The 8 Best Female Characters In The Marvel Cinematic Universe

The Marvel Cinematic Universe, across the 13 movies and four TV shows released so far, has built up a wide array of heroes, anti-heroes and villains. It has to be said, though, that a disproportionate amount of them are men.

It’s very clear by now that Marvel’s TV division treats its female characters a lot better than the movies. While the big screen is fairly low on strong, capable women, their shows are full of them.

Take Adrienne Palicki’s Bobbi Morse, for example. When she arrived in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s second season, the character was a breath of fresh air and a welcome new addition to the team. She’s probably just as a formidable in the field as the movies’ Black Widow, and her being forced to work with her ex-husband Lance Hunter was a lot of fun to watch.

She could have had her own spinoff, too, if ABC had decided to pick up Marvel’s Most Wanted for a full season. If that isn’t on the cards anymore, we hope that Bobbi will be re-introduced into S.H.I.E.L.D. pretty shortly.
