I agree with doing away with the overt sexualisation of women in comics purely because it's creepy and encourages the stereotype of a neeky comic book subculture of basement-dwelling losers. As far as the homogenous representation of women goes however, male superheroes are also represented as a ridiculous homogenous archetype.

Is this realism, or is this an archetypal portrayal representative of a fantasy genre dependent on characters who are, by their very nature, abnormal?
