How the actresses who played beloved superheroes have changed (11 photos)

Superheroes always defeat evil villains and save not only our planet, but entire galaxies. But it’s unlikely that they would have succeeded without the beautiful girls with whom they are in love. Previously, in superhero films, such roles were purely decorative. But today these are no longer just lovers, but women who are able to take matters (and the hammer) into their own hands. Let's remember the ladies of the hearts of famous superheroes and see what they look like today.
