Comic books, more than any other genre, are responsible for creating strong female characters. And many of the strongest female characters happen to be supervillains. More than femme fetales, these are often strong, powerful women who have amazing superpowers and can kick some serious ass. They also happen to be evil and, more often than not, out for revenge. Many a superhero has been tripped up by a beautiful but evil supervillain. And for every Lex Luthor there seems to be a Catwoman, for every Dr. Doom a Poison Ivy. So here is a list if the top 10 comic book female supervillains of all time.
10. Harley Quinn – Batman
Originally conceived as a female sidekick to the Joker for the 1990s animated Batman television series, Harley Quinn proved so popular that she moved into the Batman comic books as well. And it didn’t take long for Harley Quinn to get her own comic book series, and later a starring role in the Batman spin-off title Gotham City Sirens. Harley Quinn’s fandom is due to the fact that she is mischievous, revels in being bad and can kick some ass when she needs to. Harley Quinn is also the perfect female counterpoint to the Joker and has proven to be a handful for Batman. A brand new Harley Quinn comic is now in the works at DC Comics, and the character will be played by actress Margot Robbie in next summer’s blockbuster film Suicide Squad.
