Raven Darkholme is a powerful shape-shifter known as Mystique whose mutant abilities have granted her an incredibly long life. It also gives her the ability to control her body at a sometimes molecular level, depending on her varied power levels.

Mystique's natural mutation only enhances her strength slightly, but she is capable of increasing her strength levels given her shape-shifted form, making her a dangerous threat when she isn't working for the good guys.

One of Wolverine's most dangerous enemies is Yuriko Oyama, who underwent an experimental cybernetic enhancement using her deceased father's work with adamantium to turn herself into the ultimate killing machine known as Lady Deathstrike.

7 The Formerly Heroic Power Princess Is Able To Lift Over 20 Tons

Zarda Shelton/Power Princess was a powerful member of the multiversal team known as the Squadron Supreme who found themselves exiled in the mainstream universe to frequently become adversaries of the Avengers, despite their heroic status.

While the original Power Princess had her power levels drained by another alternate version known as Warrior Woman, Mephisto recently created a powerful new version of Zarda to work with the Squadron Supreme of America that has the same power levels as the original. This makes her a match for most enhanced heroes.

Doctor Octopus once allied himself with a woman named Angelina Brancale who fell in love with the villain after he created advanced hard-light virtual reality technology that allowed Angelina to become an entirely different person.

As Stunner, Angelina was in her "dream body" which allowed her to serve as Doctor Octopus' enforcer due to her increased strength and durability. This meant she could now lift over 50 tons and threaten powerful heroes like Spider-Man as long as her VR rig kept her Stunner form powered up.

The powerful woman known as Superia was originally a brilliant geneticist named Dr. Diedre Wentworth who used her own experiments to give herself powers after she organized other female super-villains into the group known as the Femizons.

She eventually used her strength and skills to work with groups like H.A.M.M.E.R. and A.I.M., and she also served as a fake Ms. Marvel on Norman Osborn's second roster of Dark Avengers, establishing her in a similar Class 50 strength level that allowed her to hold her own against nearly all of the New Avengers.

While the powerful character known as Bloodaxe may not be as well-known as some of the other female antagonists discussed today, she has proven in repeated battles with Thunderstrike that she has the strength to go toe-to-toe with a Class 100 hero like Thor.

Skurge the Executioner's enchanted axe transformed Eric Masterson/Thunderstrike's potential love interest Jackie Lukus into the powerful Bloodaxe, though her identity was disguised due to her hulking form and blood red skull mask.

2 Betty Ross Has Exhibited Hulk-Like Strength As The Harpy

While Betty Ross may be better recognized as Bruce Banner/Hulk's frequent love interest, she has also found herself transformed a few times over the years to become both a deadly antagonist and one of his closest allies as gamma-irradiated characters like Harpy and Red She-Hulk.

While her time as Red She-Hulk was short-lived, Betty has become the Harpy on multiple occasions after exposure to gamma radiation. She recently returned as the immortal Red Harpy following her death and resurrection, which grants her incredible hulk-like strength when in her monstrous form.

Xenith first appeared as a member of the heroic Star Masters before she turned on the Shi'ar Empire and was imprisoned by her cousin Gladiator. She was later freed and welcomed onto a new Imperial Guard by the conquering ruler Vulcan, who gave her free reign to use her incredible strength against his enemies in service to his new Shi'ar Empire.
