And there have been badass women in comics
From the top of my head alone we have She-Hulk, Phoenix, Squirrel Girl, Emma Frost, Invisible Woman, Spider-Gwen, Storm, Wasp, Black Widow, Captain Marvel, X-23, Scarlett Witch, Power Girl, Supergirl, Wonder Woman, Bleez, Hawkgirl, Zatanna, Raven, Starfire, Giganta, Cheetah, Lady Shiva…
And none of them are particularly recent in their debut…
