    Squirrel Girl

    Character » Squirrel Girl appears in 489 issues.

    A hero with squirrel-like abilities and features, Squirrel Girl is not always taken seriously, but she has nonetheless defeated many of the Marvel universe's greatest villains. She is a longtime member of the Great Lakes Avengers, and briefly served as a nanny for Luke Cage and Jessica Jones.

    Is Squirrel Girl really all that powerful?

    I mean she beat Thanos, Deadpool, and Doctor Doom.

    Is this just a case of where the underdog beats all powerful beings?

    It amuses me! She seems pretty cool but... is it just for jokes? I have no hate at all, Im just curious.

    Would you like to see more of her?

    Also, if you believe she isn't all that powerful, who do you think is the strongest person she could really take out?

    It's just a joke. The writers figured it would be funny if she beat some of the most formidable enemies.

    Her true power is subconscious wishful reality manipulation

    She thinks in a positive manner of taking out her opponent, subconsciously altering the fabric of reality and the probability fields making her opponents lose against her, which is her wish

    basically she is so sure that she can and will defeat her enemies that her subconscious takes it as an order to manipulate reality and makes it happen to fulfill her desires. She cant use it at will because she doesnt have knowledge on it, it happens subconsciously

    You just said what I believe is possibly one of the best demands I have ever heard coming out of anyone's mouth.

    It could happen since Joss Whedon loves recycling actors, and has used her in many of his works.

    Her bad past was in another city that she will not likely return to. She has history with Wolverine knowing his real name. We know that she is a mutant but perhaps she something that is left hidden. We know that Marvel squirrels can break the fourth wall which provides her crucial information. She has cards on every character in Marvel. One of her weaknesses is her concern of the endangerment of others. she leaves herself vulnerable when she fears for others safety.

    @Jorgevy: actually she has good help with her squirrels not reality manipulation. it is more of fourth wall breaching.

    She is a joke character.

    Nothing she has ever done can be taken seriously.

    That's why I really prefer DC to Marvel comics.

    She's a throwback to the good ole silver age where everything is happy and whimsical, where not everything has to be coated with angst and grimdark.

    She's written by Ditko

    She is awesome

    Off panel she is unbeatable

    I agree that time to time characters need changes, all I meant was that it's not necessary to make them like this. However, I understand what you mean.

    I have said what her power is and some of you still ignore the dang obvious. Oh she does not look what expectations are. She dresses with the power she has. Think about it she is always Squirrel Girl never Doreen Green.

    She tried being a sidekick but it didn't work, so she helps the police in the park. She was being a good citizen. She does not live in seclusion. She would have been a young avenger but decided to be a babysitter because that is a job more needed especially towards superheroes. She is willing to be a side character because she never wanted the glory she just wanted to help. She is over her problems which is rare in Marvel.

    Let me summarize again. If a villain ever decides to be a threat to her the squirrels will know and later on she will know. She also has good publicity being best describe a saint so it hard not to look like a cruel person for doing that. She patrols the park so there is no reason to do crime there other steal from a citizens which would just be petty theft and that is home field advantage because squirrels live there.

    Squirrel Girl basically = One Punch Man. Both are so ridiculously overpowered the writers spend more time building up the villain than the actual fight. With Squirrel Girl you build up an insane opponent only to have him/her defeated off-panel, and with one-punch man you build up the opponent only to have our titular character throw his One Punch, unless he's feeling nice in which case he will hold back and let the fight last long although he will be bored.

    I know she's an interesting character and I also know she's a "joke" character. I want to like her, I really do, but I can't. She just irritates me. She's basically a Mary Sue character. So much that she made Saitama look like the underdog compared to her.

    It only works if she thinks she can beat the opponent and it's of panel. It was meant to be a joke. She's basically the Aquaman of marvel!
