Big Barda

When you’re born and bred to serve and protect Darkseid as the leader of his personal guard, the Female Furies, you deserve to be on this list. A member of the New Gods, Big Barda isn’t just one of the strongest superheroines; she’s one of the strongest DC comic book universe characters in general. As such, she possesses tremendous physical strength, and is a formidable combatant who is proficient in most forms of combat. Big Barda is almost invulnerable and virtually immortal, making her one of this list’s true heavy-hitters.

Despite leading Darkseid’s personal guard, she defects when she finds love, and later marries Mr. Miracle. Once away from Apokolips, she becomes the tank in the Birds of Prey and secures a place in the Justice League.

Besides her New God powers, she also has some pretty neat tools to use in combat, including Apokoliptian armor; Aero-discs, which she uses to fly; and her main weapon, the mega-rod, which has various purposes, including teleportation.

Even without these gadgets, Big Barda is a formidable and highly resilient warrior. She didn’t become the leader of the Female Furies because of her good looks.

Hopefully, if the rumored New Gods movie is made, she’ll be in it.
