Action heroes have been an important part of the entertainment industry for a while now, which tends to be more male-dominated. In recent years, though, female action heroes have risen to the top inspiring young girls everywhere to be anything they want to be. Here are the top three female action heroes you should definitely know about:
1. Wonder Woman
Her lasso of truth is her trademark, and her super strength is what villains fear. Wonder Woman is probably the most well-known female action heroes out there, and one of the most popular in general. Born in the DC Comics world as Princess Diana of Themyscira, this warrior woman from the fictional Amazon is the epitome of strength. It’s no wonder she’s the most popular female action heroes in the world.
2. Elektra
This tough assassin from the Marvel world keeps everybody on their toes. Well-trained in martial arts, and skilled in taking her enemies by surprise, Elektra is silent but deadly. Her trademark weapons are two bladed sai ready to be used on anyone in her way. Although violent in nature, she’s highly independent and exudes a confidence that can be taken in by girls everywhere.
3. Storm
Another one of Marvel’s popular superheroes, Storm is a loyal member of the X-Men determined to fight for peace between mutants and humans. Even though humans prove to be relentlessly intolerant of her and other mutants, she stands strong by her beliefs. Her hope is what keeps her going on and reminds us to hold on to what we believe in. She teaches patience and tolerance, which makes her an action hero everybody should know about.
