aren't many ugly male superheroes, either. But I take your point.

WellI think you just answered your own question there. Most people who buy comic books are male, so the woman in comic books have to look sexy to appeal to the male demographic. 😎

well we have wolverine, beast nightcrawler but you are correct.

thats also because many people that read the comics want to be those superheros and no one want to be a fat, skinny, or ugly superhero.
but these arguments can also be used about the female readers and characters, but you understand what i meant.

yes i already knew that i just put the ? to make the sentence in a question, you know a little bit of irony.

so Punky. got any ideas for a new heroine?

well the readers are all males coz the protagonists are ALWAYS male!!!!!!!I personally growing didn't have a single female superhero to look up to, so my freinds and i had no choice but to stick with batman.No wonder there are no female comicbook fans out there!
and why does every known woman in the comic world have to gorgeous!!!!!!it's as is, to be appreciated, they GOT to be gorgeous and appeling physically, as mentally they aren't nearly as developed as their male counterparts are!!!!!and then people go about the whole women righst thing without doing anything really!if they can't solve the problem in comic books, how can they solve the injustice in the real world?!

Black Cat can hold her own

the wierdest twist I have ever seen with a girl super hero is with captain britains sister. do any of u know who body she has now and what name she uses I want tos ee if any oen can quess right.

Psylocke. There are threads in this forum with information about her.

some corrections, Mystique is a terrorist and Madelyn Prior is a psychopath.
no one here has mentioned Black Widow, Jessica Jones, Elektra (after being resurrected), etc.

There is also some equality when it comes to villians. The only person more insane then Typhoid Mary is the Joker, and when she does have some control over her mental faculties she can be dangerous on nearly the same level as Magneto, with hand to hand combat skills equivelant to that of wolverine at least (not in elektra and daredevil's league of course). If i'm not mstaken, she neary became the second goblin queen during inferno too (if you read the DD comics, inferno was almost as big for him as it was for the x-men)

Welp there was a jump in the number of female heroes during the 80's for DC when the Titans were introduced... not to sound obvious but Raven did almost conquer the universe with daddy... wiped out the justice league and everyone else almost...

There are plenty of Marvel females..... Just not many ORIGINAL dc ones... Most of E'm on the Dc fence are cash in's on their male counter parts.. Even Wonder Women is a cash in on Superman to a certain degree.

I can't resit it. We don't have any good female Super heros? What are you talkin about. We've got Stripperella. Isn't she a good super hero? LMFAO

Mystique did work for xavier for a time.
I do believe that I metioned Black Widow and Elektra earlier
