DARK ANGEL


Speaking of dark angels! My favourite yet –JESSICA ALBA, she was the protagonist in Dark Angel, an American biopunk/cyberpunk science fiction television program created by James Cameron and Charles H. Eglee.

Alba portrayed an unforgettable female superhero in Max Guevera. As a genetically enhanced super soldier Max divides her life between evading her secret government Manticore creators, looking for other 'transgenic' fugitives and supporting the cyber social activist 'Eyes Only' in his efforts to protect the innocent and expose corruption.

Max is an intriguing female hero who never in two seasons of Dark Angel uses a gun. It is Max's ability to use her body as a weapon which significantly contributes to her status as superhero (the sexiest I’ve ever seen).

The power of Max Guevera is essential in the consideration of superheroes. She is proof not only that "girls kick ass" but significantly, that they can do it on their own terms and without guns.
