After watching Wonder Women: The Untold Story of American Superheroes and taking a trip to the local library, it is clear to me that all oppressed groups are underrepresented in the comic industry. The appeal of superheroes started after the Great Depression, in the late 1930s when the American dream was in shambles, and the general public wanted someone to come in and save them by fixing every issue that they had. Before Wonder Woman was created in 1941 by William Moulton Marston, males dominated

Marvel Studio’s Wonder Woman is arguably one of the best feminine hero films that have been produced. The depiction of the main character Diana Prince outlines the theme of gender constructs in the society and thus works to liberate women from the social expectations of the female gender as a weak, dependent, and second-class gender in the society. In the “No man’s land” scene of Wonder Woman, Diana Prince goes against all odds to stand up against the German troops when the allied troops only come

Wonder Woman has faced many obstacles throughout her chaotic life. One major obstacle Wonder Woman has faced was being the first female superhero. It was very difficult for Wonder Woman to receive respect from the male superheros and some citizens. Another struggle for Wonder Woman was her great ability to perform her powers. Citizens would say negative things about her as if she were maybe a man because they didn't believe women could be as strong as she was. Wonder Woman struggled emotionally

In 1959 a man named Berry Gordy founded his life. After he dropped out of high school and got a $800 loan from his parents, he opened Motown Records in Detroit Michigan.

Astonishingly, it turns out that all it takes is a mild threat to Superman for everybody to run around in circles, screaming and laughing their heads off. Joking, because that was how I reacted when I was volunteered to join up with Wonder Woman. Seriously, seriousness combined with a body more muscular than mine don 't mix too well with me. Batman, being the no-nonsense type of dude he is, informed me directly after waking up at eight o 'clock sharp. Waiting outside of my bedroom- which had already

“With Her Eyes Open,” a poem by Alex Citadel is a piece that expresses the value of clarity by using the symbol, an eyeglass, that can view the whole world in a very fine detail. Citadel uses paradoxes, metaphors, as well as extended metaphors to portray the idea that even when people think they live clearly, their eyes can deceive them, fogging their reality, and stopping them from seeing the beauty of the world.

labels and stick them on the person we think it goes with. Negative effects of stereotypes from superheroes include body image, diversity, and unacceptable behaviors. In fact unrealistic body image is used in any superhero we can name, from Superman to Wonder Woman and more. I believe that body image found in superheroes has a negative effect on the viewers because it will lead to these children or adults losing weight, taking steroids, and working out excessively. “Male stereotypes include being powerful

In Supergirl, Kara, who becomes Supergirl, was born with her superpowers. She firstly really uses them to save the plane her sister is on from crashing (“Pilot” Supergirl 13:40).
