Favorite Female Heroes/Anti-Heroes of All Time
I am a DC reader, and most of my favorite female characters are from DC
List items
-
The only female Robin, love of Tim Drake, and one hell of a Batgirl. Her positive energy and attitude is very welcome in the dark alleys of Gotham, and I hope DC does the right thing and bring this amazing character back to life.
-
Kate Kane really made her mark on me in the New 52. Her past is also filled with triumph as she earns the cape and cowl she dons, with her strength and fortitude.
-
Another character I was introduced to due to Teen Titans. Funny thing is, I thought she was created just for the show. When I discovered she had a huge history in DC, I read as much as I could about her. Koriand'r has become one of my favorites, due to her charming nature and powerful abilities. Ex-fiance to the one and only Dick Grayson, and potential mother of his child. Kori continues to impress me with her appearance in Red Hood and the Outlaws.

The very first Marvel character that I was so intrigued by, and once I discovered her history, I fell in love with everything about her.
-
I knew her from Batman Animated Series, and saw her as the only Batgirl for a long time. When I started reading the comics, and her persona as Oracle, I grew a huge amount of respect for her character. Now she is back as Batgirl, and I am happy to see her back in the cape and cowl.

A personal favorite due to the bow and arrow, but Mia has had to prove herself to not only GA but the rest of the DCU. As Speedy, Mia had a more personal touch to the job, as she grew up dirty in the streets of Star City. Diagnosed with HIV, she still went out of her way to fight for justice. Roy Harper initially blamed Mia for the death of Lian Harper, though she wasn't necessarily responsible. She took it upon herself to avenge Lian, as she was the one baby sitting her when the city was destroyed. She hasn't returned since the New 52 started, but I am keeping a special eye out for her.
-
Zanna is just a fun, mystical, and really cool character. I have never read much of her, but whenever she appeared I am glad that she does. A member of Justice League Dark, she continues a life of the mystical and enthralling readers with her spells and charms ;)
-
Lets face it, Dinah is a badass. Her strength and leadership hold on for their own, but her Canary Cry is also an awesome feature to her list. Not only did she steal the heart of the Emerald Archer, but she even married to goof. Their relationship was iconic in the DC Universe, and though I am sad to see it go, I am glad that she is still out there kicking ass.
-
Another strong Batgirl, but her past with the League of Assassins and her troubled past set her aside as a memorable addition to the Bat-Clan. She was a huge part of the Bat-family, and was even adopted by Bruce. Absent in the New 52, fans are eager for her return.
-
The sister of Wonder Woman, Donna Troy needs no introduction more than she was an original member of the Teen Titans and valued member to the DCU. She is also absent in the New 52, and fans are especially outraged due to her being such an influential character.

It is hard not to love Selina Kyle. Initially a villain, she is a constant love interest to the Dark Knight, and can prove to be his opposite as well as his match. In recent years, she has taken a more heroic road, though she still likes to live a life of high stakes and winner take all. She is a new member to the Justice League of America, as to why, we have yet to find out.

Another personal favorite. Raven had to deal with a very unique and dark past. Daughter of Trigon, she was born to bring the end on the Earth, but chose to defend it instead. A valued member of the Teen Titans, she still tries to find her place in the normal world. Recently, Raven debuted in Phantom Stranger, and was given a proper introduction in the pages of Teen Titans. Raven has returned!

Kara Zor-El. I don't know why, but she has always interested me. Though she may be considered in the shadow of her cousin in the similar blue spandex, I see her as a strong character bound to make a name for herself.
