Abstract The main objective of this research is to analyze the narrative mechanisms used in superhero comics to incorporate the demands raised by the social movements in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s. The protests emanating from the militancy of the second half of the twentieth century focused on the disidentification problem and the need to return to a process of identity resignification, which had been incomplete during the First Reconstruction. Social movements sought to generate new, inclusive discourses not only in the political and social spheres but also in the cultural one. The mass-culture industry embraced these claims by reconstructing the narrative it had sustained up to that point. The article focuses on this discursive reconfiguration in the comic book sector, more specifically the superhero comic, which applied different mechanisms to incorporate into its plots those subjectivities that had remained on the margins. To better understand the discursive forms of the superhero genre, the author focuses on the character of Wonder Woman and her participation in the feminist fight.
