This paper seeks to explore the relationship between gender and the ideal self, tracking quantitatively the superheroines present in the top-selling comics in four period-defining years spanning from 1939 to the present and examining qualitatively the image-analysis strategies pertaining to the ways the gender of these superheroines are read by the public. Using strategies from film and gender studies, this paper analyzes how the male gaze is applied to the bodies of female protagonists who are simultaneously meant to represent a sexual object and the ideal self. It follows several well-known superheroines including She-Hulk, Batwoman, and Wonder Woman throughout their publication to explore the different ways in which their gender is presented and consumed.
