Those stupid boys and their ridiculous little games. What's a girl to do? Well, if you're this girl, most likely beat them up. She may like to dress in black and keep her nails particularly long and sharp, unless the story cares about practicality. A popular combination with The Baroness, but usually not The Vamp or the Femme Fatale, since she prefers to pummel The Hero to a bloody pulp instead of seducing him, but there are certainly exceptions. Can this wild woman be tamed? Go on, keep thinking that way. We'll see how long you live. If she is brought over to the side of good, even if only for an episode, expect her to be reluctant about it at best. Typically, the DAG still falls prey to that old saw about women being wiser than men,note "wise" in this case can mean "cunning" or "devious" and is more likely to lock horns with males in her camp. She typically acts as the Evil Counterpart to an Action Girl, and the two will often get into a Designated Girl Fight. Faux Dark Action Girls are not unheard of, but very rare. This is probably because the standards the decade or culture sets for women usually don't apply to villains, and also because, regardless of gender, a villain who needs to be rescued by other villains would be utterly pointless from a narrative perspective, and being evil she doesn't earn her sympathy points for being captured. Do not confuse with Dark Magical Girl, who is more likely to be an Anti-Villain and thus more sympathetic. They are also supposed to be foils to a heroic Magical Girl and possibly her friend after being defeated; neither of which is the case with this trope. A Dark Magical Girl really just wants to be loved, while the typical Dark Action Girl would much rather be feared. |

The Mighty Thor: Amora the Enchantress is a prominent example of this, as she's joined Doctor Doom and Loki on their various evil plots and especially enjoys hurting certain attractive female heroes whom she perceives as rivals to her own beauty. She's not completely evil however as she does love Thor and did genuinely care for The Executioner as she nearly destroyed Yggdrasil in grief after his death. Hela is certainly this and unlike Amora, Hela's nicer qualities are almost nonexistent. She's the Evil Queen of The Underworld who has frequently tried to claim the souls of Asgard as her own and brought on mass destruction and death in her many battles with Thor and has even appeared on Earth to corrupts mortals. In more recent comics Hela even tried to shack up with Thanos and despite ultimately being rejected by him, she still sought to resurrect him, after Gamora killed him since she believes they are the perfect dark couple. |

X-Men Rogue was this originally when she worked for Mystique and her introduction in Avengers Annual #10 did not paint her in a good light as she gleefully ran roughshod over the Avengers her with Power Parasite ability, having just brutalised Carol Danvers and tossed her off a bridge. She went on to fight the X-Men and others several more times before absorbing some of Dazzler's memories and having an epiphany at which Rogue left Mystique for the X-Men to atone and the rest is history. Rogue's appearance and personality also marks her change from Dark Action Girl to Good Action Girl, as she originally looked like a butch middle-aged woman with crow's feet who was pretty Ax-Crazy but after her heel-turn to good she became a bombshell who was willing to risk her life for her allies at the drop of a hat. Emma Frost in her introduction during the ''ComicBook/TheDarkPhoenixSaga'' was very much this. She was introduced as an EvilCounterpart to [[Characters/MarvelComicsJeanGrey Jean Grey and had pretty much no redeeming qualities as she worked for the Hellfire Club and had no qualms torturing her fellow Mutants. After Jean beat her, Emma continued being a villain possessing Storm, clashing with the New Mutants and made an alliance with Magneto. It wasn't until The Phalanx Covenant and Generation X that Emma decided to turn over a new leaf and be a more righteous character and like Rogue eventually joined the X-Men, though she still remains a very unpleasant person to be around. She can easily switch back to Dark Action Girl though as seen in Avengers vs. X-Men or when she joins the Cabal. Madelyne Pryor aka the Goblin Queen, a clone of Jean Grey created by Mr. Sinister with a good deal of Clone Angst and an Ax-Crazy streak. In Hellions, she leads a Clone Army to attack the mutant paradise Krakoa for rejecting her before being defeated and killed. X-23 usually dresses in dark colors, is often emotionally standoffish, and is willing to kill and torture to achieve her goals, even after joining the X-Men and attempting to turn her life around. However it's been increasingly downplayed over time, and while she's still able to kill if she has to, thanks to Character Development it's more and more her last resort. By the beginning of All-New Wolverine she's verging on outright becoming The Cape. Lady Deathstrike is another X-Men Dark Action Girl and Evil Counterpart to Wolverine with her Adamantium-laced Femme Fatalons. Although she’s spent most of comic appearances as a villainess with an Irrational Hatred of Wolverine, in later comics she begrudgingly decides to be a hero alongside other Wolverine-alikes and even joins X-Force for a while. Mystique. Though her powers don't offer any real advantage in a fight, she's a skilled martial artist who supplements her physical prowess with an arsenal of firearms. She frequently makes fake Heel Face Turns that turn out to be Batman Gambits to screw the X-Men over, and when she betrays them, she naturally shoots or beats the shit out of whichever X-Man she'd gotten especially close to while she was "good" (See Iceman. And Forge, twice.). Somehow they always fall for it, because she's just that good at deceiving and manipulating people. In current comics Mystique is a begrudging ally to Xavier and Magneto, paying off her evil debts in order to get her wife Destiny resurrected. |

The Foot Recruit from Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is similar to Karai, both being female ninjas working for the Foot Clan. The Recruit is a lot less cunning and a lot more Hot-Blooded than your typical dark action girl, though. The series finale reveals her to be a gender-flipped Casey Jones, and sees her make a Heel–Face Turn. | |

Gisele starts off as this in Fast & Furious, before her Heel–Face Turn. Though disappointingly, the only action she really gets to do in the film is very briefly firing at some SWAT team members at one point. Fast & Furious 6 has Vegh, one of Shaw's henchmen, who drives a heavily modified vehicle designed to ram and flip-over other cars. There is also Agent Riley Hicks, Shaw's mole in Hobbs/Dom's team and possibly the single most skilled female fighter in the series, as Letty desperately has to use everything she has at her disposal just to hold her own, let alone actually beat her. Also Letty herself, who had a Face–Heel Turn and joined Shaw's, after losing her memories and disappearing, after supposedly dying two films ago. Though luckily, she's back on the hero's side by the end of the film. Furious 7 has Kara, an implied Blood Knight and the leader of an Abu Dhabi billionaire's personal Amazon Brigade security force, who can fight Letty to a draw. |

Action Pack: The only villains to appear as of now are women, Joystick, Iron Maiden, Snapdragon, and Quake. Both Joystick and Iron Maiden actually get one over on Spider-Man and they both get Black Fox to let them go, and coincidentally it takes both of them to take them down. And though she only has one actual appearance, Quake still goes head to head with Kira and can hold her own. The only real let down, the 'Faux Dark Action Girl' is Snapdragon. | |

The Witch from Into the Woods placed a curse on The Hero and his wife before the events of the show, practically abused her daughter, Rapunzel, by locking her in a tower for years, and cut off Rapunzel's hair and banished her into the desert. While the Witch had to work with the heroes for a time, she was the first cast member to start taking initiative when the true Big Bad started killing everyone, and was dead set on sacrificing Jack to the Giantess. Then, towards the end of the show, she curses the heroes when they all confront her, throws away her magical beans, and vanishes, possibly committing suicide. And on top of all that, she's got attitude. She is, however, one of the more sympathetic versions of this trope: She apparently really did care for Rapunzel, despite having no idea how to properly raise her, and is devastated (and sees her attempts to keep her away from the prince confirmed as correct) when Rapunzel is trampled on by the giant's wife, killing her. | |

RWBY: Cinder Fall is a ruthless and cruel villainess. She is one of the most powerful fighters in the series due to absorbing the Fall Maiden's powers. When she's not carrying out her plans to endanger the world and spread chaos, she's defeating enemies with relative ease using fire Dust, dual blades, or her bow and arrow. She solidifies her status as a Dark Action Girl when she personally murders Amber and Pyrrha. Emerald is Cinder's underling and a stealthy thief and assassin who isn't above using under-handed tactics or her illusory powers to defeat foes with her kusarigama-like weapon. Neo is an associate of Roman Torchwick and, despite standing at 4'9", has the finesse to completely avoid the attacks of and curb-stomp Ruby and Yang with elegance and style. And both time she's about to deliver the killing blow to them she has an obvious glee on her face. Yang's trailer (Yellow) featured the elegantly dressed Tag Team Twins, Melanie & Miltia(des) Malachite, among Junior's mooks at his club. After Yang attacks and wipes the floor with all the other henchmen, they gang up on and manage to hold their own significantly better than Junior's more other more generically dressed men. |

Ms. Clinton in Momentum is a skilled (and rather sadistic) member of a Cleanup Crew whose first action is to kickbox a man into submission. It's not until the climax when she really gets to shine, though. After she survives a bomb blast, the bloody-faced killer takes on and defeats multiple security guards armed with truncheons and sidearms. And she starts the fight without a weapon. This toughie only goes down when a Combat Pragmatist shoots her in the head. | |

Wonder Woman: As Cheetah Priscilla Rich, Debbie Domaine and Barbara Minerva were each deadly fighters and manipulators with malicious intentions, Pris was even working for Imperial Japan and the Nazis before she ever donned an animal-themed costume. Another Wondy villainess Giganta definitely counts as this being a Giant Woman who serves as the female version of The Brute for Lex Luthor alongside Cheetah. Although Giganta is more of a Punch-Clock Villain compared to other examples. |

Silver Sable is an incredibly dangerous and clever combatant who serves as The Dragon to her father, mob boss Silvermane. Probably should be mentioned that, in the comics, Silver Sable is a very different character with no connection to Silvermane. She is an Anti-Hero mercenary and Action Girl, and is usually on Spider-Man's side. | |

Kill Bill: O-Ren Ishii, Elle Driver, and Vernita Green were all part of The Deadly Vipers Assassins, the same team our heroine was on and are all shown to be at least on par with her. The first film also has Gogo Yubari, psychotic seventeen year old girl working under the aforementioned O-Ren Ishii, who in the present, has become a Yakuza boss. She a huge Meteor hammer like weapon with retractable saw blades that probably weighs more than she does. Probably of note is that the The Crazy 88s, O-Ren's personal mooks, have a fair amount of female members in general. We briefly meet another female assassin in the second film, named Karen Kim, who ambushes Beatrix in her hotel room with a shotgun. |

Open Blue: A recurring character from v2 to v4 was Kapitänin Karla Weir. She worked for a 19th-century equivalent of Nazi Germany, was rumored to perform raids on colonies belonging to fellow member states of The Federation, and was frequently called on by intelligence officer and literal baroness Rhianna von Adolph to help her with carrying out the occasional dirty work. Rhianna herself qualifies, being a highly-skilled knife wielder armed with a diamond-coated combat knife. Unlike Karla, she makes a comeback in v5, if only reduced to a backstory role. |

Xena: Warrior Princess: Callisto, Xena's Evil Counterpart. She does pull a Heel–Face Turn later in the show's run, actually. It takes divine intervention, though. It requires Xena — who, at this point, had died and become an Archangel — to take on all of Callisto's sins and suffering, thus damning herself to Hell for all eternity. This removes all of Callisto's memories of being evil, which, not coincidentally, leaves her with more or less no memory of her life after turning twelve. Then when Callisto is reincarnated, it happens to her all over again, including the Heel–Face Turn, as Livia/Eve, except she doesn't lose her memories. And, of course, Xena was one herself prior to her Heel–Face Turn. |

In Homestuck, thirteen year old Vriska Serket is a murdering egomaniac- the most violent, sadistic, and remorseless of all the trolls and is considered evil even by the standards of her barbaric planet. She is responsible for the deaths of thousands of trolls, as well as a teammate, and for seriously crippling two of her "friends" (and later killing one). She also purposefully facilitated a chain of events that led to an indestructible demon to be created and kill many, many more people- just because she wanted to have the glory of killing said demon. She's also among the most powerful characters in the comic. Later, however, she begins to realize that her upbringing was what caused her to become like this, as she was forced to hunt other trolls to sate the hunger of her spider-monster custodian, under threat of death. For the first time, she also feels true remorse after killing one of her friends. Her contact with and romantic interest in John also helps her see the error in many of the things that she's done. However, just as she comes to the conclusion that she doesn't want to kill or hurt people anymore, she is killed by Terezi in order to save the remaining trolls, as her plan to fight Jack Noir would have resulted in their deaths. As a consequence she has become one of the most controversial characters in the fandom. Later, we encounter Vriska in a dream bubble two years after her death. She's changed quite a bit. Meenah Peixes is the Dark Action Girl for the pre-scratch trolls. She greets people by trying to kill them and is indirectly responsible for a few deaths in her team (even though she had no intention of causing them). She also idolizes her post-scratch counterpart, who is a genocidal tyrant. She's not anywhere near as bloodthirsty as Vriska was, although just as egotistical and belligerent, and a lot more mischievous. Needless to say, when the two meet, sparks fly. Because almost every female cast member of Homestuck is an Action Girl in some sense, essentially all female antagonists in Homestuck count as this. After the RetJohn, Vriska returns to being this, along with Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work, with her presence almost single-handedly solving a majority of the issues the people on the meteor faced, from stopping Rose's alcoholism in its tracks to preventing Terezi from becoming Gamzee's kismesis. She also prevents a repeat of [S] Game Over by using her Mind Manipulation to knock out Jane and Jade before going to confront Lord English. |

The Americans: Elizabeth Jennings, undercover KGB agent and one of the two protagonists of the show. While masquerading as a travel agent and ordinary suburban mother of two children in the US, she is willing to kill in cold blood, poison a woman's son to force her to work for the KGB, and lie to her own children about what her and her husband Phillip actually do for a living, among other morally dark acts. | |

Subverted with Victoria Hand, although she’s an impressive Badass Normal and does fight the actual Avengers alongside Norman Osborn, her heart isn’t in it as a Token Good Teammate and is pardoned by Captain America after Osborn is defeated and joins the heroes. | |

Harmony Theory: Charisma is a pegasus pony born with a "Killer Mark", which makes her a natural born Blood Knight, who is instantly told the best ways to kill everypony in her immediate vicinity (Whether she wants to or not.) as well as a former member of the Solar Kingdom Special Forces. This has lead to becoming an infamous and feared Psycho for Hire and chief enforcers to one of the Big Bads, who a said to be invincible in a fair fight. One of the two main villains of the story is Nightmare Umbra, a nigh unstoppable Physical God, believed by many to be the living embodiment of war itself and wielding a vast arsenal of magic from simple Super-Strength and Super-Speed to being able to create armies of undead. |

Batman Beyond: In addition to being a really effective, if not, really badass shapeshifting blob, Inque is the embodiment of implacable. Frozen, diluted, and dissolved, in that order, all things that would assuredly damage or kill her and is still alive. On top of that, all of her encounters with Batman are usually with her cornering or nearly killing him. She even manages to nearly off Bruce Wayne in Powered Armor. In only one appearance she's not a major threat, because the "Innocent Bystander" she takes hostage is actually Superman. | |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Natasha Romanoff a.k.a Black Widow used to be an assassin for the Soviets prior to doing her Heel–Face Turn. As seen by her solo movie Nat’s adoptive sister Yelena, her adoptive mother Melina Taskmaster aka Antonia and many other women of the Black Widow program used to count as this as well before defecting like Nat or escaping from brainwashing. Guardians of the Galaxy has Nebula, the cyberneticly enhanced enforcer and adopted daughter of Thanos, who has a personal grudge against her "sister" resident Action Girl and member of the titular team Gamora. Though by the sequel, she starts to mellow out and even becomes a sort of semi-teammate. Gamora also used be one, similar to Nebula, before joining the Guardians. Several members of The Zealots from Doctor Strange are female. Hela, the Big Bad of Thor: Ragnarok is one hell of a Dark Action Girl. She dresses in a skin-tight black and green bodysuit, keeps her nails long (and painted black) and wears copious amounts of Excessive Evil Eyeshadow. Oh, and she can wipe the floor with anyone. Anyone. Well, except a fire demon the size of a small mountain. More than that, she is a one-woman army who can slaughter entire armies single-handedly and without even breaking a sweat. Proxima Midnight, from Avengers: Infinity War, is another female warrior and member of Thanos' adopted children, who's shown holding her own against several members of the Avengers throughout the film, but unlike Nebula and Gamora who very begrudgingly followed Thanos, Proxima seems no less devoted to his goals than he. Ant-Man and the Wasp introduces us to Ava Starr/Ghost, a deadly, ruthless, highly intelligent, and extremely athletic thief with intangibility powers. She fights on even footing with both Scott and Hope at multiple points throughout the film, and even overpowers them on a few occasions. Though its eventually revealed that she only does what she does out of desperation, as her powers are rapidly killing her and stealing the Pym family's particle technology may be the only way save herself. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch making her Face–Heel Turn following the events of WandaVision and serving as the Big Bad of this film, where she proves to be quite possibly the most dangerous villain since Thanos. Bringing The Masters of The Mystic Arts to its knees and slaughtering nearly all of another Universe's version of The Illuminate. |

The Mummy Trilogy: Anck-su-namun / Meela Nais is shown to be an even match for Evy in modern times and even manages to defeat her in ancient times. Unfortunately in modern times, she proves herself to be a Dirty Coward who runs when the going gets tough. Choi from The Dragon Emperor is a competent soldier and lieutenant to General Yang, and unlike Anuck-su-namun, is brave enough to die trying to save General Yang, after the latter gets caught between large wooden wheels. |

X-Men Film Series: Mystique in the original trilogy is a lethal assassin, and her super-agility gives her a great advantage over her foes during combat. She's a manipulative seductress who's not ashamed to kick lots of ass with acrobatics and kicks. In X-Men: Days of Future Past, she's a main villain in 1973 and kicks even more ass. X2: X-Men United: Lady Deathstrike. Raven Hair, Ivory Skin, stoic, dark clothes, agile and literally sharp. This may be subverted though, given that she's actually being mind-controlled by William Stryker. X-Men: The Last Stand: Callisto is basically Magneto's replacement for Mystique and fights Storm twice with her Super-Speed. The Wolverine: Viper is a vicious poisoner and martial artist to the point that even men don't mind fighting her. Deadpool (2016): Angel Dust can hold her own against Colossus. X-Men: Apocalypse: Storm wields enough power to attack Jean, Cyclops and Beast simultaneously and was overpowering Scott in their Beam-O-War. Psylocke is trained in both sword fighting and martial arts. She goes toe-to-toe with Beast and almost kills him. |

Castlevania (2017): While Carmilla is mostly The Chessmaster, she's also able to kick fellow vampire Godbrand down a flight of stairs at high speed. Unlike most other examples listed here, she's not remotely likeable, being unsympathetic and somehow even crueler than she is in the games. In Season 3, Carmilla is joined by the Council of Sisters — Morana, Striga, and Lenore — who plan to Take Over the World in the wake of Dracula's death. Morana and Striga are the only Affably Evil members of the quartet, as Lenore gives even Carmilla a run for her money in the cruel bitch department, using her vampire strength to give Distressed Dude Hector a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown (though she does becomes nicer later on). In Season 4, Carmilla and Striga in particular have two epic One-Woman Army moments against a horde of foes — in Carmilla's case, against an army of monsters followed by a Duel to the Death with Isaac. | |

Smallville: Corrupt Corporate Executive Tess Mercer has repeatedly demonstrated that, in addition to being an expert Manipulative Bastard and Chessmaster, she is not a slouch in the physical department either, having fought Lana, Lois, Green Arrow, Zod, and fellow Dark Action Girl Mad Harriet on relatively equal footing (she had to cheat against Zod by using Kryptonite brass knuckles; still, the fact that she devised and built Kryptonite brass knuckles is pretty badass in and of itself!). Harriet and the Female Furies also fulfill this trope, as did Lana when possessed by Isobel Thoreaux. |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Princess Azula, as a charismatic and powerful leader, combines this trope with Magnificent Bastard and Hero Killer. Mai, the Deadpan Snarker, is also one of these until she switches sides. She certainly dresses like one. She wears red and black clothes, uses a dark makeup palette, and has black Femme Fatalons. Quite a few mooks in the Fire Nation are female. Sequel Series The Legend of Korra gives us the following: In Book 1, several female mooks. Asami Sato was originally intended as a Sixth Ranger Traitor, but instead became purely heroic. In Book 2, Korra's creepy yandere cousin Eska until she and her twin brother make a last-minute Heel–Face Turn. Book 3 gives us Ming-Hua, a tiny Blood Knight waterbender with no arms but as many water whips as she could possibly ever need, and P'Li, a towering Cold Sniper firebender with a design explicitly stated to be inspired by Lisbeth Salander. They're members of the Red Lotus, and some of the most powerful benders in the world. Kuvira, the Arc Villain of Book 4, is more of a Dark Lady of War. The dictator of the Earth Empire, she utterly trashes around Korra, who wasn't fully recovered, during their fight, and uses The Colossus to destroy much of Republic City during the finale. |

Steven Universe: By virtue of Gems being a One-Gender Race note Technically they have No Biological Sex, but appear female (usually), use female pronouns, and are generally treated as female by human characters all Gems directly fighting against the heroes are this by default. Jasper is an incredibly tough Lightning Bruiser who can easily defeat the heroes, unless they're a fusion like Garnet. And even then, they have to really fight as hard as they can to beat her. |

Hound: Eva leads a band of seaweed-clad warriors called the Kelpies to attack anyone who attempts to reach the Isle of Skye. She later fights her estranged mother, Skye, to take control of the latter's school. Maeve, the warrior queen of Connact, leads her army and those from the east and south to invade Ulla. She effortlessly hurls a spear at Morrigan as they march through a river, exposing the goddess' disguise as she turns into a crow. Near the end of the story, she leads a surprise attack on Cú Cullan with a short sword. |

Sakido from Slightly Damned certainly had a history as one of these. She was one of hell's most elite warriors in The Great War before retiring to the ring of the slightly damned. She shows us what she's made of when she takes down the guardian of hell and then single handedly fights her way through the legions of demons to get her little brother and his friend Rhea to the mortal world, even though she knows she'll die in the process. Lazuli plays the role much straighter, and is pretty terrifying. |

Batman: Harley Quinn started off as this as a Canon Immigrant from Batman: The Animated Series. However due her extreme popularity, DC wisely separated her from The Joker and gave her some Adaptational Heroism. Now she's an unstable Anti-Hero who will aid the Justice League. Punchline was created to be Harley's replacement as Joker's Dark Mistress and ironically has a far less joyful personality than her. Lady Shiva is generally regarded as the deadliest martial artist in The DCU. When Matt Thorne, the Crime Doctor, is on the run from the criminals he has betrayed, he asks for sanctuary from Oracle and her team. Injured and hurt, Thorne sees Shiva and remarks "Holy Mother of God. I'm almost honored they sent her to kill me." Poison Ivy started as one and continued to be for several decades. But after DC decided to revamp their back catalogue of villainesses to have more female heroes Ivy got some Adaptational Heroism in the New 52 and following comics, she became a Green Thumb Anti-Hero instead of an eco-terrorist. |

MsChif started out in Gateway Championship Wrestling as a manager but when she started wrestling she ended up going on an undefeated streak, mostly at the expense of men, through use of deceptive strength, speed, flexibility and agility, though she was more remembered for continuing to attack after victories. But in the event a man could come up with a sound strategy in a match up, she was perfectly willing to break rules. And if that didn't work Tag Team partner Delirious would usually run in on her behalf. In these ways she was built up to face one of the main faces, Billy McNeil. | |

Girl Genius: Everyone on this list is sympathetically portrayed, and usually are more-or-less on the side of good. Girl Genius is Black-and-Gray Morality Played for Laughs, because that allows for far more awesome Mad Scientists. Jenka was doing pretty well holding her own against guards and Othar. Gkika, being one of the Jager Generals, probably falls somewhere between this and Lady of War. Von Pinn is just Ax-Crazy, and can tear Jagers apart with her bare hands. Dupree, who's axe CRAZIER. She routinely attempts to murder entire towns (and, it's implied, only fails because her commanders won't let her) and actively taunts Von Pinn. Zola, the false Hererodyne heir, isn't a bad example of this trope, either. |

Teen Titans (2003): Jinx, who is also the leader of the H.I.V.E F.I.V.E, with the rest of the members being males. She's the only one with any level of ambition, which leads to her eventual Heel–Face Turn being triggered by high-ranking villains (particularly Madame Rouge) dismissing her as useless. Developing a crush on Kid Flash also helped. The aforementioned Madame Rouge is one of The Brotherhood of Evil's top enforcers and is shown to be cunning and skilled enough with her shape shifting powers to handle pretty much any of the heroes in a one-on-one fight. Blackfire, Starfire's diabolical big sister who shares her sisters powers and is a formidable fighter in her own right. The phrase "Dark Action Girl" really brings Raven to mind...though she's more an example of another trope. Or, more accurately, two. |

Invincible: Anissa, a female Viltrimite, spends most of the comic as a particularly nasty one. She also serves as a disturbing subversion of the Villainesses Want Heroes trope as being stronger the protagonist Mark she brutally rapes him in order to impregnate herself, granted she does become The Atoner later on but how much she deserves to be forgiven is still highly debatable. | |

Superman: Superman's female Kryptonian foes Ursa and Faora definitely fall under this. Funnily enough they used to be the same Dark Action Girl before becoming a Decomposite Character and then would Man of Steel re-composite them into the same character again. Lex Luthor has Hope and Mercy, his team of female bodyguards. Supergirl enemy Lucy Lane, aka Superwoman. She was a soldier before being subjected to experiments which gave her Kryptonian-like powers. Nonetheless, she's fixated on getting her father's approval, whatever the cost. In Who is Superwoman? her obsession has turned her into an amoral monster who will do anything to please him, caring for nothing more. In Superman/Supergirl: Maelstrom, the titular villain is a skillful, powerful female warrior who serves the god of tyranny faithfully and obsessively. |

Red vs. Blue: Tex in is not only the only woman in blood gulch (until much later), but also the only capable soldier. She's technically on the side of the Blue Team, which doesn't stop her from abusing and scaring the shit out of her allies. She is also the one character who wears black armor. Every female Freelancer counts on one level or another, especially South, who shoots her own brother in the back in a jealous rage. There were also at least a couple female troops among The Insurrection's Elite Mooks, who managed to hold their own against the Freelancers just as well as their male counterparts. |

The Spectacular Spider-Man: Silver Sable is an incredibly dangerous and clever combatant who serves as The Dragon to her father, mob boss Silvermane. Probably should be mentioned that, in the comics, Silver Sable is a very different character with no connection to Silvermane. She is an Anti-Hero mercenary and Action Girl, and is usually on Spider-Man's side. Black Cat from the same series might also be considered an example, though, being something of a Catwoman figure, she's sometimes antagonistic but not exactly evil. |

Whenever it's a woman beneath the Ghostface mask in a Scream film, she's inevitably this on account of her being able to brutally kill multiple people. Scream 2: Nancy Loomis, despite being a middle-aged woman who doesn't look like an imposing killer, manages to drag a man into a news van and stab him to death. Furthermore, while she scored far fewer confirmed kills than her accomplice, she was the ringleader of the entire murder spree. Scream 4: Jill Roberts is, like the last female killer, the mastermind of the plan despite killing fewer people than her accomplice. During the climax, she also puts herself through hell to pull off a convincing Wounded Gazelle Gambit and get people to think she was the Final Girl, and then, upon finding out that Sidney is still alive, gets out of her hospital bed to finish the job like a true Determinator. Scream (2022): Sam Carpenter is a heroic example, a dark, troubled counterpart to the Action Survivor Sidney who's the daughter of the first film's lead killer Billy Loomis and has a deeply bloodthirsty streak to her, most notably when she kills the Big Bad in an exceptionally violent manner before wiping her blade in true Ghostface fashion. As for the killers, Amber Freeman is a Pint-Sized Powerhouse who acts as the main muscle of the duo with the most confirmed kills, the most brutal one being when she stabs a man in the front and back with two knives that she then pulls up his torso to gut him. |

The Scorpion King: From the second movie onwards, every entry includes an evil female warrior to have a Designated Girl Fight with the Love Interest: Astarte in Rise of a Warrior as an evil goddess of love and war that actually serves as the movie's Greater-Scope Villain due to Sargon being her worshiper. She does fight against Layla briefly. Tsukai in Search for Redemption is a undead summoned by the Book of the Dead to kill Mathayus and trades blows with Princess Silda. Chancara in Quest for Power is a fierce cage fighter whom Valina is forced to fight against in order for her and her allies proceed into their quest. Khensa in Book of Souls is arguably the darkest and most brutal example in the series, being a crazed Jackal Warrior with no reservations about killing children just because she felt like it. Unusually, she doesn't fight the love interest (since she is a non-fighter) and Tala is The Lancer instead. And it's Mathayus who kills her instead for personal reasons. |

The DCU: Aquaman: The Atlantean Queen Clea of Venturia has most of the same Super-Strength as the likes of Aquaman and Mera, and can consequently get physical with the best of them. Batman: Harley Quinn started off as this as a Canon Immigrant from Batman: The Animated Series. However due her extreme popularity, DC wisely separated her from The Joker and gave her some Adaptational Heroism. Now she's an unstable Anti-Hero who will aid the Justice League. Punchline was created to be Harley's replacement as Joker's Dark Mistress and ironically has a far less joyful personality than her. Lady Shiva is generally regarded as the deadliest martial artist in The DCU. When Matt Thorne, the Crime Doctor, is on the run from the criminals he has betrayed, he asks for sanctuary from Oracle and her team. Injured and hurt, Thorne sees Shiva and remarks "Holy Mother of God. I'm almost honored they sent her to kill me." Poison Ivy started as one and continued to be for several decades. But after DC decided to revamp their back catalogue of villainesses to have more female heroes Ivy got some Adaptational Heroism in the New 52 and following comics, she became a Green Thumb Anti-Hero instead of an eco-terrorist. Talia Al-Ghul fits the criteria along the Trope Codifier for Daddy's Little Villain being the daughter of Ra's Al-Ghul though her relationship with Batman has conflicted her loyalty. Unlike Ivy and Harley however, Talia does not become a nicer and more heroic person over time, instead turning into quite the abusive Evil Matriarch to her son Damian to the point of arranging his death at the hands of her son's clone. Tim Drake foe Scarab, who fought him when he was both Robin and Red Robin, was an accomplished assassin and fighter both in and out of her powered armor and commanded respect among criminals worldwide. Green Lantern: Bleez from the Red Lantern Corps uses The Power of Hate and initially Carol Ferris aka Star Sapphire from the Star Sapphire Corps who uses The Power of Love note in the DCU the Embodiment of the Love Aspect in the Emotional Electromagnetic Spectrum is more that Ax-Crazy Yandere style of obsessive love rather gentler affectionate kind of love . Although Carol does Heel–Face Turn to good. Justice League of America: Superwoman from the JLA’s Alternate Universe counterpart The Crime Syndicate of America is a very notable and powerful Dark Action Girl and The Vamp, especially in her JLA: Earth-2 revamp where she’s an evil Composite Character of Lois Lane and Wonder Woman. In Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths she’s an evil composite of Diana and Mary Marvel instead. Secret Six: Scandal first appears to simply be a Middle-Management Mook. However, she's shown to be extremely dangerous in combat, quite possibly insane, and very hard to kill (and it's revealed that her father is the immortal supervillain Vandal Savage). Superman: Superman's female Kryptonian foes Ursa and Faora definitely fall under this. Funnily enough they used to be the same Dark Action Girl before becoming a Decomposite Character and then would Man of Steel re-composite them into the same character again. Lex Luthor has Hope and Mercy, his team of female bodyguards. Supergirl enemy Lucy Lane, aka Superwoman. She was a soldier before being subjected to experiments which gave her Kryptonian-like powers. Nonetheless, she's fixated on getting her father's approval, whatever the cost. In Who is Superwoman? her obsession has turned her into an amoral monster who will do anything to please him, caring for nothing more. In Superman/Supergirl: Maelstrom, the titular villain is a skillful, powerful female warrior who serves the god of tyranny faithfully and obsessively. Teen Titans: Cheshire is an evil Badass Normal action girl and Professional Killer who mostly fights using a wide variety of poisons, to the point even her nails are coated in poison. Rose Wilson, aka Ravager, is the most badass girl they've had on the roster. Previously, she worked for Deathstroke the Terminator, one of the DCU's top assassins (and also her father), though she eventually realized how messed up her relationship with him was. Terra the Double Agent is revealed to be this, as she works for the aforementioned Deathstroke. Many adaptations since have made her a more likeable and tragic character. Wonder Woman: As Cheetah Priscilla Rich, Debbie Domaine and Barbara Minerva were each deadly fighters and manipulators with malicious intentions, Pris was even working for Imperial Japan and the Nazis before she ever donned an animal-themed costume. Another Wondy villainess Giganta definitely counts as this being a Giant Woman who serves as the female version of The Brute for Lex Luthor alongside Cheetah. Although Giganta is more of a Punch-Clock Villain compared to other examples. |

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Karai from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012). She's been able to hold her own against any of the turtles, and has no trouble at all with the Kraang-droids. The Foot Recruit from Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is similar to Karai, both being female ninjas working for the Foot Clan. The Recruit is a lot less cunning and a lot more Hot-Blooded than your typical dark action girl, though. The series finale reveals her to be a gender-flipped Casey Jones, and sees her make a Heel–Face Turn. |

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: The three priestesses from Rhun. Do not get fool by them dressing up in white gowns, they belong to a dangerous cult worshipping Sauron. Two of them are specialized in weapon wielding, while their leader is a powerful Lady of Black Magic. The fight one of the Istari, and get temporary defeated by him. The female warg slaver kept by Orcs is a mad beast that gets several people killed when they try to escape. Presumably, some of the Orcs are females, but they are probably so deformed that is impossible to distinguish them from the males. |

Scream (2022): Sam Carpenter is a heroic example, a dark, troubled counterpart to the Action Survivor Sidney who's the daughter of the first film's lead killer Billy Loomis and has a deeply bloodthirsty streak to her, most notably when she kills the Big Bad in an exceptionally violent manner before wiping her blade in true Ghostface fashion. As for the killers, Amber Freeman is a Pint-Sized Powerhouse who acts as the main muscle of the duo with the most confirmed kills, the most brutal one being when she stabs a man in the front and back with two knives that she then pulls up his torso to gut him. | |

Captain Phasma from The Force Awakens is a subversion. As the leader of the stormtroopers you'd expect her to be a formidable opponent for the heroes, but she never fights and gets captured easily.

Spider-Man: Black Cat, one of Spider-Man's love interests. Her Heel–Face Turn is often a Batman Gambit, her betrayals less an indication of her turn than the prime motivator all along. Though she doesn't need love in her life, she can appreciate it when it's there and remembers it fondly after abandoning it, which is why she doesn't return to the Heel–Face Revolving Door by whacking the Hero. In The Amazing Spider-Man (2018), Peter would run into a whole team of Dark Action Girls the Syndicate, some of whom are Distaff Counterpart to the Sinister Six. The team consists of the leader Janice Lincoln the fourth Beetle, Lady Octopus, Scorpia, Electro (Francine Frye), Trapstr and White Rabbit. Shriek, most famous for being Carnage's Dark Mistress in Maximum Carnage counts as this with her Sonic Scream. In later comics she teams up with fellow Dark Action Girl Ruby Headsman (see below). On the topic on Symbiotes and Carnage, from the Life Foundation Quirky Mini Boss Squad Scream and Agony count as this being Dark Action Girls empowered by the Venom Symbiote. |

Super Sentai has had plenty throughout its run. Salome in Battle Fever J is a covert agent and assassin for Secret Society Egos. She's powerful enough she can take on every single member of Team Battle Fever. Taiyou Sentai Sun Vulcan has the Zero Girls, an all-female quarter of spies who act as enforcers for Black Magma. Later on they're joined by Amazon Killer, who's powerful enough to take on all three members of Sun Vulcan at once. Dr. Mazenda in Choujuu Sentai Liveman, particularly after she upgraded herself into "Machine Mazenda". She was strong enough to overwhelm Red Falcon initially, to the point where he resorted to tricking her into using up all her ammo to give himself a fighting chance. Space Ninjas Furabiijo and Wendinu in Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger. One episode shows Wendinu gets much stronger and grows giant whenever she's angry or stressed, to the point where she's able to decimate both the Hurricanegers and Gouraigers in their Humongous Mecha. |

Suicide Squad (2016): Harley Quinn is the right-hand girl of The Joker and according to Amanda Waller, may be just as crazy and even more dangerous than him. In the film, she's able to keep up and fight on even terms with the rest of the team, despite having no powers, being significantly smaller than most of them, and presumably not having any formal combat training, and only being armed with a .357 revolver, a mallet and a baseball bat. There's also the Big Bad of the film, The Enchantress, a Physical Goddess capable of easily decimating a city and posing a huge threat to the world, and even without using her powers, is able to fend off the whole squad on her own. |

Skyscraper has Botha's female lieutenant Xia. She kills numerous police officers and security guards throughout the movie (including two at the control facility she effortlessly demolishes with a mixture of martial arts and gunfire), callously murders the team's hacker after he did his job and was afterwards more of a liability, and she would have strangled Sarah to death near the end of the film, if not for Inspector Wu's intervention. | |

Doctor Who: "Planet of the Dead": Lady Christina de Souza is a Classy Cat-Burglar who's much more morally ambiguous than most companions. The Doctor doesn't seem to mind too much. Melody Pond was one of these, since she was a psychopathic Tyke Bomb raised to kill the Doctor. She does perform a Heel–Face Turn and becomes River Song, though. |

Teen Titans: Cheshire is an evil Badass Normal action girl and Professional Killer who mostly fights using a wide variety of poisons, to the point even her nails are coated in poison. Rose Wilson, aka Ravager, is the most badass girl they've had on the roster. Previously, she worked for Deathstroke the Terminator, one of the DCU's top assassins (and also her father), though she eventually realized how messed up her relationship with him was. Terra the Double Agent is revealed to be this, as she works for the aforementioned Deathstroke. Many adaptations since have made her a more likeable and tragic character. |

Speaking of Daredevil, was introduced as a Dark Action Girl who worked for The Hand but turned to heroism after falling in love with a certain blind lawyer vigilante, before Bullseye famously killed her. Years since after getting resurrected, being a HeelFaceRevolvingDoor switching between AntiHero and DarkActionGirl and getting replaced with a [[ComicBook/SecretInvasion Skrull for a while, Elektra becomes a hero for real and even takes up the mantle of Daredevil to prove to Matt once and for all that she’s turned over a new leaf. |

The John Wick series has a few examples, among the many different assassins that appear in the series: Ms. Perkins from John Wick, is not only a competent assassin, but also one of the most ruthless and sadistic characters in the whole film. Unlike the other assassins, she does not obey the rules set by The Continental. This ultimately turns out to be a bad idea. Though she is not nearly as badass as John or Cassian, Ares, the chief enforcer and bodyguard to Santino, the Big Bad of the sequel also qualifies and actually manages to give John a pretty even fight for awhile. The key word being awhile. The sequel also has the unnamed "violinist assassin", one of the many assassins who go after Wick, after Santino inevitably betrays him. Though she loses, she does manage to wound Wick, making his confrontations with the proceeding assassin, all the more difficult. |

The two are extremely formidable opponents to Kubo as they pursue him relentlessly throughout the film. While Karasu is taken out of the film midway through, Washi sticks to near the end and manages to singlehandedly kill both Monkey and Beetle (the former of whom performs a Heroic Sacrifice to take out the both of them), forcing Kubo to face the actual Big Bad alone. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Faith is half this, half Dark Magical Girl. Her abilities are action-based, not magical, and the fights between Buffy and Faith are adrenaline-spiked highlights among the series' many action sequences. Directors, stunt directors, actresses, and stunt doubles always seemed to go all out whenever one of these scenes came up. At the same time, her issues are much more of the DMG vein, and she is eventually redeemed DMG-style in a two-part episode of Angel. However, even after Faith returns and joins up with Buffy, the two constantly butt heads, often violently. Darla. While in flashbacks, she's less action-y and more just plain evil, during the first season, she was The Master's Dragon. That is, until she died. God of Evil Glory should be mentioned, seeing as she was the Big Bad of a season. Wishverse Buffy, to the point where Faith is Lighter and Softer. Dark Willow can counts as well though it was temporary. She was able to confront Buffy in a close-ranged fight using her powers in addition. |

After Yoshihiro Tajiri ran off the assailants, Kana and The Sexy Purple Sisters made their mission the elimination of him and any other old men like him they could find. Triple Tails endured after the SMASH promotion folded, spreading across the Japanese circuit, adding Ayumi Kurihara, Mika Iida, and Shu Shibutani to their ranks in the process. | |

Natasha Romanoff a.k.a Black Widow used to be an assassin for the Soviets prior to doing her Heel–Face Turn. As seen by her solo movie Nat’s adoptive sister Yelena, her adoptive mother Melina Taskmaster aka Antonia and many other women of the Black Widow program used to count as this as well before defecting like Nat or escaping from brainwashing. | |

Crimson Flame in the Eventide Verse My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fic A Moonlit Storm is a member of the villainous group called the Thunderstrikes. She's a kirin, but unlike canon kirin, she embraces her fiery nature and fights by wreathing her hooves in flame before striking out with them a la Shego. She's also vicious, bad-tempered, racist, and ultimately proves to be treacherous toward her allies once she gets her hooves on a source of additional power. | |

Starting with season 3 of Merlin (2008), Morgana Pendragon goes from a Princess Classic to an Evil Sorcerer. After learning that king Uther is her father, having to hide her own magic, feeling extremely isolated in Camelot for years, being poisoned by Merlin, and after being taken away by Morgause for a year, she returns as a vengeful and resentful black magic wielder. She becomes the main villain for the rest of the show and is powerful enough to go toe to toe with Merlin. | |

Sarah Corvis in Bionic Woman is a prime example. She teaches the Action Girl protagonist just so that she can fight her later. Sarah also seems to like to drop hints, though it's been shown she does have a motivating romantic interest. | |

My Little Pony: The Movie (2017) has The Storm King's main enforcer Tempest Shadow, a unicorn mare that abandoned Equestria and turned evil, after her horn was broken in half as a child, making her magic dangerously unstable and ostracizing her from the other ponies. Throughout the film, she's shown easily defeating pretty much any thing in her way do to a mix of being surprisingly strong, a skilled fighter, and the fact that while her damaged horn can't cast most spells, it can unleash explosive blasts of energy. | |

Lynette Fromme and Sara Jane More in Assassins. The title of the play makes it rather obvious as to why these two ladies fit the trope, even if Fromme is the most incompetant assassin on the stage. | |

Blackarachnia of Transformers: Beast Wars is a bad, bad girl, ready to dish out pain by the bucket at the drop of a hat, as well as a treacherous Femme Fatale when it suits her. These two things, in combination, made her very popular in the fandom. Unlike many, though, she does do a Heel–Face Turn in the end, though, at first, it's just for her own safety. Despite the previous having a counterpart in Animated, another for this trope would be Starscream's Opposite-Sex Clone. Airachnid of Transformers: Prime. This is a woman (well, fembot) who got bored with her job as a Torture Technician and decided, as a hobby, to hunt endangered species and keep trophies from her kills. Rather than finding endangered species to hunt, she makes her own. |

Captain America: Madame Viper, The Baroness of Hydra (hell she inspired G.I. Joe’s Baroness herself!). She's a particular effective and evil Dark Action Girl and unlike a lot of other Marvel examples listed she is seriously lacking any sympathetic or heroic traits whatsoever, as several of her plans with Hydra reach Final Solution-level evil. Sin, daughter of the Red Skull and just as evil as her father. She even took up his mantle as the new Red Skull for a while. |
