"OK guys, we need to come up with a character that appeals to girls. Ideally she should inspire and empower young women to be strong and independent, whilst retaining the essence of femininity." Presenting Rainbow Girl: the superhero whose superpower is to harness the powers of the 'emotional spectrum', resulting in wild mood swings. This incredibly sexist creation could tap into such colours as red (for anger), blue ( for hope) and green (for willpower) when she or her fellow heroes needed it most. Her superpowers were basically a mockery of women, relying on her emotions rather than her physical capabilities to handle a situation. Perhaps more insulting, her first-ever appearance saw Rainbow Girl utilise her heightened pheromonic field to make her personality irresistible to everyone around her. The lesson here? As long as everyone likes you, everything will be OK! And look, you've even got a pretty rainbow all around you. Aren't you cute. Rainbow Girl doesn't even understand her own powers, making her one of the most unreliable and pointless superheroes ever.
