“Plenty of “dangerously sexy” femme fatales exist in graphic novels, like Poison Ivy, Catwoman, and Amora the Enchantress. While thankfully these characters have been more fleshed out as time went on, that doesn’t change that there’s a certain level of villainization for sexy women in media that extends to the real world. This is nowhere more glaringly obvious than when a “good girl goes bad” in the funny books, and characters like Jean Grey and Sue Storm find themselves suddenly sexier… and eviler.” More from Sara Century at SyFy Wire!
