	~~Criteria: See~~ comic books. ~~Individual women granted with extranormal powers~~, ~~usually by cosmic rays~~, ~~or mutations~~, ~~or freakish accidents ... Ideally these women use their powers for good! This list will~~ be ~~heavy on alternative forms (i.e., lots of non-~~books).		Superheroes are most associated with comic books & manga. However, the [[superhero genre]] spawns virtually all media: movies, TV series, text novels, games, and other works may all be spawned from comic books or created originally in some other media.

	~~Just because you fight and~~ are ~~a hero~~, ~~doesn't mean you're~~ a ~~super-hero. You have to have~~ supernatural or superhuman powers ~~of some sort~~ to ~~be an actual super-hero~~. ~~That's the difference between~~, ~~say~~, ~~Gabrielle~~ and ~~Xena. Or between Brenda Starr~~ and ~~Wonder Woman~~. ~~Between Ripley in~~ the ~~"Alien" movies~~ and ... and .~~.. Xena~~.		Female superheroes, sometimes called superheroines, are individual women granted with extranormal powers, usually by cosmic rays, or mutations, or freakish accidents. Superheroes use their powers for good; see also [[Female supervillains]].

			Merely being extraordinarily skilled, trained, or talented, does not make one a superhero; only supernatural or superhuman powers make a superhero. Compare [[Brenda Starr]] to [[Wonder Woman]], or [[Ellen Ripley]] to [[Supergirl]]. [[Xena]] and [[Gabrielle]] are also examples: Xena has some deific intervention, some magical artifacts, and a lot of training and natural gifts.

			Common superhero power sources include:
			*[[mutation]]
			*[[magical or alien artifacts]]
			*[[intervention by the gods]] - curses, gifts, gods watching over the person, etc.
			*[[destiny]]
			*[[alien or lost race powers]] - People with alien or lost race powers, such as Wonder woman or Superman, look human and may be normal among their own people, but have -- relative to humans -- superpowers.
			*[[accidental superpowers]] - People who get electrified just as some phenomena is happening, or people who fall into vats of toxic substances, and so on, have accidental superpowers.

			These may be combined: Someone may accidentally stumble upon a holy relic, or some accident may cause them to "mutate", or mutation or whatever might be the instrument of some god or gods or destiny.
