Hit-Girl (Mindy McCready) is a fictional character appearing in the Kick-Ass series, published by Marvel Comics under the company's imprint Icon Comics. The character was created by artist John Romita, Jr. and writer Mark Millar. She is a young but effective vigilante, trained by her father Damon McCready (a.k.a. Big Daddy) from an early age to be a costumed superhero and assassin. In Kick-Ass, she is introduced as a supporting character. She featured in her own self-titled comic book series, Hit-Girl, which was first published on 27 June 2012. She is portrayed by Chloë Grace Moretz in the feature film adaptations Kick-Ass and Kick Ass 2.

Hit-Girl has been trained to take a bullet (while wearing a bulletproof vest), as well as in hand-to-hand combat and fighting with both blunt and bladed weapons. She has also been taught about guns, inventors of guns, and even action movies and action movie stars. The nature of Hit-Girl's training has made her particularly brutal and remorseless in combat. Her physicality and skill set are, with the possible exception of Mother Russia, virtually unmatched by any character since Big Daddy's demise, making Hit Girl the most powerful and skilled character in the Kick-Ass universe.

Mindy has a very hardened, almost nihilist personality, as she is desensitized to blood, violence, and death. She curses regularly and makes crude jokes, often adopts a sarcastic demeanor towards her crime-fighting partner/apprentice Kick-Ass, who describes her as resembling a mix between John Rambo and Polly Pocket. Despite her emotionally hardened nature in costume, she has a very fun, warm and loving personality towards her father, Damon. Mindy has an interest in Hello Kitty, comic books, Clint Eastwood and John Woo movies. Mindy is considerably more mature than her age would suggest, as she has proven herself to be more focused and level-headed than her counterpart Kick-Ass. This is apparent in both the comic and film versions of the series. For example, when Kick-Ass tells her that her father was just murdered, she responds by saying "Finish the job, mourn later". However, when the villain Johnny G is finally dead, she turns to Kick-Ass and asks him for a hug, covered in tears and blood.
