Women in combat

[Neil]

She-Hulk has significantly more muscle mass than the Invisible Woman, for example.

I'd think Wonder Woman would have them both beat, however.

She-Hulk is significantly larger than Wonder Woman, and is strong on a similar scale.  Even within the DC Universe, Power Girl is larger and as strong or stronger than Wonder Woman.

Sorry, but she's not much bigger than Wonder Woman, imo. At least compared to the more recent Wonder Woman comics.

She's certainly larger.

And really... Power Girl? 




Compared to this??



No contest. Wonder Woman, hands down.

Beeb, do you mean Canadian women are serving as grunts in infantry squads?

Yes.

You have any cites on this?  Neither of your links stated this to be true.  Artillery, yes (and that is further than the US goes) but nothing about infantry. I'd be interested to know just how many Canadian infantrymen are female.

First time I've seen camel toe on a super hero.

From one of my links (the CBC one)

About two per cent of Canadian regular force combat troops are women

and of course

Canada is considered a progressive nation with respect to its policy of equal access and full gender integration in its Armed Forces.

not to mention

The Canadian Armed Forces opened all occupations, including combat roles, to women in 1989. Only submarines were excluded and they followed in 2000.

Of course I would dare to say that there are NO female infantrymen.

It's stated in the article that I posted, as well. Canada is cited as the most forward-thinking country as it regards women in the military.

She's significantly larger than Wonder Woman.  For one thing, she's quite a bit taller.

[merithyn]

She certainly is in that pic.

You win; She-Hulk has more muscle mass than Wonder Woman. But Wonder Woman still kicks ass.

Depends on the artist.  Kara is usually been depicted as having more of a bodybuilder's physique than Wonder Woman.  Of course, certain artists draw her with a stock body but an extra large rack.

[merithyn]

Her action figure is much cooler than the drawn pics I've found. I know nothing of her story, though.

Kara?  She's an alternate version of Supergirl.  However, her continuity has changed so many times over her 40-year lifespan that she's had at least half-a-dozen different powersets and origins.  She seems to have settled down into alternate-universe Kryptonian over the last few years though.

Personally, I've always liked Kara.  She was part of the good-old-days of the Justice League.

Here Meri, here's some heroines for you.

I'd type NSFW, but it's me...so I don't have to, now do I?
