Imagine you’re a woman reading about your favorite female superhero Catwoman. In the very beginning of Catwoman’s first issue she is struggling to get dressed as an unseen enemy infiltrates her home (sadly, no ADT Wireless security to help her). The first few pages of the new Catwoman, and many other comics featuring our favorite super heroines, could be considered nothing short of soft core pornography in both their depiction of scantily-clad women and the suggestive poses and dialog that accompany them. This does not bode well for the future of females in comics and, in some ways, represents a step back.

While it is certainly nothing new for female superheroes be portrayed more as sex objects than people, it does present a problem to the female readership. Women who looked up to these heroines in the past will now need to look elsewhere if they are hoping to find positive female role models.

The second part of the comic focused on more significant things like Spider-Man’s first enemy, Chameleon. Also, it ties into the Marvel Universe with Spider-Man meeting the Fantastic Four. He wanted to join them on the basis of hopefully gaining money, but finds that they are a non-profit organization. Later in the story, Chameleon actually devises a plan to frame Spider-Man by taking advantage of his spider sense. Chameleon disguises himself as Spider-Man and commits some crimes. He sends a message to Spider-Man right to the location of police try to arrest Spider-Man for the crimes that Chameleon committed. However, he finds Chameleon and brings him to the police.

The comic can essentially be split into two eras. The first, with StormWatch fulfilling a role that falls somewhere between the Avengers and SHIELD, shows the team doing a number of missions for the United Nations. As time passes, however, they begin to realize they have been manipulated by the Weatherman, Bendix, who is revealed, discredited and removed. The team comes through this under a new Weatherman, telepath Jackson King.

However, their golden era does not last. Eventually, their field leader, Winter, is apparently killed as were several other key members of the team when their space station base is destroyed. The United Nations removes their sanction and funding and the survivors scatter. Some of them form a new team, The Authority, under the leadership of Jenny Sparks.

The StormWatch name is later revived with the StormWatch Post Human Division series, which focuses on a street level team of both powered and non-powered cops. This book lasted until the WildStorm global apocalypse plot was introduced. In the aftermath of the near-destruction of Earth, StormWatch is revived under King’s leadership and the book is given the tagline ‘Post Earth Division’.

With the DC Comics relaunch StormWatch has been reborn in the mainstream DC universe with an all new team that includes new characters and the Martian Manhunter. The team has been re-envisioned as a black ops team and the book starts with the recruitment of Apollo and The Midnighter.
