    Default Does Marvel Not Have Enough Good Female Villains?

    Something I've been thinking for a while is that when it comes to iconic female villains in Marvel, you can probably name the good ones on one to two hands. Enchantress, Moonstone, Mystique, Madame HYDRA, Nebula, Cassandra Nova, Typhoid Mary, Sin and Lady Deathstrike. Pretty much any other has shifted to good at some point (including a couple of those above). Compared to male villains that's not that great. So I was thinking if it's difficult to craft a well done, original female villain or not. DC might have this problem too but one can say at least with the Batman ones they're far more iconic to general audiences except probably Mystique thanks to Jenn Lawrence. So what do you guys and gals think?

    If their idea of creating a good female villain is the Queenpin Black Cat, I can see why they might have some issues in that area.

    They barely have good female heroes outside of the mutant office and Sue storm. Dont wonder about villains

    If u dig deep I think they do

    But the idea I have to really look for them may say enough

    Madam hydra
    Typhoid mary
    Enchantress
    Hela
    Moonstone
    Emma frost

    These are imo great but they and others could be used more

    For me marvel has an over reliance on thanos and a handful of other male villains

    I'd say their greatest and most successful female villain so far is Carol Danvers (Captain Marvel). I never read Civil War 2 but BOY did I hear about her unprecedented rampage of estrogenic tyranny!!!
