Heroines of Legend: Fictional Universes - 20: Doreen Green (Squirrel Girl)



Strengths: Optimistic, extremely upbeat, energetic, bright, positive attitude, confident, friendly, bouncy, very funny, fun-loving, resilient, fearless, smart, resourceful, technical, well-prepared, thinks outside the box, savvy, creative, imaginative, selfless, loves children and animals, adores everyone and everything.


Weaknesses: A little naive, sheltered childhood, overly-positive and finds it hard to take things seriously - like other people might not take her seriously either, keeps insecurities hidden well, too well.


Powers/Abilities: Squirrel genetics: super strength, speed, agility, leaping, climbing, hearing, durance, retractable claws, sharp buck teeth, a bushy tail for balance, and she talks to squirrels. Hand-to-hand combat skills. Regenerative healing. As a civilian she has a college computer science degree and is far more intelligent than one expects.



Will: Strong.


Home/Place of Origin: Los Angeles, California. Moved to New Jersey. Then New York. Attends Empire State University. Family is from Canada.


Occupation: College student, babysitter, Avenger, Green Lakes Avenger, U.S. Avenger, American Intelligence Mechanics member.



Social Standing: Extrovert.


Ethnicity: Caucasian.


Sexuality: Heterosexual.


Other Trivia: Fact: called the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl for a reason, she is the most powerful Marvel character ever. Has defeated Thanos, Galactus, M.O.D.O.K., and Doctor Doom. More than once. Same applies to Wolverine (whom she may or may not have dated). Started off as a one-joke character in 
Marvel Super-Heroes #8: Winter Special in 1992, she proved to be popular in the modern era. Her unbeatable confidence and eternally sunny, upbeat outlook on life are refreshing in Marvel comics. Great at parody and meta humour, she can even beat Deadpool at his own game. Has been involved in all sorts of battles - she's been launched into space like it's no big deal. Life is an adventure; she goes with the flow with a smile. Additional points for "plus-size" body positive female representation. Her squirrel sidekick, Tippy-Toe, is her constant, faithful companion. All squirrels ally with her in whatever need, including beating bad guys. In The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl Beats Up the Marvel Universe, we see what happens when her ethics and regard for human life are absent in the form of her clone, Allene, who values her squirrel part far more than her human part. She's a soft, charming, cheerful, endearing, hilarious, colourful and infectious superheroine. Aliases: Iron Suit Squirrel Girl, and Squirrel Thor!
