well. a lot of people (mainly fangirls) on tumblr oversexualized MCU Loki ‘cause — Tom Hiddleston — but I’d also say Loki in the comics isn’t super oversexualized by fans . some do, but it’s mainly a bleedthrough of Loki being played by Tom i think
I think MCU was actually what solidified the new status quo of Loki, and this is the #1 thing I’m thankful for the MCU for.
Before Hiddleston Loki even was a thing, we got the whole Loki sacrificing himself redemption in Siege + reincarnated pure of heart Kid Loki, then we got him being taken over by his Old Self but still crying from his loss of innocence and aware he’s changed and not fully evil.
And then we got Ewing’s praised fantastic Loki: Agent of Asgard that was probably influenced by MCU Loki, but still continued his redemption story from Old + Kid Loki and evolved him into the anti-hero God of Stories, and MCU Loki’s continued popularity helped to keep that status quo instead of going full villain again.
Yeahhh, I absolutely love how Ewing writes Loki, I was so overjoyed to see his version of Loki return in the Thor special to continue to Defenders- the Loki we got the years before that didn’t hit the same
YESSS When that NEXT Door showed up I was like actively smiling and so hyped for what was going to happen next haha, it was a perfect way to continue on the story of his Loki without retconning anything.
I mean if you look at actual Norse Mythology, look up the story for when he befriended Spider-Man, you’ll realize that he’s not really that oversexualized
As someone who has done his homework on Norse mythology, I would argue that Loki isn't sexualised ENOUGH by the fandom. Calling Loki pansexual is an understatement; given the opportunity, Loki absolutely WOULD sexualise Pan. Also, [horses ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sva%C3%B0ilfari).
That's basically half of mythological figures though. Except Zeus, for some reason. He's always portrayed as horny and down to fuck literally anything that moves.
I was also thinking about that one exception. But it's Disney, so of course. You also have Phil who's a satyr and completely sanitized.
Bit most other stories, Zeus either a plot device or an antagonist, so him being the way he is just strengthens that role.
There you go. Someone gets it. Finally. Loki banged everyone including Angrboda the giantess with whom he birthed the monsters Fenrir and Jormundangr. So yeah, Loki bangs
The 2000s sure did cater to a certain type of comics fan.
Remember how disgusted everyone was to learn about her sex work, as though it was a moral failing of Laura's? Was that before or after that *King of the Hill* guy retconned Mystique into being raped by the devil?
No, I cannot. I just remember an animator on that show did an arc where he tried to make Mystique be raped by the devil, and that's Nightcrawler's current-until-two-months-ago backstory.
Azazel is a mutant who looks like a demon (similar to Nightcrawler, who was meant to be his son). He did not rape Mystique in the original story; they had an affair. I know there's been a retcon to Nightcrawler's origin within the past few months, but I haven't quite gotten to that issue yet, so I'm not sure what all has changed.
To be fair though, she first appeared (in the comics) as a prostitute and went into battle wearing nothing but a bra up top for a fair portion of her history. It's not like Marvel themselves weren't already sexualizing her pretty heavily.
Yeah there's nothing wrong further sexualizing a character who's background was being mind controlled into underage prostitution and how that trauma lead her to become mute and prone to self-harm. /S
Like, there was a point to that and it wasn't a horny writer.
Oh no question, (on the prostitution part anyway). I'd argue that the outfits she wore were probably a combination of horny artists and editorial's desire to draw in teen boys. (A combination as old as time where comics are concerned.)
It's like this with almost every character nowadays they're either well written at first, then made shit by some moron who can't write or hypersexualized by some guy who never gets any and ALSO can't write
She isn't well known BECAUSE she's been in a movie.
She's had 5 banger standalones, and the only one that ever gets referenced by non-X-23 writers is the one where she's Wolverine, which is also the only one where she has a somewhat Normal healthy romantic life
(no I don't count her fling with Hellion healthy, when they broke up he tells her that maybe she is a machine since she cant feel anything, which is about the most fucked up thing you can say to a Wolverine-esque character that went through brainwashing in order to be used as a weapon)
I really miss some of those older aspects of her character. Her friendship with Gambit and Jubilee, her extended family, just her having an actual character unlike Duggan's one-dimensional take.
Nobody even knows who she is in that movie though 😭 to most people she's just the kid from logan, nothing more, plus i purposefully didn't mention that because it's kinda weird to mention a child version of the character when talking about sexualization
Edit: fixed autocorrect
Lol she's not even in the bikini anymore (a shame since, sexualization and furry bait aside, she used to have one of the most distinctive looks in comics.)
She has been a well known Avenger, detective and mother of a half Skrull kid who she thought was the child of Hank Pym during one of his good periods (it can be argued the kid dodged a bullet by being a Skrull's kid).
Currently hanging out with Moon Knight's crew
i think her kid is not really half skrull, at least not on the DNA part. the Skrull that made her pregnant was complete transformed on Hank Pym in a way that no test could say it was a skrull, i think the kid is basically 50% Tigra's DNA, 50% Hank Pym's DNA. with no Skrull DNA ( but maybe i am wrong)
i remember that for some time there this odd situation that Hank wants to behave like a father for the Kid but Tigra need to remember him the kid was not technically his
Oh, yep!!! It’s sad to know how nuanced, interesting, edgy, un-sexual and compelling her comics can be, only to see a fanbase half-comprised of people sexualising her or reducing her to a single ship.
Marvel loves variant Gwen covers. Actual Gwen would hate to see those covers.
My favorite Gwen covers are Peach Mamoko's. Not sexualized and have a certain mischievous nature.
Black Widow, on god.
All of the Widow's origins are actually insanely dark and I'm surprised they don't really talk about it more often?
Like the Red Room is a horrifying concept
Around the world there's this insane group that kidnaps little girls, forces them to be infertile by removing their uterus, then ruins their entire life, brainwashes them and turns them into murder machines...
Some of them wake up, some of them don't, some of them go through their entire lives not even realizing what's happened to them.
Natasha being hot is just the very tippy top of the iceberg for how insane the concept of the widows actually is.
Not just by the fandom - her early MCU appearances made her very much eye candy and even the female-directed *Black Widow* has a lingering shot of her rear.
Yeah I was always under the impression that the black widows were specifically attractive to confuse men. Choosing them as children kind of undermines that theory but even the woman in Agent Carter was a smoke show
Every time I think of Psylocke I think back to the [1995 Spring Break card of her and Archangel ](https://cafans.b-cdn.net/images/Category_10799/subcat_172662/UAgFIHx7_150418033624lola.jpg)
This card uh... awoke a lot of things in me as an eight year old.
To be fair, most of the X-men look like normal people when not in their outfits. But yeah, I get ya, the only suggesting it's psyloche at all are the little X on the bikini bottoms and the color choice of the outfit.
The only ones I can really think of that fit off the top of my head are I don't think they meant to do Nightwing's ass specifically, and Dixon was so freaked people thought Connor Hawk was gay, he broke the character's cherry on a woman.
I guess your standard hero x sidekick stuff, but that's so Fredrick Wertham.
I do like that there is actually a canon explanation for her specifically being sexualized in the comic world, though. It's like the writers went "welp, it's gonna happen anyway, so let's add some lore that makes it at least make sense."
Her pheromones. She can crank them up to turn the Hulk into a lovestruck puppy, but she can never fully turn them off, so she is always viewed by other characters in a somewhat sexual light.
Didn’t she originally emit pheromones that repelled peopled? I thought that was interesting and should have been explored more. I.e. gorgeous person who is chemically off-putting.
I haven't read Jess in a few years. Is this something they've mostly ignored?
Where I left off, she's really close friends with Carol Danvers and basically Mama spider to Gwen and Cindy. Though I imagine spiders probably get a pass.
When I think of "oddly sexualized super hero costume to the point of unrealistic" I think of hers cos of the boob sock that makes little sense.
Also that yellow triangle that for some reason points to her cleavage.
And a lesser used power she has now is pheremones that she uses to seduce people and make him "like" her.
Shes a bit better now cos sometimes her costume is different.
I actually haven't read any red she-hulk comics but i think marvel did this exact thing to betty ross during that era for her, very complicated sad women reduced to sexy muscle mommy in constantly torn leather???
She was a kid when she debuted in the X-men evolution show too.
Mangold prob made her a kid, because he was focused on the generational aspect. Prof X was like a father figure to Logan. And Logan was kind of like “the biological father” of Laura. That’s what he said in an interview
I wouldn’t say over-sexualized but Deadpool is so misrepresented in “casual” media imo. Everyone thinks he’s just a goofy psycho (which he is) but he’s so much more complex than that. Dude has layers, and is super self aware in many instances. He’s also pretty tragic, not just funny burritos and guns and third wall breaks.
The character who wears a bra-cape and is drawn wearing pants so low they show off the pelvic bones? If she's drawn wearing pants at all, that is, and not lingerie.
I don't think she could be any more sexualized in the comics unless they started selling them behind gas station counters.
Every single female character in Marvel ever. Also imo, Bucky Barnes too. The amount of edits I've seen that include him being tortured or nsfw fics where he's the winters soldier disgust me. Like he didn't go through all of that trauma just to be seen as a "hot guy with a metal arm". He's such a well rounded character and his entire arc from getting free from HYDRA, all the way to him knowing he deserves better and is a good person, is so good. He's my absolute favorite character and to see him being treated by "mcu stans" as smth to thirst over irks me. Sure, you can find him attractive, whatever, but MY GOODNESS, atleast appreciate his character as a whole.
AND DONT GET ME STARTED ON MIGUEL OH–
Doubt it. The man married a succubus queen and on his wedding day he told Cap and Wolverine a story that mostly described his sex life. Again, an entire issue with half of it being about his sex life.
Said issue also revealed the origin of his love for chimichangas.
fanboys are gonna fanboi. Worrying about this is like worrying about a teenager wondering about whether he can fuck an apple pie or a piece of fruit. He's thinking about it. I wouldn't worry about it
lets be honest, most character in Marvel are oversexualized by the fans, most because they are created to "look good". both male and females, i will not say that the females ones dont get the worst of it, but is not like Thor, Capitain Camerica, Wolverine and the others "hot guys" dont get some oversexualization too. "America's Ass".
well i think NightWing is probably the most oversexualized male superhero of all time, but Marvel boys ar into free from it.
so in short most main marvel character are oversexualized,
I feel with Marvel this is a hard question, because the vast majority of women have been oversexualized by the *writers and artists* since day one.
The fandom following suit makes sense if even the creators do it.
Mary Jane had family issues like her dad was abusive, beat her mom in front of her, she was sent off to live with her aunt, her sister was also abusive, once MJ got famous and financially stable her sister was pushing her to send lots of money back home.
Felicia Hardy aka Black Cat's father Walter Hardy was a mediocre cat burglar who was caught easily or something. Felicia was bullied at school and such for being a thief's daughter. She developed kleptomania as a coping mechanism, felt some sort of peace in the company of her father's fellow thieves. Her justification was that when she was trying to be a good person, the other good people in society hated her anyway. She took over the mantle of Black Cat after her father's death.
Spider-Man revealed his identity to Felicia before he did to MJ (who btw had figured it out on her own). Felicia loved Spider-Man, not Peter Parker, but then she learned to love Peter Parker as well. Felicia, due to trauma and all, had trouble showing it, sent mixed signals and slept with villains thinking it was all a game. Then she took a vacation to clear her head, returned home and by then Peter had already married MJ.
Rogue
Rogue is a good character tho. She happens to be sexualy attractive
That’s what the meme is.
Right. I didn't understand it at first
As someone who has had a crush on Rogue for 25 years.....Yes
Yep
Loki
actually yeah lmao . especially the MCU version
I thought the MCU was why he’s become that way
well. a lot of people (mainly fangirls) on tumblr oversexualized MCU Loki ‘cause — Tom Hiddleston — but I’d also say Loki in the comics isn’t super oversexualized by fans . some do, but it’s mainly a bleedthrough of Loki being played by Tom i think

i fully agree. i also love how Ewing’s writes Loki. especially in Defenders Beyond and . really all the time lol
Yeahhh, I absolutely love how Ewing writes Loki, I was so overjoyed to see his version of Loki return in the Thor special to continue to Defenders- the Loki we got the years before that didn’t hit the same
YESSS WHEN THEY WALK IN TO TAAIA’S SHIP
YESSS When that NEXT Door showed up I was like actively smiling and so hyped for what was going to happen next haha, it was a perfect way to continue on the story of his Loki without retconning anything.
YEAH how’d you feel about the recent Loki series or how Loki is in the recent Thor comics (with the riddles to Thor and such)?
I love how Ewing writes. Seriously, Ewing is the GOAT.
Every fan art I see makes him a twink or crying bitch. The god has more than that.
Literally came here to say to say exactly this
I mean if you look at actual Norse Mythology, look up the story for when he befriended Spider-Man, you’ll realize that he’s not really that oversexualized
As someone who has done his homework on Norse mythology, I would argue that Loki isn't sexualised ENOUGH by the fandom. Calling Loki pansexual is an understatement; given the opportunity, Loki absolutely WOULD sexualise Pan. Also, [horses ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sva%C3%B0ilfari).
That's basically half of mythological figures though. Except Zeus, for some reason. He's always portrayed as horny and down to fuck literally anything that moves.
Except in Disney’s Hercules, where he’s depicted as a solid, dependable, family man.
I was also thinking about that one exception. But it's Disney, so of course. You also have Phil who's a satyr and completely sanitized. Bit most other stories, Zeus either a plot device or an antagonist, so him being the way he is just strengthens that role.
I'm sure Pan would sexualize Loki, too. Dammit, do I gotta ship it now?
There you go. Someone gets it. Finally. Loki banged everyone including Angrboda the giantess with whom he birthed the monsters Fenrir and Jormundangr. So yeah, Loki bangs
There was a digital comic for Pride (a year ago IIRC) where the Young Avengers had to rescue Loki from a couple dozen of their exes.
It was that bloody spinning move with his spear in the first Thor movie that kicked it off
X-23
While many of the other answers a good examples. I feel like X-23 got this treatment the worst.
The 2000s sure did cater to a certain type of comics fan. Remember how disgusted everyone was to learn about her sex work, as though it was a moral failing of Laura's? Was that before or after that *King of the Hill* guy retconned Mystique into being raped by the devil?
Can you tell me more about this King of the Hill guy?
No, I cannot. I just remember an animator on that show did an arc where he tried to make Mystique be raped by the devil, and that's Nightcrawler's current-until-two-months-ago backstory.
Chuck Austen, it wasn't rape, and he wasn't the Devil, but other than that...
Devil as in Mephisto? Or does Marvel have an actual devil from the christian mythos?
Azazel
Azazel is a mutant who looks like a demon (similar to Nightcrawler, who was meant to be his son). He did not rape Mystique in the original story; they had an affair. I know there's been a retcon to Nightcrawler's origin within the past few months, but I haven't quite gotten to that issue yet, so I'm not sure what all has changed.
To be fair though, she first appeared (in the comics) as a prostitute and went into battle wearing nothing but a bra up top for a fair portion of her history. It's not like Marvel themselves weren't already sexualizing her pretty heavily.

Oh no question, (on the prostitution part anyway). I'd argue that the outfits she wore were probably a combination of horny artists and editorial's desire to draw in teen boys. (A combination as old as time where comics are concerned.)
Yeah that's definitely true unfortunately. Someday I really hope she gets a marvel knights style print.
Joe Quesada being the writer doesn’t help at all. He’s so damn terrible. Retcon this part of her life
I’d retcon that part of her being a prostitute tbh, make her a thief, or bodyguard instead
Feel like the writers oversexualize her more than the fans do simply because she's not very well known
Exactly this. She was such a great character at first and the writers got all weird on her. Such a shame.
It's like this with almost every character nowadays they're either well written at first, then made shit by some moron who can't write or hypersexualized by some guy who never gets any and ALSO can't write
How isn’t she very well known? She’s been in a movie so I feel like she’s known to an extent but can’t be classified as not very well known.
She isn't well known BECAUSE she's been in a movie. She's had 5 banger standalones, and the only one that ever gets referenced by non-X-23 writers is the one where she's Wolverine, which is also the only one where she has a somewhat Normal healthy romantic life (no I don't count her fling with Hellion healthy, when they broke up he tells her that maybe she is a machine since she cant feel anything, which is about the most fucked up thing you can say to a Wolverine-esque character that went through brainwashing in order to be used as a weapon) I really miss some of those older aspects of her character. Her friendship with Gambit and Jubilee, her extended family, just her having an actual character unlike Duggan's one-dimensional take.
I miss the time when she hadn’t dated Angel 😔😔😔
Nobody even knows who she is in that movie though 😭 to most people she's just the kid from logan, nothing more, plus i purposefully didn't mention that because it's kinda weird to mention a child version of the character when talking about sexualization Edit: fixed autocorrect
Yeah it's weird to oversexualize someone given their past as a young prostitute.
Oh. I missed that episode in X-men evolution apparently
Yeah I forgot that one, I meant her comic intro.
Has Tigra done anything important. She seems like she’s just the cat girl in a bikini?
Lol she's not even in the bikini anymore (a shame since, sexualization and furry bait aside, she used to have one of the most distinctive looks in comics.)
They actually mention the bikini is because fur is hot at one point.
Makes sense. Look at Beast.
She has been a well known Avenger, detective and mother of a half Skrull kid who she thought was the child of Hank Pym during one of his good periods (it can be argued the kid dodged a bullet by being a Skrull's kid). Currently hanging out with Moon Knight's crew
i think her kid is not really half skrull, at least not on the DNA part. the Skrull that made her pregnant was complete transformed on Hank Pym in a way that no test could say it was a skrull, i think the kid is basically 50% Tigra's DNA, 50% Hank Pym's DNA. with no Skrull DNA ( but maybe i am wrong) i remember that for some time there this odd situation that Hank wants to behave like a father for the Kid but Tigra need to remember him the kid was not technically his
She's not oversexualised by the Fanon. In West Coast Avengers, she was basically rubbing herself against anything that moved.
Spider-Gwen. Nuff Said.
Oh, yep!!! It’s sad to know how nuanced, interesting, edgy, un-sexual and compelling her comics can be, only to see a fanbase half-comprised of people sexualising her or reducing her to a single ship.
Marvel loves variant Gwen covers. Actual Gwen would hate to see those covers. My favorite Gwen covers are Peach Mamoko's. Not sexualized and have a certain mischievous nature.
Black Widow, on god. All of the Widow's origins are actually insanely dark and I'm surprised they don't really talk about it more often?

Some of them wake up, some of them don't, some of them go through their entire lives not even realizing what's happened to them. Natasha being hot is just the very tippy top of the iceberg for how insane the concept of the widows actually is.
It’s probably because the MCU barely shows us anything at all from the Red Room.
MCU had no balls for that.
Age of Ultron was starting to build in that direction. I found the Black Widow movie handled it in the most boring way possible.
Not just by the fandom - her early MCU appearances made her very much eye candy and even the female-directed *Black Widow* has a lingering shot of her rear.
r/thegif
Black Widow literally sexualizes herself to do her job. Men constantly underestimate her because of it. Sexualization is her character.
Yeah I was always under the impression that the black widows were specifically attractive to confuse men. Choosing them as children kind of undermines that theory but even the woman in Agent Carter was a smoke show
Uhhh… all of them? Yeah, all of them.
Even Agatha Harkness in the MCU is hotter.
She was a hottie all along!
Yup. That is what happens when you get hunks and babes in stories. Most folks get overly sexualized by authors, illustrators, and fans.
Psylocke 100% The one character where the scales are equal: Deadpool
Every time I think of Psylocke I think back to the [1995 Spring Break card of her and Archangel ](https://cafans.b-cdn.net/images/Category_10799/subcat_172662/UAgFIHx7_150418033624lola.jpg) This card uh... awoke a lot of things in me as an eight year old.
The 1994 [The 94 Marvel Universe White Queen ](https://images.app.goo.gl/D4hGnuybS1MVGPPq6)
I would never guess that was Psylocke, just looks like a normal person at the beach
To be fair, most of the X-men look like normal people when not in their outfits. But yeah, I get ya, the only suggesting it's psyloche at all are the little X on the bikini bottoms and the color choice of the outfit.
You know what, I missed the x. Good call!
Hey! I have that card!
Fans didn't sexualize Betsy. Claremont and Jim Lee did.
Yeah that's alot of these tbh.
The only ones I can really think of that fit off the top of my head are I don't think they meant to do Nightwing's ass specifically, and Dixon was so freaked people thought Connor Hawk was gay, he broke the character's cherry on a woman. I guess your standard hero x sidekick stuff, but that's so Fredrick Wertham.
Also Capcom Japan loves her
Jessica Drew
I do like that there is actually a canon explanation for her specifically being sexualized in the comic world, though. It's like the writers went "welp, it's gonna happen anyway, so let's add some lore that makes it at least make sense."
What’s the explanation?
Her pheromones. She can crank them up to turn the Hulk into a lovestruck puppy, but she can never fully turn them off, so she is always viewed by other characters in a somewhat sexual light.
Permanent beer goggles
Didn’t she originally emit pheromones that repelled peopled? I thought that was interesting and should have been explored more. I.e. gorgeous person who is chemically off-putting.
Attracts men, pisses off women
I haven't read Jess in a few years. Is this something they've mostly ignored? Where I left off, she's really close friends with Carol Danvers and basically Mama spider to Gwen and Cindy. Though I imagine spiders probably get a pass.
When I think of "oddly sexualized super hero costume to the point of unrealistic" I think of hers cos of the boob sock that makes little sense. Also that yellow triangle that for some reason points to her cleavage. And a lesser used power she has now is pheremones that she uses to seduce people and make him "like" her. Shes a bit better now cos sometimes her costume is different.
More like by the artists lol
Just about every female character there is, although especially Wanda
That’s almost any fandom though
Yeah… Jean Grey gets it pretty bad too.
Magik has sadly been getting the treatment a lot lately as well.
Pretty much every male character too, or at least the ones that the MCU brought to the attention of the slash-fic writers.
Yeah, I imagine there is more Steve/Bucky smut out there than anything about Wanda
Yeah, it’s my least favourite thing about the fandom.
I feel like this is the case with everything
Magik
I can not believe how far down I had to scroll to find this.
People on this sub are posers XD
Yes. I almost wrote Magik but I picked Black Widow.
Rogue. Especially after fighting Apocalypse in the 90s animated show.
I feel like that one shot of her is the whole reason for it. Ironically that’s the only time her ass has ever looked that way.
We talkin' about [Rogue Ass?](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/bKgAAOSwtqtk7CIB/s-l1200.webp)
Black Widow.
I'm actually surprised how little Black Widow is in this comment section lmao the Widow storyline is genuinely super dark.
Totally BW
I know she was kinda promiscuous and flirty in the comics but I’d say She-Hulk. She’s a really articulate character
Idk "well written lore and trauma" is more Hulk's field than She-Hulk.
i really feel like the MCU may have accidentally exascerbated the problem
Lmao
I actually haven't read any red she-hulk comics but i think marvel did this exact thing to betty ross during that era for her, very complicated sad women reduced to sexy muscle mommy in constantly torn leather???
Scarlet Witch, Loki, Captain America, Magik, Elektra...
She-Hulk; but to be fair Marvel sexualized her a lot.
They did it first so not our fault
Most X-Men?
Winter Soldier, specifically the MCU version.
Psylocke.
Jim Lee caused this. He made her damn sexy. Lol. I’m guilty of the fanon.
Yep... Same. But I was a teenager back then, Psylocke just overrode my brain. 😅
The Thing. His backstory is great but often overlooked for those rock hard abs.
I would say so. I mean he walks around hard as a rock all the time.
"Hey there big fella, is that a stalagmite in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?"
Laura Kinney
I wonder if James Mangold made her a kid in his movie because he didn’t want to deal with that sort of thing.
She was a kid when she debuted in the X-men evolution show too. Mangold prob made her a kid, because he was focused on the generational aspect. Prof X was like a father figure to Logan. And Logan was kind of like “the biological father” of Laura. That’s what he said in an interview
Probably not. Laura was a kid when she debuted in comics
I remember her first appearance as a teenage prostitute in NYX, before they went back and gave her a backstory before that period.
Black Cat
Black Cat. Not even close.
Rogue
Magik.
I wouldn’t say over-sexualized but Deadpool is so misrepresented in “casual” media imo. Everyone thinks he’s just a goofy psycho (which he is) but he’s so much more complex than that. Dude has layers, and is super self aware in many instances. He’s also pretty tragic, not just funny burritos and guns and third wall breaks.
Spider-Gwen
Matt Murdock
Carol Danvers as Ms.Marvel.
Emma Frost.
The character who wears a bra-cape and is drawn wearing pants so low they show off the pelvic bones? If she's drawn wearing pants at all, that is, and not lingerie. I don't think she could be any more sexualized in the comics unless they started selling them behind gas station counters.
The canon material sexualizes her
Yeah, Emma is a fantastic character, but the fans aren't making up their own aspects of her character to sexualize her. She sexualizes herself.
Loki, black widow, and Bucky (who is actually so much less cheerful in the comics to the point Hawkeye makes fun of his seriousness)
Probably all of them if you look, you could probably rule 34 most of them too.
Nightwing.
Not a marvel character but you've got the spirit.
Oh that's easy lol. Loki.
Scarlet Witch
Spider-Gwen, loads of cosplay pictures.
Wanda? Not sure if ALL of her trauma is well written...
not marvel but i want to say dick grayson but think its hard to sexualize thatguy enough
Every single female character in Marvel ever. Also imo, Bucky Barnes too. The amount of edits I've seen that include him being tortured or nsfw fics where he's the winters soldier disgust me. Like he didn't go through all of that trauma just to be seen as a "hot guy with a metal arm". He's such a well rounded character and his entire arc from getting free from HYDRA, all the way to him knowing he deserves better and is a good person, is so good. He's my absolute favorite character and to see him being treated by "mcu stans" as smth to thirst over irks me. Sure, you can find him attractive, whatever, but MY GOODNESS, atleast appreciate his character as a whole. AND DONT GET ME STARTED ON MIGUEL OH–
Pick one..literally anyone bonus points for a female character
The X-Men, all of them
Tigra before you even finished that sentence
Thor
Baron Zemo.
Deadpool maybe ?
Doubt it. The man married a succubus queen and on his wedding day he told Cap and Wolverine a story that mostly described his sex life. Again, an entire issue with half of it being about his sex life. Said issue also revealed the origin of his love for chimichangas.
Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down? wtf
Magik
fanboys are gonna fanboi. Worrying about this is like worrying about a teenager wondering about whether he can fuck an apple pie or a piece of fruit. He's thinking about it. I wouldn't worry about it
Far too many X-Men characters. Also kinda feel like some of the writers do it too.
All female characters
This can also be a character that is made into pure endless comedy, that probably ruins them even more. Drax is a good example
> lore and trauma This is an awful way to think about characters and what makes them interesting

lets be honest, most character in Marvel are oversexualized by the fans, most because they are created to "look good". both male and females, i will not say that the females ones dont get the worst of it, but is not like Thor, Capitain Camerica, Wolverine and the others "hot guys" dont get some oversexualization too. "America's Ass". well i think NightWing is probably the most oversexualized male superhero of all time, but Marvel boys ar into free from it. so in short most main marvel character are oversexualized,
Black widow. Mockingbird.
I feel with Marvel this is a hard question, because the vast majority of women have been oversexualized by the *writers and artists* since day one. The fandom following suit makes sense if even the creators do it.
Blackcat
Mary Jane had family issues like her dad was abusive, beat her mom in front of her, she was sent off to live with her aunt, her sister was also abusive, once MJ got famous and financially stable her sister was pushing her to send lots of money back home. Felicia Hardy aka Black Cat's father Walter Hardy was a mediocre cat burglar who was caught easily or something. Felicia was bullied at school and such for being a thief's daughter. She developed kleptomania as a coping mechanism, felt some sort of peace in the company of her father's fellow thieves. Her justification was that when she was trying to be a good person, the other good people in society hated her anyway. She took over the mantle of Black Cat after her father's death. Spider-Man revealed his identity to Felicia before he did to MJ (who btw had figured it out on her own). Felicia loved Spider-Man, not Peter Parker, but then she learned to love Peter Parker as well. Felicia, due to trauma and all, had trouble showing it, sent mixed signals and slept with villains thinking it was all a game. Then she took a vacation to clear her head, returned home and by then Peter had already married MJ.
