Gender-Equal Ensemble: Four women (Anthem, Codebreaker, Memory, and Arrow Shade), four men (Vodnik, Cambion, Particle, Overclock). Unless one doesn't count Overclock as male, being a robot, then it's unequal in rare instance of the women outnumbering the men.

Anthem

Harriet E. Ross / Anthem

Action Girl: Definitely. She's the successor to American Star, considered the greatest hero of the setting, and is the leader of the Paragons, the premier superhero team.
Captain Patriotic: Has an American theme, though her codename "Anthem" isn't as overt about it as others.
Flying Brick: She can fly, has super strength, energy blasts, and durability.
The Leader: She's the leader of the Paragons.
Passing the Torch: The successor to the most famous and deceased hero in the setting, American Star.

This, despite the fact that magic has long since confirmed to exist in the world of Titans, among other equally non-human aspects of the world that are common knowledge. Not to mention that she just so happened to have learned that from a Wolf Man who is her boss, and promptly lamphades it.
