superheroine
Female costumed champion
A superheroine is a female superhero—a fictional character with extraordinary powers who fights evil or protects the innocent.
The term parallels heroine as the feminine form of hero, though many now prefer the gender-neutral superhero for all characters: Wonder Woman was one of the first superheroines in comic books.
