20 Best Female Characters In Comic Book Movies - Ranked

10. Scarlet Witch

Comic Book Females
Marvel Studios

Introduced with twin brother Quicksilver (RIP) in Avengers: Age of Ultron as a minor villainess, Scarlet Witch has quickly run through the ranks from ally to full-on Avenger and (following the events of Civil War) outlaw. While she was fun enough in Age of Ultron, the personality and soul which shone through in Civil War makes her eligible for such a relatively high place on this list.

Ultimately responsible for Civil War itself, Wanda Maximoff spends the movie wracked with guilt and unsure of herself, while also fostering a burgeoning friendship with The Vision (subsequently ruined) and trying to find her own place following the loss of her brother. That such a strong, emotional and good performance should come from an Olsen sister (albeit the talented one) is perhaps most shocking of all.
