Comics legend Trina Robbins sent this to me. Awesome.

This is a list that needs no introduction other than to say, “I’m with them.”

13. Aunt May. How many times has she come back from the brink of death to be the rock of her family?

She said “deplorable.” From Ultimate Spider-Man #48 by Brian Michael Bendis, Mark Bagley and Art Thibert.

—

12. Mockingbird. The triple-threat: Smart. Strong. Funny.

Joelle Jones and Rachelle Rosenberg

—

11. She-Hulk. Will lift a tank then out-think you in the courtroom.

Kevin Wada

—

10. Hawkgirl. The greatest warrior in Justice League.

Bruce Timm, et al

—

9. Jessica Jones. Superhumanly tenacious.

Krysten Ritter and David Tennant. As brought to you by David Mack, Netflix, Marvel (and, of course, Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos).

—

8. Ms. Marvel. Her mere existence in the real world would give Donald Trump seizures. If only …

Cameron Stewart

—

7. Batgirl. I’ll even go further and specify Yvonne Craig’s Batgirl, who was always the smartest person in the room.

—

6. Amanda Waller. Nobody’s tougher.

Jerry Bingham

—

5. Black Widow. Could kill Vladimir Putin with a paper clip.

Phil Noto

—

4. Storm. She freaking controls the weather.

Victor Ibanez

—

3. Lois Lane. The Daily Planet journalist is the most dogged journalist on the planet. Just as dedicated to truth and justice as the guy she hangs around with. Also big on the First Amendment, unlike some demagogues I could name.

Gary Frank

—

2. Catwoman. Plays by her own rules at all times.

Darwyn Cooke

—

1. Wonder Woman. For every reason you see here.
