Ask someone to name their favourite comic book character and there’s a great chance the answer will be a man, but there are entire universes of femme fatales out there who don’t get the credit they deserve.

Down the decades, we’ve seen women of every race, species, alien species and colour grace the pages of various comic publications, some of whom match and even trump their male counterparts in the badass department.

“Badass” is defined as a person possessing “tough, uncompromising or intimidating” qualities. With that in mind, it’s important to note that being powerful doesn’t automatically make one a badass, and there are certain actions that may earn one badass status even if they are just an Average Jane.
