Well, well, well.
Looks like we’re back with another list that gushes over the attractiveness of female
superheroes.
But hey, we’re not objectifying anyone here – this list, as per all of our hottest heroes
lists, dives into why these superheroes are attractive, from the inside and out, and why
they are so compelling to us!
And with this group, there’s a whole lot of reasons.
So with that being said, let’s jump into part four of our list of the top 10 hottest
female superheroes!
10 Gwenpool First appearing in Howard the Duck issue #1
from volume 6, where, after a series of events she almost assassinates Howard, with the reasoning
that he is a fictional character who would likely come back from death anyway.
Hello meta!
Despite having no relation to Deadpool minus a costume mix up and the whole meta-awareness
thing, Gwenpool manages live up to her unintentional namesake to capture the spirit and humour
of Deadpool that fans adored, but adds a more sentimental touch to the character – a sensitivity
that has us hungry to learn more about her backstory, and how she ended up in the comic
universe to begin with.
Plus she’s super cute.
9 Donna Troy One of the original members of the Teen Titans,
Donna Troy first came to be known as Wonder Girl – the teenaged version of Wonder Woman,
although eventually became her own entity than Diana.
In the early days of that transition, she was Wonder Girl, Wonder Woman’s younger
sister, who would join forces with Robin, Kid Flash and Aqualad to form the junior justice
league – the Teen Titans.
Eventually her backstory was retconned, and she was no longer an Amazon, but rather, an
orphan who had been saved by Wonder Woman and brought to Paradise Island to be raised.
There, she was given her powers by Wonder Woman villain Baroness Paula Von Gunther’s
purple ray.
She’s grown up a lot since then, and retconned a whole lot, now with her current DC Rebirth
origins being that she was, in fact, made out of clay to destroy Wonder Woman, but the
Amazons gave her false memories of that initial origin story back from the 60s where she was
an orphan raised on Paradise Island.
8 Miss Martian Miss Martian aka M’gann M’orzz first appeared
in the pages of DC Comics in 2006 in Teen Titans #37.
In the comics, she’s a white martian who pretended to be a green martian.
In the animated show Young Justice, she’s the niece of Martian Manhunter.
Regardless of which origin story you prefer, Miss Martian is an incredibly powerful superhero,
and has quite the heart.
Her story in the comics is full of turmoil – her heritage is something that constantly
plagues her, and all she really wants is to belong.
Her Young Justice self is way more of an appreciated character though, as the younger version of
the character not only struggles with her heritage but also with controlling her powers,
and briefly gives up using telepathy all together.
Despite her ups and downs, M’gann has always been known for her kindness and her passion.
7 Liberty Belle Jumping back to the golden age for this one,
let’s take a look at Libby Lawrence, aka Liberty Belle.
She’s a hero that operated during WW2, but not initially with super powers – that would
come later after she fled Poland from the nazi threat, was smuggled into France, escaped
the battle of Dunkirk, and swam the English Channel after the Germans shot her boat out
of the water.
Yeah, Lawrence is pretty spectacular.
In 1941 she returned to her home of Philadelphia where she gained her powers – enhanced speed,
strength, stamina and sonic vibrational pulses.
She would use those powers to help put an end to the Nazi threat, and those of Axis
forces who tried to infiltrate the US at that time.
Eventually, she would join the All-Star Squadron, and marry speedster Johnny Quick, having a
daughter together who would inherit both of their powers – or rather, inherit her mother’s
and learn her father’s – Jesse Quick.
6 Cybersix Blast from the past for you 90s kids here.
Cybersix first debuted in her self-titled 1992 Argentine comic in an Italian comics
magazine called Skorpio.
Dressed in leather, she was a genetically-engineered superhero who disguised herself as a male
high school teacher during the day time.
At night, she fought off forces of monstrous biological weapons who were created by her
maker, a Nazi genetic engineer name Dr Von Reichter, who would implant cybernetic organs
into the bodies of dead prisoners.
One of his projects after the war was the Cyber series – artificial humanoids possessing
superhuman strength and agility.
But the cybers revolted, and only Cyber Six got away, with Reichter surviving by putting
his brain into the body of a panther.
Needless to say, she’s been through some intense sh*t.
In 1999 her comic was adapted into a thirteen episode animated show.
5 Hawkgirl Hawkgirl has gone through many a retcon over
the years.
Always paired with Hawkman Katar Hol – or Carter Hal, depending on which origin you’re
considering – Hawkgirl has an intense connection to nth metal – a mysterious and powerful
property in the DC universe that negates gravity.
Her wings are made of nth metal, her weapons and gravity-defy belt are made of nth metal,
and her senses have been enhanced because of her constant proximity to nth metal.
Her and Hawkman are cursed to always find one another and always die, then reincarnate
and begin the process again, the first version of her being the Egyptian princess Chay-Ara.
These days, the character made her DC Rebirth debut as Kendra Saunders, and briefly went
by the name Lady Blackhawk in the recent Dark Nights: Metal story arc.
She was transformed by Barbatos into an evil version of herself, but luckily Wonder Woman’s
lasso of truth restored her memories.
4 Kitty Pryde When Kitty Pryde, the phasing mutant, was
first introduced in the Uncanny X-Men back in 1980, she was seen as the kid sister to
many of the group.
During the Kitty Pryde and Wolverine miniseries, the character grows up quite a bit, and takes
on the alias of Shadowcat.
During the All-New X-Men, she gets her flirt on with Peter Quill aka Starlord after the
X-Men team up with the Guardians of the Galaxy to rescue Jean Grey from the Shiar Empire.
They got engaged but eventually she broke it off and returned to Earth, where she took
over leading the X-Men once Storm stepped down after the 2016 Inhumans vs X-Men story
arc.
3 X-23 X-23, also known as Laura Kinney, is sometimes
referred to as Wolverine’s daughter.
This is because she’s his cloned daughter.
In the Innocent Lost story arc, a top secret program attempts to recreate the Weapon X
experiment – except there’s a problem.
The only genetic sample of Weapon X has a damaged Y chromosome, so instead, one of the
geneticists suggests creating a female genetic twin.
Which also doesn’t work until try 23 which was combined with an embryo.
Laura is then born, with the same kinds of abilities as Logan’s, and goes through one
hell of a rollercoaster of tragedies that eventually leads her to him and the X-Men.
While the character was first depicted as a kid in her debut in the animated series
X-Men Evolution, the character has been given a more mature persona in various comics.
So yeah, female Wolverine whose got a couple of murders under her belt and has that broodiness
down pact.
What’s not to love?
2 Silk Spectre I We talked about Silk Spectre II on one of
our previous hottest lists, so it’s only right if we talk about the woman she inherited
her looks – and abilities – from, Silk Spectre I, Sally Jupiter.
One of the founding members of the Minute Men, she received quite the attention from
the male population at the time, seen as a sex symbol whom criminals and villains didn’t
mind getting caught by.
While she was more of a celebrity than vigilante, Sally was still a force to be reckoned with.
After ex-teammate The Silhouette was murdered by the Liquidator, Sally hunted the Liquidator
down and murdered him at his hideout.
She felt she owed Silhouette after unfairly voting her out of the Minute Men group when
news of her sexuality came out in the press.
1 Starfire Starfire is notoriously one of the sexist
superheroes out there.
To the point where the character has been criticized for how excessively sexual her
depictions have been.
Regardless of what opinion you hold on that front, it’s undeniable that the alien from
Tamaran has some major sex appeal.
Which only makes her more awesome, considering the feats she’s capable of, and her background
story.
Girl had gone through hell and back before coming to Earth – her sister had imprisoned
her and made her a slave, who was tortured and abused big time.
Her planet was then invaded, and she was abducted and experimented on.
After she escaped to Earth and became part of the Teen Titans, she couldn’t shake that
past – or her sister’s nefarious intentions – and the Marv Wolfman George Perez run
of the Teen Titans dived into those stories, which showed off how much butt she was capable
of kicking.
All in all, Starfire deserves a whole hell of a lot of respect, and she’s definitely
a hero, despite her ups and downs at the hands of DC editors, is worthy of being a fan favourite.
