Black Widow
Debut - Iron Man 2 (2010)
Remember when Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow was the only substantial Marvel female character on screen? Sure, there was Pepper Potts, but then Gwyneth Paltrow’s screen time in the movies started to get inversely proportional to the popularity of Goop, her ridiculously extra lifestyle brand that encourages people to reach their “leanest livable weight”, which was probably the least ludicrous thing they’ve suggested. But I digress.
Zamora
Debut - Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)
The adopted daughter of Thanos (he adopted her after he killed her entire race!), Zamora’s reputation as the “deadliest woman in the galaxy” is hardly surprising given her background. She grew up serving the mad Titan Deviant, and did his bidding until she decided she didn’t want to anymore, and broke free.
As a former assassin, she’s the cool, aloof-yet-trusted member of the Guardians of the Galaxy; played by Zoe Saldaña in the MCU, Zamora, relationships with Star-Lord as well as her estranged fugitive sister Nebula, show her as someone capable of love, compassion and forgiveness, without putting any dent in her fighter/assassin status.
Scarlet Witch
Debut - Avengers: Age of Ultra (2015)
If ever there was a female superhero with complicated powers that the MCU had only scratched the surface of, it’s Scarlet Witch. Born Wanda Maximoff in the East European country of Segovia, she grew up with her twin brother Pietro (Quicksilver), and was experimented on under the supervision of Wolfgang won trucker’s HYDRA. Both siblings got superpowers, with Wanda’s being telekinesis, hypnosis/telepathy, and energy manipulation.
The MCU’s Scarlet Witch is pretty much in keeping with the way the character is written in the comics, and Elizabeth Olsen’s portrayal of her certainly does the mad, slightly unstable brilliance of Scarlet Witch’s powers a lot of justice. Switching sides from supporting Ultra to being a member of the Avengers, her brother’s subsequent sacrifice in the battle of Segovia, and her siding with Captain America in Civil War, have all made Scarlet Witch a complex and tortuous female superhero, but a really intriguing one nonlethal
