Uber Girls in anime and manga.
Thought I'd assemble a little list about the ubergirls I know in japanese anime and manga.
The concept of physically powerful female characters is a very frequent one here. Maybe not the usual Supergirl type but non the less nice, if you ask me.
Anyway... here's the list. I'll add more whenever I remember one I forgot.
- A-ko from "Project A-ko" -- Probably the most known anime power girl. Her runaway strength is part of the slapstick storyline that makes constant fun of nearly every anime clichee imaginable.
- Maris from "Maris the Wondergirl" -- Another comedy anime about a girl with superhuman strength. Besides being an intergalactic police officer she needs to take part time jobs to pay for all the things she breaks.
- Birdy from "Birdy the mighty" -- Birdy is an intergalactic crime fighter who accidently kills a young man. To save him she merges with him so they now switch form between his body and her superhuman body.
- Akane and Shampoo from "Ranma 1/2" -- Both girls are tough fighters and "normaly" strong in the whole series, but they receive a temporary dose of superhuman strength in the episode "Transform - Akane the Super Duper Girl". That ends in the most impressive "Ping Pong" match ever
- Lime, Cherry and Bloodberry from "Saber Marionette J", "Saber Marionette J to X" and "Saber Marionette J Again". -- Three "marionettes", female androids that unlike others have emotions. They all love Otaru and so they fight about him among each other when they are not fighting the evil emporer Faust and his Saber Dolls. Funny but with a cool story line.
- Motoko Kusanagi from "Ghost in the Shell" and its sucessors -- While not a real ubergirl, Motoko is a full cyborg with comes with quite some power. These movies and serieses are very serious in tone but great in action and storyline. Cyber Sci-Fi at its best.
- Mirai from "Moldiver" -- Mirai discovers her brothers device to alter the physical laws around a person's body and such adopts an alter ego as the super powered crime fighter Moldiver.
- Sonnet from "Blue Sonnet" -- Killer cyborg created from a runaway girl, Sonnet is sent out to kill. In a testing run she easily takes out a tank and a helicopter.
- Kitty from "Silent Moebius" -- Yet another female cyborg heavy hitter. Whenever raw brawn is needed for the fight against monsters in this dark city, Kitty is up to it.
- Shinobu from "Urusai Yatsura" -- Shinobu is known for her short temper and whenever she is really angry she seems to develop superhuman power. Very comedy like because that power is mostly used to hit Ataru with something hard and very heavy.

Seras - From the Hellsing series, Seras is a police officer that gets turned into a vampire near the beginning of the series. While she never matches her master in power, they have a few nice shows of strength which include. Bending the barrel of a gun, throwing someone quite a ways through a door, shattering the heads of a few undead with her fist and she regularly carries around a cannon that looks like it belongs on a small tank.
Eclair- From Kiddy Grade, Eclair is a member of the Galactic Union of Trades and Tariffs which employs a certain number of enhanced humans. Eclair’s abilities are super strength and speed, a few nice scenes is when she is dancing and accidently steps down to hard the entire building shakes, she picks up what looks to be a two ton slab of rock and easily takes out a group of cyborgs with just her fist.
Mahoro - From Mahoromatic, a combat android turned made this has a few nice strength scenes as well. One of my favorites is when she catches a few bullets between her fingers. This one doesn't have as much strength scenes as I would have liked though it is still nice.
Kurumi - From Steel Angel Kurumi, Kurumi lifts a guy by this throat, while her sibling Saki tears a massive battle robot in half with just one kick. Oh Kurumi also catches what amounts to a spiked wrecking ball easily with one hand. She is also seen regularly carrying around her “master” with one arm. Though by the way she treats him I would wonder who is really the master.

From the first episode, she lifts AND carries a motorscooter up a long, steep flight of stairs (and those things are not exactly light).
She has also arm-wrestled every guy at her police station (except for Ken Nakajima) and beat them all...except for one.
On top of this, in the Second Series (released in Japan, fansubbed a few years ago), she lifts a car from the bumper and flips it over.

I don't think the English versions of Naruto have gotten that far, either the anime or the manga. I had to DL some fansubs of the original Japanese versions to even see her at all.

She bends steel, fights and beats an army of giant mechas, juggles dumbells, lifts a giant mechanical dragon, runs faster than a speeding car, and fights and beats an army of giant mechas again!
Oh, and she's a pretty good singer too!

Anna and Uni Puma: Twin android catgirls from Dominion Tank Police with vastly superior strength, agility, sped, and toughness.
Klan Klang: A Meltrandi warrior in Macross Frontier. The Meltrandi are the female of the Zentradi race, 50' tall alien warriors who can also shrink down to human size. If this sounds familiar to the non-anime fans, the original Macross was shown in the US as the first 'generation' in Robotech.

You'll have to back through the posts to see the anime clips as most of the posts are American stuff that we've all watched before on youtube.

There's a great scene toward the beginning where she hugs the main character, and tells him cheerfully that if she wasn't controlling her strength he'd be flat as a pancake! She's naive and adorable, essentially being an alien that doesn't understand shame.

Don't piss her off, though.

In a near future, poeple acquires superpowers like telekinesis, flight, telepathy and super strength
Yes, principal heroines are children but they appears many times in adult form. Kaoru, Naomi or Fujiko are among the most powerful characters.
Exemple :
ep. 19 : Naomi demonstates her strength with some bad guys
ep. 28 : Fujiko's first apparition
...
I haven't seen all episodes yet but I think this anime is very interesting.

She is one of those characters that is scary powerful, even though she is a good person.
-She is super humanly strong, in one of the latest chapters she has a tug-of-war against 1000 people (including some super powered people), that she wins hands down without getting serious.
-She is super fast and can move so fast she creates illusions of her self.
-She can learn and master abilities better than the person who originally has it. Just by seeing it.
-She has several "God Modes", that makes her more powerful. How much stronger she gets is unknown.
-She gains more and more power as time passes. She seems to be much more powerful in the later chapters than she was in the beginning.
-She is inhumanly smart and talented and can pretty much do anything she sets her mind to. She solved an "impossible" mathematical problem at a very young age. She mastered calligraphy at the age of 3 Etc.
-Animals don't dare go near her because she is so powerful.
Btw, this manga is getting an anime this april.
