    Why Do People Like Superheroes? Don’t Ask a Psychologist

    Our Superheroes, Ourselves botches its analysis, but its brain-expert authors unintentionally shed light on the allure of seeing superior beings bring order to the world.

    I still enjoy super heroes and super hero movies. But the comic books and publishing companies are still treating their female super heroes like sh**! Either Wonder Woman becomes superman’s new sex partner or they kill off another female character. It’s like these companies don’t want to encourage or promote sexy strong females.

    Comic books are one of the ONLY mediums to showcase artwork featuring muscular female characters. So when the companies that own them treat these characters like sh**, a little piece of me dies inside.

    However, I do have to say that some indie superheroine books have been interesting. This heroine is quite buff!
