Argue with a wall if you disagree with No.

If you felt iffy about thatAvengers: Endgamegirl power scene,thats valid!

(One big exception?The Dora Milaje.)

Of course, that isnt to say theres a dearth of amazing Marvel women worth celebrating.

There are actually way more than could ever fit on one list.

In the Marvel Comics, Sharon (aka Agent 13) is one of Steve Rogers closest companions.

Like my dad, she tells Hope inAnt-Man and the Wasp.

In the comics, she joins the Young Avengers as Stature, a hero with shrinking and growing abilities.

But every once in a while, theres not even comic book source material to pull from.

Doreen Green (Squirrel Girl)

No, really!

Look out for rodent Easter eggs in the upcoming MCU series!

Doreens squirrel-like genetics give her superhuman speed and agility, which are just a couple of her powers.

Hey, if we can accept Ant-Man…

27.

But dont mistake Makkaris cool, laidback vibe for not being a team player.

Maria Hill

Where would the Avengers be withoutMaria Hill?Probably dead!

Well, theyd at least die much sooner.

forebears include founderPeggy Carter,who helped Steve fight Hydra all the way back in World War II.

Maya Lopez (Echo)

The MCU has no shortage of morally gray heroes(hi, Bucky!)

Yelena recently became one of the best female Marvel characters. Photo via Marvel Studios

Or at least, notthatbad.

The teen genius takes on her superhero mantle after her best friend and stepfather were killed in a shooting.

Shes not a normal girl-turned-superhero, but a superhero-turned-PItryingto live a low-key life while reckoning with a traumatic past.

All the while, her streetwear and sardonic vibes make her one of the MCUs coolest characters.

As she says in theMs.

Either way, her friendship with Kate Bishop is one of the most delightful MCU developments in recent memory.

Okoye

Youd be hard-pressed to find someone who loves Wakanda more thanOkoyeloves Wakanda (and thats saying something).

Just like in the Marvel Comics, Okoye is a skilled fighter for the Dora Milaje.

Gwen Stacy

Only twoSpider-Manfilms center Gwen Stacy as Peter Parkers true love.

(Like, for example, whats her real name?)

Creepy… but very useful.

Karens reporting (official and otherwise) gets her into some pretty dangerous situations.

But did you know that in the Marvel Comics, Storm is also tied to a major Avenger?

Yeah, MCU time travel is hard.

But the Wasp was breaking ground for Marvel way earlier than that.

The best female Marvel characters include, naturally, Black Widow — aka Natasha Romanoff. Photo via …

In fact, she was part of the inaugural Avengers team back in 1963.

A truly unsung hero!

Is there a better time to introduce that kind of power to the MCU?

Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow)

Yes, Natasha had killer stealth skills and countless memorable hair moments.

(And Marisa Tomei happened to make her extremely cool, too.)

It was May who reminded him even on her deathbed!

that its worth helping people.

TBH, whats more heroic?

Wanda Maximoff (Scarlet Witch)

Sheisthe moment!
