If you've never heard of the "Hawkeye Initiative" then you're in for a treat!!
The Hawkeye Initiative is an art movement that has exploded in the last couple of days!! The idea is that an artist replaces a female super hero character shown in impossible body positions with the male Marvel superhero Hawkeye!
Check out their Tumblr:

Maybe some of you could artistic types could even contribute...

This is a project that I wanted to participate in from the beginning, as a long time male reader and lover of comics I’ve always been a little uneasy about how “sexy” in an utterly conventional hetero-normative way seems to be the only body-type available for comic-heroines. Or how no matter the situation, comic book females are contorting themselves to display their unnatural assets to the (presumably) male audience.
Well, enough is enough! The Hawkeye Initiative is here to reveal how ostensibly strong females are treated like eye-candy by the comics they inhabit. The perfect way to prove the point, a hilarious visual with a serious undertone.

Please enjoy my small contribution to the project, a rendition of Power Girl as Hawkeye.

I like the idea of the hawk eye initiative, but aren't certain superheroines (e.g. Power Girl, Star fire, Poison Ivy, ) too easy a target?
