Need Help with Female Comic Heroes

[elrhiarhodan]

Writing a fic where a character (female) strongly identifies with female comic book heroes who have secret identities. Can anyone give me a list or point me to a guide?

Many thanks!

Barbara Gordon was Bargirl until she was shot by the Joker, then she become Oracle. While she was Oracle, she was part of Birds of Prey, which included Dinah Lance who was Black Canary II (Dinah's mother was the first Black Canary.) Now Barbara has been sort of retconned back to Batgirl. This is a VERY sore subject among female comic book fans.

Supergirl has been Linda Dangers and Clark Kent's cousin (can't remember her name)

Wonder Woman has been Diana Prince on and off throughout the years.

The new Batwoman has an alter ego but I can't remember who she is.

As you can tell I love DC characters. There is a great blot called DC Women Kicking Ass. It is a great place to find out about women superheroes in comics and women fans of comics.
