DC Artemis (Young Justice) - I would really like a version similar to the one from the Young Justice animated series to appear in comics. Black Canary (Dinah Lance) - I really miss the pre-Flashpoint version of Black Canary. Iris Allen Mera Miss Martian Oracle (Barbara Gordon) Power Girl (Kara Zor-L) Sadie Falk Speedy (Mia Dearden) Stargirl - As it has already been mentioned, I miss the pre-Flashpoint JSA version that was dating Billy Batson. Starfire (Koriand'r) - Pre-Flashpoint all the way. I will begrudgingly admit that Lobdell has done wonders to repair the damage that he created but she is still far from the Kori that I enjoyed reading about. Wonder Girl (Cassie Sandsmark) Wonder Woman - Even though I dropped her series, I have really been enjoying the DCnU version of the character. Marvel Black Cat Black Widow Blink - The AoA version is one of my favorite characters in comics. Crystal Emma Frost Gamora Kate Bishop - Her involvement in the original Young Avengers series made the series one of my favorite books at the time. Kitty Pryde Mockingbird Ms. Marvel - Sorry, I know she is Captain Marvel now but I prefer her as Ms. Marvel. Psylocke - I was never a fan of the character until reading Remender's Uncanny X-Force. Rogue Sharon Carter She Hulk Wasp I'm probably leaving out a bunch of characters but this will probably do for now. |

Also, I remember finding it interesting that X-Men letter columns back in the day having many female names attached to the letters. |

I haven't liked DC much since around 2000 I think. I still read it but don't really love it. It's weird, I loved Davids's Young Justice and Johns/Goyer JSA but can't really think of characters I like from those. Most of my DC love is from Giffen/DeMatteis JL. ![]() DC Big Barda Cameron Chase Donna Troy Fire Ice Jade Mary Marvel Power Girl Zatanna Marvel Aurora Carol Danvers Elsa Bloodstone (esp nextwave) Invisible Woman Jocasta (does she count?) Kitty Pryde Layla Miller Misty Knight (like Colleen Wing too but not as much) M Mockingbird (not sure about now) Molly Hayes Monica Rambeau Moonstone (love to hate her) Namora (Agents of Atlas) Nico Minoru Polaris Psylocke Scarlet Witch (pre-Bendis) She-Hulk (esp Slott) Sif Snowbird Songbird Spider-Woman (Drew) Spider-Woman (Carpenter) Squirrel Girl (Slott) Stature Troll Valkyrie Venus (Agents of Atlas) Wasp I'm sure there are more |

The comic might be decent, but, it's definitely one of the worst character redesigns I've ever seen. It's epically bad. Hab |

I would take anything over the psuedo-Astroboy look she has going now. Hab |

I've heard that's actually a solid title. Captain Marvel may get a boost from the upcoming Avengers Assemble crossover, but it doesn't seem like the title has the legs to last beyond any temporary sales bumps. |
