DC Super Hero Girls or DC Superhero Girls (in various countries) is an American super hero action figure franchise created by DC Comics and Mattel that launched in the third quarter of 2015.

Premise

At Super Hero High School, well-known DC heroes, both male and female, attend challenging classes and deal with all the awkwardness of growing up with the added stress of having unique superpowers.

Characters

DC Super Hero Girls has various characters inspired by the DC Universe. The characters listed below are listed on the franchise's website:

Main Characters

  • Batgirl (voiced by Mae Whitman) – A techno wizard, she was accepted to Super Hero High solely based on her intelligence. She more than makes up for not having powers with her martial arts expertise, her well-honed detective skills, and her computer genius. [2]
  • Bumblebee (voiced by Teala Dunn) – A social butterfly, she uses her abilities to spy on super-villains to ensure that her team is always prepared for any scheme. Her powers include shrinkability, sonic blasts, and enhanced strength. This tech genius is outgoing and energetic.[3]
  • Harley Quinn (voiced by Tara Strong) – The resident class clown, she dedicates herself to spectacular pranks and endless puns. This unpredictable jokester and quick-witted acrobat makes it her job to create fun.[4]
  • Katana (voiced by Stephanie Sheh) – An artist with an edge, she loves to blend her love of art and fashion to create a killer look. Fearless Katana is a skilled martial artist and swordswoman. She considers her blade a part of her and often speaks to it.[5]
  • Poison Ivy (voiced by Tara Strong) – A garden variety misfit, she gained her powers from an experiment gone awry. This shy science genius cannot only control plants but accelerate their growth. Idealistic, Poison Ivy is an ally of plant-kind.[6]
  • Supergirl (voiced by Anais Fairweather) – A kind person, she is always ready to save the day and to help others. Her powers include heat vision and super-strength. People describe her as a clumsy and optimistic person.[7]
  • Wonder Woman (voiced by Grey Griffin) – A natural born leader, she comes from paradise island of Themyscira, a place full of warrior women. Wondy, as she is called, uses her modified Themysciran steel shield, bulletproof bracelets, and lasso of truth to make the world a better and safer place. She is known to be courageous and competitive.[8]

Supporting Characters

Superheroes

  • Beast Boy (voiced by Greg Cipes) – Beast Boy is a loyal friend and a shape-sifter that can transform into any animal he wants. He is silly, goofy and the life of any party but can be serious when he has to.
  • Catwoman (voiced by Cristina Pucelli) – An orphan from Gotham City, she is a feisty feline who learned that she can only count on herself.[9]
  • Cheetah (voiced by Ashley Eckstein) – Ruling Super Hero High with an iron paw, her charisma draws others to her but she isn't afraid to cheat to get what she desires.[9]
  • Hal Jordan (voiced by Josh Keaton) – He is charming, smart, and charismatic save-ball superstar.[9]
  • Hawkgirl (voiced by Nika Futterman) – She, as hall monitor, ensures that students always follow the rules. She plans her day to the minute.[9]
  • Star Sapphire (voiced by Jessica DiCicco) – She is the misunderstood, always attractive (if she says so herself) resident diva.[9]
  • Starfire (voiced by Hynden Walch) - a friendly warrior princess from the planet Tamaran, but is a down-to-earth girl. Her most used abilities include flight, superhuman strength, and bright green-colored energy bolts called "starbolts" that she fires from her hands. With her exotic alien beauty, she is truly a supermodel.
  • Cyborg (voiced by Khary Payton) - The half human, half robot. He has extensive knowledge in technology and can use his sonic cannon to blast enemies. His robot armor gives him super strength, heat resistance, enhanced durability and semi-invulnerability. He usually teams up with his good friend Starfire.
