15 Leading TV Superheroes from DC and Marvel
7. Luke Cage (Luke Cage)
Similar to the Punisher, Luke Cage brings a lot of social injustices to light. Although, dissimilarly, Luke Cage has the superpowers to dust off the bullets and punches criminals want to throw at him.
He has superhuman strength, stamina for days, and his skin is as hard as a rock, but the systematic racism and its repercussions that he fights every day still takes a toll on him.
8. Daisy Johnson (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D)
Daisy Johnson, also known as Quake, has knee shaking superpowers and a genius-level hacker ability to go with it.
Her powers are also pretty self-explanatory in that she creates seismic waves that produce earthquakes. She becomes a leader in her own right through the creation of the Secret Warriors and thrived in her new role until she returned to S. H.I.E.L.D.
9. Wally West (The Flash)
The Flash’s Wally West, contrary to his name Kid Flash, is a young adult (at 18) who is actually faster than his mentor.
Although he didn’t get his powers in the same way that Barry (the Flash) did, he still contains the speed force within his cells and can harness at a greater rate than Barry can. Kid Flash balances Barry’s more serious attitude with hilarious jokes and comebacks during his battles.
10. Cisco (The Flash)
Cisco, also known as Vibe, is also a member of Team Flash. He also happens to be a tech genius. Cisco has the same knack for humor that Kid Flash shows but his jokes never stop.
He has a female counterpart in Gypsy, a woman from another world who has his same powers but can harness them better than he can so far. The extent in which she can use her powers, such as vibing locations and opening portals between worlds, gives the audience an exciting peek into what’s in store for their favorite techie.
11. Robbie Reyes (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D)
Robbie acts as the host of the infamous, Ghost Rider. Yes, folks, the same Ghost Rider who was inside of the infamous Johnny Blaze. Ghost Rider is a demonic spirit that gives its host superhuman strength, speed, and healing.
Robbie can also create a “hellfire” that damages human souls. Although Ghost Rider took a reprieve from Robbie when he was heading down to hell and jumped into Mack, the two made a new deal and now they’re one again.
12. Vixen (Vixen)
Vixen is a young woman from Africa, whose parents were murdered by the local violent and greedy villains. Ever since she inherited her family’s totem, she now has access to any animal she wants.
She can speak and communicate with other animals and take on their abilities. For example, she can take the speed of a cheetah and mix it with the strength of an elephant. A huge part of her hero journey revolves around coming to terms with her roots and trying to achieve her goals of becoming a big-time fashion designer.

I’m laughing hysterically at this because it started with BC, lol. Not when she’s played by mediocre at at best actresses and was so unimportant she got killed off the show. Although that’s mostly the actress’s fault. BC as number one or even on this list. That’s hilarious, lol.
How Hawkgirl and Laurel’s BC is even on this list, I don’t know. That’s just insulting to the rest of these heroes. YIKES.
