It's because
>They already are the sidekicks/derivatives of a male superhero
>They're more prominent as part of a team
Two of the women in your pic have sidekicks: Wonder Woman and Batwoman.
It’s just that superheroines never have male sidekicks.
Golden Age Black cat and Kitten are the exception to the rule.
Strong woman don't need help. Plus I'd rather not bait a certain demographic. Also why hasn't some feminist made heroine/sidekick that mirrors a mother/child theme? As an example of powerful femininity.
I think the answer is most people who aren't already mothers are afraid of motherhood although for most, this might be an unconscious fear
Wonder Woman is the only hero there that isn't already a derivative of another hero.
Jessica is not derivative. She's just a green lantern among countless others.
My brother in fricking christ, female superheroes only really existed as they did because in examples like Batman and Robin, Batgirl and Batwoman existed solely to show that Bruce and Dick weren't gay, or to bend the knee/profit to feminism.
Sidekicks themselves were usually audience surrogates for the young boys reading.
We don't have sidekicks for female capes for that reason: the men reading will either relate to the adult heroes or their sidekicks, and the women don't really want to see the female heroes with kids palling around for the same reason you hardly see heroines with sidekicks in other media: a woman with a child reminds the female audience that they're aging.
Heroines with sidekicks/children are typically enjoyed by men because psychologically, it proves she would make for a good mother, and they still shine as badass parents with children (so men identify with it). They aren't liked by women because they don't want to BE mothers or frick mothers or be badass like them specifically.
>Men want to BE a character
>Women want a character to BE like THEM
Think about how much the internet loves Ripley or Sarah Connor, and how much of it is men saying that.
I love Ripley and Sarah Conner because of the “OH SHIT!!!” antagonists they face with the Xenonorph and Teeminator.
Supergirl is the sidekick. She just graduated to a more independent role.
Jessica Cruz, Ghost-Spider or whatever her dumb name is, and Batwoman are already on teams.
Janet has her dead husband's daughter.
>muscular women superheroine cartoon
This terrifies the Westerner.
You speak foolishness.
Yet she never got her own cartoon, just a side character in The Hulk.
She was skinny but ripped in her own live-action show.
booba
Such was the time, but now the time of the honest-to-God Heroine is over, and the political grandstanding mouthpiece holds sway inb4 "they were always mouthpieces" granted, But the same could be said of all comic book heroes, its just more overt and much more tedious now
Zatanna got some proteges along her history.
What happened to Red Canary? I thought we gonna get Black and Red Canary adventure after the Dark Crisis
When did Okoye become a superhero?
In the comics she's just T'Challa's jailbait bodyguard/potential wife.
She's an Avenger the same way Mulan's a princess.
It was funny when people threw a fit over her actress not being listed on the Endgame poster, and it turned out she had like 2 lines

Didn't Batwoman have someone called Firebird or something?
