· ** Who is the most superior/powerful character on the show? ** o I would have to conclude that Sam is the most powerful character on the show. She does not seem to answer to anyone other than herself, even refuses the advice of her best friend Carly. She dominates the other male characters physically and mentally. Sam’s power stems from her lack of caring for other individuals.

Some positive powerful characteristics in iCarly include Sam and Carly’s media power by hosting their own web-show and Freddie’s vast knowledge of technology.

· ** Is superiority/power displayed in terms of gender or age? ** o The girl characters are evidently more powerful than the male characters. The girls host the show which puts them in control of the content. They boss around Freddie and have to help Spencer in many situations.
