Use the passage to answer the question.

We need more female superheroes. The ones we have are rarely given the same narrative time as their male counterparts, and they are usually presented in outfits that appeal to men. I propose we create more female superheroes with their own stories, their own powers, and their own choice of outfit. Should they get equal narrative space . . . or not? Did you answer yes in a Flash? Can you quote one female superhero? Do you know her backstory like kryptonite or spider bites? If your answer is no, then it’s time for more narrative time and backstory for our female superheroes.

The two techniques the author most uses to advance their purpose are:

  1. allusion - The author references well-known superheroes (e.g., "kryptonite" and "spider bites") to engage the reader and emphasize the cultural significance of superheroes.

  2. point of view - The author presents a clear perspective advocating for more female superheroes, highlighting the disparity in narrative time and representation.

These techniques help underline the author's argument about the need for more representation of female superheroes.
