Taking this off AvX #2 where it lists the Avengers roster...
Avengers currently have:
- Ms Marvel
- Mockingbird
- Spider-Woman
- Black Widow
- Storm
- Valkeryie
So 6 out of 26 members are female. 3:13 is the simplified ratio.
Taking this off Uncanny Avengers #1
Uncanny Avengers currently have:
- Rogue
- Scarlet Witch
So 2 out of 6 members are female. 1:3 is the simplified ratio. Times this by three to get it to be = to Avengers and you have 3:9 ratio.
And then we have DC.
Justice League currently have:
- Wonder Woman
So 1 out of 6 members are female. 1:6 is the simplified ratio. Times this by three to get it to be = to Avengers and you have 3:18 ratio.
Justice League of America currently have:
- Stargirl
- Catwoman
- Katana
So 3 out of 9 members are female. This is already a 3:9 ratio so there is no need to times it by three.
(I didn't include Justice League Dark teams because I picked the teams that are often plotted against each other. I wasn't sure of JLA and UA were replacing JL or A, so I put them in to just support my argument).
As you can see, the odd one out is Justice League. To put it in perspective: You have to wait for 13 male members to join Avengers before getting 3 female avengers. You have to wait for 9 male members to join Uncanny Avengers before getting 3 female uncanny avengers. You have to wait for 18 male members to join JL before getting 3 female justice league members.
These are facts.
This is an opinion:
WONDER WOMAN BEING ON JL IS NOT ENOUGH. Yes I know there are 'Birds of Prey', and you may argue 'but females get a whole book to themselves!'. Yeh, that's because ALL other teams in DC are majority male. And not by a small majority, a BIG majority.
And this is why Justice League should add at least 1 more female.
