Genius Women Superheroes

This zine looks at the portrayal of the “genius” superhero. I will be analyzing 3 black superhero women and how they are viewed in comics. Moon Girl, Bumblebee, and Ironheart use their advanced knowledge to aid them in being the best superhero they can be. These characters breakdown stereotypes that have occurred over decades. They are symbols of strength and intelligence in society.
