    As a man, I'm flesh and blood, I can be ignored, I can be destroyed; but as a symbol. as a symbol I can be incorruptible, I can be everlasting". In the 2005 reboot of the then dormant Batman film franchise, Batman Begins, Bruce Wayne articulates how the figure of the superhero can serve as a transcendent icon. It is hard to imagine a time when superheroes have been more pervasive in our culture. Today, superheroes are intellectual property jealously guarded by media conglomerates, icons co-opted by grassroots groups as a four-color rebuttal to social inequities, masks people wear to more confidently walk convention floors and city streets, and bulletproof banners that embody regional and national identities. From activism to cosplay, understanding how these different groups and interests have made use of this powerful icon is essential to unmasking the appeal of superheroes and their wider impact. To address this interest, The Superhero Symbol brings together scholars from a range of disciplines, alongside key industry figures. Collectively, these contributions provide fresh perspectives on how these costume-clad heroes have engaged with media, culture, and politics, thereby becoming the "everlasting" symbols to which a wayward Bruce Wayne once aspired.

    2021 Comic Studies Society Prize for Edited Collection From Superman, created in 1938, to the transmedia DC and Marvel universes of today, superheroes have always been sexy. And their sexiness has always been controversial, inspiring censorship and moral panic. Yet though it has inspired jokes and innuendos, accusations of moral depravity, and sporadic academic discourse, the topic of superhero sexuality is like superhero sexuality itself-seemingly obvious yet conspicuously absent. Supersex: Sexuality, Fantasy, and the Superhero is the first scholarly book specifically devoted to unpacking the superhero genre's complicated relationship with sexuality. Exploring sexual themes and imagery within mainstream comic books, television shows, and films as well as independent and explicitly pornographic productions catering to various orientations and kinks, Supersex offers a fresh-and lascivious-perspective on the superhero genre's historical and contemporary popularity. Across fourteen essays touching on Superman, Batman, the X-Men, and many others, Anna F. Peppard and her contributors present superhero sexuality as both dangerously exciting and excitingly dangerous, encapsulating the superhero genre's worst impulses and its most productively rebellious ones. Supersex argues that sex is at the heart of our fascination with superheroes, even-and sometimes especially-when the capes and tights stay on.

    "Despite the frequently form-fitting costumes and prominent secondary sex characteristics, superhero sexuality has rarely been discussed seriously. Besides homoerotic accusations directed at Batman & Robin and Wonder Woman in the '50s and Larry Niven's seminal essay "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex" in the '60s, the topic has mainly been just the source for tittering jokes and innuendo. Peppard and her contributors work to correct this by examining how the sexuality of superheroes has been both portrayed and neglected through a variety of media from the comics themselves to film and television to fan fiction and porn parodies. Topics discussed move beyond basic notions of the X-Men as a gay metaphor or Wonder Woman's sexuality coming from an island of Amazons to issues of the female gaze, women's costumes in the 1940s, queer underground comics, and the ramifications of a whole category of fan fiction revolving around a female Captain America
