Superheroes and Masculinity: Unmasking the Gender Performance of
Heroism explores how heteropatriarchal representations of gender
are portrayed within superhero comics, film, and television. The
contributors examine how hegemonic masculinity has been continually
perpetuated and reinforced within the superhero genre and unpack
concise critiques of specific superhero representations, the
industry, and the fan base at large. However, Superheroes and
Masculinity also argues that possibilities of resistance and change
are embedded within these problematic portrayals. To this end,
several chapters explore alternative portrayals of queerness within
superhero representations and read the hegemonic masculinity of
various characters against the grain to produce queer
possibilities. Ultimately, this collection argues that the quest to
unmask how gender operates within superheroes is a crucial one.
