#InternationalWomensDay
Think twice before messing with these ladies. Welcome to MsMojo and today we’ll be counting down our picks for the Top 10 Lead Female Sci-Fi and Fantasy TV Characters. Subscribe►► Facebook►►

For this list, we’re taking a look at the strongest and most endearing women from sci-fi and fantasy television shows. We’ll only be including leading characters, so supporting characters, animated characters, or members of an ensemble, such as Daenerys Targaryen, are excluded.

In the past year we’ve seen our team and our audience grow rapidly. As such, we’ve decided to serve the long-running desire of some to see us produce videos on a wider set of topics. Indeed, while millions of women enjoy the content found on WatchMojo, the fact that 85% of our subscribers are men reflects the topics we tend to concentrate on within the video games, movie, television, music and pop culture categories. We considered either adding some of the MsMojo videos you have seen/will see on WatchMojo, but as we currently publish over an hour’s worth of content every day with 6 clips (and will be publishing more over time), we felt that launching a new channel made more sense, so that we can give our audience the other ideas that we overlooked or didn’t feel made sense to go on WatchMojo. Initially most of then topics we cover on MsMojo could have very well been published here, but over time there will be some that would have not (think Top 10 One Direction songs or Top 10 Yoga Exercises). While the new channel was indeed conceived by some of WatchMojo’s female staff and is branded as a women’s channel, we’re sure that a lot of men will like some of the videos inasmuch as women have come to enjoy WatchMojo as the content will be as varied as it’s been on WatchMojo. As such, once a week we will cross promote a MsMojo clip on WatchMojo, and as a whole new universe of viewers find out about MsMojo (whom may not have had an interest in WatchMojo’s topics), we will then publish one WatchMojo clip on MsMojo, too. Check it out, and if it’s your cup of tea, feel free to subscribe. Over time, we envision publishing as many videos on MsMojo as we currently do on WatchMojo!

We update DAILY with 4-5 Top 10 lists, Origins, Biographies, Versus clips on movies, video games, music, pop culture and more!
Can't believe Sarah Connor didn't make this list. Not even the honorable mentions. Both the Linda Hamilton (Terminator 2: Judgment Day) and Lena Headey (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) portrayals absolutely epitomized feminine badassery at its finest.
BUFFY IS NUMBER ONE!! I knew it (well, I was hoping for it). Sookie above Xena though? Hm. Xena is definitely top three!
Aeryn Sun from FARSCAPE!?!? Com'on!
Are you kidding? Janeway gave weapon creating to terrorists, helped a genocidal race commit genocide on the only race that could stop them and is responsible for her crew getting stranded in the first place. She is incompitent at best, evil at worst. She sucks!
How is Chloe Bennet, aka Daisy Johnson from Marvel's Agents of Shield, not on this list. She plays her character flawlessly. She in my opinion is also one of the hottest actresses. I can't not pull my eyes away from hers. They're eye magnets with me. Anyone else?
I loved Xena till it became gay! Then it lost it charm for me.
Once again mojo proves it is the intellectual ghetto of top ten lists.
I am pleased to discover Outlander, Orphan Black and Jessica Jones on this list.. they are awesome shows…
To all the people that whinges and complains about the list being in wrong order, and not having one other character in the list. You all idiots.. Go to watchmojo website… and find out how those list were made..
Then you can shut the fuck up 😛
Damn right Buffy better be #1!!!
Xena should be at least 2 if not number 1!!
why not 7of 9, Torres on Voyager. Starbuck or Boomer Battle star Galactica . Erin Grey character from Buck Rogers. Alias star Jennifer Gardner or was that show not sci-fi enough. Dark Angel beats nurse any day.
Sookie Stackhouse is a baddass!
SG1 – Samantha "Sam" Carter
Bionic Woman excluded? WTF!
TVD ?????
Yes! Buffy!
Ridiculous! How is Mary of the Scotts even Sci-Fi or Fantasy? Yes the series was crap but.. no. And Janeway over Seven of Nine? How about Star Trek's T'Pol or Kira Nerys?
Xena and Buffy number 1 and 2, you choose the order. Woderwoman yes but Supergirl or Catwoman no? And Andromeda's avatar Romy would beat all of these, every way!
You've never seen Farscape, have you?
No Max from Dark Angel?
What about the Charmed Ones?
How is Xena so far back and HOOOWW is pathetic crybaby Sookie higher on the list??? >_> Rood
Wonder Woman is too campy for my taste but sexy. Number 9 is just amazing as a character and series. Xena is a classic character too. Horny Sookie is in the list too?, not so sure. I have not seen Outlander, sorry. Captain Janeway is an interesting addition, a tossed bone to the Star Trek Fans?. Jessica Jones I have not seen, and Scully?. Buffy, yeah she was the original heroine back on TV, thank you.
No Starbuck from Battlestar Galactica?.
QUEEEEEENS ♥
PraureU is bullshit
Sorry PragureU is Bullshit
Xena is number 8? Fuck this list, it's time to riot.
xena should have really been nr 1 or 2 beside wonderwoman (2016)
Sookie Stackhouse? Seriously?
Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman should be higher. This was at a time when super skinny was the ideal as well.
Quite a few others could be on this list: Jessica Alba in Dark Angel, Eliza Dushku in Dollhouse, possibly Amanda Tapping as part of the Stargate team (unless you count that as an ensemble).
izombie deserves a spot
What about Samantha Carter from Stargate SG-1
Many of these were quite successful and loved by many which defeats the purpose of pretentiously elevating modern day all-female films casts in the name of feminism like somehow it is revolutionary or unprecedented.
It comes down to having a good story, great characters and keeping hate-based politics out of the conversation, people.
River Tam, Pvt Vazquez, Movie Buffy
Debra Messing in Mothman
Megan Fox Transformers
Oh my god please, Xena is better in all aspect, is number 1 ever ever
everyone keeps complaining about Xena, at least she's on the list. What about Jamie Somers? She didn't even get a honorable mention.
XENA = 1 .
Bo and emma swan made it
Thank you because
I didn't see that
No Samantha Carter? Missing a couple others too but this on is an obvious oversite
Susan Ivanova, Babylon 5 was way better than most on this list.
A truckload of empty Kleenx boxes places Xena @ 1for me, while the feminist side demands Segonie Weaver (spelled wrong ya ya) from Aliens @ 2.
Xena should be number one, you traitor.
'Olivia Moore' / i-Zombie should be 2. After 'Buffy'
Sookie Stackhouse is WAY too high on that list.
This pathetic list should be: Only women some idiot teenager has seen in 2015 on TV….
shadowhunters anyone ?
What happened to Ellen Ripley?
