The Guardian sings the praises of Marvel's latest iteration of Spider-Girl.
From the story...
More exciting still is that the new Spider-Girl Anya "Aranita" Sofia Corazon will be a combat-trained martial artist, and act independently – not as Spider-Man's sidekick. Her costume is a positive sign for anyone interested in strong female role-models – it is as skin-tight as Spider-Man's, but no more revealing.
Most excitingly of all, the writer Paul Tobin wants to create a multi-dimensional character. "When I was growing up there were so few well-written female characters in comics. It definitely was all about the sexuality, rather than the individuality," he told Jezebel.com, adding he is pleased that "a lot of writers, both male and female, are putting those old one-dimensional writing styles to rest".
Yet Anya Corazon is not the first female superhero whose power is about more than just cup size.
