We have heard so many times about superheroes, any celebrity would envy their popularity though it is fictional. But who knows at least five superheroines from TV series, movies, cartoons, comics and so on. Here I have the description of five superheroines whose presence in a movie or a cartoon was a sensation.

•    The third finctional character was created for popular TV series Buffy: The Vampire Slayer. Her name is Faith Lehane. The girls sas supernatural abilities and fights with such evil beings as vampires. The superheroine Faith Lehane was portrayed by Eliza Dushku. The story became so popular that a new comic book started developing the plot.
•    And one more time the character performed by Milla Jovovich from The Fifth Element movie. I think no comments are necessary – the film is known to anyone. A bold ginger is definitely the best.
•    And the last but not the least superheroine is Niobe from the Matrix: Reloaded and The Matrix: Revolutions. The character of Niobe is played by Jada Pinkett Smith.
