Superheroines

Female superheros seem to all follow a similar pattern:
They always wear revealing costumes,
they are completely unrealistic,
but they mantain to be intelligent and strong women.

The male superheroes always think that the female women are weaker than they are in the comics but they are equally strong when they fight the villians.


The Invisible Woman, from The Fantastic Four, has always been seen as being intelligent and sexy. In the movies, Jessica Alba makes sure that the intelligent part is clearly shown.

This cover of Wonder Woman just shows that they are drawn with unrealistic body shapes and revealing clothing.



Batgirl, shows how strong a superheroine can look and be.


Robin: You're pretty good at this, little girl.
Batgirl: Well watch and learn, little boy
(From Batman & Robin 1997)
This quote shows how the male superheroes find the female superheroes weaker then them but the females always prove them wrong.


This video is the trailer for Supergirl in 1984. It shows Supergirl flying around in a short short skirt. Still, she is saving people and does portray being a strong woman.

I think that your Superheroine hero in a box project was very interesting. Your facts are very interesting and i think you did a very good job

Your superheroine project is very good. I like all the artifacts that you used, it really helped show how superheroines are portrayed.
