There was something about Ellen Page’s performance in X-Men: The Last Stand which seemed to work beautifully. Perhaps it was her girl-next-door portrayal of Kitty Pryde (aka Shadowcat) – juxtaposed so nicely against the tit-toting obviousness of her fellow X-babes – that made a nation of comic-book enthusiasts coo in appreciation. Or perhaps it’s simply because she’s subtly hot. We’ll never know, but we do know that she deserves her place on this list. More please, Marvel.
