The 10 Best Female Protagonists of All Time

#10 Joanna Dark

After developer Rare found success with the spectacular 007 GoldenEye for the Nintendo 64, they set about to create their own superspy, this time a woman named Joanna Dark. Born with a spinal injury that left her unable to walk until 5 years old, Joanna grew up with her father who taught her how to fight and use small arms. Ultimately, the Carrington Institute recruited her where her flawless speed and accuracy on every training mission earned her the nickname ‘Perfect.’ Making the player feel powerful is something even the best heroes struggle with, but Joanna Dark does it effortlessly with professionalism and cleverness while always getting the job done.
