The most prominent recurring character is the eponymous superheroine Action Girl, an athletic teenage girl who thinks quickly and usually resolves conflicts with little or no combat. Some of her friends are also superheroines, including Flying Girl and Ultra Girl (formerly Neutrina).{{cite web |title=Action Girl |url=http://www.superheromultiverse.com/action-girl |publisher=SuperHero Multiverse |access-date=June 4, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120401175214/http://www.superheromultiverse.com/action-girl |archive-date=April 1, 2012 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all }}

Other recurring characters include Gwen and P.J., both of whom are non-superheroic, as well as Susanoo the Brawler, a tempestuous girl related to the Japanese god. However, the majority of stories in the comic are standalone rather than episodic.{{cite news |last=Tarlach |first=Gemma |title=Girls will be boys, but boys still can't be girls |url=http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=MWSB&p_theme=mwsb&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0EB82BF3EEC64E52&p_field_direct-0=document_id |newspaper=Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel |date=September 20, 1998}}
