Eggghh. This list is important, because it's important to shine light on how many characters it affects, but it still makes me feel so skeevy. This shouldn't happen to anybody, real or fictional, and it sucks when it does.

Other people that belong on this list are Stephanie Brown (attempted rape), Miss Martian (attempted rape/sexual assault), basically all the Amazons (raped by Hercules' soldiers), Ms. Marvel (raped), Mockingbird (raped/sexually assaulted), Kate Bishop (raped/assaulted), Karma (raped), Quinn Fabray (raped) and the second Wasp in the Ultimate universe, who was gang raped.
