interesting topic.

Growing up in the 70's, as a young child, I found myself getting these "weird tingling sensations" seeing the main character in any show getting beaten. Then I saw Darna re-runs on TV and I somehow got to thinking, wouldn't it be great to see her getting defeated in that costume? :D

Then I see Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman (+Wonder Girl) and EW and DG getting defeated on TV, and the rest was history.

I have read some SpiderWoman comics, in 1980, that I've tried to recreate with Poser

Being a 1990s kid, for me it was the Gen13 comics that first piqued my interest, especially the Al Rio and Adam Warren stuff.

Image

Also video game peril like this easter egg from Shadow Warrior:

Image

In the early 2000s it was the Chainsman Institute website:

Image

And then in the mid to late 2000s I came across Superheroine Central and the weird thing is: While Wonder Woman never did anything for me... I fell head over heel for Mr. X's Ms. Americana and do so to this day.

Image

The fan fiction stories by Don Ship/Dark One did the rest. Stuff like the ending to "The Director", Ms. Americana's distress at being sold on in "Writer Beware" or her being shocked with christmas lights in "Milk and Cookies"... wow.

More recently people like Mr. Bunny Art (who is now MIA) and Eclipse in Peril (who might be MIA too) piqued my interest too, but I always come back to Ms. Americana. Beautiful render and good sense of humor in the stories does a lot of heavy lifting and sets them apart from straight (and often boring) porn.

But even though I saw some superheroine stuff online in the late 90's, I really wasn't interested. It was Wonder Woman or nothing for me. And then I saw a little comic called "Cat Toy" by Mr. X.

It was the Sailor Moon series that got me interested in super heroines.

The scene with Sailor Venus and the butterflies was amazing:

Image

Then I started searching around the internet and found Superheroinebabes.com and off of that Soopehero and Superheroine Central.

I especially loved the Gold Avenger and UltraGirl:

THIS! When Wonder Woman fell through that trap door and was chloroformed... It was over for me.

If you were an Adam Warren fan back in the 90s with Gen 13 and Dirty Pair, I hope you've kept up with his career and checked out most of the work
he's done with Empowered. There's a ton of peril, bondage and sexy situations throughout the series, and he's about to put out a new volume
this year. I can't think of a single comic that's readily available in mainstream comic shops which has provided more of this kind of material than Empowered for the past decade (maybe Tarot Witch of the Black Rose comes in second, and of course Sunstone but they're not really superheroes although they do have very tight and sexy costumes.)

The Empowered villain "Chloroformaster" inspired our creation of our own character, Chlorina.

Empowered and subscribed to his Patreon. He has some really amazing DID work there that was commissioned in the early 2000s.

Now in my low 60's, it was a little of Batgirl and Ms. Peel, but it was Lynda Carter and Wonder Woman at age 14-15 that sealed the deal. I remember my knees going weak the first time I saw her - WW getting KO'd by the Baronness. I can't imagine anyone ever topping her KO's. Luther

Yes, and he has a Kemono, too, which I check regularly. It's disheartening, there are thousands of artists on Kemono and I can't find anyone else I like on that platform other than Manic and Adam Warren.

I was attracted early to women in peril. Batgirl and Penelope Pitstop and the other late sixties heroines. I was never into the random attack on women thing. I like a heroine that is complicit in her own peril, even if she is not a willing participant. Penelope Pitstop never reported the Hooded Claw to the police and just seemed to go out and sought situation where he would inevitably show up. Batgirl put on a purple catsuit and went out to fight master criminals that seemed to fetishize crimes, setting herself up for capture. 99 chose to be a secret agent and so did Emma Peel. Charlie's Angels and Daphnie and pretty much every teen girl detective in Hanna-Barera cartoon. No sweeter words are ever spoke than "We had better split up."

I liked the idea that these heroines were seeking out the thrills of danger and danger and the villians, while they could easily dispatch them, choose not to and create fetishy fates wordr that leave the heroine bound, gagged and writhing helplessly as doom approaches. Batgirl, WW, O-girl and Nylonika being dressed in sexy costumes while doing there detecting is just icing on the cake. If Daisy Duke want's to wear booty shorts and a crop top while searching an old barn, I am down for that too...

Oddly enough, I watched Batgirl and Penelope Pitstop and never felt a single pang. Maybe I was too young. I was a mere child when I watched them. But, by the time Wonder Woman with Linda Carter came out I was ready to receive the SHiP message out and clear. Now I can look back on all those campy capture and bondage scene with Batgirl with a new appreciation.

As a kid I really enjoyed the first 30 minutes of Return of the Jedi and didn't really know why. I had a giant stack of old comics and I remember the constant peril of these sexy heroines apologies for a lot of images:

This here is the tip of the iceberg, bronze age babes getting attacked by tentacles, mind controlled, submitting to villains, straining against their bonds, comic writers working out their own fetishes on the page:

Mr. X stories on usenet back in the day really focused me on superheroines. I wasn't even looking for them but they made me fixate on Wonder Woman. In particular I love WW when she's looking overconfident and drawn thick with a big juicy ass (shout out to Amanda Conner & Frank Cho who both know what they're doing). Wonder Woman's ass in the blue briefs with white stars is the greatest.
