who's the second most iconic female superhero comic book character?

I would have said Batgirl.

I would have said Batgirl.

Which would explain why DC rewound and erased the last two.

Mmhmm, still bitter.

So, Storm's not? Counting or not counting the X-Men movies?

Storm was terrible in the movies, so...no. I don't know that any individual X-Men are really mainstream iconic besides Wolverine. You might get Professor X and Magneto because of the movies, though.

But Batgirl is probably the best choice.

My friend J is an entertainment reporter specializing in sic-fi/fantasy and said that, unfortunately, KS is one of the most unpleasant people she has ever met (and she’s interviewed her a few times). It’s really too bad.

Does Xena count? i think she qualifies as a superhero - if Batman does, then she does. Plus if you insist on a super-power even though it is never said explicitly she seems to have time travel.

No, I am referring to the comic genre.

I would put Catwoman at #2 and pretty much anyone that I would quickly recognize in cosplay (including but not limited to Jean Grey (hm, would i recognize her? Maybe not, but I can come up with her name when trying to list female superhero comic characters), Storm, Rogue, Batgirl, Supergirl, Mystique) in contention for #3. I don't know how to differentiate within that group in a meaningful way.

I think Batgirl would be #2. #3 might be a toss-up between Supergirl and the Invisible Woman.

I'm sorta sad that KS is as insufferable as she seems. What a waste of fame.

I have a hair cut and a rad blow out. I'm feeling all cute even though I'm still wearing my exercise clothes and no make up.

Lois Lane is pretty much as high profile as many of the women, isn't she?

My sister keeps emailing me requests for research. This is because of the wifi thing, I bet. But I'm looking up whether Churchill quoted Claude McKay without giving credit (unsubstantiated, but oft repeated). In response she sent me a video of Maroons dancing.

And if you have a witty comment, save it. The Maroons were escaped slaves--nowhere to go but up in jamaica, and they took to the hills, and hid and waged such effective guerilla warfare that when the island was changing hands, the British colonials used them to help fight the outgoing Spaniards. They got out soon enough that they didn't lose as much culture, and still live in a couple communities outside the city. She tells me a group of Maroons from Jamaica met some Surinames Maroons, and they had language in common.

Sounds like a good time for an anthropologist. Field day.

I had someone explain to me that the lilt of the Jamaican accent was from the Irish, and they represented the large portion of the white people there. Except when I got taught it, and I look in the newspapers, it's the Scots. Kinda weird.

I know not everything you learn in school is right, but there's a certain assumption in Ja that it's a Scottish thing. And the names that go back, Scottish. Definitely Irish and Welsh people moving there, but the whole tam thing, and the tartan and the like.
