Teen Girls With Powers

[humandoodad]

Can anyone think of a tv show, besides The Secret World of Alex Mack, that centered around a superpowered preteen/teen girl main character type premise? Cartoons count (though not Anime, because yeah, mllelaurel is right, there's a shittonne of that) .*

I'm coming up with nada and so I'm wondering, since I loved Alex Mack so much because it was a girl my age with superpowers. Also, her powers were hella awesome.

I can think of tons of preteen/teen guy shows offhand.


Books are easier to think of with powered girl protangonists.


*Editing on to clarify, as I am so bad at expressing myself without help (hi people in comments asking questions! Thank you! Sincerely!). I'm talking about shows that were aimed at older kids, preteens, teens. That the main character was a powered girl, the one that the narrative was specifically about. I'm forgetting the word for it. Even in ensemble casts, often there is one person who the story is most about, even if there are times when it focuses on other people.

I'm not sure that she's superpowered, but Kim Possible. She-Ra. Jem & The Holograms. *feels lame* The X-Men cartoon felt really female-centered to me, especially since the intro character to the series was Jubilee. The Powerpuff Girls. Um.

I keep wanting to say Clarissa Explains it All, but she wasn't superpowered so much as just super awesome.

Kim Possible! Totally.

I think the reason I fell in love with the X-Men cartoons (and thus X-Men) was because it started out with Jubes. A teen girl into a crazy superpower situation. I don't know if they did that on purpose to draw what girl audience they could, but it totally worked on me.

Heee. Yeah, Man, I was heartbroken when that show ended. I keep trying to put Veronica Mars into the catagory for similar reasons.

The first thing I thought of when I saw Alex Mack was Clarissa. Even though it doesn't fit. And I'd so forgotten about the awesomeness that was Alex Mack, which is sad.

I will have to ponder this further.

Also, I have a secret love for Kim Possible. Or at least I did for a while.

I watched Kim Possible religiously over one summer when I was home living with the parents.
