Top 10 DC Superheroines


suit me up uncle Alfred men may
outnumber women in the DC Universe but
what the women lack in quantity they
make up for in quality when are we going
out on a real date
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
DC female superheroes let me give it a
shot for this list we’re excluding those
characters who fascinating as they maybe
fall into a gray area between hero and
villain sorry Catwoman we’re looking at
you that’s not my style no finesse
number 10 Huntress please don’t hurt me
no how about just a little there have
been three separate DC characters named
Huntress but Helena Bertinelli is the
most intriguing of the three maybe
you’re not looking in the right
direction as a child she witnessed her
family die in a mob hit unaware that her
father was himself a mafia boss
as an adult Helena swore to eradicate
the Gotham mobs you have failed this
city and armed with her crossbow and
deep-rooted thirst for vengeance she
took on the guise of the Huntress which
leaves the rest of our evening
tantalizingly free her ruthless methods
sometimes put her at odds with Batman
and other crime fighters
but they do get results number 9
Hawkgirl you ever get chafed straddling
the fence all the time several
characters have also born the name
Hawkgirl or Hawk woman these include
shayera hall a police officer from the
planet Fenig our modern thanagarians bow
down to no higher power
Hawkgirl possesses a belt made of the
mysterious nth metal which gave her the
ability to fly it was thousands of years
ago we were still a primitive culture
the wings that are an impressive part of
her costume provide propulsion and power
Hawkgirl and her partner Hawkman have
made frequent uses of the many weapons
from Earth’s past and can lay as your
parole officer but with a mace with a
marked preference for the mace a fierce
warrior when trialed Hawkgirl can be a
ferocious bird of prey
number eight is a Tana oops
daughter of John Zatara a legendary
magician Satana is herself one of the
most powerful wielders of magic in the
entire DC Universe usually I play it
straight but for the big closer I throw
in a little data like her father
Zatanna summons forth her magical
abilities by speaking her spells
backwards snagged him on up while this
seems like an easy trick it requires
intense concentration and control in
order to work the magic sometimes the
effort can be very draining trust me it
isn’t as easy as everybody thinks
nonetheless when she is in peak form
satanís powers are almost limitless
making her practically unbeatable Arba
ibadis ab new job
number seven Raven what’s up parents can
be a real pain sometimes especially when
your father is a power-mad demon from
another dimension who wants to conquer
the universe let’s just say I have
issues with my father that’s the
situation with Raven who inherited
tremendous powers from her demonic
father Trigon
fortunately she didn’t inherit his evil
intent and she joins with the Teen
Titans to defeat her father and many
other villains
Ravin has a range of powers including an
empathetic ability to take on the
emotions of others which she sometimes
has problems controlling it’s a portal
into my mind not a toy I know what
you’re thinking daddy issues right
don’t push it number six Power Girl
Power Girl
technically super girl from another
dimension it just sort of came out power
girls real name is Kara zor-el just like
Supergirl except she’s from an alternate
reality and is actually from Krypton too
if you want to get specific it’s
complicated
possessing all the powers of her Krypton
one counterpart and her super-powered
cousin Power Girl is easily identifiable
by her white costume red cape blond Bob
cup and ample proportions even amongst
other comical characters
forget about that I got a message from
Toyman though she is often more brash
and aggressive than her fellow Justice
Society of America members she was the
first acting chairwoman to hell with the
group number five Black Canary
well Kat its Black Canary a martial
artist with fighting skills that rival
those of Batman himself
Black Canary is one of the most
resilient heroes in comics my heart
bleeds if a villain does somehow get the
drop on her she also has her amazing
canary cry to fall back on this piercing
sonic screech can even rip through metal
when pitched properly
often linked with green arrow Black
Canary green arrow the canary is also an
excellent strategist and excels at
training other heroes helping them reach
their full potential
I’ll Drive number four Starfire I am
sorry too but I’m stronger than I look
the planet tamarin is the birthplace of
the strikingly beautiful coriander
better known as Starfire welcome to
earth
Starfire I thank you all for your
bravery and help and I wish to ask
permission to remain here although a
member of the temerian royal family and
an heir to the throne
Starfire was enslaved to her enemies as
a peace offering breaking free she
traveled to earth becoming a member of
the Teen Titans and eventually joining
up with the Red Hood and his team
glorious I wish to initiate a group hug
although peaceful by Nature she is
highly trained in all aspects of war and
battle and has the superpowers to back
up that training number three Batgirl
and you are Batgirl
batgirls cape and cowl have been donned
by several people but barbara gordon
remains the person most identified with
the character if I don’t ace these
midterms dad says he’ll throw me in jail
and with my dad that’s no idle threat
daughter of Gotham City Police
Commissioner James Gordon Barbara
started her Batgirl career by accident
she was dressed up for a costume party
when she encountered a criminal
situation you do know my secret my dual
identity and you must swear never to
reveal it to anyone
Barbara’s Batgirl career was interrupted
for several years after she was
paralyzed by the Joker
but even then she continued fighting
crime behind the seats as Batman’s
technical adviser Oracle that for a very
long
her subsequent return to the Batgirl
mantle promises new heights of glory for
the unsinkable heroine one way or
another you’re coming with me
number two Supergirl what’s with the
running doc we both know how this is
gonna turn out Kara zor-el from Earth
one better known as Supergirl it’s been
a long time kal-el I miss Tim he’s the
cousin to the Man of Steel you’re uh
Superman’s best friend huh no his cousin
likes Superman
she is the survivor of the planet
Krypton and so the lesser gravity of
Earth earth you mean where my cousin
would combined with the solar energy
from Earth’s Yellow Sun give her a range
of mighty super powers
the original Supergirl gave her life in
the crisis on Infinite Earths series
after everything we’ve been through
together
I had to come back to the one place in
the universe I have family subsequent
versions of the character altered her
origins so she was actually no longer
from Krypton
what do you go through my trash however
the most recent reboot has returned
Supergirl to her rightful Kryptonian
heritage
before we reveal our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions such dishonesty
is not befitting an amazon princess I
promised my mother that I would serve as
a symbol of integrity and strength so
that the world of man would know what it
needs to be an Amazon it took the entire
Legion to put them in jail they’ve
escaped and now they’re coming back for
us
number one Wonder Woman along with
Batman and Superman Wonder Woman
completes the big three of DC Comics
most iconic characters you must now
count the truth you are working with the
Falcon raised on an isolated island by a
race of Amazon’s Princess Diana assumed
the mantle of Wonder Woman when she came
to the world of men we are the Amazons
we live simple lives and we wish to keep
it that way
here she fights for justice and liberty
for all people
her super strength and magic lasso but
rest’ by her warrior training make her a
formidable opponent but her greatest
asset may be as a cultural symbol who
has inspired and empowered countless
girls and women to follow it is time
again to open the lines of communication
between man and woman something I should
have done a long time ago and you my
daughter will serve as our ambassador do

incredible DC women deserve to be on
