SuperheroHere's to the Ladies Who Launch: Ten great TV superheroines
Like many gay boys growing up, I was fascinated by tv shows like The Six Million Dollar Man and Batman, but was even more intrigued with their distaff counterparts. Okay, maybe "intrigued" isn't the right word, more like "fanatical". Put a woman with big hair and day-glo spandex in front of me, and i was enthralled. Even today, when I go to movies like the X-Men series, I'm much more interested in seeing Storm fry someone than seeing Wolverine slice & dice (unless he's partially clothed while doing it). I've decided to put my lifetime of experience to good use, and I hereby present (in no particular order) my Top Ten Live Action TV Superheroines!. 10. Isis "Oh zephyr winds which blow on high, lift me now so i can fly". Isis is not as well known as her 70's sisters, Wonder Woman and The Bionic Woman, but she probably has a bigger cult following. Joanna Cameron played the Egyptian Goddess on Saturday mornings for two seasons starting in 1975, often paired with Shazam!, thus giving sexually confused boys their weekly helpings of cheesecake and beefcake. Her superpowers were always a bit ill defined, and they usually involved her having to recite Nipsey Russell style rhymes. In this scene, she stops an M. Emmett Walsh wannabe with...glowing balls of light? 9. Batgirl You can see the rest of these costumed divas after the break! Submitted by on Tue, 2008-03-18 11:25. |
