No... Buffy is a superhero. She is the definition of superhero: a benevolent fictional character with superhuman powers. That's Buffy. Batman however isn't. He has no superhuman powers. End of.
Katie Eff I'm afraid you're mistaken because she was imbused with enhanced abilities to put her on par with vampires which has been her primary opponent when she was (best guess) a high school freshman; she wasn't born with them.
Kaidus4ce Spiderman wasn't born with his. Mutants in the X Men aren't born with theirs. Hulk wasn't. Captain Marvel wasn't... You don't have to be born with superpowers to be a superhero. That is the literal definition of a superhero according to the dictionary. It doesn't mention having to be born with them.
WTF??? Buffy at #5 is unacceptable!!! While I don't disagree with Xena @ #1 Buffy should have been at #2. Without Xena or Buffy we would have the rest of these women on this list!!!!
Not once have I ever seen Ziva David in one of your top 10's. Ziva is/was an amazingly strong character who dedicated her life to putting away criminals, while breaking herself at the same time yet still managing to keep it together. Being held captive for 3 months in the desert by a terrorist cell, being in not one, not 2, but possibly 4 explosions, one of them possibly ending her life, raising a child on her own because she was too scared to let the man she loved be in her life, losing her sister and mother, being ordered to kill her own brother by her father, finding her father dead, fighting to avenge her father's death, while also being a full time federal field agent. All of that and she still managed to keep her head up and smile and she STILL doesn't get recognition, neither does the actress that plays Ziva.
erm clarke?...lexa? ?...octavia? from the 100 completely badasss characters or lagertha from vikings? I agree with most on this list but scully? I wouldnt really consider her a badass...shes just more intelligence than anything
Maggie Q's Nikita was amazing and kicked ass all day every day, while still being an incredibly conflicted and compassionate character. She should have at least been mentioned.
So agree with you there! I know you can't put all of them on the list (since there's SO many kick ass female characters on TV) but Lexa deserved to be on that list SO much... :( Can't forget her kicking the Azgeda ambassador over the balcony in Polis... *smirks*
I would say Buffy should be number one but she was on another list they just did that was similar to this so whatever. I also love Peggy Carter, I really hope that show gets renewed for a third season but right now I'm not holding my breath.
these days the 100 has the most powerful woman on TV, the main 3 woman all kick ass, then you even have a guest star that everyone fell in love with because she was a huge bad ass. Lexa, Clarke, Octavia or even Raven should have easily been on this list.
Every time I expect the 100 to make one of these mojo lists it never does, and it's really disappointing because at least one of those amazing women should be on here. I'm beginning to think this is more about popularity and less about making realistic lists.
yeah i agree, fair enough a lot of the people on this list deserve to be here, but the 100 has one of the best casts in terms of female characters. lexa and octavia probably should have been on more than clarke as she doesn't really fight, she's more of the strategizer but she is still awesome.
my thoughts exactly! until I discovered BTVS, Dark Angel was my definition of a kickass female character. and was my #1 favourite show (again, till i discovered BTVS)
BUFFY FTW!!!! I LOVE Buffy so much!! she taught me so much and became a role model (apart from the sex but who cares XD)!! My top three would be: 1.Buffy Summers 2.Michonne 3.Daenerys Targaryen LOVE these three kiss-ass TV star girls!! I think there AMAZING!!
Where's Melinda May from Agents of SHIELD? Or any other woman from this show? But seriously, May is one the most bad ass female tv character I've ever seen. She should've got at least an honorable mention
Samantha Carter (from Stargate SG-1) so deserved to be on that list (10 seasons on Stargate SG-1, 1 season of Stargate Atlantis AND 2 Stargate movies where she kicked asses and saved the world/Galaxy)....
She's just becoming a legend recently so I think she could be part of your "honorable mentions" : Lexa, the commander of the 12 clans in The100 series. :)
HELLOOO!!!!!! LEXA Of The Wood Clans!!! THE 100 She is the commander of 13 Clans, became Commander at 16! Has Black Blood! and is a badass Warrior!! COME ON Mojo!!!
My favorite Kickass female Tv Characters Piper Halliwell- Charmed Olivia Benson- SVU Beth Chapman- Dog the Bounty Hunter Spencer Hastings- Pretty Little Liars Prue Halliwell- Charmed Eleven- Stranger Things
excuse me, I literally felt the urge to shoot myself when I saw that Buffy was only number 5. WTF? I'm sorry, but ain't nobody more kickass, badass and iconic than Buffy...well yeah, I guess Xena is so I'll give you a pass on that one even if I'm not a fan of Xena simply because I was never interested in that but I can admit that she's probably the most iconic badass out there. But Buffy is definitely second, strong in every possible way. I love Michonne but what about Carol? I feel like Carol's badassery is even better than Michonne's because Carol's evolution is just so beautiful. Also yeah, I feel like Alison Argent and Octavia Blake and Clarke Griffin should have been honorable mentions.
Scarlet Witch yeah Buffy should be 2 but Xena I agree with she’s a badass is such a proud inspiration for the lgbtq and is a woman leader from all the guys that surrounded her
Emily throne> Revenge Clake> The 100 Nikita Buffy the vampire slayer Alicia Florrick> the good wife Elizabeth Woodville>The Queen Vanessa Ives> Penny Dreadful Blue
Detective decker - lucifer clarke, octavia, lexa - the 100 Regina mills - once upon a time Nyssa, sara lance - arrow Rebekkah mikaelson - the vampire diaries
Came for Xena, but wanted to also find Maggie Q's Nikita, Emily Thorne from Revenge, and Ziva David from NCIS... Guess getting one of four is the best I can expect.
I totaly agree with xena ! But buffy is definitly number 2. Xena was the first who was realy kickass, Joss whedon said himself thatvxena was a huge inspiration for him even for the musical episode.
Claire Fraser from 'Outlander' should've at least a honorable mention. She can travel in time, knows about medicine, politics, it's smart af, and tried to change the history of Scotland for God's sake.
Ziva should be in this. She's a badass. She's tough, she's willing to risk her life to save her colleagues, family and friends. She fought with a lot of men without getting hurt. Used two guns at the same time by shooting villains. Punched a man in the face before without being afraid. Threatened to rip a man's arm off by beating him up with the arm. Sticking a cigar up a man's testicles, after being called a bitch. Killed a man in the elevator, tried to beat up a strong man. Protected Tony in the elevator when the explosion was happening. Fought for her life to save Gibbs, and the team while having some issues with her life
I love to watch a show based around a female character. My favorites are: Buffy, Vanessa Van Helsing, the girls of The Secret Circle, girl that stared on Haven(Audrey parker) and the Dome. I also loved Skully.
seriously? who was it that thought Buffy in ANY position outside of #1, was a good idea? she IS the definition of Badass female character. all others fall far short. though Skye - Agents of SHIELD and Max - Dark Angel give her a run for her money!
I absolutely love Buffy she is my #1 but you break your own rule. She is the equivalent of a superhero. She has superhuman abilities like strength . the girl can lift a steel construction beam like it a paperweight.
My favorite kickass females 1. Kick from gone she is a badass in so many ways who helps others little girls from something she went through. 2. Misty from fbi she is such a cool girl all the way around. 3. Jules from sweet/vicious she did not just go to school but also hurt people who hurt others because of who hurt her. 4. Stacy Galbraith from unbelievable.
What the hell? How is Buffy not number 1? She is the definition of a kick-ass woman!!!
i like the fact they said no superheroes and included Buffy anyway.
+DJBubbleBoy Buffy's not a superheroine, she's a vampire slayer-- there IS a difference
No... Buffy is a superhero. She is the definition of superhero: a benevolent fictional character with superhuman powers. That's Buffy.
Batman however isn't. He has no superhuman powers. End of.
Katie Eff I'm afraid you're mistaken because she was imbused with enhanced abilities to put her on par with vampires which has been her primary opponent when she was (best guess) a high school freshman; she wasn't born with them.
Kaidus4ce Spiderman wasn't born with his. Mutants in the X Men aren't born with theirs. Hulk wasn't. Captain Marvel wasn't...
You don't have to be born with superpowers to be a superhero.
That is the literal definition of a superhero according to the dictionary. It doesn't mention having to be born with them.
WTF??? Buffy at #5 is unacceptable!!! While I don't disagree with Xena @ #1 Buffy should have been at #2. Without Xena or Buffy we would have the rest of these women on this list!!!!
exactly! I mean, for me it's always Buffy at number 1 but I get it why they chose Xena. But Buffy should have been number 2, no question there
I completely agree! I love everyone else on the list, but Buffy should have been 2
I AGREE
I was just getting ready to post the same thing!
Scully was around before Buffy...
wtffffff!!!! Buffy is so number 2. how many times must she sacrifice herself to save the world from ending.
Not once have I ever seen Ziva David in one of your top 10's. Ziva is/was an amazingly strong character who dedicated her life to putting away criminals, while breaking herself at the same time yet still managing to keep it together. Being held captive for 3 months in the desert by a terrorist cell, being in not one, not 2, but possibly 4 explosions, one of them possibly ending her life, raising a child on her own because she was too scared to let the man she loved be in her life, losing her sister and mother, being ordered to kill her own brother by her father, finding her father dead, fighting to avenge her father's death, while also being a full time federal field agent. All of that and she still managed to keep her head up and smile and she STILL doesn't get recognition, neither does the actress that plays Ziva.
👏
that!!! respect to you, my friend... and respect to Ziva David!!!
I agree she's one of the strongest NCIS characters along with Gibbs.
She also fought with strong men a bunch of times
Exactly!!! Ziva David was my favourite character so is Olivia Benson and Becket
👏👏👏👏👏👏 that was perfect
Buffy is my favorite female kickass TV character
Buffy should've ranked higher. "She saved the world...a lot."
erm clarke?...lexa? ?...octavia? from the 100 completely badasss characters or lagertha from vikings? I agree with most on this list but scully? I wouldnt really consider her a badass...shes just more intelligence than anything
justmyopinion 1 Octavia should be at #1
*cough* Spencer Hastings *cough*
Maggie Q's Nikita was amazing and kicked ass all day every day, while still being an incredibly conflicted and compassionate character. She should have at least been mentioned.
buffy only number 5?? boo
Emma Swan? Regina Mills?
YASSSSS
You mean Season 1 Emma Swan, right? Because the new Bella Swan is all but badass, she's a pathetic character waiting for her boyfriend's approval.
+vanesa relds yes the season 1, Emma swan
yes!
Yess Emma Swan (in all seasons)
Nikita (Maggie Q) or Emily Thorne from Revenge?
barren haynes omg Emily yess
Omg Nikita should have been on this list
Emily should have been on here
Omg someone mentioned revenge no one i know has ever watched this show and I dont know why
Where are Clarke, Lexa and Octavia from The 100!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So agree with you there! I know you can't put all of them on the list (since there's SO many kick ass female characters on TV) but Lexa deserved to be on that list SO much... :(
Can't forget her kicking the Azgeda ambassador over the balcony in Polis... *smirks*
What about raven
Octavia deserved it so much
Buffy Summers
Xena
Zoe (firefly)
River Song
Chloe Sullivan
Felicity Smoak
Michonne is #1
*claps* most badass list of awesome characters EVER!
+A Bourg YES!
Felicity Smoak lol
A Bourg Felicity Smoak?? WHAT
I would say Buffy should be number one but she was on another list they just did that was similar to this so whatever. I also love Peggy Carter, I really hope that show gets renewed for a third season but right now I'm not holding my breath.
"...also we won't be including any superheroes so apologies to Jessica Jones fans..." "#5, Buffy Summers- Buffy the Vampire Slayer."
Lexa from the 100? Clarke from the 100? Katherine Pierce from the vampire diaries?
Kajsa Svensson I can understand Lexa, but in my opinion I think Octavia is way more badass than Clarke
gotta agree octavia is way more bad ass
I agree with the two responses, Octavia is such a badass
How is Sarah Walker from Chuck NOT on this list? She's a motherf'ing badass. So glad that Michonne and Peggy Carter are on the list though
Peggy Carter should be in the top ten
This just isn't fair. Peggy is the most kick ass woman in the MCU....
I KNOW RIGHT!
Anna Buchanan they said they won't be including any superheroes
@@annabuchanan7623 no that's Okoye.
Sarah's manning from orphan black, is a total badass
Carol from twd
Buffy and Xena should always share the #1 spot in any competition!
these days the 100 has the most powerful woman on TV, the main 3 woman all kick ass, then you even have a guest star that everyone fell in love with because she was a huge bad ass. Lexa, Clarke, Octavia or even Raven should have easily been on this list.
Every time I expect the 100 to make one of these mojo lists it never does, and it's really disappointing because at least one of those amazing women should be on here. I'm beginning to think this is more about popularity and less about making realistic lists.

Where is Max (Jessica Alba) from Dark Angel too?
Exactly ! Where is she ?!
my thoughts exactly! until I discovered BTVS, Dark Angel was my definition of a kickass female character. and was my #1 favourite show (again, till i discovered BTVS)
OMG Yes, where is she? She is so kickass and awesome
wouldnt she be classed as a super hero of some sort? dunno its a long time since i saw that show
Melinda May from Agents of Shield ??!
Ophélie Ofakimoana Pelletier they said this list won't include any superheroes
@@yarinhazan147 If Peggy Carter can be on the list, so can Melinda May
Allison Argent, Kira Yukimora, Olivia Benson, Rosita Espinosa, and Sun Bak. Enough Said.
I love olivia Benson! 😍 she is one of my favorites as well
Octavia Blake?Allison Argent?

In what world is Buffy number 5 😱 Xena deserves number one but obviously Buffy should be number 2 🙈

+Alexis Stankewtiz not to mention the more than decade she's been on television
yes, exactly! :)
+Annie Burke agreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
+Annie Burke Totally agree
Yes, Michonne is the ultimate badass! Should have been No. 1!
I feel like Nikita should have been on here...
Octavia Blake, Clarke Griffin and basically every other female character in The 100 with a few exceptions. That's all I'm going to say.
At least you included my top 3 warrior maidens: Buffy, Michonne & Xena
Clarke Griffin, Commander Lexa, Root, Sameen Shaw, and Octavia Blake
Michonne all day everyday!
yay I am glad they mentioned Kate Beckett
Where?
I love Root and miss shaw from Person of interest
EMMA SWAN
ik... Emma Swan is the definition of badass. She lives to protect every crisis that comes
What about Nikita? She is literally the defintion of kickass characters
Top 10 Orphan Black clones or moments please.
Where's Melinda May from Agents of SHIELD? Or any other woman from this show? But seriously, May is one the most bad ass female tv character I've ever seen. She should've got at least an honorable mention
Bobbi is bad ass as well, but yes May absolutely deserves a spot!

Samantha Carter (from Stargate SG-1) so deserved to be on that list (10 seasons on Stargate SG-1, 1 season of Stargate Atlantis AND 2 Stargate movies where she kicked asses and saved the world/Galaxy)....
She's just becoming a legend recently so I think she could be part of your "honorable mentions" : Lexa, the commander of the 12 clans in The100 series. :)

My favorite Kickass female Tv Characters
Piper Halliwell- Charmed
Olivia Benson- SVU
Beth Chapman- Dog the Bounty Hunter
Spencer Hastings- Pretty Little Liars
Prue Halliwell- Charmed
Eleven- Stranger Things
excuse me, I literally felt the urge to shoot myself when I saw that Buffy was only number 5. WTF?

Also yeah, I feel like Alison Argent and Octavia Blake and Clarke Griffin should have been honorable mentions.
Well at least you included Veronica Mars on the list. My second favorite kickass after Buffy.
Scarlet Witch yeah Buffy should be 2 but Xena I agree with she’s a badass is such a proud inspiration for the lgbtq and is a woman leader from all the guys that surrounded her
Emily throne> Revenge
Clake> The 100
Nikita
Buffy the vampire slayer
Alicia Florrick> the good wife
Elizabeth Woodville>The Queen
Vanessa Ives> Penny Dreadful
Blue
claire fraser from outlander? she's literally trying to change history
Detective decker - lucifer
clarke, octavia, lexa - the 100
Regina mills - once upon a time
Nyssa, sara lance - arrow
Rebekkah mikaelson - the vampire diaries
Nyssa & sara lance should be higher in this list
Came for Xena, but wanted to also find Maggie Q's Nikita, Emily Thorne from Revenge, and Ziva David from NCIS... Guess getting one of four is the best I can expect.
You forgot Nikita (Maggie Q.).It would be nice to have top ten side kicks eg Gabrielle(Xena) and Alexandra Udinov(Nikita).I agree with No 1.
Xena's blonde side kick got bad ass in later seasons.
no Emma Swan??
I totaly agree with xena ! But buffy is definitly number 2. Xena was the first who was realy kickass, Joss whedon said himself thatvxena was a huge inspiration for him even for the musical episode.
STELLA GIBSON PPL
charmed? Once upon a time?
+Liz Jacobs group
I love them both
Love number 5 and 7! Altho Beckett should have actually made the list!
yess, Buffy and Veronica are probably my favorites on the list. Michonne too. But Buffy should have been number 2. She's number 1 in my heart tho.
Becket was one of the strongest female characters. Not everyone could put up with Castle =P
hahahah ;P
Jessica Weatherbed
Agree
Scully should be higher on this list. Not only is she brilliant, but also kicks so much ass.
Olivia Drambarean 🙌🏼👏🏼
Faith from Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Emma OUAT
Ok so I am super surprised that Buffy wasn't at the top 3...
lol I just looked through this whole comment section and there is A LOT of ladies lolol
You should have include Mazikeen from Lucifer, she is pretty kickass character
Claire Fraser from 'Outlander' should've at least a honorable mention. She can travel in time, knows about medicine, politics, it's smart af, and tried to change the history of Scotland for God's sake.
Xena at #1! She deserves it!!!!
Buffy at number 5 is a joke. Also like WTF? Sarah isn't even the most badass on her show. They should have put Helena on here instead.
MICHONNE IS WAAAAY BETTER THAN NUMBER ONE!
YES!!!
Yup
+Jennifer Rangel No way.
No, Xena really is the ultimate
Agreed. Michonne is bae
where's Lexa from the 100
You said no superheroes. Buffy has super powers....
Xena (Lucy Lawless) Rocks!!!!
seriously Kate Beckett an honorable mention WTF shes awesome and a real kick ass woman along with Buffy they should be in the top
Ziva should be in this.
She's a badass.
She's tough, she's willing to risk her life to save her colleagues, family and friends.
She fought with a lot of men without getting hurt.
Used two guns at the same time by shooting villains.
Punched a man in the face before without being afraid.
Threatened to rip a man's arm off by beating him up with the arm.
Sticking a cigar up a man's testicles, after being called a bitch.
Killed a man in the elevator, tried to beat up a strong man.
Protected Tony in the elevator when the explosion was happening.
Fought for her life to save Gibbs, and the team while having some issues with her life
Arya Stark, Katherine Pierce, Rebekkah Mikaelson, Emma Duval,Emma Swan, Emily Thorne, CeCe Drake,Allison Argent, Hayley Marshal, Kira Yukimura, Clarke Grifin, Davina Claire etc..
uuuhhh Melinda May??!! She is a Badass Agent of SHIELD and happens to be Mulan too!!! Not even an honorable mention?
I love to watch a show based around a female character. My favorites are: Buffy, Vanessa Van Helsing, the girls of The Secret Circle, girl that stared on Haven(Audrey parker) and the Dome. I also loved Skully.
Where is Lexa from the 100!?!?!
seriously?
who was it that thought Buffy in ANY position outside of #1, was a good idea?
she IS the definition of Badass female character.
all others fall far short.
though Skye - Agents of SHIELD
and Max - Dark Angel
give her a run for her money!
I see the title and the first person I think of is Kensi Blye
I absolutely love Buffy she is my #1 but you break your own rule. She is the equivalent of a superhero. She has superhuman abilities like strength . the girl can lift a steel construction beam like it a paperweight.
Honestly, what the actual fuck. HEDA LEXA!!!
Lexa deserved to be on here (and better).
Erm, where is Viola Davis as Annalise Keating?
Can you do a Top 10 funny moments of Charmed?
No Nikita or Emily Thorne or Olivia Dunham?
Lagertha from Vikings, and Melinda May from Agents Of Shield deserve honourable mentions.
BUFFY > than all List FAILNeeded Clarke Griffin from The100 needs to be there as well.
i waited to see if Veronica Mars was on the list before liking. im a total Marshmallow :D
Felicity Smoak DAMMMN
My favorite kickass females
1. Kick from gone she is a badass in so many ways who helps others little girls from something she went through.
2. Misty from fbi she is such a cool girl all the way around.
3. Jules from sweet/vicious she did not just go to school but also hurt people who hurt others because of who hurt her.
