[edit] The Borg Queen

The Borg Queen certainly qualifies as a "supervillainess" — but not, as far as I know, in "Live action TV". She only appears in the film First Contact. ChrisWinter 17:59, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Definitions

I have trouble with the phrase "[supervillainess characters] are a counterpart to the superheroine, just as the villain is the counterpart to the hero." Surely female villains can be a counterpart to male heroes and vice-versa? The phrase seems to imply that heroes and heroines only ever have villain counterparts of their own gender. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.17.53.21 (talk) 23:57, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
