17Kim Possible: Kim Possible, June 2002
If the Powerpuff Girls were the mothers of late-1990s-early-2000s strong female characters, Kim Possible was their equally-tough daughter. Kim juggles a tumultuous personal life and a partner-in-crime who’s more “stoppable” than anything else. Even so, she always manages to come out victorious in the end. Her arch-nemeses are a bit more threatening than the Powerpuff Girls’, too, but we’re not here to pit strong females against each other – we’re here to celebrate them.
