Intro
Hi! This is Novia Wang. My project aims at showing an insight about gender representation in Superheroes. By analyzing Superheroes' names, appearance, figure and power, I hope to show the differences between female characters and male characters.
Hope you enjoy it!
Data Source
My project contains 733 superheroes in total. They not only comes from Marvel and DC, but also some other movies. The dataset that I use is called "Super Heroes Dataset" in Kaggle,which can be accessed here.
I also scrape the images for superheroes from SuperHero API.
Future Plan
In the future, I will finish the power part.Besides this,I may also add a visualization of how gender representation changes through time as the representation of superheroes changes greatly in recent years.
