Squirrel Girl (real name Doreen Green) is a Marvel Comics superhero who appears in the Disney Jr. animated series Spidey and his Amazing Friends.
Squirrel Girl was created by Steve Ditko and Will Murray.
Role in the series[]
Squirrel Girl appears in the episode "Meet Squirrel Girl" where she and Tippy-Toe team up Spidey and Spin to stop Green Goblin who was mind controlling Squirrels to cause trouble for him. Unlike previous portrayals, Spidey and Squirrel Girl have a very healthy friendship in this series, as opposed to Spidey treating the underestimated Squirrel Girl with indifference.
Trivia[]
- In the comics, Squirrel Girl was originally a joke character in an adventure that saw her team up with Iron Man, and with her help, actually managed to defeat Doctor Doom with her squirrel sidekicks. Since then, a running gag throughout her appearances shows her being able to beat some of the most powerful villains and threats in the Marvel Universe, including Thanos, M.O.D.O.K., Galactus, Ronan the Accuser, Mandarin, Terrax, Bi-Beast, Abomination, Ultron, Fin-Fang Foom, and even Deadpool. Joining the obscure hero team the Great Lakes Avengers, Doreen eventually rose to prominence after she realized the team wasn't pulling their own weight. She would be hired by Jessica Jones and Luke Cage as a nanny to look after their infant daughter Danielle Cage. Doreen was incredibly responsible with this task, fiercely protecting Danielle from many threats intent on kidnapping her.
