Top 10 Kickass Female TV Characters

[@berleybrooks99]

What the hell? How is Buffy not number 1? She is the definition of a kick-ass woman!!!

[@DJBubbleBoy]

i like the fact they said no superheroes and included Buffy anyway.

[@Kaidus4ce]

+DJBubbleBoy Buffy's not a superheroine, she's a vampire slayer-- there IS a difference

[@Hedge_witch]

No... Buffy is a superhero. She is the definition of superhero: a benevolent fictional character with superhuman powers. That's Buffy. Batman however isn't. He has no superhuman powers. End of.

[@Kaidus4ce]

Katie Eff I'm afraid you're mistaken because she was imbused with enhanced abilities to put her on par with vampires which has been her primary opponent when she was (best guess) a high school freshman; she wasn't born with them.

[@Hedge_witch]

Kaidus4ce Spiderman wasn't born with his. Mutants in the X Men aren't born with theirs. Hulk wasn't. Captain Marvel wasn't... You don't have to be born with superpowers to be a superhero. That is the literal definition of a superhero according to the dictionary. It doesn't mention having to be born with them.

[@robrobb]

WTF??? Buffy at #5 is unacceptable!!! While I don't disagree with Xena @ #1 Buffy should have been at #2. Without Xena or Buffy we would have the rest of these women on this list!!!!

[@OkCare1786]

exactly! I mean, for me it's always Buffy at number 1 but I get it why they chose Xena. But Buffy should have been number 2, no question there

[@katastrophereckless3258]

I completely agree! I love everyone else on the list, but Buffy should have been 2

[@carolinelloyd2212]

I AGREE

[@denisesayer9225]

I was just getting ready to post the same thing!

[@Hedge_witch]

Scully was around before Buffy...

[@daraxiong19]

wtffffff!!!! Buffy is so number 2. how many times must she sacrifice herself to save the world from ending.

[@arielfangirlmendez]

Buffy is my favorite female kickass TV character

[@megwilton2014]

*cough* Spencer Hastings *cough*

[@justmyopinion1795]

erm clarke?...lexa? ?...octavia? from the 100 completely badasss characters or lagertha from vikings? I agree with most on this list but scully? I wouldnt really consider her a badass...shes just more intelligence than anything

[@anaferreira3103]

justmyopinion 1 Octavia should be at #1

[@futuresonex]

Buffy should've ranked higher. "She saved the world...a lot."

[@dydb3]

buffy only number 5?? boo

[@alexvoneiche]

Emma Swan? Regina Mills?

[@tanishajuneja7820]

YASSSSS

[@PomerLoop]

You mean Season 1 Emma Swan, right? Because the new Bella Swan is all but badass, she's a pathetic character waiting for her boyfriend's approval.

[@tanishajuneja7820]

+vanesa relds yes the season 1, Emma swan

[@ThePinkDragon]

yes!

[@PauBennet]

Yess Emma Swan (in all seasons)

[@nevermindmyname813]

Maggie Q's Nikita was amazing and kicked ass all day every day, while still being an incredibly conflicted and compassionate character. She should have at least been mentioned.

[@b4rr3nguyb4rr3nguy]

Nikita (Maggie Q) or Emily Thorne from Revenge?

[@agelianaioannidou2913]

barren haynes omg Emily yess

[@ICEtrey751]

Omg Nikita should have been on this list

[@meeyahfreeman3940]

Emily should have been on here

[@geneviever6178]

Where are Clarke, Lexa and Octavia from The 100!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@SailorSayuri]

So agree with you there! I know you can't put all of them on the list (since there's SO many kick ass female characters on TV) but Lexa deserved to be on that list SO much... :( Can't forget her kicking the Azgeda ambassador over the balcony in Polis... *smirks*

[@evieclarke5090]

What about raven

[@anaferreira3103]

Octavia deserved it so much

[@anniebunny722]

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? WHERE IS OLIVIA BENSON FROM LAW & ORDER: SVU?

[@alexisstankewtiz5869]

I was thinking the same thing. You can't get more Kickass then Olivia Benson? !

[@Tinkerbell30513]

+Alexis Stankewtiz not to mention the more than decade she's been on television

[@alexisstankewtiz5869]

yes, exactly! :)

[@nomulonley2710]

+Annie Burke agreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[@crazypris16]

+Annie Burke Totally agree

[@Alex-py7pn]

Buffy and Xena should always share the #1 spot in any competition!

[@123j109]

Sarah's manning from orphan black, is a total badass

[@thisiscoolforme]

Where is Max (Jessica Alba) from Dark Angel too?

[@babadoudidadouda]

Exactly ! Where is she ?!

[@TheTitanList]

my thoughts exactly! until I discovered BTVS, Dark Angel was my definition of a kickass female character. and was my #1 favourite show (again, till i discovered BTVS)

[@TheStephrules]

OMG Yes, where is she? She is so kickass and awesome

[@femkevandemaat7504]

Carol from twd

[@RhaegarTargaryen1st]

"...also we won't be including any superheroes so apologies to Jessica Jones fans..." "#5, Buffy Summers- Buffy the Vampire Slayer."

[@SelenaMulan]

Buffy Summers Xena Zoe (firefly) River Song Chloe Sullivan Felicity Smoak

[@SelenaMulan]

Michonne is #1

[@Sylvia-mc6pt]

*claps* most badass list of awesome characters EVER!

[@BrieannaKeogh]

+A Bourg YES!

[@MystiCalBEING89]

Felicity Smoak lol

[@agelianaioannidou2913]

A Bourg Felicity Smoak?? WHAT

[@selinacurti1238]

I feel like Nikita should have been on here...

[@Alofaaga1518]

Melinda May from Agents of Shield ??!

[@yarinhazan147]

Ophélie Ofakimoana Pelletier they said this list won't include any superheroes

[@thebaddoctor1614]

@@yarinhazan147 If Peggy Carter can be on the list, so can Melinda May

[@OkCare1786]

excuse me, I literally felt the urge to shoot myself when I saw that Buffy was only number 5. WTF? I'm sorry, but ain't nobody more kickass, badass and iconic than Buffy...well yeah, I guess Xena is so I'll give you a pass on that one even if I'm not a fan of Xena simply because I was never interested in that but I can admit that she's probably the most iconic badass out there. But Buffy is definitely second, strong in every possible way. I love Michonne but what about Carol? I feel like Carol's badassery is even better than Michonne's because Carol's evolution is just so beautiful. Also yeah, I feel like Alison Argent and Octavia Blake and Clarke Griffin should have been honorable mentions.

[@OkCare1786]

Well at least you included Veronica Mars on the list. My second favorite kickass after Buffy.

[@debralazarus1809]

Scarlet Witch yeah Buffy should be 2 but Xena I agree with she’s a badass is such a proud inspiration for the lgbtq and is a woman leader from all the guys that surrounded her

[@robynac2440]

these days the 100 has the most powerful woman on TV, the main 3 woman all kick ass, then you even have a guest star that everyone fell in love with because she was a huge bad ass. Lexa, Clarke, Octavia or even Raven should have easily been on this list.

[@christiana1748]

Every time I expect the 100 to make one of these mojo lists it never does, and it's really disappointing because at least one of those amazing women should be on here. I'm beginning to think this is more about popularity and less about making realistic lists.

[@robynac2440]

yeah i agree, fair enough a lot of the people on this list deserve to be here, but the 100 has one of the best casts in terms of female characters. lexa and octavia probably should have been on more than clarke as she doesn't really fight, she's more of the strategizer but she is still awesome.

[@staciecaffrey2073]

In what world is Buffy number 5 😱 Xena deserves number one but obviously Buffy should be number 2 🙈

[@TrainToAlaska]

yay I am glad they mentioned Kate Beckett

[@oxanatarashchuk4598]

Where?

[@TheGent2]

Ziva David? Melinda May?

[@ryleybridges98]

How is Sarah Walker from Chuck NOT on this list? She's a motherf'ing badass. So glad that Michonne and Peggy Carter are on the list though

[@supersqueak]

Buffy at number 5 is a joke. Also like WTF? Sarah isn't even the most badass on her show. They should have put Helena on here instead.

[@abriaangel9986]

Michonne all day everyday!

[@ninalauer1422]

What about Nikita? She is literally the defintion of kickass characters

[@tatianalightwood]

Peggy Carter should be in the top ten

[@annabuchanan7623]

This just isn't fair. Peggy is the most kick ass woman in the MCU....

[@juniejean98]

I KNOW RIGHT!

[@yarinhazan147]

Anna Buchanan they said they won't be including any superheroes

[@l.tc.5032]

@@annabuchanan7623 no that's Okoye.

I love Root and miss shaw from Person of interest

[@mauranebarragan7164]

Olivia Pope , Emma Swan ...

[@maddieponge317]

[@Huskaroo15]

NIKITA! !!

[@LadySash]

BUFFY FTW!!!! I LOVE Buffy so much!! she taught me so much and became a role model (apart from the sex but who cares XD)!! My top three would be: 1.Buffy Summers 2.Michonne 3.Daenerys Targaryen LOVE these three kiss-ass TV star girls!! I think there AMAZING!!

[@Kaneko2518]

What about Agent May or Daisy/Skye from Agents of Shield??

[@Kaneko2518]

+KanekoXLiamB okay not Daisy but Agent May definitely

[@sacyroberts5338]

where's Nikita?

[@nephilim6594]

Where's Melinda May from Agents of SHIELD? Or any other woman from this show? But seriously, May is one the most bad ass female tv character I've ever seen. She should've got at least an honorable mention

[@JohannaSarkar]

Bobbi is bad ass as well, but yes May absolutely deserves a spot!

[@yarinhazan147]

Sara they said they won't be including superheroes so....

[@abbybaxter91]

where's Lexa from the 100

[@GoldenRose116]

[@aspenrebel]

Xena's blonde side kick got bad ass in later seasons.

[@AntoLiporace]

Xena number one all the way, nobody in this list can beat her 💪

[@oliviadrambarean6059]

Scully should be higher on this list. Not only is she brilliant, but also kicks so much ass.

[@camicacace7563]

Olivia Drambarean 🙌🏼👏🏼

[@stipV]

Buffy should be number 1 wtf is this

[@CartoonTunes-yk4om]

Ziva should be in this. She's a badass. She's tough, she's willing to risk her life to save her colleagues, family and friends. She fought with a lot of men without getting hurt. Used two guns at the same time by shooting villains. Punched a man in the face before without being afraid. Threatened to rip a man's arm off by beating him up with the arm. Sticking a cigar up a man's testicles, after being called a bitch. Killed a man in the elevator, tried to beat up a strong man. Protected Tony in the elevator when the explosion was happening. Fought for her life to save Gibbs, and the team while having some issues with her life

[@Marjanne0031]

Emma OUAT

[@TheBenjiboy8]

You said no superheroes. Buffy has super powers....

[@Sylvia-mc6pt]

Ok so I am super surprised that Buffy wasn't at the top 3...

[@Sylvia-mc6pt]

lol I just looked through this whole comment section and there is A LOT of ladies lolol

[@amiedheloise]

She's just becoming a legend recently so I think she could be part of your "honorable mentions" : Lexa, the commander of the 12 clans in The100 series. :)

[@grimesgirl2699]

Yes, Michonne is the ultimate badass! Should have been No. 1!

[@victoriasmith1954]

Alex Parrish Allison Argent Lydia Martin Malia Hale/Tate Kira Yukimura Hanna Marin Mona Vanderwaal Isabelle Lightwood Octavia Blake Raven Reyes Clarke Griffin Lexa

[@j.potter5861]

Allison!!!!! :D

[@arantzariquelme1360]

Claire Fraser from 'Outlander' should've at least a honorable mention. She can travel in time, knows about medicine, politics, it's smart af, and tried to change the history of Scotland for God's sake.

[@zoe1dogs]

Faith from Buffy the Vampire Slayer

[@lulcm2712]

Where is Lexa from The Hundred?

[@AgeCobra]

You forgot Nikita (Maggie Q.).It would be nice to have top ten side kicks eg Gabrielle(Xena) and Alexandra Udinov(Nikita).I agree with No 1.

[@franpacella2815]

Arya Stark, Katherine Pierce, Rebekkah Mikaelson, Emma Duval,Emma Swan, Emily Thorne, CeCe Drake,Allison Argent, Hayley Marshal, Kira Yukimura, Clarke Grifin, Davina Claire etc..

[@beardedcasual5120]

seriously? who was it that thought Buffy in ANY position outside of #1, was a good idea? she IS the definition of Badass female character. all others fall far short. though Skye - Agents of SHIELD and Max - Dark Angel give her a run for her money!

[@alexcharilaou9359]

River Song...

[@TheTitanList]

not to mention Clara.

[@TheTitanList]

Chilly Soda not so sure about that one! but, we all love River slightly differently ;)

[@haverickmandla251]

Carol is more bad ass than Michonne

[@ltmirro]

I'm probably in minority but i think Michonne is better but Carol is a bad ass too ( sorry for my english)

[@thenameisizzi20]

Erm, where is Viola Davis as Annalise Keating?

[@SofiaMBurdiles]

Honestly, what the actual fuck. HEDA LEXA!!!

[@Corgettes]

Veronica Mars

[@SuperLadyDanger]

Came for Xena, but wanted to also find Maggie Q's Nikita, Emily Thorne from Revenge, and Ziva David from NCIS... Guess getting one of four is the best I can expect.

[@camicacace7563]

DANA SCULLY IS #9? WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? MOST BADASS FEMALE CHARACTER EVER PERIOD

[@Maria-it5xs]

where is Katherine Pierce? Not even an honorable mention wtf!?

[@blancarosales3400]

seriously Kate Beckett an honorable mention WTF shes awesome and a real kick ass woman along with Buffy they should be in the top

[@butterflyinflight85]

Love number 5 and 7! Altho Beckett should have actually made the list!

[@OkCare1786]

yess, Buffy and Veronica are probably my favorites on the list. Michonne too. But Buffy should have been number 2. She's number 1 in my heart tho.

[@nycoleteall8536]

My favorite kickass females 1. Kick from gone she is a badass in so many ways who helps others little girls from something she went through. 2. Misty from fbi she is such a cool girl all the way around. 3. Jules from sweet/vicious she did not just go to school but also hurt people who hurt others because of who hurt her. 4. Stacy Galbraith from unbelievable.

[@reyskywaka3202]

Xena at #1! She deserves it!!!!

[@marthabixler1606]

Captain Janeway got an honorable mention but 7 of 9 and Torres could kick ass

[@joshuadesautels]

I've never understood why Voyager gets so much hate.

[@ArtGeek2817]

I absolutely love Buffy she is my #1 but you break your own rule. She is the equivalent of a superhero. She has superhuman abilities like strength . the girl can lift a steel construction beam like it a paperweight.

[@corribobo]

Lexa deserved to be on here (and better).

[@luislarios13]

I was very pleasantly surprised that they included Sarah Manning (although they could have added Alison in there too), since they always leave out the actual bests haha

[@angeleyes_1412]

Dana fucking Scully is #9?! How can I take this serious?! She was bad ass.. took on men, monsters, religion and sickness.. all the while creating the Scully Effect! She deserved to end up so much higher.

[@omargod5977]

Jessica Jones has super strength and some speed. Buffy has the soul of a demon that gives her super strength, prophetic dreams, and a few other things... different?

[@openscholar9908]

I love to watch a show based around a female character. My favorites are: Buffy, Vanessa Van Helsing, the girls of The Secret Circle, girl that stared on Haven(Audrey parker) and the Dome. I also loved Skully.

[@lahismuller]

Not even one of the Olivias? Olivia Dunham (Fringe), Olivia Benson (Law and Order: SVU) or Olivia Pope (Scandal)? I liked the list, but they deserved at least a honorable mention.

[@rachaelfreeman613]

The original Nikita from the French film should have been on this list she proper kicked ass and was beutiful whilst doing so
