“Duele ser Wolverine”: la violencia física de los superhéroes en los cómics y en lo audiovisual

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: This article discusses superhero violence in comics and audiovisual media and its relationship with gender. We list the violence rates of each superhero and seek connections between the highest results. We apply theories by Michel Haneke, Rita Segato, bell hooks, and Byung-Chul Han, among others, in the discussion of the proposed theme. We conclude that hypermasculinity is associated with the suffering caused by the expression of masculinity through violence as a tool for obtaining virile status.
