8	----
9	!!Franchise/TheDCU
10	* ''ComicBook/{{Aquaman}}'': The titular hero's wife, Mera, to the point where she was briefly inducted into the Red Lantern Corps during the ''ComicBook/BlackestNight'' crossover. In the post-Rebirth continuity, she took on the entire Justice League while in UnstoppableRage mode and gave them a serious run for their money.
11	* ''ComicBook/{{Batgirl}}'': Barbara "Babs" Gordon in the current continuity (originally, she was a brunette; ComicBook/{{Batgirl}}'s red hair was a wig attached to the cowl). In ''ComicBook/ElseworldsFinestSupergirlAndBatgirl'', she is temperamental, passionate and headstrong to the point of rudeness.
12	* ''ComicBook/TheFlash'': Wally West is very impulsive, and his terrible temper is a consistent flaw of him even after the CharacterDevelopment. This contrasts him with his -usually- cautious mentor Barry Allen.
13	-->'''Wally:''' Superman has Kryptonite, Martian Manhunter has fire...I have a temper.
14	%% * ''ComicBook/Gen13'': Dr. Caitlin Fairchild, aka "Red".
15	* ''ComicBook/GreenLantern'': Guy Gardner. Described by as "Loud, and angry, and obnoxious, and ginger!"
16	* ''ComicBook/HuntersHellcats'': The redheaded Heller is famous for her fiery temper. Her need for vengeance drove her to join the [=WACs=] in an attempt to find the man who killed her father, despite the fact that he could be anywhere in the US theatre of operation, and her explosive temper landed her in the guardhouse for assaulting a superior officer, which is where Ben Hunter recruited her for the Hellcats.
17	* Erin [=McKillen=], Irish mobster who scarred Harvey Dent in the ''ComicBook/New52''. Would also qualify as an EvilRedhead.
18	* ''ComicBook/Robin1993'': Callie Evans may be a natural brunette but she dyes her hair a reddish orange and is outgoing, outspoken and passionate.
19	* ComicBook/{{Starfire}} is fierce in combat, and not only is she a redhead, but also her hairstyle makes it look like flames, which causes a literal version of the trope. DependingOnTheArtist, she sometimes has literal FlamingHair (it starts out normal and ends in flames).
20	* In ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'' story ''ComicBook/SupergirlCosmicAdventuresInThe8thGrade'', Lena Luthor is a very volatile redhead with a hair-trigger temper.
21	* ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'':
22	** ComicBook/LanaLang is a pretty temperamental redhead. In ''ComicBook/{{Bizarrogirl}}'' she doesn't hesitate to tell ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} off when the Girl of Steel is wallowing in depression.
23	** Maxima, who is definitely not a hero, but a spitfire. She is redheaded royal with superpowers and a crush on Superman (or ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} in ''ComicBook/Supergirl2011: ComicBook/{{Crucible}}'').
24	** One of the franchise's other redheads, [[Characters/SupermanJimmyOlsen Jimmy Olsen]], is an inversion, being an adventurous UnluckilyLucky NiceGuy. That said, BewareTheNiceOnes sometimes applies to him as much as it does to Superman.
25	* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman'':
26	** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1942'': In the Golden Age of Comics ComicBook/EttaCandy was a redheaded prankster tomboy who loved fights, boys and candy and led a group of gals to fight Nazis at every opportunity.
27	** From ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'' on ComicBook/{{Artemis}} of the Bana-Mighdall qualifies as a redheaded Amazon who often serves as a more violent, less compassionate but far more impassioned foil to Diana.
28
29	!!Franchise/MarvelUniverse
30	* ''ComicBook/TheMightyThor'': ComicBook/{{Angela\|AsgardsAssassin}} is a redheaded Asgardian warrior and as fiery and boisterous as most other Asgardians.
31	* ''ComicBook/BlackWidow'': Natasha Romanov started out with black hair and was only "[[RetCon revealed]]" as actually a redhead in her ASM #86 makeover. Did not become appreciably fierier after the change.
32	%%* Dum-Dum Dugan. Irish-American.
33	%%* ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'': Frankie Raye, who went on to become a [[FlamingHair Literally Fiery]] Redhead.
34	%%* ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy: Nikki, as [[FlamingHair literally]] as Frankie Raye above.
35	* ''ComicBook/IronFist'': In ''ComicBook/ImmortalIronFist'', there's Fongji, a rare [[TheShangriLa K'un-L'un]] native with red hair (her mother was a native, but her father was from outside the city). While outwardly very stoic, when she does get angry, there tends to be actual fire. Again - Phoenix Host.
36	%%* Medusa of ''ComicBook/TheInhumans''.
37	%%* From ''ComicBook/IronMan'', Bethany Cabe.
38	* ComicBook/PatsyWalker, Hellcat, formerly married to matching FieryRedhead Daimon "Son of Satan/Hellstorm" Hellstrom.
39	* Marine Sergeant Rachel Cole-Alves from ''ComicBook/ThePunisher''. Took on the Punisher in a fist fight, it doesn't get more fiery than that.
40	* The ComicBook/RawhideKid is a redheaded gunslinger whose hot temper sometimes lands him in trouble.
41	* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': Mary Jane Watson. Current page image, and right from her very first appearance she stood out from the rest of the supporting cast due to her lively personality.
42	-->'''[[CharacterCatchphrase Face it, tiger -- you just hit the jackpot]]!'''
43	* Pash Davane in ''ComicBook/StarWarsMarvel2015'' was a red-headed, HotBlooded AmazonianBeauty who got the nickname "Bash" after beating someone with a rock.
44	* ''ComicBook/XMen'':
45	** ComicBook/JeanGrey and her temporally displaced/alternate timeline daughter, ComicBook/RachelSummers, who not only fit the personality trope, but also happen to manifest their powers in the form of giant birds made of fire. However, Jean often subverts the trope, especially [[CharacterisationMarchesOn in her pre-Phoenix days]], when she was one of the most level-headed Marvel superheroines with a personality very reminiscent of the Fantastic Four's team mommy Sue Storm Richards. Rachel on the other hand has always been fiery, before during and after her own Phoenix days. Oddly enough, though, she never showed any real sign of going Dark Phoenix like her mother, despite having every reason to do so.
46	** Rahne Sinclair of The ComicBook/NewMutants (Excalibur, X-Force, X-Factor, New X-Men...) is at once shy, passionate, religious, conflicted, and a redhead. Her fiery personality is hidden under piety most of the time.
47	%% ** Irish beauty Theresa Rourke Cassidy a.k.a. Siryn (X-Force, X-Factor). You don't want her screaming at you.
48

54	%%* Sophie Otterloop from ''ComicStrip/CulDeSac''..
55	* ''ComicBook/ElfQuest'':
56	** Redlance is an inversion because he's usually very quiet and shy. Although not when it comes to sex, according to the novelization.
57	** Ember, a dark-skinned redhead with a hot temper, though she's usually in control.
58	* ComicBook/EmilkaSza - one of main character Maya is red hair girl who is very prone to anger outburst.

61	%%* Chili Storm, the friendly nemesis of ''ComicBook/MillieTheModel''.
