Marvel's first leading female superhero on-screen, "Jessica Jones," swigs whiskey out of a paper bag, relishes a scathing put-down, is not afraid to get dirty fighting villains and does what she pleases in a new Netflix series. Played by Krysten Ritter, "Jessica Jones," who has the power of super-strength, is the first female superhero to headline her own Marvel show in a genre dominated by male characters. Show creator Melissa Rosenberg said, "She's a complex human being, and it's so rare that women get to play those roles, I would work by myself a lot, in all of the scenes."
