15 Female Action Heroes Who Can Kick Some Serious Ass

This weekend, Scarlett Johansson will slip out of her skin-tight Black Widow catsuit and into some more agreeable, casual fabrics for Lucy, but one thing that definitely won't be changing in the actress' new role is her ability to kick serious ass - and look damn good doing it. So, in honor of Johansson and of Lucy as a whole, the writing staff here at We Got This Covered has taken on the thrilling task of looking back through movie history to uncover the most physically adept, bruisingly smart and just plain badass women of cinema. We're not saying it was an easy task - in fact, we had so many viable candidates for this list that we eventually decided to expand it from ten to fifteen entries. And some of our staff put forward entries both exciting and unconventional - get ready for some surprises.

6) Hit-Girl – Kick-Ass

Chloe Moretz’s Hit-Girl kicks more ass than anyone else in the twisted superhero flick Kick-Ass – and she’s only 11 years old. Though we have her traumatic upbringing at the hands of former cop Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage) to thank for a lot of her skills, there’s no denying that Hit-Girl does just fine on her own, dispatching an entire warehouse of thugs in hopes of rescuing Kick-Ass and Big Daddy from a fiery death. Throughout the first movie, she’s a pint-sized lethal weapon – not to mention one with a shockingly foul mouth and an empowering sense of self. Just hand her double-bladed katanas, a handgun or, hell, even floss or something, and she’ll turn it into a deadly tool of mass destruction.

Then, in Kick-Ass 2, as her alter ego Mindy McCready enters high school, she gets even more badass, taking down mean girl cliques with her stellar dress sense (and a crowd-control shock baton), duelling henchmen with AK-47s on top of a moving van and then single-handedly besting the ruthless and highly trained Mother Russia, finishing her off with an onslaught of glass shards. Oh, and then she rides off into the night on her motorcycle after stealing Kick-Ass’s heart. I don’t think anyone can argue that Hit-Girl is not one of the most funniest, coolest and most plainly badass femme fatales in recent memory.
