FF #103: PAT PATRIOT

 Pat Patriot, a fairly basic lady crimefighter, lasted ten issues of DAREDEVIL COMICS before being given the gate. But she had some fairly dynamic fights in that short run.

FF #102: NAMORITA

Now let's see here-- Namor rescues a girl whom he thinks is human (she's actually his cousin NAMORITA), claims that he's not moved by her looks ("the years of callow innocence"), but remarks upon her "pink and vibrant" flesh and calls her "fair Nereid" as he gives her mouth-to-mouth. Yeah, maybe not a total misunderstanding on Namorita's part

FF #101: MS. MARVEL (1977)

FF #100: LIBERTY BELLE (1973)

 One-shot Charlton heroine appeared in an issue of E-MAN, with art by the peerless Steve Ditko.




FF #99: KNOCKOUT

 

One of the best male-female fights in comics appears when Knockout makes her smashing introduction to Superboy in issue #2 of the hero's magazine-- even if the illo does show the amazon swinging a right cross, which somehow sends Superboy flying off in the wrong direction.
