  Superhero - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Superheroes most often appear in comic books, and superhero stories are the dominant genre of American comic books to the point that "superhero" and "comic book character" are often used synonymously.
Superheros may hide their powers from the public at large whilst not adopting a superhero identity through way of a costume, examples include the television characters Clark Kent in Smallville, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and later incarnations of Starman.
Strong female characters also gained prominence, beginning in a low key manner with Julius Schwartz's comics having female supporting characters who were successful professionals, although Hawkgirl was largely the only new female superhero as a confident partner for Hawkman.

 List of Jewish superheroes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Individuals listed may be only partially of Jewish ancestry (though that is noted).
Rabbinic law defines a Jew as a person with a Jewish mother, where the first Jews are defined to be those who entered the covenant at Mount Sinai, as described in the Biblical narrative, even though the person may be non-practicing and may not acknowledge himself or herself as a Jew.
This list takes the widest view to include most individuals who might be considered Jewish, but attempts to note such issues in order that more restrictive definitions may be applied by the reader, based on their own opinions or interpretations of the issue.

 Super-heroines: Where are the female superheroes?
Many female heroes that have had their own series were, unfortunately, copies of successful male heroes.
Female knock-offs of established male super-heroes are like photocopies; fuzzy, ill-defined and often unappealing.
I mean let's face it, good comics with good female characters are few and far between.

 Female Action Heroes | Lesson
After viewing an excerpt from children’s television programs that feature male or female action heroes, students deconstruct the traits of the main characters and compare the female action heroes to their male counterparts.
The teacher should point out that it's not “bad” to enjoy such attributes — but that it's important for students to be aware of the ways in which girls and women are (or are not) portrayed.
Some examples might be: girls and women leading others, fighting for important causes, showing bravery, caring about their female friends, and being interested in matters other attracting the attention of boys or men.
