History ActionGirl / ComicBooks

* Chel and Rei of the fistfighting gang The No Names in ''ComicBook/TwentyFists''.

* ComicBook/{{Agent 327}}: Olga Lawina, who is a female spy.
* Machiko Noguchi from the ''Franchise/AlienVsPredator'' franchise. The only '''human''' (much less female) to not only be accepted into the ranks of the Predators, but also ''thrive'' among them as a peer.
* Being set in a world of superheroes, many of the female supers of ''ComicBook/AstroCity'' fall into this trope.

* Panda Delgado from ''ComicBook/BodyBags.'' She's a petite 14-and-a-half-year-old with a deadeye aim who works as a professional bounty hunter.
* Gran'ma Ben of ''ComicBook/{{Bone}}'' is a great example of when this type of character grows up to be a CoolOldLady, and retains all of her ass-kicking powers.
* ''ComicBook/{{Bunty}}'' had Marie Bonnet of "Catch the Cat". She was a young girl who posed as a costumed person known as “the Cat" in order to resist the German occupation.
%%* ''ComicBook/{{Chassis}}''

%%* ''ComicBook/DangerGirl''.

* Just about every female character from the ''Webcomic/{{Dreamkeepers}}'' 'verse qualifies for this trope in some way.

* Ivy Raven, operative of the NSB, is the go-to agent whenever something needs to be tracked down, hushed up, or gotten rid of in the ''ComicBook/{{Echo}}'' universe. Unless your yourself have access to a high-tech combat suit built of {{unobtainium}}, you should stay out of her way.
* Scarlett in the ''ComicBook/GIJoe'' comics, followed closely by Lady Jaye and even Cover Girl.
* Martha Washington, from ''ComicBook/GiveMeLiberty''
* IDW's ''Godzilla'' comics have Mothra, who has all her ActionGirl credentials from the films. It's especially notable in ''ComicBook/GodzillaRulersOfEarth'' when she and her two larvae aid Godzilla in taking down ''[[HeroKiller Destoroyah]]''.
* Chakaal from ''ComicBook/GrooTheWanderer''.

* Cassie Hack of ''ComicBook/HackSlash''.
* ''ComicBook/HalloweenMan'' has Lucy Chaplin, the titular hero's love interest, but also a non-costumed BadAssNormal superhero in her own right; she's a voluptuous, bespectacled and brilliant "weird scientist" who is also a crack shot and a well-trained martial artist. Lucy recently underwent a transformation into a mid-sized BBW at the hands of an rival (from "weird science university") Olympia Moreau. This has only made her a bigger (no pun intended) ActionGirl, as Miss Chaplin gained aggression, height and considerable muscle mass to go along with her new, amply curvy flab (see StoutStrength). The latest adventure saw Lucy emphasizing her brawn and compensating for the reduction in agility with a mini jet-pack and a multi-ray gun.
* Comic ''HardGraft'' features all round actiongirl (and madwoman) Bernadette Montez.* The version of Rapunzel from ''[[ComicBook/RapunzelsRevenge Rapunzel's Revenge]]''.

* ComicBook/{{Incandescence}} has been fighting people bigger than her since she was six.

* ''ComicBook/LadyMechanika'', SteamPunk action girl!
* ''ComicBook/LastManStanding'''s girls are are this, and then there's [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg Bonnie]], who's basically a FemBot maid.
* Adamâ in ''ComicBook/{{Megalex}}''. She's beautiful and deadly, able to wield a gun quite well and also use a blowgun to kill armored robots by hitting their weak spot.
* ComicStrip/ModestyBlaise, whom Jennifer K. Stuller (author of ''Ink-Stained Amazons and Cinematic Warriors: Superwomen in Modern Mythology) called "The most complex, sophisticated, skilled and intelligent of all action heroines".
* The titular ''ComicBook/MollyDanger'', a superheroine who's been protecting the town of Coopersville, New York for 20 years.
* Franchise/MonsterVerse: In the ''Film/KongSkullIsland'' direct sequel ''Skull Island: The Birth of Kong'', [[Characters/MonsterVerseSkullIslandExpedition Helen Karsten]] is supposed to be one InUniverse, but it doesn't amount to anything when she has her first (and last) creature encounter after arriving on Skull Island. The later graphic novel ''Kingdom Kong'' features multiple female {{Ace Pilot}}s.
* ComicStrip/{{Nero}}: Madam Pheip and Madam Nero, who will defend their husbands and children whenever the chance is there.
* Elena Kurakin, a half-Mongolian swordswoman and Rudinshtein Irregular who killed her commanding officer for cowardice in ''ComicBook/NikolaiDante''.
* ''ComicBook/NthManTheUltimateNinja'' has Colonel Vavara Novikova, head of the KGB's Spetsburo (Assassination Bureau) and the second-deadliest assassin on Earth.
* In Creator/SteveGerber's ''ComicBook/OmegaTheUnknown'', one of the protagonist's surrogate parents fits this bill, being a savvy New Yorker living in Hell's Kitchen who makes money by following supers around and taking pictures of their battles for JJ Jameson, who she then argues with about compensation.
* In ''ComicBook/OzCaliber'', General Jinjur (originally from ''Literature/TheMarvelousLandOfOz'') is one of the leaders of the Freedom Fighters of Oz and very much a FrontlineGeneral.
* ''ComicBook/PainkillerJane'' is a female version of the Punisher. In fact she even slept with him in a crossover. Her friends the 22 Brides are all experts in guns and killing things as well.
* ''ComicBook/PaperinikNewAdventures'' has [[WorldOfActionGirls plenty]]: Xadhoom, a PhysicalGod and a PersonOfMassDestruction; Lyla Lay, a RobotGirl from the future with the job to preserve the timeline; Mary Ann Flaggstar, who basically acts as TheCommissionerGordon and has decked men far bigger than her; Tempest Gale, who is a Navy SEAL-expy and can still give a SuperSoldier a run for his money; and Birgit Q (also known as [[BadassBookworm ''Doctor Q'']]) that led her own SWAT team.
* ''ComicBook/PhantomLady'' was at it before Wonder Woman, and did it without any actual superpowers, just a right hook.

* Tulip O'Hare of ''ComicBook/{{Preacher}}''. She hates guns, except when they're shooting.
* Princess Adrienne from ''ComicBook/{{Princeless}}''.

* In ''ComicBook/StrangersInParadise'', anyone who's ever worked for Darcy Parker.

* ComicBook/SuskeEnWiske: Tante Sidonia can be inventive in tricking and fighting off her opponents too.
* Midnight from the [[ComicBook/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesMirage Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]] story arc "[=BodyCount=]" is a great example of a BadassNormal action girl; she is one of the best fighters in the story, able to beat a 300 pound giant of a man in unarmed combat and is pretty useful with guns and swords.
