See the full article I wrote on what-makes-a-good-superhero.
Below I’ve added why I think Zenobia is a strong
superhero.
Zenobia trains as a warrior in Zenobia – Birth of a
Legend and becomes elite with her bow and arrow and
extremely skilled with a sword.
In Zenobia – Challenging a Legend, Zenobia
disguises herself to get up close and personal with her
enemies.
Zenobia should have been put to death at birth just
because she was a girl. She was raised pretending to be a
boy. That gave her plenty of motivation to prove a girl
can be just as useful as a man.
Zenobia – a true historical figure from 3rd century
Syria, led her armies against Rome. She rode on
horseback wearing full armor.
Real or fictional superheroes show us how to stand up for what it right.
