== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[Black Lagoon]]'' is almost the poster for this trope. While Mr. Chang and Dutch certainly are no slouches, compared to Revy, Balalaika, Roberta, Eda, Fabiola, Sawyer, Shenhua, and others, they might as well just toss their guns up and kick back.
Line 42 ⟶ 43:
* While the [[Birds of Prey]] (themselves an [[Amazon Brigade]]) have gone up against male villains, they're usually dangerous primarily due to their super powers or their resources and intellect. If someone is shown to be able to go toe-to-toe with the heroines - especially Black Canary - in hand-to-hand combat, ten-to-one says it's a woman. In fact, there are a surprising number of women out there who live only to prove themselves against [[Worthy Opponent|worthy foes]] in [[Blood Knight|personal combat]].
== Fan Works ==
* Even though statistically equal numbers of supers manifest among both sexes, most of the supers Alex Mack ends up working with in ''[[The Secret Return of Alex Mack]]'' are female. As the setting evolved into [[The Teraverse]] the gender-balance between "on-screen" supers eventually reached a more equal balance.

== Webcomics ==
* ''[[Marilith]]'' is less extreme, as Marshall does get his share of the spotlight, but Valentino, Marilith, and even the barely-trained Kimiko overshine him.
* ''[[Drowtales]]'' has several badass male characters and several non-badass females, but mainly features the [[Loads and Loads of Characters|loads and loads of]] amazons. Justified in that elven sexual dimorphism is the reverse of human: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130815031609/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?id=474 females are taller and stronger]. The dominant culture values fertility, strength in combat, and [https://web.archive.org/web/20180403153029/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?id=1071 honor].
