6. Pepper Potts: Marvel Comics, Tales of Suspense #45, 1963

Never underestimate the Executive Assistant!

Pepper Potts is not your normal superhero; she starts her career as secretary at Stark Industries which eventually leads her to saving Starks ares after she corrects an accounting error that could have been the end of his reign. Thus beginning the trusting relationship between Tony Stark and Pepper Potts. Pepper was also part of the government sanctioned superhero team called The Order and assumes the name Hera. In this role she uses advanced computer hardware and prosthetics to monitor The Order’s missions.

As a result of her professional relationship to Stark, Pepper gets caught in a terrorist explosion resulting in internal injuries, including shrapnel wounds. These injuries force Tony to act fast. In an effort to save her life he embeds a strong magnet in her chest turning her into a cyborg to stay alive.

As a result of her new cyborg status Pepper gains new abilities including; improved hearing, ability to sense electromagnetic fields and using them to levitate her body. In this role she also operates Rescue, a Stark-tech armor flight suit allowing her to save Iron Mans butt.

For these reasons Pepper totally deserves the #6 spot on this list of awesome redheads.
