Superheroes: brave, powerful, intelligent, ordinary role models with some kind of superpower like flying or invisibility. They have only one meaning in their lives: to beat the evil and save the world. Normally when we think about superheroes it's always a man like BatMAN, Spider-MAN, and SuperMAN… Why is that? Probably because when we are little girls like dolls, Barbies, ponies etc and boys, like always, love the superheroes. For them superheroes are idols and role models. They have to follow their every move and then repeat after. Of course that can be a good and a bad thing it depends only if they have to really try to save the world and battle against the evil.

Can a girl be a superhero? Of course! When I was little, I loved Pippi Longstocking and I always compared myself to her. For me she is a real superhero. But she's not the only one: Catwoman, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Batgirl are all female superheroes and they have the same qualities than the men but they have one thing that the male superheroes don't: seduction. Every real female superhero can always get out of trouble by seducing and tempting the bad guy and still manage to save the world every day. That's some girl power! <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
