Superwoman
Nah, that can't be her name. But, sheez, dontcha think it's time for another girl wonder? Wait, I don't mean a sidekick. I'm talking about a straight shooting, criminal nabbing, almost all powerful lady-with-a-cape. Not that I'm petitioning Marvel Comics necessarily, although that would be pretty dern sweet, but just in case you guys are following, here are my ground rules:
1. Her costume must have straps. Don't tell me Wonder Woman didn't spend half her work day worrying about falling out of that ridiculous getup. Seriously. Nobody's boobs are big enough to hold up a strapless onesie when the fists are flying.
2. She cannot wear three-inch heels. Never mind the medical implications to the tendons, high heels won't allow her to run without risking serious ankle injury, plus as soon as she transitions from concrete to grass, she's sunk. Literally.
3. It's okay for her to cry. Not much, but some, because that's how girls relieve stress. However, she must then turn around and beat the crap out of some psycho right afterward. Because that's an even better way to relieve stress.
You guys got anything to add?

Yes, silveradept! I'm voting for less up top. Then we don't have to worry about the prospect of self-induced whiplash.

Which, actually, leads into another possibility...
6) She shall be of average "beauty" or will suffer the consequences of being extremely attractive. Very hard to fight crime when everybody's trying to get your phone number, is taking pictures of you (some of them hoping for some sort of lewd shot), and is looking out for you to appear everywhere so they can amass throngs of adoring fans for you.
