For International Women’s Day, I am asking everyone to name their ONE favorite female-identifying character each for DC or Marvel. This is your all-time favorite from each publisher, and no cheating is allowed.

Who do you choose?

I don’t read much Marvel or DC, but from the top of my head:

Marvel: Gertrude Yorkes (Arsenic) from The Runaways. I identify with her cynicism and sarcasm as well as for the fact she’s not some typical caricature comic book body type.

DC: Hawkgirl (Shayera) from the Justice League Animated Series. She’s reserved when it comes to herself, but also short tempered and overall a tough fighter with intelligence.
