Alice is a Proper Lady: sweet, patient, and kind; always calm; always ready with a genuine smile, and a warm meal for any unfortunate who crawls to her door. So when all is lost, the defenders have fallen, and the bad guys are battering down the door, every heart sinks and everyone silently prays that someone will come to her rescue before it's too la— *CRUNCH* ...well. That Death Trap was effective. Gruesome, but effective. Wonder where she got the hyenas...? This trope describes a setting where the men are fully capable of conventional violence, but the women have a hidden but apparently bottomless capacity for lethal mayhem. To help this trope along, expect the bad guys to dismiss Alice in favor of disabling Bob, Charlie, and Donald, assuming she could never be a threat. She probably won't correct them: in fact, she's likely to capitulate or collude with her captors, suffering indignities no one would expect her to tolerate, just to make her final revenge all the more brutal and more satisfying. Should you be foolish enough to want to trigger such behavior in a female, try pestering her offspring, crossing her in love, or threatening her love interest. One explanation for this would be, ironically, Men Use Violence, Women Use Communication - guys will settle things down by a ritualised scuffle (which wouldn't be practical if it was too likely to kill the loser) or play-fight (being killed is no fun). Gals don't fight unless they're really, really serious about it, since they settle their minor conflict by talking and prefer other kinds of fun. So they fight to the death. And when you have no chance in a fair fight, that's no incentive to fight fair. Remember, this does not describe a situation where Bob is weak and Alice is strong. This is when Alice is depicted as far more ruthless, more cunning, and ultimately more bloodthirsty than her Spear Counterpart, even though — or maybe because — she is physically smaller and weaker. Bob may be visibly larger and more aggressive, so he tends more toward forms, codes, and displays of power; meanwhile, the wily Alice bothers not with such things. This is the precursor to the modern Action Girl, but nonetheless can carry Unfortunate Implications by characterizing women as less morally upstanding than men and by playing into the "crazy bitch" stereotype — in fact, the Trope Namer (Rudyard Kipling's poem "The Female of the Species") cites this trope as a reason that women shouldn't be trusted with power. The difference between the modern Action Girl and this trope is kind of like the difference between a Brave Scot and a Violent Glaswegian. Compare this trope to its masculine equivalent All Abusers Are Male, and Men Are the Expendable Gender. Contrast Females Are More Innocent (in which women are typically seen or viewed as being more psychologically delicate than men). Bread and butter to its sister trope Silk Hiding Steel and Nothing Nice About Sugar and Spice. |

Adventure Time: The Ice Queen is much more malevolently competent than the Ice King. Justified, as it's a gender-flipped In-Universe fanfiction of the latter, so he probably made her competent regardless of her gender. | |

Worm: Powerful parahumans of both genders abound, but the specific subset of ruthless Well Intentioned Extremists who are willing to trample the lives and free wills of others for the sake of the greater good is a very small group of parahumans, several of whom are opposed to the others, and all of whom are female. Whether the Endbringers can even be considered to have a gender is unclear, but the only one identified as female (due to being shaped like a winged human woman) is the Simurgh. The Simurgh is also considered, by far, the most dangerous Endbringer due to her apparent ability to see the future and set up Disaster Dominoes years in advance, in addition to the destruction she inflicts directly. |

In Samurai Jack, Jack and his friend The Scotsman are off on a quest to save the Scotsman's wife, a good head taller and bit wider than the muscular Scotsman, from being sacrificed by some demons. Jack and the Scotsman get to her, nagging about their lateness and pathetic fighting styles, and get her to the main hall where they are surrounded by hundreds of demons. Jack and the Scotsman fight to their last bit of energy when the Demon Lord orders his people to kill them and put the "fat one" back in the pot. The Scotsman's wife does not take kindly to being called that, so she jumps into the battle alone beating back every single demon before taking down the Demon Lord himself. | |

A premium scene in Blades of Light & Shadow has Raine help Nia recover her bracelet back from kromps. Females are the venomous ones, though Raine's lucky they're only bit by a male while recovering the bracelet. Also, female orcs are stated to be stronger than the males, which is why orcish society is matriarchal. |

X-23, being the Opposite-Sex Clone of Wolverine, makes this even more noticeable, considering Logan's already one of the top badasses. While Laura's height in relation to Wolverine varies, she's consistently depicted as a slender (or at her heaviest athletic) teenage girl. She's also faster than him (not weighed down by 100lbs of adamantium), heals more quickly (her Healing Factor is not impacted by a full adamantium skeleton like Logan's), was raised from birth to be a living weapon, has extensive espionage and black ops training, was a professional assassin with the body count into the hundreds before she was thirteen, and every time she walks into a room she's already figured out several dozen ways to kill everyone inside it. And she's one of the top martial artists in the 616 'verse and may be an even better fighter than Logan. If you look at the big names in the X-Men generally, the women won the Super Power Lottery even bigger than the men. Storm can destroy you with all the fury the weather can deliver. Rogue has a potentially deadly touch and can copy powers, as well as being a Flying Brick normally. Jean Grey is one of the most powerful psychics and telekinetics ever to exist. And that’s not even counting the Superpowered Evil Side she has sometimes. |

Monster Hunter zig-zags with various related-species and subspecies. First Generation Monsters: The female Rathian, for instance, is often introduced to players sooner than the male Rathalos, and Rathian does not fly around nearly as much or use her fire breath as vigorously. The rather unnerving and perpetually aggressive Diablos species, however, has the even scarier Black Diablos subspecies, which consists entirely of female Diablos who are in heat, in World it's usually Black Diablos who comes out on top on Turf Wars against normal Diablos. Third Generation Monsters: Zig-zagged with the Jaggias, which are female versions of the Jaggis that are stronger and bigger but in turn are still smaller than their alpha, the Great Jaggi. Fourth Generation Monsters: The Seltas Queen is by far more dangerous than her male counterparts, trading off the speed of them in exchange for a highly armored body capable of withstanding several times more punishment than her squishy male counterpart. To further this point, Seltas Queen can employ her lesser male brood as mere servants and kill them for either attacks or sustainance. Fifth Generation Monsters: While initially the trope wasn't at play with Lunastra and Teostra in the second-generation games (since the former was a weaker version of the latter back then), in World Lunastra is made distinct from her mate Teostra in several ways. Instead of blastblight and fireballs, she carpets the ground in persistent blue flames that cause steady environmental heat damage and will splash out smaller flames if struck by a fire-element attack. She can also coordinate with her mate to cast the double supernova, which causes a rapid health drain for any hunter caught in its massive area of effect; even the fireproof mantle is only partially effective, and the damage can also overpower gradual healing effects. Last but not least, Lunastra actively protects Teostra in a hyper-aggressive manner, not even Nergigante can stand in her way when she is determined enough. Thunder Serpent Narwa is far more dangerous than her mate, Wind Serpent Ibushi, as she is larger, stronger and has far more powerful control over elements. Like the Seltas Queen, she can consume her mate's energy to grow far stronger and become the apocalyptic Narwa the Allmother. |

Bleach has both male and female fighters. However, among the 13 squads, the two female captains, Captain Soifon and Captain Unohana, "really" stand out among their peers. The former is likely the second best hand-to-hand combatant in the entire story, whose sword manifest itself as a one-hit kill for its first stage, and a nuke — like BFG for the second. The latter is a closet Blood Knight, confirmed as the world's best swordsman, wielding a blade of blood, who will savagely tear apart her opponents, only to heal them and repeat the process until she's satisfied. | |

The Desert Storm: In Night, Ben challenges a group of warlords to Trial by Combat. Out of all the warlords that Ben fights, the lone female of the group ends up being the hardest to beat. Unlike the others, she doesn’t underestimate Ben and uses a mace rather than fight unarmed like Ben’s previous opponents, and while she's the smallest of the group, she's far better at actually using her mass to her advantage. Tellingly, she inflicts the most damage onto Ben out of all four warlords. | |

Grimm: Hexenbiest are much more powerful, cunning, and dangerous than Zauberbiest, their male counterpart. Female Grimms get their powers decades earlier than male Grimms, meaning they have decades more experience and training at the same age. Also, female descendants are much more likely to inherit Grimm status than male descendants. |

This is also a major theme in Age of the Wolf, where the best fighters are all women and the men are mostly Action Survivors.

Meet the Robinsons: DOR-15, or "Doris", is qualifiable to be considered as such (despite not being technically feminine in the biological perspective) since she's proven herself to be a lot more dangerous than her partner-in-crime, the Bowler Hat Guy (who is actually the vengeful Mike Yagoobian, Lewis' old roommate). Just take a good look at the movie's climax. | |

The Naruto fanfic Son of the Sannin has this between Zabuza Momochi and Mei Terumi. Make no mistake; Zabuza has more than earned his credentials as one of Kiri's Seven Swordsmen, but still pales compared to Mei. To drive it home, the two had a one-on-one fight over the right to become Mizukage, and she took him down in less than five minutes. | |

Played with in The Bad Guys (2022) with Diane Foxington, aka. the Crimson Paw, who was the most notorious criminal in Sunnyside, having never been caught and mirroring all five of the Bad Guys' signature abilities to some palpable level. Her Establishing Character Moment is single-handedly curbstomping every officer in a maximum security prison. Where the trope becomes hazy however is that Diane ultimately gave up the criminal life out of guilt and became Governor to help clear up the city, only to find out that being the number one thief doesn't neccessary mean she can snuff out other criminals as easily (as shown when the Bad Guys and Marmalade outsmart her). It is only when taking the role of a Magnetic Hero that Diane begins to gain control of the plot. | |

Supergirl and Power Girl are just as powerful as their cousin, and at the same time more hot-tempered and less self-restrained. Put succinctly, if you get Clark mad, he'll merely punch you out; if you get Kara mad, she'll pummel you to the ground (or, if she believes you can take it, punch you through one planet). By way of example, in Crisis on Infinite Earths the Anti-Monitor almost killed Superman and then got almost killed by Supergirl. And in The Great Darkness Saga, Darkseid took longer to take her down than Superboy. Power Girl has also been shown to be a bit more comfortable with maiming her enemies as seen when she burned off Satanna's arm to make her reveal where she had stashed Power Girl's sidekick Atlee. | |

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brigg's is a base located in the harshest, most inhospitable place in the world, where men have to be extremely tough in order to just survive a single day there. Olivier Mira Armstrong is the general in charge of said base, and the men under her command are to a man extremely deadly, competent, and loyal. She's also easily the single best normal human fighter in the entire series, and there is a very short list of alchemists and homunculi that she can't definitively beat one-on-one. Her brother, the enormously muscular Alex Louis Armstrong, an alchemist who practices Full-Contact Magic, is not on that list. | |

Alien: There really isn't much evidence that Xenomorphs have genders, being implicitly asexual or hermaphroditic. However, it's common in the Expanded Universe to explicitly describe the huge, powerful Queen as a female and the "Praetorians" or Drones/Warriors as males, who mate with the much larger and stronger Queen to help her produce eggs. A Dark Horse novel/comic, Rogue, involves an attempt by a Mad Scientist to genetically engineer a "King Alien", the titular Rogue, who is mindlessly violent and aggressive, slaughtering every other Xenomorph it encounters — until it meets the Queen, which is smaller but smarter, quicker and more agile, quickly tearing the King apart. | |

In an episode of Time Squad, the heroes have to help henpecked husband Napoleon Bonaparte sneak away from his wife to do some late-night conquering. Eventually they're caught by her and, being the "fiery frenchwoman" that she is, she gets so mad that she singlehandedly obliterates Napoleon's army. They then decide to become conquering partners together. | |

Attack on Titan: Annie Leonhart, a young woman noted for her exceptional fighting skills because of her small stature. She sometimes jokes that she's a "delicate maiden", but her fighting style is primarily meant to remove the advantage a larger, stronger opponent has over her. She utilizes many kicks, throws, and grappling moves to quickly disable stronger foes, often using their own size and strength against them. This extends to her Titan form as well. While other Shifters primarily rely on brute force, she uses her superior speed and agility to take down her targets. | |

The Dresden Files: Briefly mentioned in the first book, Storm Front. Harry believes that women are simply able to feel a stronger hatred toward someone than men are. It should be borne in mind that he's a bit of a sexist at first and this likely stems from the fact that he's got severe trust issues after an incident with his first love, Elaine, who he believes tried to mind control him. He also thinks that she's dead. As it turns out, she's alive and she did, sort of, but she was mind controlled at the time. But even after that, he's proven somewhat right in that we got Charity, Murphy, Mab and Lea, and Lara to prove that the ladies of the verse tend towards being more dangerous when provoked than the males. | |

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Ikari Gendo is a Magnificent Bastard who commands a force of Humongous Mecha. His son Shinji pilots one of these mecha. Gendo's wife and Shinji's mom, Yui? She is the soul of said mecha that Shinji pilots, prone to Unstoppable Rage in order to protect her son and ripping her opponents limb from limb before devouring their organs. It's also likely that she is the actual mastermind behind the whole Instrumentality project and the Evas. Gendo really only takes over command because she is no longer able to. By the way, Ikari is her birth surname, not Gendo's. | |

Discworld: Lady Sybil has hints of this. She was raised properly, but that means she almost never has a chance to let off steam, and is occasionally very interested in violence... Compare the male wizards and the female witches (ESPECIALLY Granny Weatherwax). In particular amongst the witches we have Magrat Garlick, who is compared to a small furry animal in overall demeanor, and she isn't easily angered — but as Witches Abroad and Lords and Ladies prove, sometimes a cornered small furry animal turns out to be a mongoose In Guards! Guards!, we find an unexpected example at the climax. Lady Sybil deduced the literal Dragon — the ruling Ankh-Morpork through fear, is female. The Lady Assassins can be quite inventively nasty. Witness Alice Band's cure for over-confidence — sending students on doomed assignments to target Sam Vimes. And Lady T'Malia's armory of poison-dealing jewelry. Invoked in spirit in Monstrous Regiment, when Polly bites her lip at Wazzer's assertion that Borogravia would be peaceful and happy if women were in charge and reminisces on how, in her experience, women seemed to be the most likely gender to tattle on others for breaking Nuggan's Abominations — especially if the guilty parties were younger, prettier women — and were usually the first ones to show up for floggings and executions so they could get the best seats. Polly's cynicism is further justified when it turns out that at least a third of the Borogravian military High Command is made up of women in disguised, and they have made no effort to try and end the pointless bloodshed. This is something lampshaded by Jackrum, himself a Brawn Hilda who has been masquerading as a male sergeant for years, when he confesses to Polly that he had hoped the other Sweet Polly Olivers he had helped over his career might use their positions to try and bring some sanity back to the country, only for them to be if anything worse than the men they were pretending to be. And then, just to hammer things home, it's implied the women were all behind High Command starting the war all over again at the story's epilogue. |

Olga from Asura's Wrath is much more vindictive and cruel than most of the other Deities, being merely subservient to Deus out of true admiration then true subservience most of the time. Subverted when around Asura, especially when he turns into his berserker form, which makes her high tail it and try to use their ultimate weapon on him. She also outlives Deus and tries to kill Mithra when Deus dies. | |

Elena from Final Fantasy VII is the only female member of the Turks, and though she is only ever fought once in the game (in an optional battle to boot), she outstrips her male cohorts Rude and Reno in terms of virtually every stat. This is also true for her Final Fantasy VII Rebirth counterpart, who is also the most dangerous of the four Turks both in and out of battle. |

Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: In Season 2, there was one occasion where Lord Zedd created two monsters at once by using beauty products from Kimberly's mother's purse. The purse itself became a male monster called Pursehead while some lipstick became the female Lipsyncher. Whereas Pursehead was defeated rather humiliatingly by a blast from Saba and a few kicks from Tommy, Lipsyncher proved far more resilient to the point that she had the upper hand on Jason, the original leader of the team before the other rangers arrived to help him out. | |

In Claymore there are women who are transformed into half-human hybrids, and for this reason develop superhuman strength. They hunt monsters called yoma that eat human entrails. The ending of the manga shows that some of them get really extremely powerful. Men made into such hybrids cannot become so powerful. They can hardly control these forces and almost always quickly transform into awakened beings. | |

Get Schooled: The first two arcs are about how brutally boys bully their fellow students and teachers, so Warden Na beats them up to set them straight. The third arc is about a girls' school where psychological bullying is as hellish as, if not more than, the boys' physical bullying. The female Warden Im steps up for the job and is shown to be way less nice compared to Warden Na. The arc's main villain, Yeri Han, is the first antagonist to outright attempt murder several times; she's also the first to be sent to a detention center for her crimes. | |

According to Sapper, after battling the mysterious master criminal Carl Peterson through four books and finally killing him, Bulldog Drummond is challenged by Peterson's female associate Irma in the book Female of the Species (1928). Nearly forty years later, there was a film, Deadlier Than The Male (1967), in which the lead character is also called Bulldog Drummond, but he bears little relation to the original. | |

Undertale: In the True Pacifist route, Toriel effortlessly blows her husband Asgore away with a fireball (although they have equal stats). She then proceeds to chastise him that if he really wanted to free the monsters so badly, he should have used his first human soul to get out of the mountain and killed some people himself rather than playing Orcus on His Throne because he was too indecisive. This is the same Toriel who doted on you at the beginning of the game and seems to be in favor of peace between humans and monsters overall, but Asgore's perceived cowardice disgusts her even more than the fact that he was willing to murder humans. Early in the game you fight a husband/wife pair of warrior dogs. If you kill the wife, the husband will be so distraught that he won't even fight back and dies in a single hit. On the other hand, if you kill the husband first, the wife goes berserk on you, gaining a serious boost in attack speed and power. |

Defiance: The series features the gangster and slum lord Datak Tarr, and his loving wife Stahma... who quickly demonstrates that she is far more cunning and ruthless than her husband. She talks her husband out of killing the entire family of local mine owner Rafe McCawley by pointing out that their son Alak loves Christie McCawley — who would inherit the mines if her father and brother were to have a tragic mining accident. Even Nolan catches onto this during "A Well Respected Man": In Castithan culture, females are expected to be meek and obedient while their husbands are strong and ruthless. Stahma tells Christie, her son's girlfriend, a story about how her fiance "accidentally" fell out an airlock, implying that Datak killed him so they could be together. A later rant changes the context quite a bit. |

In the Night Watch (Series): Male wizards seem to be more competent in the tasks requiring patience and precision but they are absolutely no match for females when it comes to raw power they are able to unleash. Even mundane women (i.e. ones devoid of any magical talent) have much bigger reserves of the internal magical potential. On the flipside, this makes them preferable target for human sacrifices, as observed in Day Watch. | |

Cave Story has Misery, the right-hand witch of the Big Bad. While her "partner" Balrog, despite his incredible strength and some mischiefs (like killing puppies under their owner's eyes to get informations), is only dangerous because he's under the crown's control, this same curse is what keeps Misery from being more dangerous than she already is: her mischiefs include abuse on her partner she doesn't seem to consider as more than an attack dog, using an innocent girl as a guinea pig for a deadly experiment, and forcing a powerful sorcerer to create the McGuffin she's bound to, kickstarting the entire plot of the game. | |

Parasite (2019): Kim Chung-sook is absolutely ruthless in a fight, and in fact it is she who rather brutally kills Geun-se after he's stabbed Ki-jeong, and who delivers one of the fatal blows to Moon-gwang by pushing her down the stairs, arguably making her the deadliest of the Kim family. When Ki-taek grabs her by the collar and jokingly pretends that he's about to hit her, she doesn't even flinch, and when he says he was just joking, she says she would have killed him if he wasn't. | |

This is pretty explicitly part of the worldbuilding in the Black Jewels series by Anne Bishop: the culture is matriarchal, with males serving females as guardians and protectors; but females generally have more powerful (or at least more deadly) magic, and one character even says outright, albeit half joking, that the reason males serve is because "you're deadlier when you're angry" and at least if they go down first the males won't have to deal with them when their tempers are roused. | |

In the Vorkosigan Saga novel Barrayar: Princess Kareen realizes her son is alive and that she's been lied to. Without hesitation, she draws a nerve disrupter in a room full of soldiers and fires at the usurper who told her that her son was dead, the self-proclaimed Emperor. Despite Aral being a remarkably capable warrior, ultimately Cordelia leads the team that ends the coup attempt and changes the fate of the world...on the way to rescuing her son, her real mission. |

2000 AD: Nemesis the Warlock: Female Warlocks are bigger, stronger, and more powerful mages than the males. The phrase itself is commonly used when referring to them. This is also a major theme in Age of the Wolf, where the best fighters are all women and the men are mostly Action Survivors. Pretty literally among the werewolves, where the females are larger than the males (despite mammalian sexual differentiation usually being the opposite, among both humans and wolves). |

The Conquerors Saga, an Alternate History where Vlad the Impaler was a woman, has Lada Dracul recruit women to serve in her army specifically because they've suffered far more under the Ottoman regime and boyars than the men have. While her male advisers often object to her more extreme actions, such as staking 20,000 Muslims, the women support her completely. | |

Fourth Generation Monsters: The Seltas Queen is by far more dangerous than her male counterparts, trading off the speed of them in exchange for a highly armored body capable of withstanding several times more punishment than her squishy male counterpart. To further this point, Seltas Queen can employ her lesser male brood as mere servants and kill them for either attacks or sustainance. | |

In Thor: Ragnarok the modern day Asgardian army (introduced as of the first Thor movie and onwards) is overwhelmingly male, so it's perhaps surprising to learn that the strongest and most ruthlessly insane, violent and deadly warrior and military commander in Asgard's entire illustrious history was in fact a woman. Even Thor himself seems to drastically underestimate his long-lost sister Hela's strength (especially in comparison to his own due to her being much physically smaller and more slender than him), not to mention her crazy blood lust when he first meets her, thinking that he can defeat and subdue her using Mjölnir alone. He learns what a terrible mistake in judgment he's made when she swiftly catches the magic hammer like it's absolutely nothing and crushes it single-handedly. Hela's insanity, use of excessive violence and Blood Knight Galactic Conqueror tendencies show what a terrible ruler she would be. | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender, as an entire franchise, has a bunch of these. Avatar: The Last Airbender: While there are very competent male Fire Benders and fighters in her family, Princess Azula plots, schemes, and ruthlessly manipulates others to do her dirty work, before finally bringing out the lightning. And she puts even Daddy to shame with all of her machinations, murder, and mayhem. Best displayed by the fact that she actually managed to kill Aang (though he did get better). Katara can also have shades of this. While she doesn't have the raw power of Aang, she can be downright terrifying when angry. Most notable when she's on the receiving end of chauvinistic comments (things tend to break around her) and when hunting for her mother's killer (where she used bloodbending). Even the Avatars show shades of this. The female Avatars all show signs of being fiercer than the male Avatars are — after all, it's Yangchen and Kyoshi (both female) who outright tell Aang to kill Ozai, whereas Kuruk and Roku (both male) use vague "be decisive, choose your destiny" advice. Kyoshi had such a fierce reputation that she's (falsely) on record as a murderer (she's explicitly killed two people for the record). Korra is also a much more pragmatic Avatar than Aang and doesn't hesitate to kill if she has to. The Legend of Korra follows suit like its predecessor series in regards to some of its female fighters. While the Red Lotus consists of anarchistic benders with unique and unusual abilities, Ming-Hua and P'Li are far more ruthless and vicious in battle than Zaheer and Ghazan. That being said, Ghazan has the most raw destructive force of the group while Zaheer has the most directly lethal application of bending shown onscreen. The Metal Clan has this, inevitably given that the badass genes are from Toph. Two of the males are Non-Action Guys and the other two are satellite characters to Suyin the matriarch in every fight scene. |

Smallville: Clark Kent may be a Physical God, but being such a boy scout, he might just be less dangerous than Lana Lang and Chloe Sullivan. Lana enacted a complex and vicious plan of revenge after Lex Luthor faked her pregnancy, which includes beating up and imprisoning Lionel. Chloe delivered an If You Ever Do Anything To Hurt Him speech to Lana with a very convincing tone; if you are the week's bad guy who tried to expose Clark to the world and she is under the influence of Brainiac, you won't live long enough to regret it. Jonathan would come at you with a shotgun if you try to hurt his loved ones. Martha would come up with an elaborate gambit and finish off with a Evil Cannot Comprehend Good speech that induced a Villainous Breakdown in the Dark Action Girl. |

Fallout: In Fallout: New Vegas, any of the female companions classify. Veronica and her power fist are much more dangerous than most of what the Brotherhood has to offer and Cass... Let's just say she one ups her father on that front. The female NCR Ranger, Stella, captured by the Legion. Forced to fight in the arena, she's been tearing up hardened legionaries with her bare hands ever since. Colonel Cassandra Moore is by far the most bloodthirsty of the NCR’s commanders. One of Fallout 4's add on Nuka-World 's raider gangs, the Disciples, is predominantly female, and they are by far the most bloodthirsty of the gangs. Specializing in blades, the Disciples are known to go against the already shaky peace agreement between the Nuka-World raiders and kill members of the other gangs, with their only rule being to not get caught. |

Invoked in spirit in Monstrous Regiment, when Polly bites her lip at Wazzer's assertion that Borogravia would be peaceful and happy if women were in charge and reminisces on how, in her experience, women seemed to be the most likely gender to tattle on others for breaking Nuggan's Abominations — especially if the guilty parties were younger, prettier women — and were usually the first ones to show up for floggings and executions so they could get the best seats. Polly's cynicism is further justified when it turns out that at least a third of the Borogravian military High Command is made up of women in disguised, and they have made no effort to try and end the pointless bloodshed. This is something lampshaded by Jackrum, himself a Brawn Hilda who has been masquerading as a male sergeant for years, when he confesses to Polly that he had hoped the other Sweet Polly Olivers he had helped over his career might use their positions to try and bring some sanity back to the country, only for them to be if anything worse than the men they were pretending to be. And then, just to hammer things home, it's implied the women were all behind High Command starting the war all over again at the story's epilogue. | |

Mass Effect: Male party members have a tendency to be calm and rational by comparison to a cast that includes Liara, Jack, Morinth, Samara, and Ashley. FemShep applies when compared to her male squadmates, potentially lampshaded by Wrex's "Who'd win in a fight?" elevator chitchat. Does not apply when compared with MaleShep as they are equals by design. |

While the Tortall Universe and Circleverse of Tamora Pierce tend more towards Action Girl and Silk Hiding Steel, they don't shy away from this trope either, totaling no less than three female serial killers and even more dangerously ambitious empresses, regents, and assorted female nobles between them. Even the more regressive parts of Tortallan culture consider it the duty of "any delicately reared noblewoman" to defend her fief while the menfolk are away, even to the point of lighting barrels of lard and ordering them catapulted onto enemy ships. | |

Batman Out of all of Batman's associates, the ones he has the least control over have been his female ones: Barbara Gordon a. k. a., Batgirl — (who was completely independent of him and considers herself his equal), Catwoman (who skirts the line between vigilante and criminal, and has no code against killing), Spoiler (who became a superhero largely to apprehend her criminal father and then became Batman's student), Batwoman (more loyal to the symbol than the person) and Huntress (who also doesn't bother with Thou Shall Not Kill sensibilities). These ladies, while wanting to prove themselves as Gotham Heroines, don't have any of the "mentor/daddy issues" that the boys have and largely disobey Batman whenever they please. Batgirl Cassandra Cain does have these issues, seeing Bruce as a surrogate father figure. She still qualifies since she is by far the deadliest combatant the Bat-family has ever known, and considers her first loyalty to be the symbol. However, she feels even more strongly about avoiding killing opponents than Bruce — she's just a better (and often more brutal) fighter. |

Star Trek: The original Green Skinned Space Babes, the Orion slavegirls, are far deadlier than the males and are the true rulers of their world thanks to their pheromones. According to Klingon creation myth the first Klingon was male, and the second was female and stronger because the gods had a better idea what they were doing now. They fought for a time, until the female convinced the male that together they would be strong enough to destroy the gods themselves. Which they then did. This story is recited at Klingon weddings as the ideal, just before the husband's friends attack the pair to give them some Battle Couple cred. |

A secondary heroine named Daring Do (an Indiana-Jones-slash-Lara-Croft Expy) is visibly stronger and more skilled in combat than her arch-nemesis Doctor Caballeron or any of his (exclusively male) thugs. The only reason they pose any threat to her is because they attack in group, while Daring Do tends to act solo. | |

Death Note: Naomi Misora is this way in comparison to her husband; while Raye is barely a problem, Light is in some real trouble when she decides to avenge him. Though Light manages to take advantage of her grief and lack of resources to get her out of the game before that happens, her death leads L to him and sets in motion the events leading to his ultimate destruction. The author himself admitted that, if Naomi had lived, there would have been no game. She has enough intellect to come to key realizations, without the issues that bind L, namely L's unwillingness to go for the kill. Even more so in Another Note, in which Naomi's singlehanded solving of the case impresses even L. |

In Sailor Moon, the female characters tend to be more bloodthirsty than the male ones. The best example comes from confronting any version of Prince Demando (The Dragon of the second group of villains, who believes himself the Big Bad) with Sailor Venus (a hero): when put having to kill the person they loved, Demando refused (in the manga he ultimately tried it, but that's only in his Villainous Breakdown, and it was merely a collateral effect of what he was actually trying to do), Sailor Venus did it in a heartbeat, twice (while the first time she may have been panicking, given it was her first mission, the second time she had just begged him to stand down while holding him at deadly spellpoint). | |

Superman: Supergirl and Power Girl are just as powerful as their cousin, and at the same time more hot-tempered and less self-restrained. Put succinctly, if you get Clark mad, he'll merely punch you out; if you get Kara mad, she'll pummel you to the ground (or, if she believes you can take it, punch you through one planet). By way of example, in Crisis on Infinite Earths the Anti-Monitor almost killed Superman and then got almost killed by Supergirl. And in The Great Darkness Saga, Darkseid took longer to take her down than Superboy. Power Girl has also been shown to be a bit more comfortable with maiming her enemies as seen when she burned off Satanna's arm to make her reveal where she had stashed Power Girl's sidekick Atlee. The Great Phantom Peril introduces Faora Hu-ul in the Superman mythos. She's a cunning, ruthless killing machine thanks to mastering a Kryptonian martial art known as Horu-Kanu and the classic Kryptonian powerset plus telepathy and electrokinesis. All male Phantom Zoners are scared of her, and even Superman is incapable of defeating her in a straight physical fight. |

Fifth Generation Monsters: While initially the trope wasn't at play with Lunastra and Teostra in the second-generation games (since the former was a weaker version of the latter back then), in World Lunastra is made distinct from her mate Teostra in several ways. Instead of blastblight and fireballs, she carpets the ground in persistent blue flames that cause steady environmental heat damage and will splash out smaller flames if struck by a fire-element attack. She can also coordinate with her mate to cast the double supernova, which causes a rapid health drain for any hunter caught in its massive area of effect; even the fireproof mantle is only partially effective, and the damage can also overpower gradual healing effects. Last but not least, Lunastra actively protects Teostra in a hyper-aggressive manner, not even Nergigante can stand in her way when she is determined enough. Thunder Serpent Narwa is far more dangerous than her mate, Wind Serpent Ibushi, as she is larger, stronger and has far more powerful control over elements. Like the Seltas Queen, she can consume her mate's energy to grow far stronger and become the apocalyptic Narwa the Allmother. |

The Lion King (1994): Nala, Simba's best friend and love interest, has easily beaten Simba in all their "fights". She pinned him twice in a row as cubs, and the second time was after Simba tackled her by surprise while she was smirking proudly after the first time. They get into a much more serious fight as adults, and although it seems much more even she still beats him the same way she did the first two times as kids, flipping him in midair and slamming him to the ground pinning him. She might have even killed him if he didn't recognize her from this move. Although Simba does "beat" Nala eventually, pinning her himself, rolling down a hill romantically is hardly considered a fight. | |

This is true of the Freelancers in Red vs. Blue. While they're all expert fighters, the women tend to either be better or plain more ruthless than their male counterparts. Carolina is The Leader and is ranked number one on the leaderboard until Tex shows up, and often shows the martial ability to back this up. It's notable that she was the Meta's first victim and is still alive into the current seasons. Tex is the resident badass in the Blood Gulch Chronicles, and is shown capable of holding her own in a variety of situations. She's introduced in the Freelancer Saga winning a one-on-three sparring match against York, Wyoming, and Maine, and later on is able to give Washington and the Meta a run for their money in Revelations. South is considerably more bloodthirsty than her brother North, and is shown to be more direct in her approach while he prefers to take up a sniper position. Taken to the extreme that she put her own brother, and later Washington, in a position to be killed by the Meta. Too bad Wash got better. Seemingly subverted in the case of CT, who is either at the bottom of the leaderboard or not on it at all. Though, this might be more because she's secretly working for the Insurrection. |

Reboot: Hexadecimal was always far more powerful than her brother Megabyte, both in terms of physical strength and viral abilities, with his only real advantage being smarter, more focused, and sane.

In Xenogears, Ramsus' right-hand woman Miang shows up in their first couple of boss fights as either his healer or his copilot, never participating in combat directly (you can't even target her if you wanted to). This is almost certainly a ruse, because later on Miang proves to be both more central to the plot and a much bigger threat in gameplay than Ramsus ever was. | |

Species: According to the team that developed her, the decision was made to make the alien hybrid female "so she'd be more docile and controllable". A female scientist observes that "You don't get out much, do you?" Species II subverts this, however; it turns out that a male hybrid is much more dangerous. The big threat of the hybrids is that they will procreate and overthrow humanity, and that's an area in which males have greater advantages to females since they can impregnate multiple partners in a short timespan. When they metamorphose into their alien forms, the male one is also three times the female's size. | |

On Sweet/Vicious, the women are some of the most fearsome characters on the show. On the heroic side, we have the protagonists Jules and Ophelia, two college girls and Vigilante Women who are each, in their own way, vastly more dangerous than most of the boys on campus. The only guys who ever really stood a chance against them were either athletes or people who had the jump on them. On the evil side, we have the Kappa Kappa Phi sorority, run by the Alpha Bitch Chloe and her two Beta Bitches, both named Lindsay. Not only are they able to hold their own in hand-to-hand combat with Jules and Ophelia far better than most of their male targets, but the scope of their evil deeds is far more widespread. While most of Jules and Ophelia's rapist targets are assaulting individual girls, the Kappas are systematically abusing dozens of girls at a time over the course of Hell Week (and presumably even after that), and profiting from their heinous actions to the tune of twenty thousand dollars a week by secretly filming it for a fetish site. |

In The Elder Scrolls series, this is a trait of the Aureals (aka Golden Saints) and Mazken (aka Dark Seducers), two forms of lesser Daedra in service to Sheogorath. Each has a matriarchal, militaristic society, and, for the Aureal as race, they are haughty, arrogant, quick to anger, and cruel in their punishment. The females are significantly more powerful than the males. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Cersei Lannister is a subversion of the trope. She think of herself as this, and is certainly more dangerous than her idiot husband, but the series is so overflowing with other manipulators of greater competence than her that she is ultimately outmatched. Note that her inferiority in this field is not implied to be due to her gender, but simply her intelligence and personality. Ultimately subverted with Daenerys Targaryen. She's a 15-year-old girl without any of the martial training male nobles usually receive. To date, she has sacked three separate cities, and has a short way with those who cross her. In A Dance with Dragons, however, while it's clear she started with the best of intentions, her supporters are vastly outnumbered by those who want to overthrow her. All three cities eventually rise up in rebellion. Played straight with Olenna "Queen of Thorns" Tyrell, and she's training her protegee/granddaughter Margaery to be the same. |

Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple: Miu Furinji is a downplayed example, though she still plays the trope straight compared to Kenichi. For a large part of the story she's clearly the stronger and better fighter of the two. As the gap between the two closes, it still becomes evident that she has the more aggressive and ruthless fighting style , since she has "Dou" ki (when martial artists fuel their skills using aggressive emotions like rage) contrasting with Kenichi's "Sei" ki (when martial artists control their emotions and remain calm and collected). | |

In Regular Show, it's revealed in "The Real Thomas" that "Thomas" himself is actually a Russian spy named Nikolai who works with Natalia, another Russian spy whose pseudonym is simply "Natalie", in order to bring the Park into Russia as a piece of territory from the United States (under the orders of the KGB) for international provocation. However, Thomas was able to overcome his purpose as a ruthless spy with the help of the Park gang, but Natalia didn't, so naturally they fought against each other for that matter (which ironically resulted in her abrupt demise). Keep in mind that right after the espionage revelation, Natalia was also keeping the entire Park gang in captive. | |

Pokémon: The Meowstic species exhibits such a high level of Bizarre Sexual Dimorphism that the two genders have different movepools. The males have primarily support movepools. The females, on the other hand, have primarily offensive movepools (through level up only though). The female's hidden ability (Competitive) is also offensive-oriented compared to the male's (Prankster), but otherwise, it's downplayed; their stats as well their movepools by TMs as well as from Espurr's are still the same. Combee double-subverts this. While the female is no stronger than the male, it is the only gender that can evolve into Vespiquen. Likewise, female Salandit are the only ones who can evolve to Salazzle, due to the male Salandits starving themselves as revealed in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon's Pokedex entries. |

Six of Crows: Inej and Nina of the titular group are both sweet, friendly girls, but they also both act as the muscle and are considerably more dangerous than the rest of their male counterparts. Inej is a spy that is basically a ninja and Nina, as a Heartrender, is capable of manipulating bodies of people stronger than her and put them out easily. This can be compared to the men of the crew, where Kaz is a good fighter, but primarily the strategic brains; Wylan is a gadget guy responsible for giving them bombs; Jesper is a sharpshooter, but not an up-close fighter; and Matthias, who is a physically imposing soldier, but still just a common fighter compared to them. | |

The Fast and the Furious: Despite the series being an epitome of manliness, the series' most dangerous villain by far is Cipher, a cyberterrorist and computer goddess who is the Greater-Scope Villain of three films, and is the Big Bad herself of two other films. While the bad guys of other films are either local or regional threats, Cipher wants to bend the entire world to her will, and will stop at nothing to achieve it. Despite the heroes thwarting her plans, she is still at large and has not received any comeuppance whatsoever. | |

The Emperor's New Groove has a very comedic example: Yzma is this to Kronk, as both characters used to work with each other rather mischievously, but Kronk himself is proven to be far more saintly than Yzma is, who displays a rather limited sense of moral conscience, even towards him. | |

The Bible: In Judges 4, an Israelite woman named Jael invites Canaanite captain Sisera to take shelter in her tent. She gives him milk to drink, and then while he sleeps, she drives a nail through his temples. With his death, Israel is freed from Canaanite captivity. Judith does much the same thing to an invading general, going into his tent, then giving him strong drink and, once he's gone to sleep, beheading him. |

In about three of the Deception series of games (known as the Kagero series in Japan) features a female main character who is not an Action Girl by any stretch of imagination, but instead was given a castle full of traps, and a complementary Trap Master traits to go along with it. Chaining insane, bloody and gory combos with your ever-increasingly lethal and convoluted trap sequence is par for the course. The oddly-named Trapt (Kagero II: Dark Illusion in Japan) has a Princess doing this. | |

The Fairly OddParents!: Vicky is a huge example of this, especially given that, being a greedy babysitter, she often gives Timmy a miserable life, so it's no wonder why he's very reliant on his fairy godparents Cosmo and Wanda on handling his unfortunate situations with her. Princess Mandie (pronounced as man-die, and not like "Mandy"), who originated from the planet of Boudacia, is a much more dire one, especially given her highly threatening and unpredictably flirtatious personality. She plans to marry Mark Chang, a Yugopatamian prince, just so that she could shove him aside and rule over not only his home planet Yugopatamia, but also the entire universe, all by herself. Ironically, she met her eventual downfall when she had a brief conflict with Vicky (since both female characters have associations with Mark himself), to which the self-proclaimed "mightiest female warrior" got beaten into a pulp by a human being (something that Mark was grateful for). |

Game of Thrones: Though a demure young girl with no propensity for arms, and an openness to non-violent solutions at least on the outset, Daenerys Targaryen is directly and indirectly the possessor of the largest body count in the show. Arya Stark, though one of the youngest leads, is far deadlier and ruthless than all her brothers combined and most male characters. She willingly becomes an assasin, slaughters an entire family as payback for her brother and mother's death and is unflinching when it comes to getting rid of someone. |

Meta variant in The Jungle Book (2016); Kaa in this version is female and notably more competent than her 1967 film counterpart (though far less so than her book counterpart, who happens to be male — granted, Book!Kaa was basically the Yoda of snakes). Justified on a biological level, too — female snakes in real life do indeed tend to be bigger, stronger and more aggressive than their male counterparts. | |

The female vampires in We Are the Night also qualify. It is mentioned that the female vampires killed all of the male vampires two hundred years before the plot. They also vowed to never turn men into vampires again, so that there would only be women among them (although in an alternative scene the heroine of the film turns a man she loves into a vampire). In the book it is a bit inverted because it shows that the male vampires are much stronger than the female vampires. To the point that one vampire man fights three vampire women and the fight ends roughly in a draw. However, that doesn't change the fact that he is one of the last male vampires, and the others were almost all killed by the female vampires. |

As proven in the Ninjala Car, the cloak she wears is infused with the power of a god and demon and her Flamethrower alone destroyed half an army. In the final battle of Act 1, she's off against her former bully powered by the Unown while Professor Sycamore's Shadow and Specter are watching in horror as the fight gets brutal with stiff punches, bitch slaps and kicks to the groin all while Chloe roars out lines like, "GET ALL NICE AND SALTY FOR ME!" | |

Grace from El Goonish Shive used to have only two modes: complete pacifism and Unstoppable Flying Clawball Of Doom. However, this may have more to do with being a hybrid of a herbivore (squirrel) with a really monstrous alien while having rather limited experience.

Red Sonja is often touted as superior to any mortal man in combat and often has the skill to back up such a claim. In Issue #41 of the original Dynamite series, Sonja's friend Osin is discussing the legend behind the Blood Dynasty, the first weapon ever used to kill and how the first person who used it was a woman. Osin jokes that it is natural that a woman was the first killer in human history. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic in general gives that impression, since the majority of characters in the show — including the heroines, some of whom are the most powerful beings in this universe — are female, and male villains repeatedly get soundly beaten by them. There are some examples, though, that really stand out. While Shining Armor's power is already impressive in its own right (he was capable of creating a force field large enough to envelop the whole capital and powerful enough to repel an entire alien invasion), his wife Princess Cadance is much more powerful than him, as she's a pegasus who became an alicorn while he is just a unicorn. She is able to conjure even more powerful force fields than can protect the entire Crystal Empire and hold-off and hurt King Sombra and has large variety of other powerful magic based on crystals and The Power of Love. Also, during the Changeling invasion of Canterlot, the Mane Six (all mares) fare much better in battle against the attackers than Royal Guard stallions, who (as usual) fail to offer any meaningful resistance and get curb-stomped pretty easily. A secondary heroine named Daring Do (an Indiana-Jones-slash-Lara-Croft Expy) is visibly stronger and more skilled in combat than her arch-nemesis Doctor Caballeron or any of his (exclusively male) thugs. The only reason they pose any threat to her is because they attack in group, while Daring Do tends to act solo. In terms of villians however, this trope is subverted. King Sombra, Discord, The Pony Of Shadows and Lord Tirek are all among the most powerful characters in the show with all of them having Person of Mass Destruction- level powers and Antagonist Abilities that not even the female Alicorns and the Mane 6 can match. They need the Elements Of Harmony to stand a chance against them. Additionally, the female villians of the show are much weaker compared to them as well. Queen Chrysalis is quite powerful in her own right as she was able to defeat Princess Celestia, but she doesn't quite have the destructive capability of the aforementioned male villians. Once she loses her army, her threat level also becomes practically non-existent showing that in actuality she is not too impressive power-wise. Starlight Glimmer is a very smart and powerful Unicorn, who is able to cast extremely powerful and rare spells such as time-travelling and cutie-mark manipulation. However, at her core she is still a mortal Unicorn and as shown in Season 9, King Sombra is able to take control of her quite easily. Meanwhile, Cozy Glow is just a normal pegasus filly. She is all brains no brawn. Nightmare Moon, despite being a Mad God who is able to bring The Night That Never Ends, was merely the Starter Villain of the series and the Mane 6 took her out quite easily. The most powerful non-alicorn wizard in Equestrian history was a stallion named Star Swirl the Bearded, and when the main heroine Twilight Sparkle is fighting the Pony of Shadows, the latter remarks that she is merely "almost" as strong as her idol. However, this gets flipped in the series finale, when Lord Tirek — who previously was completely impervious to Star Swirl's attacks and became even more powerful by draining his magic — gets easily knocked to the ground by Twilight's magic blast during the climactic battle. |

Doctor Who: The first two adult companions were Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright. That said, while Ian had his awesome moments, Barbara was such a badass it's a common fan joke that the show could have been renamed "Why Barbara is Awesome", and no one would have noticed. Sara Kingdom. When she and Steven are fighting off two guards, she takes care of the one attacking her before stepping in to finish off the one attacking Steven, all without breaking a sweat. Also notable is Fourth Doctor companion Leela, a Noble Savage the Doctor sometimes struggled to physically restrain. Since their reappearance in 2010, the female Silurians have been portrayed as more aggressive than the males. Much like real-life lizards, then. |

Aglaia Lilich from Pathologic. Despite being neither crazy nor blood-thristy, unlike many other known Inquisitors, she is still more willing than any other character in the game to use extemely brutal means in order to stop Sand Plague. There is an extremly striking contrast between her and another powerful figure in the game — Alexander "General Ash" Block, who, unlike her is a deeply honorable officer and gentleman, and is incredibly humane for war veteran. | |

The trope is present in The Jungle Book and Kipling's other writings too: in Mowgli's Brothers, Mother Wolf is much more fiercely protective of Mowgli than Father Wolf, and in Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, the eponymous mongoose is more cautious around the female cobra Nagaina than her mate Nag. | |

First Generation Monsters: The female Rathian, for instance, is often introduced to players sooner than the male Rathalos, and Rathian does not fly around nearly as much or use her fire breath as vigorously. The rather unnerving and perpetually aggressive Diablos species, however, has the even scarier Black Diablos subspecies, which consists entirely of female Diablos who are in heat, in World it's usually Black Diablos who comes out on top on Turf Wars against normal Diablos. | |

In Ben 10: Omniverse, we have Princess Looma Red Wind, a member of the Tetramand species. In her culture, females can only marry those who defeat them in combat because females of the species are larger and stronger than the males. Looma, however, is the smallest Tetramand we see, possibly a runt. Despite this, she still cannot find a husband because no Tetramand can defeat her in combat. She becomes increasingly frustrated with this. | |

South Park: From "Moss Piglets" until "Splatty Tomato", Heidi Turner becomes Eric Cartman's Distaff Counterpart after dating Cartman for so long. However everyone seems to fear Heidi more than Cartman (including Cartman himself), since Heidi was much more intelligent than Cartman and could actually follow through with her threats. Luckily, she goes back to her Nice Girl self after breaking up with Cartman, but the fact she could have much more sway than Cartman is scary to think about: | |

Batgirl Cassandra Cain does have these issues, seeing Bruce as a surrogate father figure. She still qualifies since she is by far the deadliest combatant the Bat-family has ever known, and considers her first loyalty to be the symbol. However, she feels even more strongly about avoiding killing opponents than Bruce — she's just a better (and often more brutal) fighter. | |

The Legend of Korra follows suit like its predecessor series in regards to some of its female fighters. While the Red Lotus consists of anarchistic benders with unique and unusual abilities, Ming-Hua and P'Li are far more ruthless and vicious in battle than Zaheer and Ghazan. That being said, Ghazan has the most raw destructive force of the group while Zaheer has the most directly lethal application of bending shown onscreen. The Metal Clan has this, inevitably given that the badass genes are from Toph. Two of the males are Non-Action Guys and the other two are satellite characters to Suyin the matriarch in every fight scene. |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel: Women usually end up more vicious in similar roles than men, particularly vampires Darla and Drusilla. Note also that Angelus originally got in touch with his sadistic side just to impress Darla. There's a reason Slayers are always women. Dudes have traditionally stayed on the sidelines, from the Shadow Men all the way down to their descendants, the Watcher's council. |

Umar of Doctor Strange fame was initially introduced as being more dangerous than her brother and fellow Faltine, the Dread Dormammu. The writers quickly added the caveat that this was due to her feminine cunning rather than superior magical power. How far this cunning gets her is up for debate, but she's certainly less prone to tricks and manipulation. | |

Among the main and recurring characters of Diabolik, the two most dangerous are not the protagonist, a murderous thief known as the King of Terror, and inspector Ginko, the only man in the police who can match Diabolik and rightly feared by every criminal because he will arrest them, but their respective fiancees, Eva Kant and Altea: where Diabolik's revenge may be terrible, a sufficiently enraged Eva is positively sadistic (her epic revenge on her uncle for driving her mother to suicide was A Fate Worse Than Death, and after a while she started thinking about killing him because she was getting bored), and if she decides to kill you she'll make sure you suffer if she has the time; and where Ginko is constrained by the law and his own status as a police officer, Altea has no such limit, and when prompted to take lethal action by Ginko being in danger she will calmly ask her uncle the phone number of a hitman or, failing that, manipulate Diabolik into killing whoever is gunning for Ginko. Both of them are proper and nice ladies. | |

In XCOM, both the original game and remake, Mutons are the aliens' shock troopers, heavily-armed and armored Genius Bruisers. The remake also introduces Muton Berserkers, which are twice as tough, twice as fast, and fight exclusively in melee. XCOM 2 reveals that Berserkers are exclusively female, and makes them even larger than their male counterparts, suggesting either substantial sexual dimorphism or genetic tinkering on the Elders' part. | |

Combee double-subverts this. While the female is no stronger than the male, it is the only gender that can evolve into Vespiquen.

Opal Koboi, the main recurring villain in the Artemis Fowl series — other than the protagonist — follows this trope. Like Artemis, she's a greedy and manipulative scheme-happy evil genius; unlike Artemis, who has some moral principles, she's a homicidal maniac. Artemis eventually develops into more of an Anti-Hero; simultaneously, Opal goes even further off the deep end, eventually attempting to Kill All Humans and become an evil overlord of the fairies. | |

From "The Wallenstein Gambit", a short story set in the 1632 universe, after an American woman serving as his nurse helps ward off a coup attempt: Julie Mackay (nee Sims) and Gretchen Higgins (nee Richter) embody this trope. The former is a Friendly Sniper who was almost disturbingly cheerful about blowing off men's heads before she had graduated high school. The latter has become the leader of a powerful revolutionary movement, and figures prominently in the nightmares of much of Europe's nobility. She herself has yet to turn 30. By contrast Julie cries when she shoots deer. After all deer don't Rape, Pillage, and Burn. |
