Superhero Stories Have A Bad Habit Of Fridging Female Characters

The History Of This Trend Stretches Back Decades

go by fromDaredevil : Born Againspecifically , it is worth exploring how the wide of the mark superhero genre has me upset for Heather ’s safety . Since superhero stories begin as comics , there has been a bad habit of " fridging " female characters . The term fridging issue forth from funny Holy Scripture author Gail Simone in the 1990s when Green Lantern Kyle Rayner found his girl dead and stuffed into a refrigerator . Simone ’s unfavorable judgment was that women in superhero stories are often face with death , maiming , rape , or other unspeakable tragediesthat are used to further the write up and theatrical role exploitation of male characters .

Non - Marvel and DC comic volume serial ' likeThe Boysimplemented a like bad habit , as have other telly shows and motion picture outdoors of the superhero literary genre .

Since then , the terminus fridging has been used to apply to other distaff characters who fit this stereotype . Some modernistic examples include the likes of Rachel fromThe Dark Knight , Gwen Stacy inThe Amazing Spider - Man 2 , Punisher ’s married woman and daughter in Netflix’sThe Punisherseries , and so on . Even moving away from death and assault , woman are often still used as husks with little character themselves to further a male character ’s development , from Pepper Potts inIron Man , MJ and Liz in theSpider - world : Homecomingtrilogy , or Betty Ross inThe Incredible HulkandCaptain America : Brave New World .

By link the concept of fridging to Heather ’s connections to the theatrical role ofDaredevil : Born Againand Kingpin ’s resurgent wild tendency , I am almost sure that she will meet a tragic final stage . After all , the show is naturally build up up to the approximation that Wilson Fisk will render to his Kingpin agency just as Matt will re - embrace his saturnine side as Daredevil . One way to solidify both of these character transition beyond any uncertainty would be to have Kingpin pour down Heather .

Heather have sex a great deal about Wilson and Vanessa . If Kingpin found out she was Matt ’s girlfriend and his violent ways became more and more frequent , he could flick and assume that Heather was passing information about them to his old enemy . Given that this would seemingly put Vanessa in danger and violate the couple ’s reliance in Heather , Kingpin would likely not hesitate to bolt down her . This way , Kingpin ’s grim tendencies would resurface and give Matt another grounds for becoming the titular vigilance man inDaredevil : Born Again , giving Heather the sad fate of being fridged to fit other characters .
