10 Best Female Characters In The Marvel Cinematic Universe
3. Melinda May
Before Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D had Mockingbird, they had Agent Melinda May, arguably the most dangerous S.H.I.E.L.D operative around. She's director Coulson's right hand woman, a skilled (entirely human) fighter and a mistress of disguise. She (and the actress who plays her, Ming-Na Wen) alternates between frightening intensity and heartbreaking vulnerability and can play both notes to perfection. Any agent who earns herself the alias The Cavalry is bound to be a pretty high level warrior. Viewers have seen her take down scores of Hydra agents and do battle with Inhumans without seeming to break a sweat. And when a former S.H.I.E.L.D agent stole her face (long story), fans were treated to a May on May smackdown that featured some of the finest fight choreography in the MCU.
Brydie is an Australian writer and performer living in London and she complains exactly the same amount about the weather as every other Australian living in London. Yes, that is her natural lip colour, no, she will not be taking any further questions at this time.
