Who is Marvel's leading lady?

Wonder Woman is the premiere leading lady for DC Comics.

No Caption Provided

Who is it for Marvel's and what constitutes a leading lady of a comic company?

Is it Carol Danvers who carry the Marvel name as formerly Ms. Marvel and now Captain Marvel? Marvel has really been using her alot more and showcasing the versatility and scope her powers int he past few years! (Carol Danvers is really a marvel powerhouse !!)

No Caption Provided

Is it Susan Richards, the first lady of the Fantastic Four family? Susan is the most powerful member of the Fantastic Four and during the time when Celestials were unstoppable, her force fields were able to break through their armor.

No Caption Provided

Or is it someone else?

Marvel doesn't have one. There is no quintessential leading lady from marvel. Also this has been done before.

This is a great artwork of Captain Marvel, and in my opinion, she is who Marvel has to focus on, and finally give us the big-budgeted solo heroine movie. The movie that Hollywood thinks we're to stupid as a society to appreciate.

Her comic is my favorite out right now. I also love the new Ms Marvel comic so far. Shame that Kamala and Carol won't meet for a while, as Carol went to space and all of that.

Doesn't feel like Marvel has one. But if I had to pick one, I would say Black Widow thanks to the movies and what not.

Ask a comic fan and they don't have one.

Ask someone who's a casual movie goer and its Black Widow.

Personally, for me, it's Sue Storm. But none really.

This, but if I had to pick one it would probably be She-Hulk, Black Widow, Carol Danvers, Storm or Jean Grey.

Agreed, although personally I'd say Captain Marvel. Marvel seems to be pushing Carol, likely due to the rumor being she is in line for a solo film in the coming years. So they might be trying to set her up as the "Wonder Woman" of Marvel.

Obviously Marvel doesn't really have a character that comes close to Wonder Woman iconic status (being part of the Trinity and all)

But if I had to pick one it would be Sue Storm, I have always that of her as Marvel's lead lady for some reason, she's powerful, apart of the Fantastic Four (the first family), and for at least comic book readers she is iconic

Non-Comic book readers will most likely pick Black Widow, she is a pretty good choice too

At this point, Black Widow. She's been a major point in 2 movies and played by a great actress. She's probably got the most recognition of any of Marvel's Female's simply because of the massive success of avengers, and now Cap 2.

Since the Iron Man and Avengers movies came out the Black Widow has had center stage. Before that Marvel wanted it to be Ms. Marvel/Carol Danvers and the X-fans have been divided between Jean, Emma and Storm for quite a while. An argument could be made for the Invisible Woman and the She-Hulk has had here chances but, despite their best efforts, Marvel doesn't have a iconic female character on par with DC's Wonder Woman.

Jean Grey, just the overall impact she has had on the Marvel Universe is what I think separates her from others.

Marvels leading lady is Black Widow due to her exposure in Iron Man and the Avengers she is basically the only one that non-comic book readers would be able to name. In the comics however there is no leading lady per se. Black Widow is currently Marvel's flagship lady though.

Honestly, I don't think Marvel really has a leading man or woman.
