Can Supergirl kick Superman’s butt? I say yes, and here’s why: I live in a
household of females. I believe God has done this to build my character, and not
as a cruel joke. So I know firsthand the strength and battle prowess of women.
Hence this post about My Favorite Female Superheroes of Pop Culture.
Let’s start with Supergirl. She was created in 1959 to be Superman’s
female counterpart. But in 2016, Supergirl became a force that overshadowed even
Superman with the TV show Supergirl. Supergirl’s real name is Kara
Zor-El. She is Superman’s cousin, and technically, an illegal alien. The Earth’s
sun gives her amazing power—unimaginable strength, x-ray vision, heat vision,
ice breath, invulnerability to nearly any human weapon, and the awesome capacity
to fly. Like Superman, she is vulnerable to Kryptonite. Supergirl lives in
National City under the name of Kara Danvers, and works for media mogul Cat
Grant. Her true identity is masked by her geekish demeanor and, of course,
glasses. To prove my point about the battle prowess of women, I am compelled to
point out that Supergirl defeated Reactron, whom Superman could not.
Wonder Woman’s real name is Princess Diana of Themyscira. She is a
princess of the Amazons (no relation to the internet retailer), a mythical group
of women warriors. Her alter ego is named Diana Prince, and she works as a
United States government agent for the Department of Metahuman Affairs. Thanks
to her Amazonian training, Wonder Woman has extraordinary skills in strategy,
hunting and fighting. Her weapons include the Lasso of Truth, a pair of
indestructible bracelets, and a tiara which she uses as a projectile. She has
superhuman strength and pilots, of all things, an invisible jet! How cool is that?
Red Sonja, the She-Devil with a Sword, is a high fantasy sword and
sorcery heroine. Red Sonja is the archetypal fierce and beautiful female
barbarian. She can wield any bladed weapon with the skill of Conan the
Barbarian, with whom she has been on several adventures. He crossed swords with
her on occasion as well, but it didn’t go too well for him.
Batgirl has no actual super powers. She doesn’t need them. She relies on
her incredible skills of stealth and the intense combat training she received
from Batman. She also has a set of impressive gadgets, from her batarang to
pocket explosives and gas pellets that she uses to create a smoke cloud. Her
cape isn’t bulletproof, but it is fireproof, acid proof, and shields against
radioactivity. Yes, I believe she could kick Batman’s butt. I mean, Cat Woman
does it all the time.
Which brings us to the latest female superhero on my list, Rinnie Noelle.
Rinnie is a Psi Fighter, trained in the Mental Arts, a crime fighting style that
blends martial arts with psionic ability. Rinnie can kick butt better than Chuck
Norris and Bruce Lee combined. Like Batgirl, her skills are learned. There was
no radioactive spider (although she is deathly afraid of spiders) or
gamma-induced super strength. Rinnie got to be the amazing crimefighter she is
by years of dedication and grueling practice. Her high tech armor is made of a
space age material so strong it makes kevlar look like cheap aluminum foil, and
the voice-altering electronics in her mask give her the ability to roar like
Death Incarnate or sing the C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E-S-O-N-G song like SpongeBob. She
also has a highly sophisticated technology that allows her to create weapons
from her thoughts and emotions, her favorite of which is the Thought Saber.
Rinnie loves swordplay, and her skill would make Zorro blubber like a little
girl who dropped her ice cream cone.
So there’s my rundown of the top female superheroes. I hope all the crime
fighters out there found it useful. Oops, look at the time. I have to go.
THE PSI WHO LOVED ME manuscript is calling me.
GIVEAWAY
Who is your favorite superhero? Tell us below and you could win a signed copy
of Psi Another Day (the
first book) and a Psi Fighter Street Team t-shirt.
D. R. Rosensteel is a research consultant who had no intention of writing
anything but technical papers describing his theories of metaphysical
psychometry. But when a hoodied teen showed him a device that turned her
thoughts into weapons, and told him about a secret society of protectors who
trained her in their underground Academy, he knew her story had to be
written.
He has put his research on hold to document the adventures of a
girl whose face he’s never seen and whose real name he’ll never know. The first
book in the Psi Fighter Academy series is now available in a bookstore near you!
PSI Fighter
Academy #2
Sixteen-year-old Rinnie Noelle is called into action again as the crime rate
suddenly accelerates in Greensburg. Nicolaitan, the man who murdered Rinnie's
parents, makes it clear that he wants Rinnie, and will go on a murder spree
until she gives herself up. Rinnie's friends and teachers disappear in a bizarre
game of riddles where fresh cemetery plots and poetic clues point to the next
victim. Her rescue missions expose Rinnie to the horrors of the mysterious
LaReau Mansion, and the secrets of the haunted Livermore Burial Grounds.
Between keeping the Dweeb League from getting themselves killed, dealing with
a new Psi Fighter who gives her attitude, and trying to figure out who
Nicolaitan's next victim is before it's too late, Rinnie learns that the stakes
are higher than she is ready to deal with. Nicolaitan has declared war. He is
using a mind-control drug to manipulate high school students, using them as
puppets to carry out his crimes, and he doesn't care who becomes collateral
damage in the process.
In a climactic showdown, the Psi Fighters are badly outnumbered by Walpurgis
Knights when they face off for the first time in a decade. Even if the Knights
lose, someone Rinnie loves may die in battle. But if the Knights win, Rinnie
will be shot full of the mind control drug Psychedone 10, and forced to become
Nicolaitan's slave.

I like Henry Cavill's Superman (because I really just like Henry Cavill), but for the
women empowerment aspect, I like WONDER WOMAN!
