Ms. Marvel is mistreated in Amazing Spider-Man #26.
Ms. Marvel is a beloved superhero in the Marvel Universe, known for her incredible strength, agility, and ability to shape-shift. She has been a fan favorite since her debut in 1977, and has been a prominent member of the Avengers and other superhero teams. However, in Amazing Spider-Man #26, Ms. Marvel is mistreated in a way that is both disappointing and frustrating for fans of the character.
The issue in question features a storyline in which Ms. Marvel is captured by the villainous Norman Osborn, who is attempting to use her powers for his own nefarious purposes. While this is a common trope in superhero comics, the way in which Ms. Marvel is treated in this particular story is deeply troubling.
First and foremost, Ms. Marvel is depicted as being completely helpless and powerless in the face of Osborn’s machinations. This is a stark departure from her usual portrayal as a strong and capable hero who can hold her own in any situation. Instead, she is reduced to a damsel in distress, waiting to be rescued by Spider-Man and other heroes.
Furthermore, the way in which Osborn treats Ms. Marvel is deeply disturbing. He subjects her to cruel and inhumane experiments, using her body as a tool for his own twisted ends. This is a clear violation of her autonomy and agency as a superhero, and is a deeply troubling portrayal of a female character.
To make matters worse, the other heroes in the story seem largely unconcerned with Ms. Marvel’s plight. While Spider-Man does eventually come to her rescue, it is only after she has been subjected to a great deal of abuse and trauma. This sends a message that the mistreatment of female characters is acceptable, as long as they are eventually rescued by male heroes.
Overall, the mistreatment of Ms. Marvel in Amazing Spider-Man #26 is deeply disappointing and frustrating for fans of the character. It is a stark departure from her usual portrayal as a strong and capable hero, and sends a troubling message about the treatment of female characters in superhero comics. Hopefully, future stories featuring Ms. Marvel will do a better job of respecting her agency and autonomy as a superhero.
