Abstract

The transformations that occurred in history in the last hundred years, echoed in the pages of comics superhero. These comics, to reflect on the social and political changes have highlighted the issue of difference and gender relations socially constructed. The comic with his super-heroes and heroines were also responsible for bringing the means of mass communication the debate about the difference between the sexes. Women were present in the comics, primarily as adjuncts, being the object of the machinations of the villains, and, accompanying the new era with the speed of the feminist movement, they perform leading roles, transforming themselves into superheroes.
