Marvel vs. DC: Female Leaders
Ok, while I try and think up a poll for this week, lets revist this post. Maybe with a bit more of a focus. We'll concentrate on leadership of what constitue the A-list teams for both companies. At least the ones I think are A-list (though I wish I had a better memory for villian teams, to try and remember which have had female leaders)...
For Marvel (616):
Fantastic Four - Sue Storm
The Avengers (Mighty, Secret, Young, West Coast, Great Lakes, etc) - Wasp, Capt. Marvel/Photon, Scarlet Witch, Black Widow, Ms. Marvel
X-Teams - Storm, Psylocke, Husk, Mirage, Shadowcat on Excaliber?
Defenders - Moondragon? Valkryie?
New Warriors - Namorita/Khymera
Thunderbolts - Moonstone, Songbird
For DC (current continuity, so post Crisis, post Zero Hero, post Infinite Crisis)
Justice League of America - Black Canary, Zatanna, Wonder Woman
Justice Society of America (includes All-Stars, 7 Soldiers, etc): Power Girl, original Liberty Bell?
Teen Titans/Young Justice - Wonder Girl/Troia, Flamebird, Starfire, Mirage, Wonder Girl/Cassie?
Outsiders - Jade
Legion of Super-Heroes (current reboot ONLY) - I have no idea about whats going in the most recent reboot, except Supergirl is involved again
Anyone who can add some more female leaders feel free. Or arguements for missed A-list teams. Mostly this just shows that my spotty memory is slighty better for Marvel than DC. Still a few early conclusions might drawn here. First, just looking at their "flagship" teams (JLA and Avengers) Marvel seems to have the better record...
Edit: Added Starfire & Mirage to the Titans and Wonder Woman & Zatanna to JLA
