supervillainess
Female arch-criminal mastermind
A supervillainess is a female supervillain—a woman with extraordinary powers or abilities who uses them for evil, typically in comic books, movies, or other fictional narratives: Catwoman began as a supervillainess before becoming more of an antihero.
The term parallels superhero/superheroine, though villainess itself sounds increasingly dated.
