So in film and television, who is your favorite action hero or superhero? The new film about Wonder Woman got me thinking about this. |
| brass1 | 21 Jun 2017 6:51 a.m. PST |
Black Widow. Has no superpowers but kicks major butt. LT |

Another vote Black Widow. |
| Winston Smith | 21 Jun 2017 7:22 a.m. PST |
The one played by Scarlett Johansson. What's her name. |
| Pictors Studio | 21 Jun 2017 7:23 a.m. PST |
Deadly little Miho. Would be Elektra but I haven't been super fond of her portrayal in film or television yet. |
| dilettante | 21 Jun 2017 7:32 a.m. PST |
Wonder Woman. Both Lynda Carter and Gal Godot. |

As soon as they make a movie about her, my choice will be the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl! Till then, given the parameters above, Wonder Woman as portrayed by Linda Carter. (I haven't seen the new film yet.) |

Revealing my generation, my fav isn't a super hero but definitely a TV action hero: Diana Rigg as Mrs. Peele in the 1965-67 seasons of "The Avengers". |
 StoneMtnMinis | 21 Jun 2017 8:07 a.m. PST |
Sarah Walker from "Chuck". |

Classics of the little screen: * Honey West (the first independent female character; cancelled because the networks didn't want 2 such characters on the air after Avengers came along and it was cheaper to license Avengers) * Buffy * Xena
Big Screen:
* Barbarella
* Golden Swallow in Come Drink With Me; breakthrugh Wuxia film that really set the standard.
* Foxy Brown |

Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup, aka The Powerpuff Girls. Watched this with my daughter many years ago when she was little. We still laugh and joke about it. |

Wonder Woman as portrayed by Linda Carter.
Batgirl as portrayed by Yvonne Craig.
The Invisible Girl as portrayed in the original Fantastic Four cartoon show. Mike Bunkermeister Creek

Can't decide. It's between Electra Woman or Dyna Girl
|
| Extrabio1947 | 21 Jun 2017 12:07 p.m. PST |
Another vote for Sigourney Weaver's Ripley in the Alien franchise. |
| robert piepenbrink | 21 Jun 2017 12:30 p.m. PST |
Drat. I was sloppy. "In film or television?" OK, pull Oracle and put me down for the Black Widow With Elasti-girl in second. But if we extend the range to books, Nile Etland from James H. Schmidt's The Demon Breed--and always a special place in my heart for Clarissa MacDougal, the Red Lenswoman. |

Jeanne d'Arc. Imagine ordering about sucessfully a bunch of newbies, of obvious high morale and behavioral standarts, intricately well bred and cultured bunch such as the mid 100 y war French army… |
 piper909 | 21 Jun 2017 1:45 p.m. PST |
Yvonne (Batgirl) Craig, Lynda (Wonder Woman) Carter, Lucy (Xena) Lawless, Sandahl (Valeria) Bergman, Electra Woman and Dyna Girl as above, Helen (Supergirl) Slater, the original Harley Quinn as in the animated Batman series; and Zatanna the magician altho' she has only made a few animated appearances. Squirrel Girl is also tops! |
| ZULUPAUL | 21 Jun 2017 1:56 p.m. PST |
The original Wonder Woman of TV. |

One more for Lynda Carter and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. |
 Jeff Ewing | 21 Jun 2017 6:19 p.m. PST |
Wait, it's "film or television?" I was going to say Halo Jones. Besides the many fine heroines already mentioned, I'd add Katarra and Korra from the Avatar series. |

Gal Gadot's WonderWoman is simply amazing. Scarlett Johansen's Black Widow too. It's a toss up. |
| Patrick Sexton | 22 Jun 2017 9:32 a.m. PST |
Movies: Ripley, Wonder Woman, Alice. TV: Buffy. |
