00:05DC and Marvel have both served up some mind-blowing male heroes, but the women are wondrous as well.
00:11It takes more than a costume and an attitude to do this work.
00:14If the two universes were to collide, which woman would reign supreme?
00:18Welcome to WatchMojo.com, and today we'll be counting down our picks for the top 10 superheroines of all time.
00:23I'm sure you could have handled these crooks without my help, but I was glad for the chance to join
00:29in the fun.
00:30For this list, we'll be combining both our DC superheroines and Marvel superheroines lists to see who's the best of
00:36the badass females.
00:37But hey, looks aren't everything.
00:39If there's something missing you think should have made our ultimate list, be sure to check out our videos of
00:44the top 10 Marvel superheroines and top 10 DC superheroines to see how they rank in their respective universes.
00:50I wasn't sure if you were on the west coast or... oh no.
00:52So, slip on your spandex suit and get ready for battle between these members of the not-so-gentle sex.
00:58Well, I have learned one thing. It's not polite to hit a lady.
01:03Number 10, Electra, Marvel Universe.
01:06My name's Lexi Magix.
01:08One of the most complex Marvel characters, Electra is a master of the martial arts and has a tortured relationship
01:13with the superhero Daredevil.
01:15I'm sure I'm not. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm.
01:22If you're except for oderr film.
01:22Better, by accusing her career as an assassin and has used her incredible skills for evil, she's also teamed up
01:26with the good guys on many occasions...
01:28Why not?
01:30You didn't turn out so bad.
01:32Electra is ruthless and cunning, qualities that make her a valued ally and a fearsome opponent.
01:38She's also intensely determined. Even death was unable to claim her for very long..
01:46Number 9, Black Widow, Marvel Universe
01:49Who are you?
01:50Natasha Romanoff.
01:52Originally an elite Soviet sleeper agent, the Black Widow defected to the West
01:56and became one of the most valuable members of Nick Fury's S.H.I.E.L.D. team.
02:00Before I worked for S.H.I.E.L.D., I, uh, well, I made a name for myself.
02:09Though the Widow's abilities have been somewhat augmented,
02:11it's her physical prowess and keen strategic intellect that make her a force to be reckoned with.
02:20Thanks to her espionage background, the Black Widow can take on a number of roles
02:24and play them all convincingly, making her invaluable for infiltrating enemy organizations.
02:33Number 8, Miss Marvel, Marvel Universe
02:35My name is Miss Marvel, and I'm here to welcome you to Earth.
02:39Created back in 1968, Carol Danvers was originally a determined security officer
02:44in the United States Air Force who developed superhuman powers
02:48due to an encounter that fused her DNA with that of an alien from the Kree race.
02:52If you really knew anything about humanity, you'd know we could never do what you're asking.
02:58Now blessed with a wide range of powers, including super strength, flight, super speed, and photonic blasts,
03:04she began her heroic career as Miss Marvel.
03:07Join the Avengers.
03:09I, I don't know what to say.
03:12A member of many incarnations of the Avengers, Carol recently assumed the name of Captain Marvel,
03:17with the name of Miss Marvel being passed on to a teenage girl named Kamala Khan.
03:22I believed in you.
03:23I named myself after you.
03:25Number 7, Rogue, Marvel Universe
03:28It was an accident.
03:29Until she gained control over her powers, things were rough for Rogue.
03:33The first boy I ever kissed ended up in a coma for three weeks.
03:39She couldn't touch anyone without draining them of their memories, strengths, and abilities.
03:44When people touch my skin, something happens.
03:46What?
03:48I don't know.
03:50They just get hurt.
03:51Once she learned how to control her abilities, things became easier, though not perfect.
03:55What's wrong is I can't touch my boyfriend without killing him.
03:58Other than that, I'm wonderful.
03:59Along the way, Rogue absorbed Miss Marvel's powers and personality,
04:03and found herself battling the super heroine for control over her own body.
04:08What?
04:10What are you doing?
04:13Acting like a sponge for other mutant's powers, Rogue is not someone to be trifled with.
04:20Oh.
04:22Oh.
04:25Oh.
04:25Number 6, The Invisible Woman, Marvel Universe
04:29I think you both know my director of genetic research, Susan Storm.
04:33One of Marvel's most iconic characters,
04:36The Invisible Woman is one of the original members of the Fantastic Four.
04:39We're all in this together, Ben.
04:41Together?
04:42Participating in an experimental starship flight,
04:44Cosmic Rays gave Susan Storm Richards the power to turn invisible
04:47and to create force fields of amazing strength.
04:50Look at me!
04:51Sue, look at your hands.
04:52Oh.
04:53Oh.
04:55Over the years, The Invisible Woman has learned to manipulate her force fields to incredible effect,
05:00enabling her to levitate or cause objects to explode.
05:08And, as Sue's confidence has grown, so has the intensity of her power.
05:13Let's not fight.
05:15No.
05:15Let's.
05:22I'd like you to meet Aurora Monroe, also called Storm.
05:26With her ability to totally control the weather,
05:29Storm is quite literally a force of nature,
05:31and not one to be messed with.
05:33Sometimes anger can help you survive.
05:36Orphaned at an early age,
05:37a witch priestess took Storm under her wing
05:39and taught her how to control and use her mighty powers.
05:48Storm has been a long-time member and sometimes leader of the X-Men,
05:51and it's her insight and commanding presence,
05:54along with her awesome powers,
05:55that make her one of the team's most important members.
05:58Do you know what happens to a toad when it's struck by lightning?
06:08The same thing that happens to everything else.
06:11No.
06:114.
06:11Batgirl, DC Universe
06:13And you are?
06:15Batgirl.
06:16Batgirl's cape and cowl have been donned by several people,
06:19but Barbara Gordon remains the person most identified with the character.
06:22If I don't ace these midterms,
06:24Dad says he'll throw me in jail.
06:26And with my dad, that's no idle threat.
06:28Daughter of Gotham City Police Commissioner James Gordon,
06:31Barbara started her Batgirl career by accident.
06:34She was dressed up for a costume party
06:35when she encountered a criminal situation.
06:38My dual identity,
06:39and you must swear never to reveal it to anyone.
06:41Barbara's Batgirl career was interrupted for several years
06:44after she was paralyzed by the Joker.
06:46But even then,
06:48she continued fighting crime behind the scenes
06:50as Batman's technical advisor, Oracle.
06:52Not for a very long time.
06:54Her subsequent return to the Batgirl mantle
06:56promises new heights of glory for the unsinkable heroine.
07:00If you won't let me help you, what else can I do?
07:02Good.
07:03You've got some sense after all.
07:05No.
07:053.
07:06Jean Grey, Marvel Universe
07:07Jean!
07:10I know you're still there!
07:13Whether calling herself Marvel Girl,
07:15Red, Miss Psyche,
07:16or White Phoenix of the Crown,
07:18Jean Grey has been a starring player
07:20in the Marvel Universe
07:21for more than five decades.
07:23I keep feeling something terrible is about to happen.
07:25Jean has made a definitive impression
07:27from her debut in the first issue of X-Men,
07:30but gained true legendary status
07:31during the epic Dark Phoenix storyline.
07:34For your own good, Jean.
07:37Stay out of my head.
07:39In her experiences,
07:40both good and bad,
07:42with the Phoenix Force,
07:43Jean has achieved a level of power
07:44that is truly god-like.
07:46I can move things with my mind.
07:48Really?
07:49What kinds of things?
07:52All kinds of things.
07:53But even when working without the Phoenix,
07:55her telekinetic powers demand respect.
07:58Jean.
08:00Enough.
08:04Enough!
08:07Number two,
08:08Supergirl,
08:09DC Universe.
08:10We both know how this is going to turn out.
08:13The real Kara Zor-El,
08:14Kara Zor-El from Earth-1,
08:15better known as Supergirl,
08:17is the cousin to the Man of Steel.
08:18You're Superman's best friend, huh?
08:22No.
08:23His cousin.
08:24Like Superman,
08:25she is the survivor of the planet Krypton,
08:27and so the lesser gravity of Earth,
08:29combined with the solar energy from Earth's yellow sun,
08:32give her a range of mighty superpowers.
08:43The original Supergirl gave her life
08:45in the Crisis on Infinite Earth series.
08:47Subsequent versions of the character
08:48altered her origins
08:49so she was actually no longer from Krypton.
08:52I had to come back to the one place
08:54in the universe I have family.
08:55However,
08:56the most recent reboot
08:57has returned Supergirl
08:58to her rightful Kryptonian heritage.
09:06Before we reveal our top pick,
09:08here are a few honorable mentions.
09:10I am sorry to disappoint you,
09:12but I am stronger than I look.
09:15Good.
09:17I was looking for a fight.
09:19You give theoretical physicists a bad name.
09:21Now knock it off,
09:23before I make you.
09:24It's a portal into my mind,
09:26not a toy!
09:28You can stop trying to read my mind, sugar.
09:32You're never going to get anything from me
09:34while I'm like this.
09:35Number 1.
09:36Wonder Woman
09:37DC Universe
09:38Look!
09:39It's Wonder Woman!
09:41Along with Batman and Superman,
09:43Wonder Woman completes the big three
09:44of DC Comics' most iconic characters.
09:47You must now tell the truth.
09:50You are working with the Falcon.
09:51Raised on an isolated island
09:53by a race of Amazons,
09:55Princess Diana assumed the mantle
09:56of Wonder Woman
09:57when she came to the world of men.
09:59Here, she fights for justice
10:00and liberty for all people.
10:06Her super strength,
10:07flying ability,
10:08and magic lasso,
10:10buttressed by her warrior training,
10:12make her a formidable opponent.
10:13But her greatest asset
10:15may be as a cultural symbol
10:17who has inspired and empowered
10:18countless girls and women to follow.
10:20Wonder Woman!
10:23Wonder Woman!
10:25Do you agree with our choices?
10:26You don't know me at all.
10:28Which hiney-kicking heroine
10:29do you think deserved a spot on this list?
