She-Roes: Ass Kicking Superhero Babes

It's a bird! It's a plane! Even better, it's a hot girl in a skimpy outfit! Whether these ladies are fighting crime or playing the oh -so sinister villain, these supernatural, super strong, super sexy sheroes look so good doing it.  Here 's SheWired's list of hottest "She-Roes!"

Halle Berry - Catwoman (Catwoman)

To put it nicely, the movie wasn't the best it could be. But to make up for it, we got to leer at Halle Berry in black leather acting like a sultry feline. Whoever decided that having cat-like qualities constituted being a superpower clearly did not go out to West Hollywood on a Saturday night, where the real claws come out. One of the few highlights of the movie was eyeing Halle's ability to work a whip, and- -well... that's pretty much it.

Angelina Jolie - Lara Croft (Tomb Raider)

Angelina Jolie is no stranger to wielding heavy machinery, so picking her to play this gamer favorite wasn't hard. The character 's just about hand-crafted to highlight Jolie's merits as she portrayed the intelligent, beautiful, and athletic Lara Croft for both film versions. With her tight t-shirt, short shorts, and combat boots, the video game character come to life was a lesbian wet dream.

Jennifer Garner - Elektra (Daredevil and Elektra)

For her first film role, Jennifer Garner left her business suit behind to play international assassin Elektra Natchios, opposite future hubby Ben Affleck in Daredevil. Forgoing her usual CIA-issued gun and picking up a couple deadly sais, the Alias hottie proved she could kick ass, while her ass looks really good doing it. Her role in Daredevil was such a success, Garner reprised the role playing her in the spin-off.

    
Famke Janssen - Jean Grey (X-Men)

Dutch actress Famke Janssen is a chameleon when it comes to playing an array of roles on TV and film. Whether it embodying the manipulative transsexual life coach Ava on Nip/Tuck or playing a spoiled trophy wife for the thriller, House on Haunted Hill, Janssen is believable in any character, including the gifted telekinetic Jean Grey in the X-Men movie trilogy. With her piercing eyes and striking hair stare, Jean Grey's looks were just as intense as her powers. Janssen was also set to guest star in the never-picked-up series spinoff of The L Word. Unfortunately for us, we'll never see if she could rock an orange jumpsuit.
