We'll hear from director Nia DaCosta, producer Mary Livanos, and composer Laura Karpman about bringing these three women to the big screen and about working with actors Brie Larson, Teyonah Parris, and Iman Vellani!

Monica Rambeau is energy personified, a seemingly all-powerful, invincible being of pure light! Hosts Ellie and Preeti talk about Monica’s backstory, powers, and how she maintains her humanity with the help of her loved ones and community. We hear from host Angelique Roche, writer Eve Ewing, and actress Teyonah Parris about what makes Monica so special.

Carol Danvers, aka Captain Marvel, is an icon of female strength and even inspired her own fanbase called the Carol Corps! Hosts Ellie and Preeti talk about why Carol is such an icon and why she’s so important to fans across the world with writers Kelly Sue Deconnick, Ann Nocenti, and Gilly Segal, plus a fan and early member of the Carol Corps.

Rogue is a walking paradox! She’s one-half of comics’ favorite power couple with a power set that exemplifies intimacy issues. Hosts Ellie and Preeti talk about the ups and downs of Rogue and Gambit’s relationship with writers Kelly Thompson and Alisa Kwitney. We also dive deep into X-Men: The Animated Series with writer Julia Lewald and the voice of Rogue herself, Lenore Zann!

Storm was seen as a goddess across Africa and her influence on the real world is just as powerful. We examine Ororo’s hurricane-force impact on the X-Men, Marvel universe, and on popular culture.

Emma Frost’s name is known across the Marvel Universe, for reasons good and bad. We’ll spotlight the controversial ways in which the fashion queen catapulted Krakoa to success and turned the Hellfire Gala into one of the most hotly anticipated mainstays of the Marvel Universe.

Kate Bishop Hawkeye has been a Young Avenger, a West Coast Avenger, and a private eye. She might not have any super powers, but she more than makes up for it with courage, a true arrow, and sheer force of will!

Gwen Stacy lives a double life as Spider-Gwen (or Ghost-Spider or Earth-65’s Spider-Woman…). If all those names are confusing, don’t worry: writer Seanan McGuire will walk through her whole multiversal backstory!

The Wasp turns 60! Janet Van Dyne is a mother figure, a good friend, a team leader, and was responsible for naming the Avengers! In honor of 60 years of the Wasp, we’re celebrating all the ways Janet has supported her friends, family, and many teams. Plus — of course — we can’t have an episode about Janet without talking about fashion!

Princess Shuri is the Black Panther T’Challa’s sister and has been the Black Panther herself – and she is the ultimate scientific genius! The Women of Marvel podcast takes a look at her many scientific discoveries and inventions, how writers and actors get inside the head of a scientist like Shuri, and how she inspires young scientists in the real world.

There’s a LOT going on in Jean Grey’s head! The first woman of the X-Men can communicate with others and move objects with her mind. Women of Marvel hosts - editor Ellie Pyle and writer Preeti Chhibber - examine how Jean tries, succeeds, and often fails to maintain her sanity with the universe on her shoulders.

Women of Marvel is celebrating Women’s History month by highlighting four of the artists that are featured in the Women of Marvel exhibit at Disney Hotel NY in Disneyland Paris. Host Ellie Pyle interviews artists Peach Momoko, Elena Casagrande, Stephanie Hans, and Natacha Bustos about their their life, their journeys, and their pieces in the exhibit.

Women of Marvel closes out our season on mentorship by bringing three “generations” of Marvel comics editors together for a roundtable conversation: Jenny Lee (Wolverine, Daredevil: Redemption, Ultimate Daredevil and Elektra), MacKenzie Cadenhead (Avengers and Power Pack, X-Men and Power Pack, New Warriors, Elektra: The Hand), and Sana Amanat (Ms. Marvel, Hawkeye, The Mighty Captain Marvel). Jenny mentored Mackenzie, who mentored Sana, who is a friend and role model to our three hosts!

Valeria Richards has had a complicated life with various influences….good and bad. In the Fantastic Four, Sue Storm is a loving mother, leader, and mentor to Valeria. Conversely, in Marvel’s Wastelander’s podcast, Valeria’s parents are dead, and the only person left who can match her intellect is Victor Von Doom. We examine and contrast these two very different mentors in Valeria’s life.

The X-Men fostered one of the greatest mentor relationships in the Marvel Universe – the one between Storm and her “Kitten”, Kate Pryde. Kitty first enrolled at Charles Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters at age 13 and Storm helped her become the leader she is today. Marvel’s own Robyn Belt walks us through their relationship via some key 1980s X-Men issues featuring heartbreak, Cyclops, Storm’s mohawk hairstyle, and more!

Possibly the most visible example of female empowerment in the Marvel Universe is the relationship between Captain Marvel and Ms. Marvel. We explore how Kamala’s admiration for Carol is foundational to her character, especially at the beginning – literally taking up Carol’s former mantle - and how Carol’s lessons helped Kamala grow into herself as a hero.

Women of Marvel travels to Wakanda this week to meet the incredible women in that world! Host Angélique talks to legendary artist Alitha Martinez about Wakanda in the comics and specifically Black Panther: World of Wakanda (2016).
