Not sure about best superhero, but I've always had a personal favourite female comic book character.
Love her.
It's Catwoman, if anybody's wondering.

For me, Wonder Woman without a doubt. It took me a while to warm up to her because of her stupid old costume but once you get past that, she's simply the most emblematic female superhero and the one with the best comic runs: Rucka, Jimenez, Byrne, Pérez, Azzarello, Simone, etc. And her book is pretty dope at the moment.
Runners-up:
Oracle: Batman's best ally, should be the leader of the Justice League
Batgirl (Cassandra Cain only): greatest martial artist in the DCU
And for Marvel... Storm, Kitty Pryde and Elektra.
I don't know all that much about Kamala but I don't love her powers.

You all have great taste.
Yes.
Storm is what immediately pops to mind for me when I think of female superhero. She's the most iconic for me. It helps that she had really prominent roles in all of the Xmen games I've played over the years and as a child.
And Yes.
Also:
Vixen:
Monica Rambeau:
Moon Girl:
America Chavez:
Weird how no one has mentioned the real best ever female superhero
She isn't even in the top 10 marvel characters with Marvel in their name. Hell she is barely in the top 3 female Captain Marvels.

Power Girl is my favorite but Wonder Woman is probably the best. I really enjoy the comics I've read and there's a lot of good comics with her.
Marvel's best female superhero is She-Hulk. I do like Kate Bishop a lot though.
And not Marvel or DC but I love Liz Sherman from Hellboy/BPRD.

Its kinda weird that when i think of the best super-heroes(male or female), it usually take some time before i remember that individual X-Men are well-developed heroes on their own. The majority of Marvel's best female super-heroes can be found within the X-Teams. Probably because the term "hero" wasnt used much in the books.
As for best female super heroes:
1. Moonstone(Karla Sofen)
2. Storm
3. She-Hulk

I've gotta go with Magick from X-Men/ New Mutants:
Also, shout outs to Saturn Girl, Snowbird & Vindicator (Heather Hudson) from Alpha Flight.
Are you guys lost? You must be looking for the most universally hated superhero thread.

I also agree with this pick!:
America Chavez:
If you still like Carol after what the writers did to her in Civil War 2, then...actually the writers have been fucking her over for decades now. Hoping the movie does her some real justice.
I also like Shulkie. A strong, confident woman who doesn't shy away from intimidating guys with her power.

Zatanna. I love the magical side the most and Zatanna is the best female superhero there
Cassanda is good, but she's no punch meteors falling from the sky good, so as far as greatest DCU martial artist go she will have to setttle for 2nd place, because nobody touches Karate Kid there
If we're talking borderline superheroes, the Invisibles women (Robin, Fanny, Boy)
In the more traditional ones I was always partial to X-Women so they'd be Rachel, Kitty, Storm, and Emma.
Outside of that, Jenny Sparks.
Had to pick one? Rachel. She always resonated with me. Who else could rock that hair or the face tattoos?

Amen. She's just got such a neat take on the whole concept of even being a superhero - where it's more like a side hobby to her actual profession, which just happens to be built around her powers - and her inclusion often allows for a story to get fun. Kind of a shame that she's mostly treated as a supporting character, because she's got easy room for stories that aren't locked to the conventions of the genre. Plus her powers are the kind of thing where they're conveniently omnipotent when need be, and easy to justify when they're not. Versatile storytelling device.
Also one of the few cases in comics where the costume is kinda justified.
They said female Captain Marvels. Though, that would make for a mildly novel twist...

He's just using techniques that were created and perfected during the millenium that preceded his birth. Give her a year or two of training in the 31st century and she'd surpass him!

More people should read Valiant comics after all

Zatanna Zatara

She so much fun and kind. One of the few women in dc that can maintain niceties with constantine too. ALso love Canary, wonder woman, and oracle and stephanie. I put steph over cass because I had a lot more fun with steph. Special shout out to supergirl. Marvel side its really just Emma Frost and Magick
Squirrel Girl!
I should read more about her. From the first volume of the current Batman Detective's Comics, she is pretty cool. Stephanie Brown seems great also. Also oh yeah, Batwoman, can't forget about her!

Storm, but especially when she was sporting the mohawk and having that no nonsense approach, too good.

Gotta go with the OG: Wonder Woman.
Upon further reflection I forgot to mention Squirrel Girl and I'm ashamed

Probably Storm for me. The X-Men comics had a bunch of good female superheroes.

Okay guys.
Name how she is the best female super hero.
Just list down Carol Captain Marvels awesome antics that would put her in the league of She-Hulk(now just Hulk)
On Topic
She-Hulk has to be top tier mainstream super hero.
But for the love of god will her new book please pick up the pace.
Ive been picking it up every release and it still feels like im still reading an issue #0 of the new HULK book.
Wonder Woman
Even with all these reboots im still digging the WW.
No bias i promise.
