A amusing list;
EW.com made a nice list of the Top 25 Butt-Kicking Babes. Of course there are more than one Whedonverse alums on it! And the winners are... no, you´ll have to go inside to find out...
NO. 25: SUMMER GLAU
as Cameron in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (2007-present)
WHO IS SHE? The über-cute cyborg sent back from the future to guard John Connor (Thomas Dekker) and make sure he lives to save humanity another day
SKILLS While she's super-fast and wicked strong — and nigh-invulnerable — she's not too much of a people-robot.
MALE ADMIRER John has taken a shine to her, but romance doesn't appear to be part of her programming.
NO. 24: Yvonne Strahovski as Sarah Walker in Chuck (2007-present)
NO. 23: Keira Knightley as Domino Harvey in Domino (2005)
NO. 22: Hilary Swank as Maggie Fitzgerald in Million Dollar Baby (2004)
NO. 21: Ali Lrter as Tracy Strauss/Niki Sanders in Heroes (2006-present)
NO. 20: Lucy Liu, Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore as Alex Munday, Natalie Cook, and Dylan Sanders in Charlie's Angels (2000) and Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003)
NO. 19: Joan Crawford as Vienna in Johnny Guitar (1954)
NO. 18: Miranda Otto as Eowyn in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)
NO. 17: Evangeline Lilly as Kate Austen in Lost (2004-present)
NO. 16: Michelle Rodriguez as Diana Guzman in Girlfight (2000)
NO. 15: Tura Satana as Varla in Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1965)
NO. 14: Michelle Ryan as Jamie Summers in Bionic Woman (2007)
NO. 13: Anne Parillaud as Nikita in La Femme Nikita (1990)
NO. 12: SUMMER GLAU
as River Tam in Serenity (2005)
WHO IS SHE? A little rich girl who gets kidnapped by the futuristic Alliance, experimented on, and then liberated by her brother, Simon (Sean Maher). Together, they're on the run from the government which wants its prize specimen back.
SKILLS That experimentation we talked about? Yeah, it turned this ''creature of extraordinary grace'' into a killing machine...of extraordinary grace. She's fast, strong, and lethal with almost anything she gets her hands on.
MALE ADMIRER Her aforementioned brother, a promising young doctor who scuttled his career and his family ties to rescue his mentally unstable sister.
NO. 11: Jennifer Garner as Sydney Bristow in Alias (2001-2006)
NO. 10: Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman, a.k.a. Selina Kyle in Batman Returns (1992)
NO. 9: Honor Blackman as Pussy Galore in Goldfinger (1964)
NO. 8: Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor in The Terminator (1984) and Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
NO. 7: Carrie-Anne Moss as Trinity in The Matrix (1999), The Matrix Reloaded (2003), and The Matrix Revolutions (2003)
NO. 6: Pam Grier as Coffy in Coffy (1973)
NO. 5: Katee Sackhoff as Kara ''Starbuck'' Thrace in Battlestar Galactica
NO. 4: Michelle Yeoh and Zhang Ziyi as Yu Shu Lien and Jen Yu in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000)
NO. 3: Uma Thurman as the Bride in Kill Bill — Vol. 1 (2003) and Kill Bill — Vol. 2 (2004)
NO. 2: Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley in Alien (1979), Aliens (1986), Alien 3 (1992), and Alien Resurrection (1997)
AND THE WINNER IS......
NO. 1: SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR
as Buffy Summers in Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003)
WHO IS SHE? The one girl in all the world who can stand against the demon hordes. The chosen one. And when she's not laying down the slayage, she's stumbling her way through grown-up-ness.
SKILLS Wicked with a stake, Buffy's a gifted martial artist, stronger than the average bear, and a world-class shopper.
MALE ADMIRER The great love of her life was Angel (David Boreanaz), the vampire-with-a-soul she could never be with. (Stupid gypsy curses.) And she had a wicked little fling with Spike (James Marsters).
