2. Wonder Woman
In her satin tights, fighting for our rights.
First introduced in 1941, Princess Diana of Themyscira set off to live in the real world where she encountered elements she had not been privy to before - most notably mortals, evil and men. There, she set out to purify the world, inspiring hope all around her as Wonder Woman.
With her incredible strength, bulletproof bracelets and lasso of truth, Wonder Woman was so much more than just a pretty face, and this made her appeal to a wide variety of fans. Her popularity led to the character headlining her own TV series and finally, her own film.
Whether you grew up with Lynda Carter's iconic portrayal of the character in the seventies, or Gal Gadot's critically-acclaimed turn of today, both live-action interpretations have had a huge impact on Diana's success - introducing her to a whole new audience each time while reminding her fans why she is such a force of nature.
Wonder Woman is quite possibly the most recognisable female superhero to ever grace the pages of a comic book, and with good reason. She isn't just an invincible Amazon or a beautiful god - she is a voice for the voiceless, a force for change and the personification of female empowerment. It really doesn't get any more inspiring than that.
