The Lady Liberators may just be Marvel’s first all-female super team – though it’s a dubious distinction in a way. Created in 1970 in the early days of popular second wave feminism, the team was a parody of the feminist rhetoric of the time and its members were revealed to be under the mind control of the villainous Enchantress by their debut story’s end.
However, the team didn’t die there. The concept was revived in 2008 for a story in Hulk in which She-Hulk organized a furiously powerful version of the Lady Liberators to take on Red Hulk.
In that incarnation, the team was led by She-Hulk and included Invisible Woman, Storm, Valkyrie, Thundra, Spider-Woman, Tigra, Black Widow, and Hellcat – a practical who’s who of Marvel’s most powerful superheroines.
