You're right about including civilian characters. In the context of these works it wouldn't matter so much if a civilian ultimately failed to reach the same level as other characters, as long as they were shown fighting with all the resources and talents to their disposal. That being said it wouldn't even be necessary for them to fail, as there are other ways of being useful than though raw power etc.
GIP. :~D I think Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of the few (Western) shows that have come close to having consistently real strong female characters recently. Fringe might also be included here, perhaps?
