Notes

1. A term used to refer to the poses in which female superheroes are placed in order to highlight both their breast and their buttocks at the same time. A position that would literally require a broken back to achieve.

2. Women in refrigerators was a term coined by Gail Simone to reference the number of women who are brutally murdered to further the male characters story line.
