Subject: The Evolution of the "Superheroine Turned Evil" Trope in Modern Narrative Media Date: Updated October 2023 Abstract Historically, the "evil turn" for female superheroes was often a result of external mind control, a temporary plot device to vex the male protagonist, or a punishment for ambition (the "Woman Scorned" archetype).
