Line 12:
* [http://www.thebeastlegion.com/issue-07-page-9-her-power/ Fyre] from''[[The Beast Legion]]"
* ''[[The Continentals]]''' gender bending adventress Lady Fiona Fiziwigg. This men's suited, top hatted, two fisted, gun wielding, say and do as I damned well please agent in her majesty's service is more distressing damsel then damsel in distress as she investigates a series of brutal "mangling" murders uncovers a tangled web of intrigue, adventure and murder with her Continental Operative partner Jeffrey Tiffen Smythe in victorian England. Find it [http://www.webcomicsnation.com/moniquem/continentals/series.php/ here].
* Oasis in ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'', though not an especially heroic one (which is to say, she is [[Ax Crazy|completely psychotic]]). MayIt behelps athat [[Robotshe Girl]]doesn't orneed ato formerworry [[Tykeabout Bomb]]being orkilled, since she's {{spoiler|a vengefulself-aware spiritsatellite thator possessessomebody randomtrapped passers-byon a satellite or a brain on a satellite or something like that}} orwho more{{spoiler|possesses thanclones of a particular human, but only one clone at a time}}.
** Kusari is as much an Action Girl as Oasis, and {{spoiler|also possesses clones of herself - but she can possess multiple bodies at once, which lets her be}} {{supersecretspoiler|both Kusari and Sasha at the same time.}}
* Zeetha from ''[[Girl Genius]]'' is a warrior woman from a hidden, jungle city which might possibly have a matriarchal society (this is speculation). She appears to be a stronger warrior than any of the [[Badass Normal|humans]] in the comic, although she is {{spoiler|beaten in combat by the superhuman Baron Wulfenbach}}.
** There's also that {{spoiler|Baron Wulfenbach}} is perhaps the most badass individual on that planet. Really, losing to him is no shame for ''anyone''.
*** That, and [[Word of God]] has confirmed he spent a few years amongst her people {{spoiler|and is her father, though neither has realized that last bit.}}
** The title character is a proficient in making and ''using'' [[Death Ray|death rays]] and can hold her ground with a sword, but lacks the physique of a real action girl. Fortunately, Zeetha's working on fixing that.
* Haley from ''[[The Order of the Stick|Order of the Stick]]'' is a high-level chaotic good thief. Her archery is unmatched in the comic. [[Pronoun Trouble|Maybe]] [[Ambiguous Gender|Vaarsuvius]], too.
** In [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0722.html this comic], she defeats a half dozen guards singlehandedly with a weapon she's not even known to be proficient in, in a very short time span.
** Miko might have been a stick-up-the-butt [[Knight Templar]], but this is a woman that managed to solo the Order twice, defeated a minimum 15th level, artifact-enhanced cleric and can behead people with her feet.
Line 24 ⟶ 25:
* Radical, in ''[http://gamingguardians.com/ Gaming Guardians]''. Her [[Shape Shifter|shapeshifting]] [[Evil Twin]], Ultima starts out as a [[Dark Action Girl]], but (unusually for the trope) does a [[Heel Face Turn]] later -- [[Karma Houdini|after having put Radical through seven kinds of hell]] ({{spoiler|including fathering Radical's child while disguised as Randarch, and then causing her miscarriage}}).
* [[Garanos]] from [http://www.garanos.com the webcomic of the same name].
* Juno from ''[httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20190918132321/http://starcrossd.net/ Starcross'd Destiny]''.
* Virtually every female character in ''[[Errant Story]]'' qualifies, though special consideration goes to Sara, the resident warrior-monk. ''Time-mage'' warrior-monk.
* Jane Mighty (formerly Iron Jane) from ''[[Everyday Heroes]]''. She introduced herself to her future husband by [[Agony of the Feet|kicking him in the head]].
Line 59 ⟶ 60:
* Scorpio, Taurus, Aquarius and Sagittarius on the hero side of [[Zodiac (webcomic)|Zodiac]]. On the villain side, the female ones are more crafty and seem to prefer to act behind the lines (such as Slaver and Legion), but Nightmare, Basilisk and Razor are straight examples.
* In ''[[Cucumber Quest]]'', Cucumber's little sister Almond takes swordplay lessons and eagerly volunteers to go on the quest in his place. She later pulls off a [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment to save Cucumber.
* Comic ''[[Hard Graft]]'' features all round actiongirl (and madwoman) Bernadette Montez.
