He basically stated that there is no concrete definition of a superhero, but instead one should apply fuzzy logic when defining a superhero. That means people should “…consider superheroes on a continuum…” From Narcisse’s article there is no continuum provided, so I decided […]

I found the introduction to Ink-stained amazons and cinematic warriors: superwomen in modern mythology fascinating, and aside from the reverence of Joss Whedon, I agreed with a lot of it. I struggled a lot with the lack of female superheroes growing up. I also found the first ever Superman cartoon interesting – the thing that struck me …

She would video tape us dancing, singing, or interviewing us. We would sit at the table and drum up ideas for new...
