    dedication Miss Leis, Mrs. Switras, Mrs. Owsik It is the responsibility of the office staff to serve the faculty and the students. This they do with a willingness and an altruistic spirit which inspire us all. Although the office staff enjoys perhaps the least personal contact with the student, they assist him in every phase of his high school life. From the day you fill out your first schedule card to the day you receive your diploma, they are ever present in the background, guiding and aiding you. For these reasons, and in grateful appreciation of their never failing interest and understanding we respect­ fully dedicate this yearbook to Miss Mildred Leis, Mrs. Virginia Owsik, and Mrs. Vera Switras. The Editors I would like to take this opportunity to offer you my heartiest congratulations and sheerest wishes for the future. You are leaving many wonderful years behind, but stepping into a most exciting part of life. Though past years seem important now, it is the future that holds your place in life. Paraphrasing Louisa May Alcott, Let LIFE be your college; may you be graduated well and earn some honors. Eugene R. Biringer To The Class of '63: On this memorable occasion, I extend my sincerest congratulations and best wishes to the members of the graduating class. It is my fond­ est hope that the years spent at Metuchen High School will be valuable as you assume your roles in our complex society. You are now faced with the responsibility of insuring the continuation and preservation of our culture and way of life.

Signature Date: 17/12/2020 ii iii ABSTRACT Since the development of the superhero genre in the late 1930s it has been a contentious area of cultural discourse, particularly concerning its depictions of gender politics. A major critique of the genre is that it simply represents an adolescent male power fantasy; and presents a world view that valorises masculinist individualism.

Particular thanks go out to my dissertation group -- Kyle Barnett, Christopher Lucas, Afsheen Nomai, Allison Perlman, and Jennifer Petersen – who read many early drafts of this project and always offered constructive feedback and enthusiastic encouragement. I would also like to thank Hector Amaya, Mary Beltran, Geoff Betts, Marnie Binfield, Alexis Carreiro, Marian Clarke, Caroline Frick, Hollis Griffin, Karen Gustafson, Sharon Shahaf, Yaron Shemer, and David Uskovich for their generosity of time and patience in reading drafts and listening to my concerns without ever making these feel like impositions.

Without you, this project would have been a far more painful experience and my life a lot less pleasurable.
