One is an Amazonian superheroine, another is an unstoppable superagent, and last but not least is a giantess female knight.

On Saturday night the new Wonder Woman Gal Gadot, Game Of Thrones Gwendoline Christie, and Agent Carter's Hayley Atwell attended the Women Who Kick A** panel at Comic-Con.

Leading the fashion was Gadot, 30, in a cutaway black dress as she pinned her dark locks back into a tight and neat bun.

While Gwendoline, 37, who shot to fame as Brienne, wore a floral printed dress and tasteful sash to the event.

Not one to be outdone, 30-year-old Hayley sported a pink blouse and black tights teamed with sky high pumps.

Also in attendance was Kathy Bates and Jenna Coleman, who all posed up together for a super portrait.  

Gadot opens up on the cover of the August issue of FASHION magazine. The actress - who served as a soldier with the Israeli Defense Forces for two years - reveals how the military prepared her for showbiz.

The striking beauty explained: 'But the army wasn't that difficult for me. The military gave me good training for Hollywood.' 

Gal has previously said she impressed Fast & Furious director Justin Lin in 2008 with her knowledge of weapons and also performed her own stunts in the three movies she appeared in for the franchise.

Military service is mandatory for both men and woman over the age of 18 in Israel but not everyone takes it in their stride like Gal did. 

Meanwhile, Gal - a former Miss Israel - is preparing to play the lead in the 2017's Wonder Woman and revealed to the magazine how excited she is to don the superhero costume.

'She is the ultimate symbol of strength. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd grow up to be in a movie playing someone who influenced as many women as she has.' 

The mother-of-one also plays the crime-fighting heroine in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice alongside Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill which will be released in March 2016.

It will be the first time the character has been portrayed on the big screen in its seventy year history.

Gal has been married to Israeli businessman Yaron Varsano since 2008 and they share a three-year-old daughter, Alma, together.  

On juggling her work and family life, Gal reflected: 'Nowadays being a woman is hard, because we have to be the best wife, best mother, best worker, best everything! 

'But I truly believe we are more empowered… we're also stronger, sophisticated and can achieve what we want. That's what I would like my daughter to know.'
