My collection of Superheroine publication in China.
Wonder Woman 1970s, Isis, She-ra and Supergirl movie has been broadcasted in China at 90s. I recently start to purchase and collect the publication about these characters at that time and I will keep updating in this post.

You can see the painter change her original costume into top, which is a quite interesting adaption.

Wow! Incredible collection. This is one of the most interesting posts I've seen in a while here.

The obvious question: from the "90s" onward, have there been any exclusively original Chinese superheroines (hopefully in tight costumes)
in Chinese media and publications? Since countries like India, Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand have them, and of course Japan has the immensely popular tokusatsu tradition, one would think that China would have a culture of that, as well. Also, has there been any superheroine fetish producer action in China, or is it too difficult or taboo? Frankly, I'm surprised I haven't heard about anything much like that coming out of Taiwan or Hong Kong, either (other than the usual martial arts action flicks and a few supernatural movies), and nothing from Korea other than Wildkat.

Keep us informed!

Thank you! I will post as soon as I get new collection.
In related to your question,HK has a superheroine TV show “Fly With Me” I believe R5 had an article about it. This show is about a woman who accidentally gain superpower, classic superheroine plot.



Besides, The Heroic Trio(1993) by To Kei Fung, a movie about 3 gorgeous heroines fighting crime, however they are not endowed with superpower.

Sorry I do not have so much knowledge about superheroine character in Taiwan.

In mainland China, because the sci-fi, modern fantasy and indie movie culture is not so popular and developed, there is hardly any Chinese exclusive superheroine character on the screen.
However, there are indeed some cheesy internet movies(which is a movie only shown on stream media, kind of like B movie), including superheroine characters. Also there are some fans made movie of giga/zen style, but of very low quality and are not exclusive character.
This is a superheroine fan movie channel on Bilibili.

Yes, DennisLaid, thanks for the awesome reply!

I'm familiar with Fly with Me. It was hard to track down episodes of it that I could watch, but from what I saw when I checked it out last year, there are tons of superheroine feats, but Janet Bin never wears a costume. Instead, she is always wearing layers of rich clothing or a trenchcoat. That seems like a real opportunity missed, because as a comedy it could have ended up a bit more like My Super Ex Girlfriend if she had a costume. I'm wondering if they spent all that money on production why they didn't make a costume. Is there some kind of modesty issue in China?

I will try to hunt down Heroic Trio. It looks very typical sexy 90s combat stuff.

As far as "cheesy internet movies" and "fans made movies", yes, that is what we look for on SHF, remember? If it is the equivalent of Western fetish producers, Giga/Zen, or Russian Alzi, then we definitely want to check out, especially if there are tight costumes. Let me know if you have any links.

I'll be watching that Bilibili channel at length soon. When I looked at it for the first time, immediately a video popped out with the thumbnail saying "SHIP". And that turned out to be scenes from Helen Slater Supergirl and Darna '22. So I'll be checking it out more to see if I can find Chinese produced superheroine content there.

I feel very regretful for Fly With me too. I expect Janet Bin to wear tight or gorgeous costume (like Supermak) but it turned out to that mess. I believe the producers wanted to make a comedy soap oprea so they did not take the superheroine element especially costume and power seriously.

Thanks for asking me the link, but I am afraid it is hard to find an official website of superheroine content(like Taurus or your website) because of China's online regulation policy requires the website which may include transction must be registered. So the indie moviemaker tend to put their content in large platform like Bilbili(Chinese youtube). If you are interested, you could search key words like"女超人"(Supergirl/Superwoman) "神奇女侠"(Wonder Woman) "女超级英雄" (Superheroine) in Bilibili, there are some results.
