What, no Ocelot Lady? Someone just didn't appreciate other jungle cats.... That would be Anne Francis in a concrete jungle as Honey West...  I forgot to include Rima, The Jungle Girl anyway (based on Green Mansions) that DC put out in the '70s. |

Funny enough, for as short-lived as Rima was, as a comic, she still made it into the All-New Super Friends Hour. That was better than Black canary achieved and she was a JLA member! Love Honey West, even if the stuntwork couldn't compare to the Avengers. Great character and Francis played her well. She just needed a Brian Clemens in charge of the show. |

Sun Girl  She is a favorite of mine and I read about half of it's adventures and I was impressed by her in many ways more than one. I don't want to go in great details and all that; but her costume is a favorite of mine and I was told that Veronica Lake was an inspiration of her general body shape and hairstyle.

That's correct and I'm pretty much a fan of all these characters that you posted a picture of except that I don't know anything about Golden Girl and that's correct and Marvel did a good job attracting both male and female readers and targeting blondes because they rarely buy them. Thanks for pointing that out. |

Thanks for pointing that out. Golden Girl was Betsy Ross, Captain America's friend who later became his crimefighting partner after Bucky was wounded.  |

Spring-Heeled Jack wasn't a superhero...he was a figure of terror, like a vampire, preying on pedestrians. He was an urban legend (which may have had some basis in actuals predators, that got exaggerated) that got turned into Victorian Penny Dreadfuls. If you want to go into the Victorian era, for superhero ancestors, you can look at Sherlock Holmes, Allen Quatermain, Fantomas, the Nyctalope, Arsene Lupin, Raffles, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Zorro, Tarzan, John Carter, Sar Dubonotal, Dr Syn, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, the Invisible Man, Fantomas, etc. They borrowed from myth and folklore and spawned the pulp magazines of the 20th Century, which begat the comic book adventurers of the 30s and 40s and the superheroes who followed. You forgot this guy...  Superhero? Marvel thinks so. I'd definitely say the Jungle heroes are Superheroes by any definition you come up with, unless you specifically go out of your way to exclude them. |

Nice list, I would love for pictures to go with them.  Well, I did make a collage of the superheroines of 1941:  |
