Superheroes As Pokemon Novels & Stories

Superhero films that combine in one group, such as the X-Men, Suicide Squad, The Avengers, and Justice League are the best examples of this stereotype. We could see the roles of Storm and Jane in the X-Men, Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad, Black Widow in The Avengers, and Wonder Woman in Justice League. They act only as supporting characters, not the key characters. “This is because superheroes are synonymous with hegemonic masculinity. While at the other hand, women are often portrayed as weak victims. Culturally, men are more likely to express aggression, competitiveness, speed, strength, and a host of other masculine attributes,” I explained at length.
