Woman) is a fictional character, a Marvel Comics superheroine created

with light waves, allowing her to render herself and others invisible.
However, she can also project powerful fields of invisible psionic
energy which she uses for a variety of offensive and defensive effects.
Sue plays a central role in the lives of her brother, her husband, her
children (Franklin Richards and Val Richards), and her friend, Ben
Grimm.
5.Catwoman
Catwoman
is a fictional character associated with DC Comics’ Batman franchise.
The supervillain was created by Bill Finger and Bob Kane, partially
inspired by Kane’s second cousin by marriage, Ruth Steel. The original
and most widely known Catwoman, Selina Kyle, first appears in Batman #1
(Spring 1940) in which she is known as The Cat. She is not an adversary
of Batman, as such, but is known for having a love-hate relationship
with him. In her first appearance, she was a whip-carrying burglar with
a taste for high-stake thefts. For many years Catwoman thrived but from
September 1954 to November 1966 she took an extended hiatus due to the
newly developing Comics Code Authority in 1954. These issues involved
the rules regarding the development and portrayal of female characters
that were in violation with the Comic Code.
6.Wonder Woman
Wonder
Woman is a DC Comics superheroine created by William Moulton Marston.
She first appeared in All Star Comics #8 (December 1941). The Wonder
Woman title has been published by DC Comics almost continuously since
the company’s 1944 inception, except for a brief hiatus in 1986. Wonder
Woman is an Amazon (based on the Amazons of Greek mythology) and was
created by Marston, an American, as a “distinctly feminist role model
whose mission was to bring the Amazon ideals of love, peace, and sexual
equality to a world torn by the hatred of men.” Her powers include
superhuman strength, flight, super-speed, super-stamina, and
super-agility. She is highly proficient in hand-to-hand combat and in
the art of tactical warfare. She also possesses an animal-like cunning
and a natural rapport with animals, which has in the past been
presented as an actual ability to communicate with the animal kingdom.
She uses her Lasso of Truth, which forces those bound by it to tell the
truth, a pair of indestructible bracelets, and an invisible airplane.
7.Elektra
Elektra
Natchios, usually referred to only by her first name Elektra, is a
fictional character in publications from Marvel Comics. Elektra is a
kunoichi – female ninja assassin – of Greek descent. She wields two
bladed sai as her trademark weapon. She is a love interest of the
superhero Daredevil, but her violent nature and mercenary lifestyle
divide the two. She is one of Frank Miller’s best-loved creations, and
subsequent writers’ use of her is controversial as Marvel had
originally promised to not resurrect the character without Miller’s
permission. She has also appeared as a supporting character of the
X-Men’s Wolverine. In the 2003 film Daredevil and its 2005 spinoff,
Elektra, the character is portrayed by Jennifer Garner.
8.Mystique
Mystique
(Raven Darkhölme) is a fictional character associated with the Marvel
Comics’ franchise, X-Men. Originally created by artist David Cockrum
and writer Chris Claremont, she first appeared in Ms. Marvel #16.
Throughout most of her history, Mystique has been a supervillain,
founding her own Brotherhood of Mutants and assassinating several
important people involved in mutant affairs. Mystique herself is a
mutant, a shapeshifter whose natural appearance includes her blue skin
and yellow eyes. At one point, she mentioned she is over 100 years old.
Mystique is the mother of the villain Graydon Creed, the X-Men hero
Nightcrawler, and adoptive mother of the hero Rogue. She was forced to
abandon Nightcrawler, but raised Rogue for a number of years and the
two women have mixed feelings towards one another.
9.Rogue
Rogue
is a fictional character in most of the Marvel Comics award-winning
X-Men related titles. She was created by author Chris Claremont and
artist Michael Golden, and debuted in Avengers Annual #10 (August 1981)
as a villain. Rogue was born as a mutant. More so than most, Rogue
considers her powers a curse: she involuntarily absorbs the memories,
physical strength, and (in the case of superpowered persons) the
abilities of anyone she touches. For most of her life, this potentially
fatal power prevented her from making any physical contact with others,
including her longtime on-off love interest, Gambit, but after many
years Rogue gained full control over her power for the first time in
years.
10.Silk Spectre
Character
of Watchmen. Laurie Juspeczyk, the second Silk Spectre, is the daughter
of Sally Jupiter, the first Silk Spectre. Laurie’s mother apparently
wanted her to follow in her footsteps and so she fought crime for ten
years before the Keene Act banned vigilantes. Unlike the other
protagonists, Silk Spectre was not based on a particular Charlton
character, although her relationship with Dr. Manhattan is similar to
that between Captain Atom and the heroine Nightshade. Moore felt he
needed a female hero in the cast and drew inspiration from comic book
heroines such as Black Canary and Phantom Lady.
