Hottest Women in Comics

*Originally published on 2/4/09



I'm in a list mood today, OK? I covered the top ten most attractive cartoon characters so now we will talk about characters seen in comic books.

10. Supergirl

Cousin to the man of steel. Kara Zor-El has become quite comely without succumbing to the over the top proportions of Power Girl. Her costume is attractive, but not sleazy. She has that farmer's daughter look to her, fitting as she lives in Kansas.

9. Black Canary

Wig or no wig, Dinah's one hot cookie. Fishnets help, I won't lie, but they aren't necessary. As the one woman to tame Green Arrow, Dinah earns her spot on this list as a woman who can make even a playboy like Oliver Queen commit.

8. Rogue

Part of this comes from her characterization from the cartoon (that accent, man!). Still, Rogue in the comics is quite attractive. Her flirty personality is endearing while not being too pushy or overeager.

7. She Hulk

If Star Trek taught us one thing it's that green women are hot. She Hulk certainly falls into this category. Not only can she smash like her male counterpart, but she's a lawyer. I'm not kidding. Beauty, brains and brawn, it is a potent combination that guarantees her a spot on my top 10 list.

6. Inza

A lot of you may not recognize this one. She's the wife of Dr. Fate (DC's Dr. Strange). I never came across her in the comics, but if she's anything like the DCAU version, than Inza is a very polite and pleasant person. I haven't seen her with her hair down, but I doubt it would be difficult on the eyes.

5. Jean Grey

Ah, the character that's enthralled not just Cyclops but Wolverine as well. Whether it be in comics, cartoon, or movie, Jean is definitely one of the best looking women I've seen. She's also telepathic and telekinetic. You can ask her to get you a drink in your head and she can do so with no hassle to her at all. There's also the fact that no matter how hard the bad boy hits on her with innuendo, she's loyal to the man she's with. That sort of fidelity is hard to find.

4. Mallory (head trip comics)

Another obscure one. This geeky antisocial hottie won me over as I was scrolling through the "back issues" of this webcomic a few months back.

3. Talia Al Ghul

Daughter of immortal eco-terrorist Ra's al Ghul, Talia is a femme fatale as well as the love of Bruce's life (well one of them anyways, odd that he has more than one as by definition you'd think "love of X's life would be a single person).

2. Zatanna

I've always had a soft spot for this character. She's hot, yes and again with the fishnets, but it's more than that. Most writers actually capture how nice Zatanna is. She doesn't judge or talk down to anyone. Like Wonder Woman she is a good and caring friend. I mean, how can you not like her?

1. Wonder Woman

I know, she was number one on the other list, but it's not undeserved. It's freaking Wonder Woman. I defy you to find a more attractive character, especially in comics. Don't bother, you won't find it. Compassionate and caring, while being strong, assertive, and fierce, Wonder Woman will bow to no man but manages to maintain a sensible demeanor when interacting with men. A true idol for feminists everywhere.
