Random Hyper-Violent Female Superhero Moments in Comic Book History (10 items)

(#5) Black Canary Beats Up a Bar of Bikers

Fans have plenty of material to love in Frank Miller's All Star Batman and Robin, but one moment that certainly stands out is Black Canary's complete takedown of the rowdy individuals who want her to give them a little "extra attention." There comes a point where she just can't take it anymore in issue #3 and snaps.

She leaves behind a bar full of broken limbs and jaws, and then makes one of the guys who was hitting on her eat his own wedding ring.
(#10) The Blob Devours the Wasp

As much as Hannibal Lector makes eating people seem delicious, cannibalism is a touchy subject. To some, the idea of ripping apart another individual's guts and eating them might seem a little distasteful, but that thought never crossed the minds of the writers of the Marvel Ultimate series.

To start the series off with a bang, they killed off one of the original members of the Avengers, Wasp, in a horrific and brutal way. She drowned in a flood and her body floated in the sewer where it was discovered by the grotesque Blob. As if the shock of seeing her dead wasn't a powerful enough image, the writers made Blob start ripping her apart and eating her.
(#2) Wonder Woman Snaps Maxwell Lord's Neck

Wonder Woman is THE prime example of a badass female superhero. Throughout her many, many years in comics, different writers and artists have reinterpreted who they think Wonder Woman is and what she stands for. One of the most controversial moments in the character's history comes from Wonder Woman Vol 2 #219. In that story, villainous Maxwell Lord has Superman under mind control.

Wonder Woman comes to save her friend, and after she ties up Lord with her Lasso of Truth, she asks how to save Superman. Lord responds that she would have to kill him to free Superman. Understanding what has to be done, Wonder Woman doesn't hesitate and snaps Lord's neck with her bare hands.
(#1) Batgirl Gets Her Revenge

When the DC re-launched their universe with the New 52, they changed most of the heroes' backstories. Though in a curious decision, the powers that be decided to keep Batgirl's awful past - the part where the Joker paralyzed and possibly sexually assaulted her. Why would they do such a thing? Revenge.
In the new story, she regained the use of her legs and resumed the mantle of Batgirl. Then in Batgirl #15, she finally comes face to face with the monster who ruined her life. She doesn't end up killing him (a shame really), but she does consider paralyzing him in the same way he paralyzed her and hands him a thorough ass beating.
(#6) Harley Quinn Makes Deadshot Wear the Joker's Face

Most readers know Harley Quinn is the farthest thing from a superhero a person can be, but her time with the Suicide Squad helped turn her into more of an antihero. Sure, she has helped save the world, but that doesn't mean she's left a life of violence behind, either. One of the goriest and twisted things she's done while working with the Suicide Squad is make her second lover, Deadshot, wear the Joker's face.

In Suicide Squad Vol. 4 #7, she ties Deadshot up in a chair, pulls out the Joker's removed face, and makes the assassin wear it. Quinn then straddles Deadshot and asks why he ever left her. It's gory, it's violent, and it's absolutely beyond words.
(#8) Dark Phoenix Kills 5 Billion People

Many fans consider the Dark Phoenix Saga one of the best stories ever told, not just in the X-Men Universe, but in all of comic history. After Jean Gray sacrifices herself to save her teammates, she rises again as the Phoenix, one of the most powerful beings in existence.

Sinister forces then corrupt her and she becomes Dark Phoenix, who goes on to wipe out over 5 billion beings in a distant star system in Uncanny X-Men #135.
