1. Barbara Gordon: Batgirl/ Oracle- DC Comics #359, 1967

There are no mutant powers at work here!

Barbara Gordon is hands-down the most badass redhead superhero of them all taking on the aliases of Batgirl and Oracle. Barbara’s obsession with Batman led her to martial arts training, becoming proficient in dragon style kung fu, judo, stick fighting, as well as, boxing. She is also fantastic investigator; being trained by batman himself, has an eidetic memory, and is VERY stealthy!

In addition to her physical capabilities, Barbara also has a genius-level intellect she regularly uses as Oracle with her expert computer hacking skills, hacking into even the most high-tech security systems. She is not only the most computer literate member of the Bat-family but also the most skilled worldwide, and has come to the aid of many superheroes.

Finally unlike the rest of the women on this list, as well as, most superheroes in general Barbara overcame what could have been a devastating blow to her crime fighting days after she was shot by the Joker and paralyzed. After only a brief bit of depression Barbara shot back into the crime fighting scene like a bullet, as Oracle, the computer genius, becoming a great asset to the superhero world.
