\"gamora\"<\/a>Marvel and Disney have brought movie fans far and wide some of the strong, bravest and most beautiful heroines in cinematic history. While Marvel has a pretty good track record with female heroes, the Cinematic Universe has slowly but surely introduced a long gallery of fantastic and complex bad asses, some of whom are cinematic creations, while others brought in to the flesh from the pages of the comics. These are five of my favorite beauties from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Did I miss any of your favorites? <\/p>\n

\"Darcy_Lewis\"<\/a>Honorable Mention: Darcy Lewis
\n<\/strong>Mostly a second banana in the \u201cThor\u201d movies, Darcy is the perfect antithesis to the blander Jane Foster. With a spunky attitude and appealing charisma, Lewis approaches most of the fantastic events in both \u201cThor\u201d movies with wit and awe, making her one of the more underrated heroines of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I\u2019d love to see Darcy eventually brought back to the MCU for a supporting role in another of the superhero films down the line. She deserves it.<\/p>\n

\"black_widow\"<\/a>5. <\/strong>Black Widow
\n<\/strong>Widow made her first appearance in the pretty dull \u201cIron Man 2,\u201d opening the door wider to the Marvel Universe, and showing what kind of hero she\u2019d become when teamed against larger threats. She\u2019s a deadly force to be reckoned with, one filled with a myriad of skills abilities, and deadly techniques. She can even interrogate a suspect without even asking them a single question, and can infiltrate literally any strong hold, be it SHIELD or the US Government. Widow is a dazzling and fierce goddess, and one of the only women of Marvel sporting her own flying car.<\/p>\n

\"mariahill\"<\/a>4. <\/strong>Maria Hill
\n<\/strong>Though Hill may not be a super soldier or a god from Norse mythology, she can rumble with the best of the titans at Marvel. Not only is she fiercely loyal to SHIELD and Nick Fury, she manages to help SHIELD rebuild when Hydra takes over in \u201cWinter Soldier,\u201d and goes toe to toe with Hawkeye in \u201cThe Avengers\u201d when his mind is consumed by Loki, forcing him to become a deadly member of his rising army and goal to take over the world. Hill can take a beating, is a strong soldier, and is more than a capable replacement should Black Widow someday call it quits from Earth\u2019s Mightiest Heroes.<\/p>\n

\"Scarlet-Witch\"<\/a>3. <\/strong>Wanda Maximoff
\n<\/strong>Wanda Maximoff, or Scarlet Witch, is a powerful and unique young woman still learning the full capacity of her powers. As beautiful as she is powerful, Maximoff is a ticking time bomb who has to be implemented wisely, or else she may begin killing people very soon. Though she\u2019s initially very meek and submissive when we meet her, she grows in to a valuable member by \u201cCivil War,\u201d committing to difficult tasks the other team members can\u2019t pull off, and being thrown in to a personal war between a bunch of seasoned warriors.<\/p>\n

\"hopevandyne\"<\/a>2. <\/strong>Hope Van Dyne<\/strong>
\nHope comes from an impressive and intimidating dynasty of scientific brilliance, and she\u2019s very anxious to prove herself when we meet her. The daughter of Janet Van Dyne, she\u2019s tasked with putting up with her father Hank, while also having to mentor his new apprentice Scott Lang, after a series of circumstances prompts interest from Pym. Hope is a long suffering warrior with a lot of potential to strike out on her own and is by no means a damsel in distress. She gives just as good as she gets, and will likely really show she can kick ass alongside the Avengers very soon.<\/p>\n

\"agent13\"<\/a>1. Sharon Carter, Agent 13
\n<\/strong>The niece of Steve Rogers\u2019 first love Peggy, Sharon Carter is a young woman who made her first appearance in \u201cWinter Soldier.\u201d One of the very few agents of SHIELD who stood up against the rising tide of Hydra, and willing to team up with Steve to save the world, Sharon made an instant impact as a tough and courageous agent willing to do whatever it takes to preserve the legacy of SHIELD and keep Hydra from taking over the world. Sharon is not just gorgeous and charming, but she\u2019s bold and ballsy, taking Steve\u2019s side during \u201cCivil War,\u201d sneaking the weaponry to Steve\u2019s team during the climactic battle, and even going hand to hand with a brainwashed Bucky as he takes down team members at every turn. It\u2019s no wonder Steve is so smitten with her. She\u2019s a bonafide doll who also could probably give Maria Hill or Black Widow and run for their money.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
