Another poll! Another shameless plug! Another chance for you to express your opinion!

Earlier this year, CBR’s Comics Should be Good named the 75 most memorable moments in the past 75 years of DC Comics. While I agreed with many of the moments, I had concerns about the lack of moments focused on female characters. I also was very unhappy with the moment selected as “most memorable” because while it was certainly memorable, the female character had no agency in the moment.

At the time CBR was doing their countdown I threw together a quick list of a few “female centric” moments I thought could have been included. But now I’d like to go beyond that post and I’d like you to help identify the top 25 memorable (and if they’re kick ass even better) moments for female characters in the past 75 years of DC Comics.

You can read more over at the blog, but what I'm asking for today is for you to list off the moments you are would like included for the first round. I'll open up the list for voting later this week to narrow it down to 25. You can name as many as you wish, the only rule is that the female character must have some agency in the moment. So "no" to Supergirl dead in COIE, for example, but "yes" to a moment of her acting heroic. If you don't want to list your picks here, there are other ways to submit on the blog.

And for legality here's one of the moments I had on my quick list.

Oops - not perfect. Diana decapitates Medusa is Wonder Woman v2 #210. retro needs practice proofreading before posting.
