Caroline: She's a Rebel

"She's a rebel. She's a saint. She's the salt of the earth and she's dangerous.
She's a rebel. Vigilante, missing link on the brink of destruction."

Hiya, Puddin'!

Alright, I love comic books

Superheroes

Superhero movies

Superhero video games

You name it. 

Today, we'll take a look at some of my favorite ladies in the DC Universe. 

In no particular order, I present: 

ARTEMIS

As the protege of Green Arrow, Artemis has no super powers, but she certainly packs a whalop with her mastery archer knowledge, dangerous past, incredible agility and impressive fist fighting. What I love so much about her is that she had a rough childhood and her family members all became super villains. Despite this, Artemis took the other path and made a name for herself. She's also very sassy and won't put up with anything, even if it means arguing with team mates. 

BATGIRL

You all know her. In the old TV show, it was constantly proven that Batgirl is a better hand to hand combat fighter than both Batman and Robin. What makes her so amazing is that as a teenager, she decided to join Batman, without permission from him or anyone else. Making her even more awesome, when the original Batgirl gets injured and sentenced to a wheelchair, she continues doing hero work as the Oracle, giving out directions and advice to any heroes who call her. 

RAVEN

Oh man. Where do I begin? Raven is the daughter of Arella and Trigon. It's worth mentioning Trigon is this massive demon who wants to destroy everything. Trigon uses Raven as a sort of "key" to Earth so she can assist him in bringing about the end of the world. Knowing this, Raven tries her best to work with the good guys and hopefully counteract the evil that's inside her. This, plus her amazing powers and super cool outfit, makes her one of my favorites!








BLACK CANARY

As one of the league's best combat fighters, Canary doesn't put up with anything. With no super strength or flying abilities, Black Canary specializes in taking down enemies who are more super powered. Because of this, she is selected from the entire league to train the newer recruits. Her power is very interesting in that she can use a "canary cry" that is glass shattering and ear deafening. It can also cause explosions and create chaos for everyone and everything it's directed to. This is truly a dame you don't want to mess with.








ZATANNA

Zatanna truly is a classic and I have a special place in my heart for her. She's a master magician who has a unique gift, anything she says backwards happens instantly. As a close friend of Batman, Zatanna typically plays by the rules but always dazzles things up with some magic. Zatanna trained under her father, Zatara, and watching them work together means double the magic and double the epic-ness. What also makes Zatanna so cool is she's a working woman! When she isn't fighting with the League, she does stage shows as a magician!









HARLEY QUINN

Oh my Odin. This girl.
I cannot begin to explain how much I adore this character.
Named Harleen Quinzel, this criminal psychologist was assigned the Joker as a patient. The Joker twisted her mind and in turn, this innocent doctor became the psychotic criminal she is today! Stuck in an abusive relationship with the Joker, Harley becomes the punching bag until Poison Ivy befriends her and they take over Gotham.

 I cannot do this character justice in this small paragraph so just wait for a better post!





HAWKGIRL

Shayera Hol was born on Thanagar and quickly became the top fighter. There's a long, complicated story about her being a spy but it all works out in the end anyway so we'll skip it. Shayera clearly has the power of flight, incredible strategic skill, and wields an electric mace that disrupts all forms of magic. What makes her number one is her attitude, where the mission is all that matters to her and you better not get in her way. She even has a tiff with Wonder Woman and Wonder Woman is the woman to crack first! You seriously do not mess with HawkGirl. 








POISON IVY
Doctor Pamela Isley gets into a bit of a situation when her plant study goes up. As a vegetation enthusiast, this redhead is immune to toxins and can kill anyone with the poison in her kiss. She sometimes has the ability to manipulate plants, or at least communicate with them. Poison Ivy is basically a sister to Harley Quinn and is deeply concerned about feminism in Gotham!











WONDER WOMAN

Wonder Woman is one of the top 3 guns in the League. The Princess rocks out with her super strength, flight, and fighter attitude. Born as a warrior, the Princess of Themyscira was sent to America (hence the outfit) to fight in the war. Awesomely enough, being born onto a land with no men, Diana is proud of her feminist attitude and as an amazon she is truly a wonderful woman! 

Shout out to DIana for almost always being the only one to represent her entire gender in Justice League marketing!

I wish I was joking. 

DUELA DENT

Duela Dent has a fascinating backstory. 
Rumored as the daughter of Two Face, the Joker, or possibly even the Riddler, Duela lost everything when her father was murdered in front of her by the Gotham Police. Taking her father's last words to heart:
"Give them chaos... and it will drive them mad. Then you can rule the world." 
Duela Dent goes around blowing up banks and messing with gangs and the police. She even teams up with Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, and Catwoman to start world domination!
