[Solution] Fighting for Representation – 13 June 2022

Each clue gives a description of a superhero (or the occasional villain). Those of you who are familiar with comics may recognize that there are multiple possible answers for each line.

As the title hints, and the first letters of each clue spell out explicitly, THEY’RE ALL WOMEN. With this information (as well as the enumerations of the hero names at the bottom, it is possible to uniquely identify each character:

  • STORM (1)
  • EMMA FROST (9)
  • SUPERGIRL (5)
  • THE BIONIC WOMAN (6)
  • JEAN GRAY (4)
  • ELASTIGIRL (7)
  • WASP (2)
  • HARLEY QUINN (10)
  • WONDER WOMAN (4)
  • BATGIRL (4)
  • SHURI (4)
  • SCARLET WITCH (6)
  • SHE-RA (3)
  • JESSICA JONES (10)

Using the numbers in parentheses from the enumerations at the bottom, we can index into the names of the characters (taking the first letter of Storm, the ninth letter of Emma Frost, etc.) This gives the phrase STRONG AND GREEN. Keeping with our theme of cluing female heroes, this gives us the answer SHE-HULK, with her show coming out this August on Disney+.
