List of Best Female Marvel Characters in 2023
Here is the list of some badass female marvel characters:
1. Black Widow
She also goes by Natasha Romanoff’s name as a master spy. She is the only female character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that was part of the Avengers films and fought with them but did not have any powers or vests to fight back. Since she worked with many spy organizations and had to go through a lot throughout her life to save herself, she gained extra skills, very few Avengers had. Although she used some gadgets created by Iron Man, aka Tony Stark, the major weapon she used was her body and mind.
2. Gamora
A green-skinned alien who looked for washing her sins did by her and her adopted father, Thanos. She was a personal assassin to Thanos, who made him do many sins. She is an alien, and she is smart. She has superpowers and skills. She received her skills because Thanos, the major villain of ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ and ‘Avengers: End Game’ himself trained him from childhood, and working with him as an Assassin taught her a lot of skills.
3. Captain Marvel
She also goes by the name Captain Carol Danvers gained superpowers after getting trapped in a blast of nuclear energy.

4. Scarlet Witch
There are literally no limits to her powers. She almost defeated Thanos, the strongest villain of Marvel comics, single-handedly. You may see many of her powers in the Avengers movies; you may find it tempting, but she was much more powerful than that shown in the movies. You can find that in the comic books. We believe her powers are a little outlandish. According to the comic books, with some concentration, a bit of a fury, and mumbling three simple words, she can rebuild the reality that can suit her desires. This means she can change anything anytime and all the history in just a matter of time.
5. Jessica Jones

She had the powers to control the mind, fly, and some superhuman strength which even helped her lift a police car weighing 2 tons with hardly any effort.

This character had powers even better than the ant-man himself. The wasp could become giant, i.e., as big as a building or even more or microscopic in size whenever she wanted. She had an antenna that helped telepathically communicate to the insects and call for their help like backup, stingers for attacking, and wings to fly. She took martial arts training as well.

She had the powers to kill any area with Tsunamis and other natural calamities like storms, cyclones, etc. Her most loved weapon was lightning. She called upon lightning to kill or make her opponent bow, and the opponent had no other option than to stop. These weather-controlling powers made her extremely strong.

She is intellectually and tactically powerful and physically strong. She had many experiences with evil organizations like HYDRA and S.H.I.E.L.D.

She is the character who first appeared in ‘Black Panther.’ She is from the hidden kingdom of Wakanda. Okoye was the chauffeur for the king, knows martial arts, and is a skilled warrior. She was more skilled in traditional weapons like swords and sticks, but she adopted modern high-tech weapons due to their unavailability.
15. Rogue
She also goes by the name Anna Marie. She had the fabulous ability to remove or suck up to anybody’s strength and memories. This was an involuntary power which means it was not under her control.

Although mentioned in the end, she is the most powerful character of all Marvel characters. Remember the powers Thanos had with all the infinity stones? Multiply that power with 3, and you get one Nemesis. She is the result of six infinity stones together. She had unimaginable powers that could destroy the universe in a fraction of seconds.
