50 Most Badass Women In Comics

Continuing the thread of super dames with no powers to speak of, another redhead of the Marvel universe who needs no introduction—but here’s one anyway..—Mary Jane Watson.

Aside from the feels MJ has imparted upon us with her on-again-off-again relationship with Peter Parker down the years, she has always been that badass in her own right. Girlfriend of the jock in high school who graduates to full model-dom in her adult life, Watson was the girl next door many of us wished would see the inner nerd in US and love it all the same.

Much of Spider-Man’s focus for never revealing his Parker identity has been to protect MJ, and yet she’s still found herself in her fair share of capers, standing up to crooks, attempted hitmen and the like.

And like many other of those on out list without any powers or fighting credentials, she routinely shows the character the likes of which would be welcome in the Avengers. Go get ‘em, Tiger.
