* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': In ''Comicbook/TheAmazingSpiderManNickSpencer'', Janice Lincoln, the second Beetle and daughter of Tombstone, creates a new Sinister Syndicate to provide a support network for women in the often misogynistic world of crime. The other members are White Rabbit, Carolyn Trainor (the second Dr Octopus, now going by Lady Octopus), Francine Frye (the second Electro), Elaine Colt (Scorpia), and a new DistaffCounterpart of Trapster called Trapstr, not all of whom really care about gender politics as much as she does.

* ComicBook/TheCat: Mal Donalbain, the first issue's villain, plans to use the Cat suits, Dr. Tumolo's [[NinetyPercentOfYourBrain enhancement process]] and his own [[HypnoTrinket Will-Nullifier collars]] to create an army of physically powerful, mentally enslaved women. He directly describes them as an "army of amazons". The Cat stops him before it can become reality, though.

Added "Sleepless" Example to Works List

* ''ComicBook/{{Sleepless}}'': Overlaps with BodyguardBabes -- Princess Rellen's personal guard is a set of pretty blonde triplets from her native Edtland — Elda, Frende, and Ibette. They're all competent fighters (with Ibette making it to the penultimate round of the Knight's tournament) and itching for a brawl (as evidenced by their excitement when they get to jump into the fray with [[spoiler: some traitorous Sleepless Knights and Lord Otranto]]).

* ''ComicBook/AForce'', a team launched in 2015, is an [[http://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/stg.ign.com/2015/02/a-force-cover-d34a8-720x1092.jpg all-female version of The Avengers.]]
* The Airmaidens, the elite personal squadron of Valkyrie in ''ComicBook/{{Airboy}}''.
* ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}}'':
** In ''Asterix and the Secret Weapon'', the Romans raise a legion of women to fight the indomitable Gauls, taking advantage of the Gaul's rule that they WouldntHitAGirl. They do seem to have a problem understanding the words "order" and "discipline."
** In ''Asterix and the Griffin'', the Sarmatian women are fierce warriors who leave their menfolk to run the village while they're away. See below under RealLife.
* A short-lived offshoot of Marvel's ''ComicBook/TheAvengers'', the Lady Liberators; but they were secretly being [[MoreThanMindControl manipulated]] by the Enchantress.
* ''Battlefields: Night Witches'', by Creator/GarthEnnis, is a fictionalized account of the [[UsefulNotes/SovietRussiaUkraineAndSoOn USSR's]] "Night Witches" (see Real Life, below) during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII.
* ''ComicBook/BirdsOfPrey'' is generally an all women team lead by ComicBook/{{Oracle}}, although Hawk of ''ComicBook/HawkAndDove'' served as the team's first male member.
* The ComicBook/BlackPanther's [[PraetorianGuard Royal Guards]], the Dora Milaje. These gals have fought such highly trained and powerful individuals as ComicBook/BlackWidow and ComicBook/{{Storm|MarvelComics}} to a standstill.
* ''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica'': During his run, Creator/TaNehisiCoates introduced the Daughters of Liberty, a coalition of heroines who existed as far back as the 1800s (where they were led by Harriet Tubman) to defend American ideals. The current line-up includes such notables as [[ComicBook/Agent13 Sharon Carter]], ComicBook/InvisibleWoman, ComicBook/SpiderWoman, [[ComicBook/DaughtersOfTheDragon Misty Knight]], ComicBook/{{Mockingbird}}, [[ComicBook/WhiteTiger Ava Ayala]] and Agatha Harkness.
* ''Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine'': The Amazastians in "Green-Eyed Monster". Amazastians are the humanoid natives of Amazastia. All members of this race are stunningly attractive women with physical ages of eighteen to twenty, a fact which mystifies their own scientists. After victory in battles, they would always massage their bodies in scented oils. The Tenth Doctor enlists Amazastian mercenaries led by Phalia to rescue Rose Tyler from the acolytes of Iagnon on Iagnos. It is possible, however, that they are merely the product of [[FeverDreamEpisode a fever dream on Rose's part]].
* ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'': Another Marvel group, the Femizons, from a future militant LadyLand society.
** ''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica'': When that timeline was erased, a present-day [[DoesNotLikeMen misandrist]] named Superia tries to create her own Femizons a few centuries early by gathering supervillainesses and female {{Mad Scientist}}s to repopulate the world, right after she sterilizes everyone else, of course.
* The ''Comicbook/MarvelNOW'' relaunch of ComicBook/TheDefenders, ''Fearless Defenders,'' features Valkyrie putting together a team of super-women to be her new Valkyrion, at one point including [[ComicBook/NewMutants Dani Moonstar]], Misty Knight, Hippolyte, and [[BadassAdorable Annabelle.]]
* ''ComicBook/{{Femforce}}'' from AC Comics, which seems to exist mainly as fanservice for its [[AuthorAppeal creators]] and readers.
* The much less heroic than usual version of Wonder Woman in the ''ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}}'' timeline has an elite group of female warriors called the Furies who serve her in her conquests. The group includes this timeline's ComicBook/{{Artemis}}, ComicBook/WonderGirl, [[ComicBook/{{Hawkman}} Hawkgirl]], ComicBook/{{Huntress}}, ComicBook/{{Cheetah}}, ComicBook/{{Starfire}}, and ComicBook/{{Vixen}}.
* The Star Sapphire Corps from ''Franchise/GreenLantern''. Subverted in the fact that the Star Sapphire's version of Ion or Parallax, Predator, is male.
* In ''ComicBook/ImmortalIronFist'', Tiger's Beautiful Daughter is the boss of one of these in her home town. [[spoiler:The Army of Thunder also counts -- while Lei Kung the Thunderer definitely helped train them and they get their name from him, every single member of the Army is a woman.]]
* By the end of ''Comicbook/JusticeLeague3000'', the team comprises Supergirl, Wonder Woman, a female Batman (that's the name she uses), a female Green Lantern and Flash, and Fire and Ice from ''Comicbook/JusticeLeagueInternational''.
* The Desert Wraiths, a sect of warrior women in ''ComicBook/LadyMechanika''.
* In the Dynamite Entertainment ''ComicBook/LadyRawhide'' mini-series, Lady Rawhide takes on a gang of female vigilantes called the Sisters of the White Rose, who were inspired by Lady Rawhide but use far bloodier methods.
* The ''Series/TheManFromUNCLE'' comic book had an unrelated backup feature, ''ComicBook/JetDream''. [[GenderFlip Gender-flipped]] Expies of ComicBook/{{Blackhawk}}, Jet and her international teammates Marlene, Petite, Cookie and (sigh) Ting-a-Ling were Hollywood Stunt-Girls who also moonlighted as a crack team of all-girl aviators, spies, and commandos.
* A villainous example: Darkseid's Female Furies in ''ComicBook/NewGods''.
* Katarina Dante's pirate crew and Monique le Fanu's vampires (who now presumably follow Lulu Romanov) in ''ComicBook/NikolaiDante''.
* The obscure photocomic series ''ComicBook/NovaGirls'' has six women in this team, consisting of [[TheLeader Lira, the Chief of Operations]], [[TheLancer Dobrah, the Personnel Director, Kopeck, the Assistant Manager]], [[TheSmartGuy Rial, the Systems Analyst]], [[TheBigGuy Rupiah, the Security Exchanger]], and [[TheHeart Haler, the Currency Coordinator]]. There's also an AI aboard their ship named Holo-Hank 500. There are also two rival Amazon Brigades named the Corporate Raiders, and the Killer Secretaries.
* ''ComicBook/NthManTheUltimateNinja'' featured the KGB Swallows, a team of attractive female Soviet agents trained in both espionage and combat.
* The Black Dahlias from ''ComicBook/TheOrder2007'', who Veda described as "Tim Burton sponsors a women's golf team".
* ''ComicBook/RatQueens'' has this in the eponymous adventuring party; the rival party "The Peaches" are almost this but for Allan, their smidgen thief.
* The Sisters of Blood in ''ComicBook/RequiemVampireKnight'' are an all-female order of [[NunTooHoly vampire nuns]] charged with guarding {{Dracula}}'s RoyalHarem.
* Another Marvel villain named the Mandrill (who has fought ComicBook/ShannaTheSheDevil, the Thing, ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}, and many other heroes) uses female henchmen exclusively, as he has the mutant power to control them using pheromones. ([[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain He makes no secret of his misogyny]], and has often used them as {{Sex Slave}}s.)
* ''ComicBook/SinCity'' has the Old Town girls. They've teamed up a lot with the male protagonists but there are male-less Old Town stories out there. Also keep in mind that these girls are tough enough that both the cops and the mafia are afraid to mess with them.
* The ''ComicBook/SisterhoodOfSteel'', from the comic of the same name.
* In ''Comicbook/TheAmazingSpiderManNickSpencer'', Janice Lincoln, the second Beetle and daughter of Tombstone, creates a new Sinister Syndicate to provide a support network for women in the often misogynistic world of crime. The other members are White Rabbit, Carolyn Trainor (the second Dr Octopus, now going by Lady Octopus), Francine Frye (the second Electro), Elaine Colt (Scorpia), and a new DistaffCounterpart of Trapster called Trapstr, not all of whom really care about gender politics as much as she does.
* The Grapplers were super-strong wrestler/criminals who appeared primarily in ''ComicBook/TheThing''.
* ''ComicBook/TheTransformersCombinerWars'' introduced The Torchbearers, who became the first all-female combiner, Victorion.
* In the "X-Tinction Agenda" crossover storyline ''[[ComicBook/XMen Uncanny X-Men]]'' books, artist Jim Lee depicted the law enforcement of Genosha as being mostly female and incredibly hot.
* ''ComicBook/WildCATSWildStorm'': The original Coda are an all-female warrior society on Khera, forming essentially a political party among the governing factions of that planet. Zealot started her own version of the Coda on Earth when she was stranded on the planet. On Khera the group was based in tradition and honor yet became corrupted by politics and hatred of the High-Lord caste, while on Earth the group became bloodthirsty mercenaries who would kill anyone for money.
* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'':
** ''ComicBook/{{Wonder Woman|1942}}'': While the Golden Age Amazons had to stay on Paradise Island and not fight save in self defense outside of their champion the Holliday Girls had no such restrictions and fought Nazis and alien invasions alike.
** The actual Amazons, natch.
** Villainy Inc., who are an all-female group of enemies of Wonder Woman that team up together.
* The recently formed Sisterhood of Mutants in ''ComicBook/XMen''.
* The 2013 (adjectiveless) ''ComicBook/XMen'' comic features an all-female X-Men team: Storm, Rogue, Kitty Pryde, Rachel Summers, Psylocke and Jubilee (with Monet showing up at times). It also applies to the villains - Lady Deathstrike, Enchantress, Typhoid Mary, and Karima.
* Any armed group [[{{Gendercide}} by default]] in ''ComicBook/YTheLastMan''. The best example is probably the IDF special forces led by Alter; the actual Daughters of the Amazon are fairly disorganized and gang-like.
* The eponymous ''ComicBook/ZodiacStarforce'' is comprised of teenage girls - par for the course for a MagicalGirlWarrior team.
* Literal amazons appear in the sequel to ''ComicBook/ZombiesVsRobots'', which is named ''Zombies Vs. Robots Vs. Amazons''.
* In the sixth volume of the chilean comic ''Zombies en la Moneda'', the government [[spoiler: by Augusto Pinochet zombie]] organizes a series of squads of zombie hunters made up only of women.
