My superwoman of the month is the Black Canary. I fell in love with this fireball of a woman when I began to read a series of comics called the "Birds of Prey." I'm sure you have heard of it, with the very first bat-girl, Barbara Gordon who is known as Oracle in the comic, Huntress and a couple other women in the comic. Anyway, Black Canary is just a feisty and strong woman. She has some sex appeal but what comic book woman doesn't, comics are target towards younger men or older men that live with their mothers and jerk off to porn (STEREOTYPE ALERT!). But, back to Black Canary, she is super bad, like she doesn't have superpowers (a useful one I should say) but she could kick some serious ass. But, I loved that she was considered a villain when she was first introduced and kinda had the same gothic, dark feel Batman comics had. This is a girl after my own heart, she is bold, brave and a bad mama-jama! Like home-girl fights baddies with her bare hands...HER BARE HANDS! If that isn't cool then someone explain what it is. I love her because I think she is rebel and a fighter. I might categorize her as my idol.
Now don't get me wrong, for a comic book super woman she is a bit scandalous. Like her attire isn't practical, she wears heels, fishnet stockings, a body suit and a leather biker's jacket. For one she is the ideal character I mentioned in my earlier blog "Female Super-Heroes: Are They Sex-Symbols?" It's crazy because her as a person is great it's just the way she is presented. Anyway Black Canary is my super woman of the month...deal with it!
