Marvel's Female Superheroes Are Gradually Becoming More Super

Posted by Soulskill on from the superduper-heroines dept.

New submitter RhubarbPye writes: A new study shows an increasing trend in the power and significance of female superhero characters in the Marvel comic book universe. Several criteria were used to examine the trend, including cover art, dialog, and the actual superpowers. Over 200 individual comic books from Marvel's 50+ year history were compared for the study. What's of particular interest is the study's author is a 17-year-old high school student from Ohio.

    Wow. Since obviously, in your tiny mind, "SJW or gender nonsense" == "any story that includes any mention of women", then no, it is not going to stop, not even for a bit. Sorry, baby boy, but more than half of humanity isn't about to disappear just to protect your 'preshus widdle fee-fees'.
