Kickass Women In Superhero Comics

698 books — This list was created and voted on by Goodreads members.

Female superheroes, vigilantes, anti-heroes & villains

I have not read all of these- feel free to comment on the ones that are problematic in the comments. And yes, keep in mind: the Hawkeye Initiative :P Yes, there are some, probably many that are sexist, but I included for some reason or other.

I would love to see more superwomen of colour starring in their own series..sigh.

There are a few that are not "caped superheroes" but they deserve to be on the list, I think.
