The Expendables 3 star and real-life UFC fighter Ronda Rousey has presented a challenge to movie Big Whigs: stop making female characters so weak.

“I’m tired of watching this thing where the woman’s superpower is dumbed down. In The Fantastic Four, the woman is the invisible one. In X-Men, (telekinetic) Jean Grey gets tired all the time,” Rousey told USA Today. “Wonder Woman is cool, but she has bulletproof bracelets, while Superman is a bulletproof dude. It’s like she has really cool accessories. I think about that a lot.”

The 27-year-old is certainly doing her part in the fight. She noticed on the Bulgarian shoot of Expendables that her character wore a holster and camouflage. It was the guys who were wearing all the bulky body armor. “I think they wanted to show some form and not have me look like a block,” she says. “But I kept saying, ‘Body armor is for mistakes. I don’t make any.’” In another fight scene, Rousey fought in a dress and six-inch heels.

“We’re entering an age of female empowerment,” she asserted. “What’s happening in Hollywood is what’s happened in MMA. The reason women are popular in MMA is because people wanted to watch them. It took a while for people to wake up for that. In Hollywood, there is a similar void, waiting to be filled.”

Rousey says that she hopes to continue playing strong roles in Hollywood, and it looks like she will get that opportunity. Rousey will appear in Fast & Furious 7 in 2015, and said her other projects are secret for now. Stallone announced female-led Expendables spinoff The Expendabelles earlier this month. It is possible that Rousey would reprise her role for the film.
