SUPERVILLAINS SIGNIFICANCE EVIL SUPERHERO COMICS
Alongside superheroes, supervillains, too, have become one of today's most popular and globally recognizable figures. Supervillains are also central to superhero storytelling to the extent that the superhero genre cannot survive without supervillains. Bringing together different approaches and critical perspectives across disciplines, Nao Tomabechi reconsiders the modern American myths of the superheroes. Considering the likes of Lex Luthor, the Joker, Catwoman, Harley Quinn, Loki, Venom and more, Supervillians explores themes such as gender and sexuality, disability, and many forms of Otherness in relation to the notion of evil as it appears in the superhero genre.
