10. Zatanna

9. Saturn Girl

8. Power Girl

7. Wonder Girl (Cassie)

6. Black Canary

5. Raven

4. SuperGirl

3. Vixen

2. Projectra

1. Troia

1. Mary Marvel

2. Supergirl (Kara Zor-El) , Batgirl (Cassandra Cain), Amethyst, Insect Queen , Troia, and Fever (from the current incarnation of the Doom Patrol).

Favorite DC villainess: Emerald Empress, hands down.

1. Donna Troy

2. Lilith

3. Projectra

4. Dreamer

5. Gypsy (don't laugh)

6. Terra

7. Huntress

8. Argent (don't laugh part 2)

9. Power Girl

10. Kinetix

This is going to be harder than the Marvel heroines -- DC just seems to have a a greater number of interesting heroines. Did anyone else feel this? I'll have to give it a bit of thought...

Hm... So this list is supposed to include the Legionnaires? Gosh, this is tough...

1) Kinetix (even though she's been terrorformed, this spot is still for her!)
2) Violet
3) Doctor Light
4) Triad
5) XS
6) Apparition
7) Kid Quantum
8) Ice (alas, poor Tora...)
9) Umbra
10) Saturn Girl, Shikari and Shvaughn Erin (couldn't decide...hm, it's almost alliterative!)
and a secondary list excluding the Legionnaires

1) Doctor Light
2) Ice
3) Wonder Woman
4) Oracle
5) Black Canary
6) Zatanna
7) Fire
8) Troia
9) Huntress
10) Supergirl
and way too many others are at number 11

And yeah, the reason I like DC more is because the male/female hero ratio just seems more equal to me.

DC *definitely* has more interesting heroines. But they've been around longer to accrue them. *And* DC has Wonder Woman as one of its central 'icons'... so there have to be a few heroines for her to interact with. Marvel doesn't have such a central heroine.

I'm doing a Legion list separate from a DC 20th/21st century list...

20th/21st Century Heroines...

10. Miss America (though this is more a vote of curiosity)

9. Duela Dent

8. Black Orchid (preVertigo, mainly)

7. Wonder Woman

6. Nightshade

5. Lilith

4. Oracle/Batgirl

3. GA Harlequin

2. Hawkwoman

1. Donna Troy

Hmmm-- lot of redheads on this list. It *is* harder than the Marvel list-- I left out Fury, Jade, Raven, Black Canary (I guess she really oughta take Miss America's spot...), Elastic Girl, Supergirl, Zatanna, Mary Marvel, Beautiful Dreamer... etc. etc.....

31st Century Heroines

10. Spider Girl

9. Triad

8. Ayla (can't pick an 'identity')

7. Insect Queen (the Amazer)

6. Gas Girl

5. Infectious Lass

4. Saturn Girl

3. Shrinking Violet

2. Dreamer

1. Umbra

And *that* still leaves out Tinya, Andromeda, KidQ, original Zoe, XS, etc. etc...

TN

Why Would I laugh Ilove Gypsy, Agent and Terra as well!!!!

Yes Drake I found this harder! I also love characters such as Barda, Fire, Ice, Huntress, Kinetix you know I think I'll do an all DC female Survivor!!!!!

In no particular order, my top10:
Apparition
Barbara Gordon (Oracle/ Batgirl)
Umbra
Black Canary
Wonder Woman
Huntress
Supergirl
Crazy Jane
Dawnstar
Green Lantern (Katma Tui)

in no particular order ....

4. Zatanna

5. Supergirl

6. Black Canary

7. Oracle

8. Raven

9. Jade

10. Lois Lane

Matthew.

Yep, this is definitely harder.

I too will leave off the LEGIONNAIRES and concentrate on the DC femmes that can make me buy an issue of whatever comic:


BLACK CANARY

POWER GIRL

FIRE

BIG BARDA

LILITH

DUELA DENT/HARLEQUIN

MARY MARVEL

SUPERGIRL

MONSTERGIRL

WONDER GIRL (Cassie)

Leaving off Legionaires, I came up with 6 that make me go ooh-baby-baby:

6. Huntress
5. Barbara Gordon, whether as Batgirl or Oracle
4. Donna Troy, whoever the hell she is at any given time
3. Raven
2. Zee
1. Black Canary

I'm going to try and keep in the Legionnaire females, so this is going to be very hard...

Apparition
Wonder Woman
Zatanna
Dr. Light
Black Canary
Raven
Donna Troy
Dawnstar
Lois Lane, who I think deserves to be counted as heroine (and gets a bad name sometimes!)

Others that I love: Starfire, Triad, Saturn Girl, Oracle, Jade, Jesse Quick, Spark, and a bunch more that I can't remember...

Black Orchid III
Duela Dent
Supergirl (Matrix/Linda Danvers)
Coagula
Monstress
Saturn Girl
Rocket
Batwoman I
Batwoman II
Dorothy Spinner

1. Shadow Lass
2. Huntress (Helena Wayne)
3. Power Girl
4. Ayla Ranzz
5. Cissie King-Jones
6. Cassie Sandsmark (pre-DCFU)
7. Fire
8. Jade
9. Donna Troy
10. Raven

I love the animated versions of Hawkgirl/woman and the Young Justice cartoon version of Miss Martian, Rocket and Zatanna, all more than their comic book iterations.

For just comic book heroines, in no particular order;

Phantom Girl
Shadow Lass
Lightning Lass
Kid Quantum 2

Terra
Kole
Duela Dent

Vixen
Black Canary
Oracle

Icemaiden and the Earth 2 Huntress (Helena Wayne) and Donna Troy probably should be on this list, too, but I ran out of room!

Contrary to earlier posts in this thread, I prefer a lot of the Marvel superheroines. Jan and Wanda and Jean and Susan are as classic as Wonder Woman in their own way, and few powerhouse characters can hold a candle to figures like Moondragon and Sersi.

and Lois Lane was awesome in the Flashpoint film!

Yeah, I'd have to rethink my list for Firehawk and Shayera when she's portrayed as the more competent of the pair. Dian Belmont as well.
