Going by comicbooks led by a Marvel lady, the answer would very easily be She-Hulk. She's the most successful solo female superhero Marvel currently has, judging by those numbers!
However, going by pop culture and outside media it's probably between the X-Women (Storm, Jean, Rogue) and Black Widow (thanks to the MCU). Sue Storm and Elektra also had there time in the spotlight back in the mid 2000's too. Though if I'm being honest, give Captain Marvel another 5-10 years and she'll easily be their undisputed main female, with movies, video game appearances, cartoons/merchandise and a higher solo issue count to back it up!

Done with DC. Can't handle the constant whiplash! Time to go on a hiatus!
I agree, both Lois Lane and Mary Jane are two names that transcend comic book culture and deserve their place in the realm of iconic characters PERIOD. You could probably say "Louis Lane" damn near anywhere in the world and people young and old would know exactly who you are talking about, that's a level of prominence that really cant be overstated.
1. Storm
2. Black Widow
3. Jean Grey
4. Captain Marvel
(I think the order from here could be argued)
5. She-Hulk
6. Wasp
7. Rogue
8. Scarlet Witch
9. Invisible Woman
10. Elektra/Gamora
Though expect Captain Marvel to take the top spot and Wasp to get into top 3 soon
20 years ago it was Storm, no contest.
But these days? I really have no idea.
All the most prominent women IMO are X-Men, which presents a Fox problem. But if they were willing to swallow those money dreams I'd have to agree with others who listed Rogue, Storm, and Jean. Any of those three would work just fine. Forced to chose? The Phoenix has it.

In the 40s it was ms America. (but marvel brought her back just to kill her off! DC brought wonder woman back at the same time and made her one of the big three. Good job marvel!)
In the 90s it was storm hands down.
Today it's black widow. Kids who never read comics all know who she is thanks to the movies and cartoons and toys. My little nephew who is to young to read comics knows who she is! There are black widow Halloween costumes at the store and I saw a few out last year trick or treating.

I'll just leave this here... http://seanhowe.tumblr.com/post/1270...e-her-the-most
Storm just hasn't made a big impression as a solo character. Her solo series sold poorly. Her appearances in movies negligible at best. Even Sue Storm had more to do in the Fantastic Four movies for Fox and those weren't as well done as most of the X-Men movies. The X-Men movies more or less turned into a spotlight for Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. Where's Storm's solo movie?
I'd say by the weight of the films, more casual fans know who Black Widow and Scarlet Witch are than Storm. They played fairly large roles in billion dollar box office movies. And there are far more filmgoers that comic book readers these days.
And I'd ditch that mumbo jumbo with Storm as a goddess. It doesn't make her relevant IMO. I really don't like that part about Wonder Woman either and it's why I prefer an every woman like Susan Storm Richards.
