The top 10 greatest MCU Heroines

Last week the 2016 Marvel Cinematic Universe season kicked off with the premiere of Agent Carter season 2. It was two hours of great entertainment and I look forward to the rest of the season. It also made me want to do a little MCU-celebration. As a nerd the best thing to do is a top 10 list and in honor of agent Peggy Carter I'm going to list the 10 greatest heroines in the MCU.

Some would jokingly question whether there even are enough heroines in the MCU to make a full top 10 list, and while there is a point about the number of male heroes being much bigger than the number of heroines you can most certainly find enough badass ladies to make a list like this while still having some left overs, including one possibly controversial omission in this case.

For this list the basic criteria for getting on it is that the character has to be female, have appeared in an MCU movie, tv-series or short and is of the heroic nature. The ranking is based on the amount of appearances the character has within the MCU, how much character development they've had, how badass they are in general and some subjective personal bias (why even deny it?).

With that said, let's get to it, beware of spoilers. These are the top 10 greatest heroines of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
